Saturday quiz

Well, not so good this week: 4/10, though that was still enough for me to beat, yet again, political journalist John Rentoul (who scored 3/10). I knew the answers to questions 1, 6, 7, and 9.

The NWO/ZOG conspiracy has been exposed —yet again— in the past week. The masks really have come off. Von der Leyen, Macron, Nigel Farage etc, as well as more obvious puppets of Israel and the Jewish lobby such as Starmer, Sunak, and the “tail wags dog” American government and msm.

Oh dear…

Tommy Robinson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson_(activist)] gives his opinion. He claims, with reasonable plausibility, that he is not getting money directly from Israel (though that leaves in the air the question of from where he does get the money upon which he lives in his Spanish exile).

I slightly sympathize with “Robinson’s'” dislike of Hamas and even Fatah, but he seems unaware or uncaring about the strategic “big picture” that has unfolded since 1948 in Israel/Palestine.

I should be interested to see a similar graphic, I suppose it would have to be an ordinary graph, showing the amount and/or proportion of the UK economy controlled by Jewish interests in 1890, 1923, 1956, 1989, and this year.

“Robinson” might care to factor-in to his future comments the question of which group or groups control the political and msm narrative(s) in the UK, and in the West more generally. Not Hamas or Fatah, and not —most of the time— the Muslim community or communities, but mainly the Jewish lobby and/or Israel lobby.

If the Palestinians supporting Hamas (etc) are monstrous, they have been made monstrous— by Israel.

Counter terror police in Sussex have arrested a woman on suspicion of supporting a proscribed terror organisation following a pro-Hamas protest in the city.

The woman is believed to have made a speech at the event.

Superintendent Petra Lazar from Sussex Police said: “After reviewing footage from the protest event held in Brighton on Sunday October 8, the matter was investigated by Counter Terrorism Policing South East. We will continue to support them as they conduct their investigation.

Wait a minute….what was that name again? Superintendent Petra Lazar?!

That is probably the first time I have ever agreed completely with anything tweeted by Aaron Bastani. Perhaps I should have it framed.

The West has lost moral authority. That is what happens when your governments are corrupted by Jew-Zionism not only in the Middle East but also in our own countries; in the UK, USA, France, Germany etc.

I should date the loss of American moral authority specifically (despite all that has happened since 1776) mainly to the events that happened in Iraq and Afghanistan a couple of decades ago, and what flowed from those invasions. The terrible Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other torture programmes, including so-called “extraordinary rendition”; also including the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay.

Grant Shapps

Saw many tweets etc against the Jew Shapps; a few in his favour, too. What strikes me as incredible is that many discuss his words as if the fact that he is a Jew (indeed a fanatical Zionist Jew) is not really relevant! “After all, he has a UK passport“, “he was born in the UK, in Hertfordshire” etc…

Shapps was the head of the Zionist organization “Bnai Brith”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Shapps.

Of course, Shapps was also a near-fraudulent business schemer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Shapps#Business_ventures.

At least with the Israeli Jews in positions of political authority, you know that almost all of them have been in uniform, and quite a few have seen action (i.e. what you see is more or less what you get) but in Britain we now have the Shapps type, who really know nothing about defence or anything else. Not only Jews, incidentally— look at, to name only one other, Gavin Williamson. I blogged about him 4+ years ago: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/.

Actually, Britain cannot “go to war” anyway. For that, you need a functioning Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our very-reduced armed forces are now almost powerless, and indeed almost useless. In fact, I begin to wonder what is the point of even having them. Our very borders are open to any who wish to cross the Channel in a rubber boat. Migration invasion.

Needless to say, Matthew Parris fails to note that Shapps is a Jewish Zionist. I suppose that Parris wants to keep his job; anyone even noting en passant whether someone, even someone as incompetent and dishonest as Shapps, is a Jew, faces loss of job, loss of money, etc, maybe even prosecution…in fact, the Zionists rely on that kind of intimidation (in Europe, where the Jews have no Israeli Defence Force or secret police with which to frighten people).

Since the recent Gaza events, I have seen several tweets by well-known Jews in the UK effectively threatening to report to police, presumably to those police playing at “counter-terrorism”, anyone criticizing the Israeli actions.

Typical.

Incidentally, I have today seen tweets by Jews in the UK who support the Israeli actions, one saying that “In 2008, during [Operation] Cast Lead, Hamas had rockets that could only go a few kilometers. Now they can go 250 km. In 2008, Hamas didn’t have drones, amphibious assault teams, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles. Now they do.

I agree with that. The operational capabilities of Israel’s enemies, both in Palestine and elsewhere, have grown greatly. The population of Tel Aviv will, sooner or later, be protected from air attack little more than is, now, the unfortunate population of Gaza.

In the old proverb, “old sins cast long shadows“…

I recall what a hullabaloo the UK msm made when the bridge was damaged by Kiev-regime attack. Now, though, no reportage. How odd (not).

Very English (to remove the flag, rather than… well, ’nuff said…).

The virtue-signallers have moved on. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) is no longer flavour of the month. Now it is Israel (oddly; after all, a vast mechanized war machine is attacking a largely-unarmed civilian population, half of which is under18 years of age).

Russia will eventually triumph in Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper). The Kiev regime is living on borrowed time.

In other words, the Americans (US Govt, not ordinary Americans) are going to allow the Israeli Jews a “free hit” on the population of Gaza, half of whom are under 18, and at least quarter of whom are young or very young (0-12) in age.

This is going to be an even less equal fight than, say, the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto by German forces in 1943, or the wider Warsaw Uprising (involving Poles rather than Jews) in 1944: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising#Main_revolt; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Uprising.

While “technically” perhaps not genocide, this is at least quasi-genocide.

Again it strikes me that, while the Israeli Jews kill tens of thousands (which may eventually be hundreds of thousands) in Gaza, the most vocal-on-social-media Jews in England are whining (and lying) about how they and their neighbours etc are “fearful” or “afraid“, or even “terrified” of (very limited, mostly “defensive” and only very rarely physically-manifested) “antisemitism” in the UK.

The hurt done to animals, both domestic and other, is another heavy sin to be carried by the Israelis as they further devastate Gaza.

The Israeli army continues to delay the start of the ground military operation in the Gaza Strip.

Now the IDF command has announced that the army will launch a ground operation after assessing the number of residents remaining in the enclave. The ID command had not previously mentioned such a condition. But the world community’s reaction to the events in the Gaza Strip could not but affect Netanyahu and his entourage.

Therefore, for the time being, the decision was made to achieve the evacuation of only the majority of the population from the enclave.

According to numerous Arabic TV channels, more than 800 thousand people have now left the northern Gaza Strip. However, a significant number of civilians still remain in the enclave. If Israel launches a military operation while there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Gaza Strip, it will lead to tragic consequences for the population.

In addition, the Israeli authorities fear the risks associated with the start of a ground operation, involving new participants in the conflict, after which the IDF will have to fight on two, and even three or four fronts. In addition, there is a high probability that the US will not become directly involved in an armed conflict.

Therefore, Israel seems to be delaying the start of the operation not to estimate the number of civilian population in Gaza, towards which the Israeli authorities have long shown indifference, but to assess the real prospects and risks of an invasion.”

Many of the “foreign citizens” are in fact Jews. They flee, panic-stricken.

Diary Blog, 12 October 2023, with a few thoughts about the UK’s prisons crisis

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12620735/Rapists-spared-jail-prisons-hit-breaking-point-Judges-told-emergency-scheme-release-lower-risk-inmates-announced-ministers-early-week.html

Rapists could be spared jail from next week as prisons reach breaking point, it was reported last night.

Sex offenders and burglars could be let out on bail rather than handed an immediate custodial sentence, according to guidance issued to judges.

The most dangerous criminals will reportedly have to be held in magistrates’ court cells if they are remanded in custody.

Prisons in England and Wales are on the brink of maximum capacity, with 88,016 inmates last Friday – leaving just 650 spaces spare.

The senior presiding judge for England and Wales, Lord Edis, ordered that sentencing hearings will have to be postponed from Monday, The Times reported.”

[Daily Mail].

There has been a sentencing crisis for years. While many crimes of drunken violence, acquisitive crime etc attract, quite often, non-custodial sentences, other crimes, often very minor, not only result in prison time but in very considerable time.

Look at the political realm. Harmless teenage fantasists who have downloaded online material such as the notorious Anarchist’s Cookbook (which was sold openly in London bookshops in the 1970s, and without the State imploding) have been sentenced to terms of 4, 5, even 7 years, incredibly. Anything (political or otherwise) involving illicit possession of a weapon (even a WW2 revolver) has attracted sentencing as severe, or more severe.

Likewise, there have been sentenced to prison people such as Alison Chabloz (sentenced to a number of months for posting “antisemitic” satirical songs and cartoons online), Jez Turner (a year, for having suggested in a brief speech in Whitehall that Jews should be driven out from England as they were under Edward I in the 14th Century), and “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch, sentenced to a very harsh 2.5 years for having posted “antisemitic” material on an internet radio station).

The alert reader will have noted the common factor in the immediately-above three Draconian sentences, but what do you expect when 10 Downing Street has the Israeli flag projected onto its facade? Or when Keir Starmer, posing as Labour Party leader, thinks that the Israeli ethnostate has every right to cut off water, food, and electricity (and everything else) from the 2 million inhabitants of Gaza.

As far as non-political crimes are concerned, one often sees newspaper reports these days about various types of criminal sentenced to, say, terms of 4, 5, or 6 years in prison, when a far shorter term of, say, a couple of years would really suffice. Likewise, people are sometimes —in fact, often— sentenced to a year or more in circumstances where, even retaining a custodial element, a few months would be more than enough.

At the present time, the crisis of available space would easily be solved if judges were to work out carefully, as they are supposed to do, the proper sentence in every case, but then, after all that, cut off a percentage, as an emergency administrative-judicial measure. Say 20%, so that a headline sentence of 5 years becomes one of 4 years, or one of 2.5 years becomes one of 2 years. That would scarcely impact anything other than space in prisons and, within a few months, would start to solve the present problem.

Captain Sir Tom Moore‘s daughter has confessed to pocketing £800,000 from books written by the NHS fundraising war veteran.

In a tearful interview, Hannah Ingram-Moore revealed how the family received the money thanks to her father – whose lockdown walks raised £39million for the nation’s health service.

Mrs Ingram-Moore said her father wanted them to keep the profits from his three books: Captain Tom’s Life Lessons, One Hundred Steps and his autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day.

The family is also adamant that people buying the books were never told their money was going to charity. 

However, the prologue of his autobiography calls this claim into question and suggests the veteran thought his books were just another way for him to raise cash. 

The extract read: ‘Astonishingly at my age, with the offer to write this memoir I have also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.’

[Daily Mail].

I was in the minority of sceptics when the old ex-officer (he spent 6 years in uniform during WW2) started his “crusade”. While arguably wrongheaded, one had to respect the grit of the old fellow, yet the whole thing played into the “scamdemic” propaganda of the time, and even the £30M raised probably did little to help the maladministered NHS.

I could see that the daughter and her husband were basically a pair of freeloaders, if not outright frauds, but people so badly (and rightly) want to believe. In something. In anything. You only have to look at the well-known online “grifters” and frauds around. “Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, “Man Behaving Dadly” etc. There are dozens, probably hundreds, of them. They destroy trust in society, as do some of the family of the late Captain Moore.

Were the atrocities not so terrible, it would be funny to see the UK Jewish/Israel lobby all both pushing out (identical) Israeli propaganda and —at the same time— saying, when asked about the quasi-genocidal Israeli Gaza siege, and mass murder of Gazan civilians, “oh, no, that has nothing to do with us; we bear no responsibility” and “we are just opposed to antisemitism, the actions of Israel are nothing to do with our campaigning in the UK...”.

Etc.

In the wake of the merciless assault by Hamas, Israel seems to be planning the same approach.

All the signs are that its government is preparing to retaliate on a massive scale, mobilising the country’s formidable armed forces against Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared: ‘What we will do to our enemies in the coming days will reverberate for generations.’

His defence minister Yoav Gallant has added: ‘We are fighting human animals – and we act accordingly.

Yet just as Iraq turned out to be a calamitous error, fuelling a lasting cycle of violence, so I fear that – however understandable – any attempt by Israel to exact its vengeance with a savage display of military might could be just as disastrous.”

“…a full invasion, such as Israel’s generals are surely discussing today, would be a bloody quagmire. For Jerusalem, it would mean a conveyor belt of tired soldiers fighting day and night, resupplying with food, water and military hardware, rotating and evacuating casualties, for months on end.

It would chew up thousands of troops for little or no benefit, and poison the Arab world, and to a certain extent the international community, against the Jewish state.

Alas, it looks like Israel is set to take precisely this route.

Already the country has launched a barrage of air strikes, causing heavy civilian casualties – unsurprising given that more than two million people are living in a strip the size of the Isle of Wight.” [in fact, smaller than the Isle of Wight— 141 sq. miles as against 148].

This bombardment has been buttressed by a siege designed to weaken the morale of the citizenry by cutting off their water and electricity.

Yet what is the ultimate objective? What does ‘victory’ for Israel even look like?”

It would be even more interesting were Israel to face attack or, even more so, invasion from the directions of Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and perhaps even (though even less likely) from Egypt, and if the Palestinian Arabs of the West Bank were also to join in the fight.

The immediately-above scenario is unlikely, true, but the Americans must have some reason to have moved one of their fleets closer to the region.

If such a concerted invasion and uprising were to happen, though, Israel could be destroyed, its population fleeing in panic.

I face trial late next month on 5 counts of contravening the notorious s.127 of the Communications Act 2003 (recommended for repeal by the Law Commission). Behind that prosecution, a pack of Jew-Zionists.

I cannot write about all that prior to trial, for reasons of potential contempt of court etc, but one aspect of the case is that I am alleged to have claimed that, in the UK, most of the TV and Press is effectively in the hands of Jew-Zionists (as Rupert Murdoch said years ago— and he is 100% pro-Israel…).

Margaret Hodge is just another Jew-Zionist liar and hypocrite.

As in the infamous 1990 Kuwait atrocity story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony.

In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah’s last name was Al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيرة الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign, which was run by the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti Government. Following this, al-Sabah’s testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.”

[Nayirah al-Sabah, the lying Kuwaiti bitch at the centre of the faked 1990 Kuwait atrocity story]

I was in New York at the time, in 1990. Those lies (blown up hugely by the Jew-Zionist mass media) were quite effective in moulding the TV narratives and the political conversation etc.

Water cut off, food cut off, electricity and gas cut off; all other supplies cut off, and area bombing and rocketing of civilian areas, in a “ghetto” occupied by 2 million inhabitants, 600,000 of whom live in Gaza City.

Of the 2 million Palestinian Arabs in the Gaza Strip, about 1 million are under-18, and most of that million are young children.

If there was ever a war crime amounting to at least quasi-genocide, this surely must be it.

If, as voter, you vote Labour now, you get moneygrubbing tools of Israel such as Emily Thornberry (and Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, and Keir Starmer). Why bother?

Emily Thornberry, “human rights” lawyer (etc), who thinks it justifiable for Israel to cut off water and food (etc) from 2 million people, almost all of whom (about 96%) are non-combatants, half of whom are under-18, and hundreds of thousands of whom are young or very young children.

I used to wonder what Israeli Intelligence had on Murray to make him the unashamed propagandist for Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby that he is. Now, I tend to think that he is just deeply psychologically damaged.

As for Julia Hartley-Brewer, I think (am unsure) that she is part-Jewish. She is certainly rather ignorant; I had to correct her on a couple of legal points when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews managed to have me expelled in 2018). Instead of thanking me for schooling her, she tried to obfuscate, and then blocked me.

Murray is right with his “flare” metaphor, though. These events have shown what group really pulls the strings of our “democratic” political parties, and System politicians. With a tiny number of honourable exceptions, all puppets of Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby. From Sunak to Starmer, and from Emily Thornberry to that fraudulent bastard Nigel Farage.

Gaza

A couple of cartoons which speak to me:

Another:

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12612267/IAN-BIRRELL-Inside-Gaza-Strip-Hamas-rules-iron-fist.html

Gaza has constant power cuts, dismal public services, dirty water and a crushing lack of jobs.

Most of its energy comes from Israel – but even the small contributions from Gaza’s single power plant, like all private generators, rely on imported diesel.

Much of the struggling health services depend on the United Nations and charities. Patients in need of more serious treatment require permission from Palestinian and Israeli officials to travel outside the Strip, which is ringed with 20ft fences, motion sensors, radar and cameras.

But the most critical shortage here is of hope. This is one of the world’s most densely populated places and has one of the youngest populations – yet more than two-thirds of young adults are unemployed, while eight in ten residents rely on external aid.

Although tens of thousands of Palestinians used to leave Gaza to work in Israel, the border was sealed after the Hamas takeover, so an entire generation has grown up never able to leave the Strip and never having met an Israeli.

This all makes it fertile ground for Hamas to find ‘martyrs’ for its twisted cause, especially amid the trauma of living under frequent attack and bombardment.

It is little wonder that past polls have found half of Gazans want to leave this blighted place – and no surprise that it was the source of the latest explosion of hatred to stain this turbulent region.

[Daily Mail].

A 2018 account from Conservative Party-supporting journalist Ian Birrell (he wrote some speeches for David Cameron-Levita c.2012), but interesting, and worth reading the full version.

Gaza has been called “an open prison” but it is is probably more accurate to call it a large-scale guarded ghetto. In fact, to me it resembles from a distance— I have never been there, nor (obviously) Israel— the Warsaw Ghetto of the early 1940s: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto.

That Wikipedia account has been subject to the (((usual))) bias, but gives the overall background.

Of course, casualties in Gaza will be given less prominence than those in Israel, because the Western mass media is —mostly— controlled, or at least heavily influenced, by Jew-Zionists.

Look at the Jewish religious festivals. Most, if not all, are effectively celebrations of ethnic supremacism from ancient history. We are talking about 2,500-3,000 years of historical development.

If you said half or a tenth as much about Jews, the msm “claque” would be screaming and (in the UK) the “poundland KGB” police would probably be making a nuisance of themselves…

Political thoughts

The events in Israel/Palestine have resulted in an outpouring of System virtue-signalling.

Sunak, Starmer, and many others all falling over each other to pledge allegiance to Israel. Political con-man, and “controlled opposition” kingpin Nigel Farage, too. In a way, it is a good thing that those who are under that control have identified themselves.

On a different note, I wonder whether the “answer” to the otherwise intractable Gaza problem might be to establish a programme whereby Gazans can relocate to new towns across the Middle East, with co-operation of governments within the region. Instead of one very crowded city of 2 million inhabitants, 19-20 towns, each with 100,000 inhabitants. Gaza itself to be reduced to 100,000, or perhaps to be returned to sparsely-populated farmland.

The above “solution” might be acceptable both to the Gazans themselves (giving them greater freedom and better living conditions) and to the Israeli government (reducing the “security threat” to near-zero), if it could be organized.

A biased (in its tone) piece by a Jewish scribbler; nonetheless worth reading.

An emboldened Iran will extend the export of its missile and drone technology, which is already playing an important role for Russia in its campaign against Ukraine.

Indeed Moscow, though it has had good relations with Israel, has much to gain from a new Middle Eastern conflict.

The U.S. is likely to feel pressure to strengthen Israel’s defences against Hamas rockets with weapons like the highly effective Patriot surface-to-air anti-missile system. 

America does not have a big stockpile of these Patriots, and Israel will receive priority, meaning there will be far fewer for President Zelensky’s government.

Scale of destruction in the Gaza Strip 168 buildings, including 1,009 residential units, were completely destroyed, while 12,600 were partially damaged, according to the Palestinian Authority.

Ukraine is forgotten: the largest American media after the start of the war in Israel closed their “online” coverage of events in Ukraine All major American media have curtailed their coverage of events in Ukraine in live short news mode. CNN, which reported “online” in Ukraine almost non-stop, stopped updating it on October 6. Since then, the link to the Ukrainian “online” has disappeared from the European version of the publication’s main page and has not appeared on it again. Almost simultaneously, The New York Times stopped online coverage of Ukraine. Its main page, like CNN’s, now covers events in Israel online.

Ha.

Late thought

The stories coming out of Gaza and Southern Israel are more than merely unpleasant; terrible. As far as the Palestinian combatants are concerned, if they are sometimes monstrous, it is because they have been made monstrous, and made so mainly by the behaviour of the Israeli Jews.

Owen Jones also had a few words to say about me on Twitter:

That was Owen Jones joining in the Jew-Zionist-led msm attack on me 7 years ago, immediately after my wrongful and (as it now transpires) unlawful disbarment. He also colluded with depressive sex pest John Woodcock MP (now, and risibly, “Lord Walney”) to get me blocked by people on Twitter.

Woodcock/”Walney” was at one time the Chair of Labour Friends of Israel; Jones is part-Jew (either quarter or half: see my assessment of him above).

Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election

Regular readers of the blog will know that I comment rarely on Scottish politics in detail. However, a few words about the by-election.

Obvious points:

Labour won convincingly, its candidate a 35-y-o who resigned from Labour over “antisemitism”, rejoined after Starmer took over, and is a local schoolteacher: https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/23511246.labour-pick-activist-quit-party-by-election-candidate/; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Shanks_(politician).

The SNP crashed from 44.2% in 2019 to 27.5%. To what extent that reflects hostility to the former MP, to the “nationalist” SNP having a Pakistani leader, to the Sturgeon scandal, and/or to the SNP’s failing record in government, is hard to say. Whether the result also reflects disenchantment with the idea of breaking away from the UK is also hard to say. Maybe a mixture of all of the foregoing.

For me, the fall in Conservative Party support from 15% to 3.9% is significant. The previous lowest point had been in 2005 (8.4%). A straw in the wind re. the 2024 General Election. At present, it looks as if only the safest Conservative seats (in England) will be held next year.

Turnout was only 37.2%, scarcely more than half of that in 2019. People are aware that the electoral system is just a rigged con-trick most of the time.

According to a poll from King’s College London, one in three British people believe the great replacement is happening. By the standards of liberal discourse, this means one third of the British public are far-right extremists, holding a view that is never represented in mainstream media and censored off most social media. Despite the heavy censorship and vilification of people who hold this view, people see the reality of rapidly changing demographics in their homelands.

Almost half the people polled disagreed. Are they blind, or just stupid?!

This week, the Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson addressed the nation on the “unprecedented” rise in gang-related violence, calling on the military to assist the police in a situation that is increasingly out of control. Kristersson blamed “irresponsible immigration policy” and “failed integration” for this worsening crisis, stating: “Political naivety and cluelessness have brought us to this point. Irresponsible immigration policy and failed integration have brought us to this point.

Exclusion and parallel societies feed the criminal gangs, providing space for them to ruthlessly recruit children and train future killers.”

11 people were shot dead last month alone in Sweden, the second highest ever recorded in a single month.

Sweden’s upsurge in violent crime coincided with a large rise in inward migration in the 2010s. Sexual assault also rose under the previous self-labelled “feminist government”. A report in 2018 found that 8 in 10 ‘stranger’ rapes were carried out by migrants.”

God bless all those standing up for freedom of expression in the Britain of 2023.

The Jew-Zionists coined the word “lawfare” to describe their own abuse of the English (etc) law.

@LozzaFox is restricted on what he can and cannot say on twitter by his bail conditions. The police are using their powers to control what is said on social media. When they release a rapist on bail, are they restricting them from going near anyone else? This is deep state control of free speech, it’s dangerous, it’s unacceptable, and the police need to be reigned in on this before it goes any further.

Alison Chabloz was likewise gagged. I myself am on unconditional bail, and so am restricted only by the need to avoid any perceived contempt of court prior to my expected trial in about 6 weeks’ time.

The Kremlin is establishing “deep and strong” cooperation with countries that are hostile to the West, including China, North Korea, Iran – Foreign Affairs [magazine].

Brilliant, and very true.

The Conservative Party Conference 2023. Hard to believe, for anyone who remembers the same convention in the 1970s, 1980s, even 1990s.

Do they support those areas having high fences around them?…

Out of 5 or 6 polling organizations, the highest Labour mark at present is 47%, the lowest 43%; the highest Con mark is 30%, the lowest 24%. LibDems are in the 9%-13% area.

Those figures could give a Labour Party majority of anywhere between 120 and 322 seats, according to Electoral Calculus: see https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

One usually expects a narrowing of the polls prior to a General Election, and there is still maybe as long as 14 months to go before the 2024 General Election, but there is no sign of Con Party revival so far. In fact, the empty conference hall at Manchester is symbolic of what is happening in the country. Even dyed-in-the-wool Conservative voters are deserting, I believe. They are not going to Labour, most of them, but are either going to protest-vote via Reform Party or the LibDems, or simply abstain.

As for Con Party MPs, many are deserting the sinking ship. There is no unity. Even Suella Braverman’s attempt to capture the populist vote has foundered. Useless former Home Secretary (and Israeli agent of influence) Priti Patel has criticized Suella Braverman, as has the Indian money-juggler himself (Sunak).

At the moment, it looks as if Labour will win a huge victory by default. That might change, but how?

Traitors to Europe’s future dance with enemy invaders. I know what I would do to them.

…and see how many passers-by ignore the degeneracy. Brainwashed. Supine.

There was once a time when being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes was a death sentence. The ancient Egyptians first described the disease more than 3,000 years ago. During the many centuries that followed, parents would helplessly watch as their diabetic children slipped into comas and died.

By the 18th century, doctors discovered that a heavily modified diet could slow the disease. Many children were placed on starvation diets with limited carbs, which helped prolong their lives. However, such treatments were not very effective, and some children even starved to death. Fast forward to 1922, when a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital, where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetes. These children were in their deathbeds.

The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject each of them with a new purified extract of insulin that they were able to successfully isolate. As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one that was injected began to wake up. Soon, all the children in the room began to wake up—one by one!

The scientists responsible for saving the children’s lives were Frederick Banting and Charles Best. They both agreed that it would be unethical to profit from a discovery that could potentially save millions of lives. They sold the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for $1. “Insulin belongs to the world, not me,” said Banting.

Not only talented but also extremely altruistic.

I have to admit that, were I in their position, I might have kept the patent for my lifetime, and used the proceeds for my own humanitarian and conservation projects. They decided otherwise, as did another brilliant person, Tim Berners-Lee, the main force behind the World Wide Web.

HS2 should never have been approved. There were and are so many better uses for funding on that scale, even within the transport sector itself.

If not confronted at sea, they will have to be confronted later on land, in Rome, Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Stockholm, or London.

Basic Income will have to come, sooner or later.

“Ukraine” of the Kiev regime has long been a “failed state”; now it is not really a state at all.


Russia cannot lose this war, strategically.

The same or a similar social crisis as across Eurasia. The Japanese and others (including the UK) need to put in place social programmes to ensure that suitable young women reproduce (while the State reduces, steadily, immigrant infiltration). #Lebensborn.

Ben Wallace, a washed-up one-time Guards officer (whose highest rank was Captain), and who is now politically washed-up as well (he ceases to be an MP soon, before the next General Election in 2024) has nothing to add of value.

If the police, prosecutors, and courts behave like enemies, then they are enemies.

I say the same (“very or fairly bad”) about all of those categories, except the buses and the fire service, where I should have to answer “don’t know“.

In the news: Ken Loach (and thoughts arising)

https://www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/60979/1/ken-loach-interview-the-old-oak-2023-keir-starmer-labour?s=09

“Ken Loach: ‘Keir Starmer is the worst Labour leader there’s ever been’.

In a no-holds-barred interview, the iconic filmmaker discusses his new film The Old Oak and the current state of the Labour party.

“…Starmer playing political tricks, the dishonest politician that he is. Unprincipled. Seeks power while breaking every promise that he made to get elected.”

What does Loach think about Labour at the moment?

“The Labour Party now is setting out to be the party of the establishment, like under Blair. Blair did what big business wanted, and Starmer will do the same. But the situation is now even worse, so the demands of big business are even more aggressive, and Starmer will do what big business wants. That’s his politics. He’s said as much. His team of similarly unprincipled politicians will do the same. Well, they have a principle, and that’s to support big business. They’ll do everything that big business wants.”

Largely correct, but many of the old-fashioned type of socialist still around today, such as Ken Loach (or Jeremy Corbyn), have no developed sense of race and culture (unlike an older generation, such as Jack London, who said “I am a socialist, but a white man first“).

For Loach and his type of socialist. everything is attributed to class, and/or wealth-disparity. Thus is explained away (read the full interview) why poor Northern English people do not want to live alongside equally-poor Middle Eastern migrant-invaders. Competition for scarce resources etc.

Loach does not seem to consider that, in places such as Knightsbridge, wealthy English people do not want to live alongside equally-wealthy (or more wealthy) Arabs and others, and often deride their behaviour and lifestyles. What price Marx and Engels in that situation?

Social-nationalism is both social and national. The clue is in the name.

Of course, Loach is right about Starmer. That puppet of Israel and the Jewish-Zionist lobby is indeed the creature of what Loach calls “big business” (etc). The System is now ready to transfer power to a group operating under Labour labelling rather than under (as at present) “Conservative” labelling.

Starmer and his in-group (Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves etc), all “Israel-firsters” of course, are basically dictators in search of a dictatorship. They hope that, as under Blair and Brown, the UK electoral system will deliver an “elected dictatorship”.

I myself look upon the 2024 contest as essentially meaningless in big-picture terms: the same policies will be implemented as have been over the past 13 years, or the past 25.

Blacks and browns will continue to be funnelled into Europe (including the UK) at the same level, more or less; possibly even at a higher volume. The living standards of the UK population will continue to fall, overall (deliberately so). Free speech and freedom of expression will be restricted ever further (just as the Jewish lobby wants to happen). Arms and ammunition (and money) will continue to be transferred to the Kiev regime.

In respect of 2024, I want the impossible; I want both main System parties to fail. It seems, though, that one, the Conservative Party, will fail first. Everything I see now tells me that former Conservative Party voters are abandoning the Con Party: see, for example, https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/sep/30/tory-turmoil-as-third-of-voters-desert-party-and-factions-launch-rival-manifestoes.

Only 60% of former Conservative voters are (at present) intending to vote Conservative, though not all are defecting to Labour or the LibDems. Such abstention or protest-voting still boosts Labour’s chances, of course.

The Government is clueless. Look at Sunak’s response to Suella Braverman’s speech about migration-invasion. Feeble. The one thing that might save the Con Party from near-destruction next year, if it involved deeds as well as words, and the Indian money-juggler, Sunak, does not want to know!

Beyond the opinion polling, I sense that, deep down, there is a consciousness, in many hearts and minds, that the UK (and all Europe) is suffering from malaise, and that rigged “democratic” elections cannot solve the (possibly existential) problems that White Europe now faces.

Several European countries are now rowing back on support for the Kiev regime, and the bankrollers in Washington have realized that most of their financial and military support is being wasted or stolen.

Once the USA has a new President, support for the Kiev regime will dwindle or even stop, and about 6 months after that, Kiev will be taken by Russian forces.

In UK money, nearly £700 per month.

If Kiev falls, and a rump Ukrainian state comes into being, Lvov will probably be its capital.

A problem all the System parties have had to face for 15-20 years, partly because the party “conferences” are now just TV opportunities, designed to get a minute or two on TV news broadcasts. No debate, no dissent, no interest. So most party members do not bother to attend, knowing that they will be just spear-carriers in a TV news bore-fest.

All that means is that the areas where they are based will be entirely wiped out by strategic weapons.

With good reason. Germany’s main cities, and many smaller towns, were flattened by Western area bombing in the years 1941-1945, and/or brutally occupied by Soviet forces in 1944-1945. Germany must avoid another major European war. It is senseless to keep backing the corrupt, shambolic, and brutal Kiev regime.

“Covid” thoughts

I was thinking about the hysteria that surrounded the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic.

Certainly there was at least some tangible reality there, to a limited extent, but much of what we witnessed may have been attributable to mass hysteria. I was reading a piece in Wikipedia about some instances of that:

  • Emirates Flight 203 (September 2018) – 106 of 521 passengers on a 14-hour flight from Dubai to New York reported symptoms including coughing, sneezing, fever, or vomiting. The pilot notified airport ground staff, and personnel from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention met and quarantined the plane in New York and evaluated passengers, 11 of whom were sent to the hospital. A few passengers on the “flight from hell” turned out to have common colds or flu, with the other passengers coming to the belief that they were also sick after observing those around them.[65][66]

Makes one think. See also:

  • Starehe Girls’ CentreKenya (October 2019) – 52 students were isolated with an unknown disease, showing symptoms of a high-pitched cough, sneezing and low-grade fever, a number that later rose to 68.[68] As the number rose, the school’s administration shut the school down and instructed parents to pick up their daughters. Specimens collected from the affected students showed only two cases of rhinovirus, a virus that is the predominant cause of the common cold. After carrying out psychological assessments on the students, a team of mental health specialists dispatched by Kenya’s Ministry of Health to the school concluded that the ‘mysterious’ disease was a case of mass hysteria.”
  • Belgium (June 1999) – Coca-Cola withdrew 30 million units of its soft-drink product from sale after more than a hundred people in Belgium and northern France complained of cramps, nausea and other problems after consuming the soft drinks. Testing found no evidence of tainted product and the incident was reported to be a panic, perhaps fueled by the discovery of dioxins in Belgian meat, which had brought down the national government earlier that year.”

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_hysteria_cases].

The above-described cases were spontaneous, but the “Covid” hysteria was deliberately whipped up by State agencies, by System politicians, and by the transnational conspiracy.

Now, the hangover: deflated populations, and a huge bill for all the State monies wasted.

The wanton vandalism of the destruction of the 300-year-old tree reminds us that Evil is not merely a philosophical notion but primarily an active force which, in the human being, encourages destruction, as in the damage done many times to the statue of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen. That small and beautiful statue has several times been vandalized: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid_(statue).

I never liked that peculiar little individual (Andrew Lloyd Webber), though I concede that I have never met him, and also cannot say exactly why I have always disliked him. Just instinct, I suppose. I also suppose that many will cite the pleasure his music has apparently given to millions. No argument. I just do not like what I have seen, heard, or read of him, and that is my privilege. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Lloyd_Webber.

The line of defense of the Russian troops turned out to be stronger than the West thought, said Chief of the Defense Staff of the British Armed Forces Tony Radakin. According to him, it is necessary to adjust expectations from the results of Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the short term.

So Admiral Radakin and his colleagues in Defence, SIS, the System political swamp etc got it all wrong (again), despite all the resources that they can command, yet I, sitting in poor circumstances, and with only my own knowledge and an Internet connection, got it right (again).

Britain is poorly served by its “experts” of all sorts, and particularly the armed services, Foreign Office and SIS.

I was just idly wondering whether it would make any difference at all to this country if we had no Army, Navy, and Air Force.

At first blush, that might sound ridiculous, but in the real world of today, what do our armed services do for us?

Let us say that the UK had only the nuclear deterrent, whether based at sea or on land. What about the rest? What use is most of our Navy now? We are unlikely to want to fight the enemies of the past few hundred years (eg France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Japan), and anyway our Navy is now so small as to be dwarfed by our potential or supposed enemies (China? Russia?), let alone our supposed main ally (in reality, strategic overlord), the USA.

The Royal Navy cannot even protect us from the migration-invasion; indeed, it acts as a ferry service for it, along with others (RNLI, Border “Farce” etc).

The same is largely true of the RAF. As for the Army, it is now so small that it has little capability for doing anything very much.

Are our armed forces an anachronism, as things stand?

At least plant many other trees in its honour.

I blogged about this yesterday.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable” [John F. Kennedy].

System politicians and System msm talking heads and scribblers are desperate to keep those truths from the British people, desperate to talk about almost anything else, to exclude those realities.

You can see the pro-migration (or not anti, anyway) “I’m not listening” types on Twitter/”X”, in the replies to Goodwin’s tweet, putting forward their ideas for why Goodwin is mistaken, or rather as to what is driving mass migration to Europe (“climate change” etc). Some of the gravediggers of our way of life and our whole civilization.

The question I want to ask the liberal left is simply this. If you disagree with Suella Braverman then what is YOUR solution to the global migration crisis? Because deriding everybody as “racist” and talking in vague terms about safe & legal routes with no limit is no solution at all.” [Matt Goodwin].

Exactly. The “liberal” pro-migration-invasion dummies and “refugees welcome” dimwits have no answer to that or to anything else. Take housing. They say the Government should magically create millions of new houses (hutches for immigrants), despite the cost(both financial and environmental). They also have no answer at all to the question as to how many millions or tens of millions of migrants they think acceptable.

Incidentally, I blogged about part-Jew Owen Jones five years or so ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/04/a-brief-word-about-owen-jones/.

The only way the misnamed “Conservative” Party might claw its way back would be to, first of all, back Suella Braverman’s views not only by words but by tough and uncompromising deeds, but I see no sign that Indian money-juggler Sunak, completely controlled by the transnational conspiracy, might do anything like that.

Indeed, it might be that Sunak and others want their own party to go down badly in 2024, in order to install Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer as an “elected dictator”, doing the bidding of the Zionists, the Bilderbergers, the freemasonic cabals, the WEF etc. Elimination of freedom of expression (already cut back hugely) etc.

Admittedly, a “conspiratorial” suggestion, but maybe right all the same…

As I said yesterday, ironic that the only voice in Government speaking the truth (some of it) about the migration-invasion of Europe is an Indian woman married to a Jew. Strange times…

It does a bit deeper than the “corporate money train“. Part of the “Great Reset” is the increasingly-pervasive censorship across the world, and very obvious in the UK these days.

Actually, when you look at tweets by the “FBPE” idiots, the “Supertanskiii” types etc, you see that the self-describing “Left” and or pseudo-liberals have actually nothing to say about ideology, policy etc. Their main joy is seeing people get “cancelled”, dismissed from jobs, expelled from professions, sacked from positions etc for expressing the “wrong” views, or just for not going along with the mob.

The self-describing “Left” have pretty much given up trying to create or push for a better society, and anyway have no real ideas about how to achieve that, and so they settle for this sterile “cancel culture”: getting people expelled from Twitter or Youtube etc, getting people dismissed from even quite standard jobs, and so on. That, and tweeting rubbish in the “Supertanskiii” vein, such as about how they “f*****g hate” “Tories” and various other labelled people.

Most of this, maybe not all, has its roots in the Jew-Zionist attempts over the past half-century or so to destroy free speech about Jewish behaviour and/or the whole “holocaust” farrago. It has now leaked out from there —mostly from there, in my view— and contaminates society generally.

…and when it is said there that “1.2M people entered the country; 600,000 net” last year alone, what that really means is that 1.2M (mostly black and brown) entered the UK, and that, yes, 600,000 people left, but many —perhaps most— of the 600,000 that left were real British people fleeing to countries such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada. So 1.2M non-whites entered, and 900,000+ remain, whereas 300,000+ white British people left, so the population was altered demographically by not far short of a million, from white to non-white.

“Secretary of the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine O. Danilov doubts that the West will support Ukraine “until victory.”

To this day, no one can give us a clear answer as to what our victory means. They tell us, we will support you until.. etc. and I have never heard the phrase “victory” anywhere. They say, “until you decide for yourself and make certain decisions. “And they should clearly say – they are with us until victory or they are with us for some time – said Danilov.”

Victory“? Meaning what? Ukrainian (Kiev regime) forces in Red Square? Occupation of Russia, a country about 30x bigger than Ukraine, and with a population 4x that of Ukraine? Destruction of Russian armies and/or cities (when Russia has about 6,000 nuclear weapons, and Ukraine has…none)?

That thug, Danilov, does not explain further; nor, realistically, could he.

The commanders of the Ukrainian armed forces plan to push the soldiers to fight to the breaking point. However, remember the German Spring Offensive in 1918, towards the end of the First World War. The German army dealt blow after blow to the Allies, but achieved little success.” the journalist writes.

When Western support for Ukraine becomes weaker, the conflict will end with the defeat of the Ukrainian armed forces, emphasizes French.”

Furious locals gathered outside a three-star hotel which is set to close in order to house asylum seekers in a move that will cancel hundreds of events as a result, including one woman’s 26th birthday party.

Dozens of residents holding placards arrived at Chichester Park Hotel in Chichester, West Sussex on Sunday afternoon claiming they had ‘no say’ in the decision.

Many of those at the protest said celebratory events had been cancelled after the sudden announcement that the hotel, which is said to be a ‘big part of the community’, will close tomorrow.

It comes as the Home Office said small-boat migrants must be booked into hotels of at least three-star quality with cost of housing rising to £8 million a day.

[Daily Mail].

These incidents are now happening all over the country— local people not only losing out, having hotels turned into hostels for migrant-invaders, and having their communities trashed in that way, but also seeing the prospect of large numbers of black/brown invaders making those communities permanently unsafe and, indeed, ruined.

Further, this is only the start. Million upon million migrant invaders are now invading white Europe every year. The EU is not blocking them, or even corralling them once they land, but actively encouraging them.

The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Google it.

We are looking at the complete collapse of, inter alia, British society, not far down the line.

I saw a newspaper reader’s comment which said something like “I was born in a First World country [the UK], and now live in a country transitioning into a Third World country [the UK].”

Simplistic, maybe, and I never much liked the First/Second/Third World concept(s), but that reader has got it, in essence.

Look again, though, at that Daily Mail report. There are still “refugees welcome” dimwits turning up to warm themselves at the flames engulfing our society. Traitors.

John Caudwell. What a prize hypocrite. Only first heard of him a few days ago.

Having said that, I now see that he does give a lot to charity, and also pays UK income tax despite spending half the year in Monaco.

The rich are different from us— they have more money“… It is usually a mistake to regard the ultra-wealthy as being great brains; even the “self-made” ones rarely are.

People are mostly in the grey zone, neither horrible nor saintly.

Lieutenant-Colonel Anatoly Khrulyov: Ideally, the task of the Russian army now is to reach the Dnieper in the north, and in the south – via Kherson – to advance in the direction of Mykolaiv and further to Odessa in order to cut off Ukraine’s access to the Black Sea. Our troops have already broken through Ukrainian defenses east of Kupyansk and near Kremena. The task is not easy, but quite doable.

“The US government has banned Tucker Carlson from interviewing Vladimir Putin. “You know, I tried to interview Putin, and the American government stopped me. What, we can’t hear Putin’s voice?! Why? Nobody voted on this issue,” Carlson said in an interview with the Swiss magazine Die Weltwoche.

He emphasized that the American authorities have been controlling all media for several decades, and citizens do not know the true state of affairs.”

Government should not, in general, run businesses; however, the exceptions make the rule. “Strategic” areas of the economy which are also “strategic” parts of society generally should be run directly by the State: large-scale electrical generation and distribution, gas supply, water supply, trains, roads.

Everything else, pretty much, can be in private hands but still State-regulated for public health and safety etc.

There is a general attack on freedom of expression in the UK at present. The Zionist organizations are the main poisonous part of that.

As for that unpleasant-looking fat blonde woman MP applauding Jewish-Zionist “anti-fascist” organizations in the above clip, she may well be appointed as a Minister of State in charge of many aspects of digital regulation if Starmer-Labour becomes the Government next year: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Davies-Jones.

Imagine spending all those tens of billions (billions, not millions) merely so that a small part of the population could go between London and Birmingham about 20 minutes faster…and now it looks as if the trains will not even to to Central London, and that the journey may actually take longer than the present express rail journey. Madness.

When I look at policy in the UK, I mean policy across the board, “madness” is the word that always comes to mind. Poor or silly ideas, poor or even irrational decision-making, and hopelessly inept execution or implementation.

https://www.doubledown.news/watch/2023/september/25/exposed-keir-starmer-liar-murdochs-man-candidate-mi5-peter-oborne.

Starmer is a faceless drone, and a complete puppet of the Jewish-Zionist lobby, and of Israel. Married to a Jewish woman property lawyer, and their children being brought up as if fully-Jewish, complete with all the rituals.

My impression of Starmer, apart from the above, is that he is one of those “suited thugs” not uncommon in the House of Commons over the past 20 years.

Starmer’s voice, when not carefully restrained for TV interviews, is shrill, threatening, like that of a far nastier version of “Frank Spencer” [https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/who-is-frank-spencer/].

Peter Oborne’s piece above is well worth watching, and hearing.

The only criticism I would advance of Oborne’s view in that piece, to the effect that Britain must try to get back to the postwar 1950s/1960s “one nation” idea, is that that cannot now happen. Why not? Because Britain is no longer a nation, but more like a geographic space inhabited by various tribes and conditions of people that have few aspects or qualities in common, and fewer aspirations.

In the late 19thC, and then again in the 1930s, particularly, Britain naively allowed some cuckoos to enter its nest. Massive mistake.

Migration could help to ‘dissolve’ the European Union due to deep differences between member states, the bloc’s top diplomat has warned.

He insisted that the war in Ukraine was not fuelling the current rows over migration, saying: ‘The issue is that migration pressure has been increasing, mainly due to wars – not the war against Ukraine…

‘It is the Syrian war, the Libyan war, the military coups in Sahel [a region in North Africa].

We are living in a circle of instability from Gibraltar to the Caucasus, and this happened before the Ukrainian war and will continue after the Ukrainian war.

Migration in Africa is not being caused by the war against Ukraine. The root causes of migration in Africa are lack of development, economic growth and bad governance.‘”

[Daily Mail]

Not only dissolution of the EU as such but also the dissolution of the societies of the European states subject to mass immigration on a frightening scale. That includes the UK.

The city of Kiev must be living on borrowed time, but I think that the Russian high command will hold off until they know the outcome of the US Presidential Election 2024.

The UK General Election is a sideshow, being one in a country completely under the thumb of the USA, and with all candidates for PM parroting the “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) line.

No doubt the reason for that is because “equal opportunities” at some point morphed into “some people are more equal than others”. I saw that both at the practising Bar (1991-1996 and 2002-2008) and when employed by (especially) a large City of London law firm on a 6-month contract in 1996.

In the latter situation, I saw how the relevant partners of that firm, quite obviously running scared of the whole feminism/”glass ceiling” situation, and with many links to high circles of the British Government, appointed as partner in charge of “emerging markets” (basically, the former Soviet Union), an “Australian” woman of semi-Russian background who seemed to know no law (outside that of New South Wales), and whose only qualification for the job seemed to be fluent Russian.

Disastrous (said woman was incapable of being in charge of anything), but when later eased out after several expensive scandals, said woman and waste of space was able to get herself another similar position elsewhere (and probably on similar remuneration— about a million ££ per year), until she messed up there too, and had to return to her native Australia (she became a trade envoy in the end, I believe).

I think that the problem there, and often elsewhere, is that you have —or had at that time, 25-30 years ago— a lot of English male lawyers who had basically been pretty much under the thumb of women all their lives: nannies, mothers and aunts, school matrons, and later wives, and they plainly wanted to “virtue-signal” (as people now say) by appointing a few token women to high positions. In the law firm to which I refer, there were several dozen full partners at the time (1996) but only one woman, as far as I recall, until the Russian-speaker was appointed.

Just a few memories of times past.

Interesting. Whether the story or the meetings will affect the 2024 General Election is an unknown. I rather doubt it, inasmuch as the public still seem split on Brexit, though perhaps now there might be a small majority in favour of rejoining the EU after the disastrous mishandling of it all by the last few Prime Ministers and their governments.

The kind of “comedian” acceptable under Sovietism, always ready to laugh at those whom the System wants to dismiss; their views too.

There it is; from the horse’s mouth. If Zelensky has his ricebowl taken away, the war will stop. In fact, it would stop within days. “Ukraine” (Kiev regime Ukraine) is a failed state. At present, not only arms and ammunition are supplied by, mainly, NATO states, but also energy, medical supplies, clothing and other consumer items, and vast sums of hard cash.

That thug, Danilov, is the enforcer for Kiev’s brutal dictatorship: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksiy_Danilov.

He sees himself as Zelensky’s successor.

This is the reason I eat 6/7 whole eggs daily not just one:

The egg is a wholesome, nutritious food with high nutrient density because, in proportion to its calorie count, it provides 12% of the daily value of protein and a wide variety of other nutrients such as vitamins, essential amino acids and minerals. While protein itself is an important constituent of healthy diet, the egg has been found to have two newly-recognized nutrients – lutein and zeaxanthin – that has put the egg in the “functional food” category. A functional food is one that provides health benefits beyond its basic nutrient content. The health benefits you get by eating eggs are as follows.

Eggs do not raise blood cholesterol: It is true that when you eat eggs, cholesterol enters your body. However, eggs also give a signal for the liver to stop producing the cholesterol it usually produces. The increase in the intake of cholesterol compensates for the decrease in the cholesterol produced by the liver and therefore keeps the blood cholesterol levels constant.

Eggs have choline: Choline is an incredibly important nutrient for your body. This is because it helps build cell membranes and is also crucial when it comes to the production of certain signalling molecules in the brain. A single egg has about 100 milligrams of this nutrient and therefore is one of the best sources of it.

Eggs are good for your eyes: Eggs have two very important nutrients for your eyes. These are Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These nutrients stop degenerative processes from occurring in the eye. Recent studies have shown that consuming lutein and zeaxanthin can significantly lower risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness affecting people over the age of 65. In addition, these reduce the likelihood of cataracts.

Eggs have high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids: Eggs that are boiled have a high level of Omega-3 fatty acids in them. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for reducing the chances of you suffering from heart disease due to the fact that it reduces your triglyceride levels.

Eggs are an excellent source of protein: This is the biggest reason to eat eggs. Eating eggs helps you to lose weight, optimizing bone health and lowering blood pressure.

Egg may reduce the risk of stroke: Studies have shown that eggs are not only good for your heart, but they also reduce the likelihood of suffering from a stroke.

Oct 2019 , repo market in the banking system started to freeze up, ie no liquidity in the banking system. The covid 19 ‘pandemic’ released trillions to refinance the Banksters Now the same is happening again, that is why they need another major event a pandemic 2 or a World War to pump trillions into the collapsing banking system. Result, a hyperinflationery economic collapse. Follow the money.

The Western press is crucifying Zelensky, calling him a pathetic beggar.

During Zelenski’s visit to the USA, he first spoke from the podium of the UN General Assembly in front of a mostly empty hall, and the image makers “photoshopped” the full hall in which Zelenski himself was sitting. He then went to Washington, where the Speaker of the House of Representatives blocked his speech to Congress and was then questioned by a group of senators.

In the end, Zelensky was received by Biden, after which he went to Canada at the invitation of Prime Minister Trudeau. American senators asked Zelensky a question about the elections. The head of the Kyiv regime has made it clear that he will not hold elections next year.

Another one for the “Eastern Front”?

The Kiev regime cannot find conscripts now, let alone volunteers for its failed counter-offensive. In fact, to intrude a personal note, a funny little fellow, maybe 20-ish, delivered an Amazon item for my wife a couple of days ago. He spoke effectively no English, but understood Russian. Turned out that he was Ukrainian and that several others at his base were also Ukrainian. There must be tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, now in the UK.

Is Ukraine stuck?

…the large-scale recapture of the land lost to Russia in 2022 looks less and less likely as the days shorten. Those who invested heavily in a summer offensive against Russia have so far been disappointed. And what then?

The USA is still (wisely) dead set against involving itself directly in the war, so what will break the stalemate? Does this just have to go on and on filling graveyards and doing severe economic damage to Ukraine and Europe? With what aim?

…I can sniff the wind as well as anyone, and when the mighty US magazine Foreign Affairs publishes a major article with the title Will The West Abandon Ukraine? (to which the answer, in my view, is ‘quite possibly’) I think something is going on. 

I’ve never been able to grasp what Britain’s interest is in sustaining a costly and risky war in South-East Europe between two corrupt and ill-governed hunks of the old Soviet Empire. A lot of US Republicans, not just the ghastly Trump, are also doubtful about the point of it.

Then there are recent reports of growing friction between Ukraine and Poland‘s government. I’m surprised this has not happened before, given the fairly recent (80 years ago) violent history between the two neighbouring peoples, in an area where events 500 years ago can still stir up bitter enmities.

And there is the current scandal of alleged corruption in Ukrainian military recruiting offices. This is no shock to anyone, as you can barely breathe in Ukraine without encountering corruption. But the point is that it suggests people in quite large numbers are paying to avoid fighting.

At the same time a lot of men of military age, banned by law from leaving Ukraine at the moment, are being caught trying to slip across the frontier with Romania. Which suggests that quite a few are getting through, and that this is a major difficulty for a country which has suffered terrible military casualties.

Honestly, if this war had not been so widely portrayed in crude storybook terms as a super-simple fight between total good and total evil, which it isn’t, we might have reached this stage before. But better late than never.

[Peter Hitchens in the Daily Mail]

I recall a discussion with some late middle-aged Poles in the snowy Polish winter of 1988; a week or two before Christmas. All three (a husband and wife, and the brother of that woman) had lived through the tumultuous events of the mid-20th Century in that part of the world. The brother had been captured with other Polish Army recruits, then deported by Soviet authorities to Vorkuta, where he spent several years but survived [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorkuta].

That family had originally lived in or near Lvov (now a major city in Ukraine) but had been displaced. They however were adamant that they were Poles, and never Ukrainians. They seemed rather hostile to Ukrainians, in fact. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lviv#Interwar_period.

Since the Russian invasion of 2022, there has been a warmer Poland-Ukraine relation on the official level, but it cannot be said how long that will last; it may be fraying.

A child-snatcher has been jailed for attempting to abduct a three-year-old boy from Aldi – but was thwarted by the toddler’s seven-year-old brother.

Sergejus Paskevicius, 60, from Heywood in Rochdale, was arrested and charged for child abduction in July last year.

He was jailed for three years and two months at Manchester Crown Court (Minshull St).

On the face of it, that sentence seems exceptionally lenient, albeit that there may be mitigating facts not given in the newspaper report. The defendant will be out in about 18 months.

Worth listening to, though for me it is clear that the Earth is reaching, perhaps has already reached “peak population” (especially as far as the non-European —i.e. non-white— populations are concerned).

Convergence of systems, or the same system?

One sees much discussion online as to what is “Marxism” or “Communism” (or “Socialism”), and as to whether the new emerging totalitarianism in the West is “Marxist” or not. Many (of varying viewpoints) question the equivalence, looking at what is aimed at, and what are the policies espoused.

In fact, much of that debate is too theoretical. When you look at things from a practical perspective, the similarities are far more apparent. Look at a few of those.

In the Soviet social system, an extension of the ideals of the French Revolution was preached: liberty, equality, fraternity. Needless to say, those ideals were more honoured in the breach than in the observance. Even before Stalin took full power, a whole system of special rations, special pay, special healthcare and (in reality) education began to be implemented for the favoured parts of the population, especially the Nomenklatura.

Those favoured lived very different lives compared to the rest, all delineated by reference to rank and favour. Spacious apartments instead of shared and/or cramped houses and flats, healthcare in special hospitals (the best being the so-called “Kremlin Clinic” in outer Moscow) rather than standard Soviet hospitals, and a graduated set of special food outlets (usually not even open to the general public), in which could be bought items rarely or never generally available (caviar, smoked salmon, imported foods, imported kitchen equipment), and so on.

At the higher levels, the nomenklatura travelled “soft class” rather than hard, could get internal air tickets when they were hard to get for the base population, and had cars for local and regional transport (even in the 1980s, a black person in South Africa had a greater chance of buying a car than a Soviet citizen).

At the very highest levels, this “class division” of travel reached staggering inequality. The top brass would travel by “private” rail car or aircraft. When Sakharov was told to relocate in order to help with the Soviet atom bomb and hydrogen bomb projects, he travelled in a rail car which had a bedroom for himself and his wife, a sitting room, a dining room, accommodation for guards and other staff, a staffed kitchen, and an observation deck. This railcar was tacked onto an ordinary train.

The disparity even extended to communications, the nomenklatura above a certain level communicating among themselves by means of a special system of reliable and secure telephones. This was the vertushka, or vertushki (there were several levels of service, all self-standing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertushka).

Now look at the rulers and beneficiaries of the Western system today. The lifestyle disparity between the favoured few and the rest came out all the more strongly during the “Covid” “scamdemic”/”panicdemic”.

At meetings of the G7 or G20 heads of government in 2020-2022, the top attendees went around unmasked, shaking hands, kissing the ladies who were governmental leaders or their wives. Meanwhile, right next to them, were the waiters, waitresses, bodyguards etc, all masked! Almost an insult, really, a finger put up to the sheep watching on TV or reading the newspapers.

Indeed, the same is true in terms of travel. Ordinary people were banned from travel, or allowed to travel only on sufferance and after complying with Kafka-esque conditions, but the wealthy few and the governmental leaders continued buzzing around on private jets, and in reality subject to few restrictions.

We see the hypocrisy even now. The Harry Formerly Known as Prince, with Meghan Mulatta, making several transcontinental journeys per month using large private jets, often in order to speak about how the travel of the bulk of the population must be restricted or banned.

Not just Harry and the Mulatta; look at, say, Bill Gates, Emma Thompson and the rest. All travelling on hugely polluting private jets, helicopters, superyachts etc and at the same time lecturing the rest of the population about how they must accept ever-declining living standards…

In fact, that wealthy and ultra-wealthy stratum already live lives very different from the main population. In the UK, for example. Private jets for overseas travel. Helicopters for intra-UK or short-distance European travel. If cars need be used, that would usually be for short-ish distances, and the vehicles will be those that insulate the occupants from the outside. Range-Rovers, Rolls-Royce etc.

Needless to say, the wealthy rarely if ever require the NHS. Private healthcare only. As for security, the police are only needed as a backup for those in staffed country houses or London penthouses etc. Private security, maybe even bodyguards.

One could continue, but you see the point. This is a matter of the exercise of power, as well as that of privilege. The discussion “socialism” v. “capitalism” is largely sterile.

Everywhere you look now, you see the masks coming off: “15-minute cities”, 20 mph speedlimits, ULEZ, “social credit” ideas, the banning of most cars (in the medium-term and even short-term), the threat of further faked biosecurity “health” measures such as the facemask nonsense, “lockdowns” etc like a Sword of Damocles waiting to fall.

Add to that the black-brown migration-invasion and the obvious implementation across Europe of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

The black-brown hordes coming to Europe and including the UK are almost all coming from relatively poor living conditions in their home countries. For them, it does not matter that the NHS is failing, that the roads are falling to pieces, that pay and State benefits are low, that the police forces scarcely work, that the justice system is disintegrating etc. Why? Because all that is still far better than where they come from.

I am glad to see that a large part of the British population is at least becoming aware of the outline of what is happening.

Drivers taking to the road were also left confused as many local authorities failed to put up the new signs ahead of the 20mph limit coming into force.

Some drivers said they were ‘scared’ to go out in case of being trapped by police, static cameras and mobile speed vans, with one elderly couple having cancelled their trip to Aberystwyth to visit family due to their fear of getting a £100 fine.

Almost everyone knows that Keir Starmer would —and probably will— be an appallingly-bad Prime Minister, but after (to take some of the most recent and most obvious) David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris”-idiot, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak, I am not sure that many people really care.

The present Government is dying in an atmosphere of total public derision at its incompetence and pointlessness. Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer is almost a nullity, dull as ditchwater and disbelieved on all sides, but the 2024 General Election is his to lose after 13 years of pseudo-Conservative misgovernment.

Having said that, if the Government pledges to keep the Triple Lock on the State Pension, and if it uprates the same before the 2024 Election, that may help to keep on board the pensioner vote which is most of the hard core Conservative vote. Then it will be a question of whether any other groups will vote Con (if only negatively, i.e. to keep out Lab).
