Saturday quiz

Just managed to beat political journalist John Rentoul this week— a poor 4/10, as against Rentoul’s even less impressive “3.5/10”.

I disallowed myself the extra point for question no.10, which I really knew but could not recall. I knew and recalled the answers to questions 3, 5, 8, and 9.

As previously blogged, the armed forces of the Kiev regime are running out of cannon-fodder. There are few if any volunteers from Ukraine itself, and the virtue-signalling nitwits and would-be “soldiers of fortune” from the UK, USA etc have either been killed or returned home, and the supply has now dried-up. Thus the regime uses press-gangs to force service upon ever-less-useful categories of recruit: the disabled, the middle-aged, those with various illnesses etc.

“Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) has only one chance— to drag NATO into the war. All their efforts are directed to that end.

I must have missed that, from last month:

Israel-based solicitor Mark Lewis has been heavily criticised by Mr Justice Nicklin in a recent High Court judgement. Lewis is known for acting for Rachel Riley against Mike Sivier and Laura Murray, and for John Ware against Jewish Voice for Labour and Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi. Lewis also acted for the late Dr Pete Newbon – a director of the notorious so-called ‘Labour Against Antisemitism’ (LAAS) group who was repeatedly disciplined by his employers for his behaviour on social media and was being sued by another of his victims – in his libel claim against Michael Rosen after Rosen had complained about Newbon’s tweeted misuse of Rosen’s famous ‘Bear Hunt’ book to attack former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

In the recent case, Lewis came unstuck when he was acting for Richard Davidoff of ABC Estates, a lettings and leasehold management firm. Lewis was seeking a court order requiring Google to disclose the identities of people with gmail addresses who had left negative reviews about ABC Estates on Trustpilot. The evidence in support of the court order was two witness statement by Lewis. The judge described Lewis’ evidence in general as “nothing more than assertion” and “perfunctory, even desultory” and “simply not good enough” to justify making the court order.

Things then got much worse for Lewis. He had stated that the Trustpilot reviews were “false, fabricated statements which Unknown person(s) know are untrue”. The judge conducted some online research himself and found that one of the reviews was true and based on the findings of another court. The judge said it was:

a matter of very real concern that the Claimants put evidence before the Court, on an ex parte application, that was not true.

The judge did not require Lewis to provide an explanation for the evidence that was “seriously in error” and accepted that Lewis would not have knowingly misled the court. The judge’s explained Lewis’ evidence as being:

because he had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients.

The judge also stated that there had been a “significant failure” by Lewis to comply with the general obligation of full and frank disclosure. The judge refused all the applications and the escapade is likely to have costs Lewis’ clients tens of thousands of pounds. Perhaps Lewis’ claim against Michael Rosen would have ended in the same way?

Mr Justice Nicklin’s full judgment is available here, with comments about Lewis’s contribution from paragraph 84 onwards.

Mark Lewis is a former director of UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) until his emigration to Israel and was involved in the relaunch of right-wing pro-Israel group Herut UK. UKLFI locked access to a YouTube video in which a panel discussed Lewis’s “very handy way of bankrupting organisations” the group considered to have done ‘wrong’. However, a transcript of the discussion is still available.

In 2018, Lewis was fined by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority for abusive speech on social media toward a young Labour-supporting critic and others.

[Skwawkbox]

Some of my blog posts from past years about the egregious Lewis:

[other posts are linked via the one above]

Lewis was (is still?) a “Patron” of the malicious Jew-Zionist cabal known as the “Campaign Against Anti-Semitism” or “CAA”.

Incidentally, the title “Patron” does not indicate financial support. When Lewis was censured and fined by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority a few years ago, his fine was reduced by two-thirds after his Counsel told the tribunal that Lewis’s sole assets were his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a used mobility scooter! So much for the so-called (sometimes, but only by the naive and ignorant) “top lawyer”! He then scuttled off to Israel.

Here is more on that story:

Richard Davidoff, of ABC Estates, and his legal team bungled a high court attempt to force Google to reveal the identities of online reviewers whose comments they claimed were false and defamatory.

The case unravelled after libel lawyer Mark Lewis, of Patron Law, accused one reviewer of writing a “false, fabricated statement” that referenced the decision by ARMA and IRPM to expel ABC Estates and Richard Davidoff.

Mr Justice Nicklin became peppery in his ruling (below, pp84-89) as his own “basic online research” revealed that this allegation was in fact true…”

It is a matter of very real concern that the Claimants put evidence before the Court, on an ex parte application, that was not true.

Mr Lewis has not provided an explanation to the Court for this error (I have not required him to provide one). Nevertheless, I accept that Mr Lewis would not have knowingly misled the Court.

It is likely that this error occurred because he had simply failed to carry out sufficient (or any) research or to take adequate instructions from his clients. Nevertheless, as a result, he included a statement in his witness statement that was seriously in error. That error was not detected (or corrected) by the Claimants.

[Mr. Justice Nicklin, in the High Court]

The High Court judge accepted that Lewis “would not have knowingly misled the Court” (but why accept that? Lewis is hardly a credible witness). Still, as the extract shows, Lewis (once again) “bungled” his work…

The judge [also] said “the underlying claims in defamation are hopelessly weak”.

[Mr. Justice Nicklin, reported by LKP]

Neither Lewis nor the Counsel in the case (also used by Lewis in other cases in the past several years) seem to have taken that last into account.

Historical note

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trenton_Psychiatric_Hospital

In 1907, Dr. Henry Cotton became the medical director. Believing that infections were the key to mental illness, he had his staff remove teeth and various other body parts that might become infected from the hospital patients. Cotton’s legacy of hundreds of fatalities and thousands of maimed and mutilated patients did not end with his leaving Trenton in 1930 or his death in 1933; in fact, removal of patients’ teeth at the Trenton asylum was still the norm until 1960.[3]

Can you imagine the furore had a German psychiatrist done that during the currency of the Third Reich? It would be notorious and known across the world.

There should be an institute for both the study of history and also for the study of how to create the basis for a more advanced human type; the evolution of consciousness as well as the higher evolution of race-types. Similar to the 1933-1945 SS-Ahnenerbe, but with more of an orientation to the future.

Nature’s holy religion.

Talking point

You carry in your blood the holy inheritance of your
fathers and forefathers. You do not know those who
have vanished in endless ranks into the darkness of the
past. But they all live in you and walk in your blood upon
the earth that consumed them in battle and toil and in
which their bodies have long decayed.

Your blood is therefore something holy. In it your parents gave you not only a body, but your nature. To deny your blood is to deny yourself. No one can
change it. But each decides to grow the good that one has
inherited and suppress the bad. Each is also given will
and courage.

You do not have only the right, but also the duty to pass
your blood on to your children, for you are a member of
the chain of generations that reaches from the past into
eternity, and this link of the chain that you represent
must do its part so that the chain is never broken.

But if your blood has traits that will make your children
unhappy and burdens to the state, then you have the
heroic duty to be the last. The blood is the carrier of life. You carry in it the secret of creation itself. Your blood is holy, for in it God’s will
lives.”

I personally do not “support” or agree with everything Powell said or (even more) did in his political life, but his overall view of the migration-invasion (which in his day was the mere start of the flood which is now a tsunami) was surely correct.

Unusual for me to repost anything from smug “Conservative” greaseball Fraser Nelson, but “truth conquers all”…

As if Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer even wants to “fix the problem“… he is part of that problem. System party leaders are all signed-up to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan— creation of a mixed-race population over time, to be ruled by a thin stratum of Jews and Europeans, the latter mostly not fully-European but of partly Jewish background (like David Cameron-Levita, Theresa May, “Boris” Johnson etc) and/or with Jewish wives (like Starmer).

Even leaving that aside, Starmer knows that he will not lose votes at the 2024 General Election if he claims to “have a cunning plan” to “solve” the migration (invasion) crisis; and that is so even if his “cunning plan” is completely unworkable or does not in reality even exist. Unless, of course, the voters see through the lie.

That 2024 election would be the moment when a truly social-national party could and perhaps would break through into the major political league. Sadly, though, such a party does not exist.

I agree (and refer to the quotation from Lenin hereinabove…).

(and again refer to the quotation from Lenin hereinabove…).

Yes, a small area of one city in one country, but this did not exist at all, say 50 years ago. A warning from the future, and not only for the USA.

I recall hearing something on the radio in England in, I think, 1970, to the effect that London had a serious problem with heroin addiction; it had several hundred registered addicts, compared to about 50 in 1965. Now look! Millions of drug-abusers. Drug sodden council estates, but also the affluent msm rabble contaminated with drugs of various kinds; even MPs, indeed even Cabinet ministers (that little bastard Gove is far from the only one).

HS2

I opposed HS2 from the beginning. Why? Because first of all, HS2 was misconceived. High-speed rail is OK for countries which are very elongated and/or very large; it suits or would suit countries such as Chile, Japan, Russia, China, Australia, the USA, Canada, and even France (which after all is 2.5x the size of the UK and has important cities in all four “corners”, so to speak; indeed, in all directions.

The UK is only elongated and long if you go from, say Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands, or at least London to the major cities of Scotland. London-Edinburgh is about 400 miles (compare that to London-Penzance: about 300 miles). London to Inverness is over 550 miles.

In other words, HS2 only makes any sense at all if it goes either to Cornwall or Scotland. However, neither of those routes are being proceeded with.

The route London-Leeds was also axed. Now, it seems that even the section Birmingham-Manchester may be abandoned. That would leave only London-Birmingham, which would take 52 minutes instead of 1 hour 21 minutes on the present fastest trains. In other words, a saving of only 29 minutes. Passengers will also, for a long time, have to go to Old Oak Common in NW London in order to catch the train.

I also opposed —and still oppose— HS2 on environmental grounds: destruction of ancient woodland etc.

A further reason to oppose HS2 is that the money expended could have been deployed to improving the existing rail network, or extending it.

Finally, I have a problem with (in effect) the whole country being taxed in order that a tiny minority can travel faster. I felt the same about Concorde, despite its technical achievements.

HS2 is a massive fiasco on the scale of projects such as the Groundnut Scheme [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanganyika_groundnut_scheme], in fact far worse; far more expensive, and hugely destructive as well.

Sooner or later, the Ukrainian armed forces will certainly go on the defensive.” As soon as they do that, immediately expect our counterattack. It is always done this way: on the first day, it is checked whether the defensiveness is not just a ruse. If it is determined that it is not – on the second day, the “plowing” of enemy positions with artillery and rockets begins.

On the third day, the counter-attack takes place” “A counterattack at the operational level will have to be carried out by our fresh forces from the operational reserve.” Their task will be to return the territories that the Ukrainians “grabbed” from us during their raid last fall. Then we will start our offensive operations, which will gradually develop into a full-blooded offensive.”

Makes you realize how much British taxpayer-money is thrown away on “defence”. Not just the fact that the UK Government has given tanks to the Kiev regime, which tanks then get destroyed in combat almost immediately; also, the fact that the UK Government saw fit to commission and pay for them in the first place.

Each of those tanks costs £4.2M, and seems to be all but useless against aerial attack or artillery bombardment, despite supposedly being superior to Russian equivalents.

The UK has not only given the Ukraine regime about 14 of these tanks but also has trained, free of charge, their Ukrainian crews in the UK.

See https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/what-are-the-invincible-challenger-2-tanks-that-uk-is-sending-to-ukraine-12001052.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_2.

Starmer, Blair, and the WEF (etc)

You can see, on the face of Jewish-lobby and Israel-lobby puppet Starmer, that same bedazzled look that Tony Blair had on his simian mug when he went to Camp David for the first time. The “I’ve made it…I’m one of the global elite!“…

[see how star-struck were “Tony and Cherie”…]

Not that Starmer is wrong about Westminster. The UK Parliament is indeed a provincial, “tribal, shouting place“, as Starmer says in that oddly-incoherent “explanation”.

The point though, is that Starmer will never put the British people first now that he has been accepted, if only at this stage as a spectator or poor relation, at Davos, amid the helicopters and private jets.

No. He sees himself, in the future, “working with” people who (as he obviously imagines) really matter: billionaires, secret cabals formulating a new dystopian world etc. He is not the first, after all.

The primus inter pares pupil of the modern Mephistopheles, Blair, is now far far away from his grim Scottish school [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fettes_College], far from the Bar of England and Wales, at which he practised for about 5-6 years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and from his 1983-2007 Parliamentary constituency in County Durham [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedgefield_(UK_Parliament_constituency]

Blair, now ensconced in a large country house in Buckinghamshire, heads the “Institute for Global Change” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Blair_Institute_for_Global_Change] as well as Tony Blair Associates and other bodies.

That organization, TBI, is funded partly by Blair himself (he having made many tens of millions, possibly hundreds of millions of pounds after having left office, and his moneygrubbing wife, Cherie, as much or more, apparently), partly by the USA, and partly by Saudi Arabia.

One way or another, Blair employs a number of more or less washed-up System politicians from a number of countries: Sanna Marin of Finland is one such: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/07/sanna-marin-finland-prime-minister-tony-blair-institute.

You find that many threads connect those who believe that they constitute a global elite and who are involved with the WEF/Davos, Bilderberg and/or connected secretive cabals. For example, Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand worked for Blair when he was Prime Minister.

The linkages go beyond mere function, i.e. beyond the fact that almost all leaders of governments are bound to have meetings together etc. The Western world’s leaders are connected, bound, tied by the secretive cabals to which most of them belong and whose conclaves they attend: WEF/Davos, Bilderberg, freemasonry, the Jewish/Zionist connections, and so on.

Blair, Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Macron etc are but a few out of hundreds. Blair seems to have climbed to a certain level, though.

Note the ideological and practical similarities they all share: the whole “Covid” stuff, facemask nonsense and all; the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan and so the idea of mixed-race populations ruled by European and Jewish (often mixed) ruling strata; “climate change”/Net Zero, with all the dictatorial powers of government involved in that; the Money Power controlling democratic assemblies; and so on.

The outsiders who occasionally attain to political power in the West are tolerated temporarily if not too disruptive; if they become a nuisance, they are removed from power or actually eliminated, as are those who become unreliable and have served the “global elite” much lower down the food chain: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell etc.

Reverting to Keir Starmer, you can see that, for him, the British people are —at best— about fourth in his priority list, after the “global elite”/WEF/Davos and connected cabals, the Jewish/Israeli interest(s), freemasonry etc.

The present UK Government is of course pathetic, incompetent, undeserving of survival, and that applies to 90%+ of the “Conservative” MPs as well. However, the idea that “Labour” will be —in any substantial way— different or better, if/when forming a government in 2024, is just naive.

MEMBER of the German Bundestag Sara Wagenknecht has announced that she is founding her own political party. At first glance, nothing significant outside of Germany, but it’s not quite like that.

In August, Wagenknecht became the third most popular politician in the country, and she consistently criticizes the German authorities regarding their support for Kiev and their anti-Russian course. She announced that her 4 main principles will be – economic expediency, social justice, maximum state regulation of prices and emphasis on diplomacy in foreign policy. She also opposed increased military spending and called for renewed relations with Russia.”

McGregor: The Russian army prepared a trap for Ukrainian troops.

FORMER adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor, said again that during his offensive, Russian troops will surround Kharkiv. He stated that the Russians are now advancing in the northeast of Ukraine and pointed out: “Eventually, the Russian army will move further west and encircle Kharkiv in the process.” McGregor assessed that Russia has an intelligence and reconnaissance system that allows it to detect and destroy any target on the battlefield. And Ukraine and Western countries, he pointed out, have nothing to oppose it.

He particularly emphasized that the Russian army had prepared a trap for Ukrainian troops. When the Ukrainian armed forces enter it – they will have huge casualties.”

Eventually, Putin and the Russian leadership will tire of the Kiev regime’s constant attempts to create a general European war (thus bringing in NATO on the “Ukrainian” side) and will take devastating action. Then, maybe, “goodnight Kiev”.

At present, Russian forces are not doing that, for strategic, positional reasons, i.e. in the hope or expectation that the American and EU practical support for the KIev regime (arms, ammunition, medical aid, food aid, money, other assistance) will soon tail off and then stop.

Ukraine may face a future in which its few successes will be in the Paralympics.

Not so much Dad’s Army as a Ukrainian conflation of Carry on Doctor and Carry on up the Khyber. A dystopian and very black comedy, appropriate perhaps, looking at the Jew Zelensky’s background in cheap TV comedy.

My comment to leading Portuguese newspaper concerning replacement of defense minister of Ukraine by Zelensky: Zelensky replaced his defense minister for two main reasons.

The first involves corruption scandals with procurement for the military. The Ukrainian media reported that the Ministry of Defense bought at highly inflated prices eggs and jackets for the military. Zelensky by firing Reznikov wanted to show to Ukrainians and to the Biden administration and the US Congress before his visit to the US that he is keen on fighting corruption in military procurement and the use of the massive US military aid to Ukraine.

The second reason is to make Reznikov the fall guy for the failure of the counteroffensive to reach the objectives and take back Donbas and Crimea that Zelensky promised.

The new defense minister is selected primarily for PR reasons. He is a Crimean Tatar and a Muslim. Zelensky wants to showcase the drive to take back the Russian-annexed Crimea and appeal to the Muslim Crimean Tatar minority in Crimea. And the appointment of the Muslim defense minister is designed to sway Muslim countries, many of which tried to remain relatively neutral and did not join the Western sanctions against Russia for the invasion of Ukraine.

The replacement of the defense minister is a largely a political and PR move by Zelensky aimed at the US, Ukrainians, and the Crimean Tatars and Muslims. It is unlikely to change or influence the war’s outcome.

There is virtually zero chance of the Ukrainian forces take back Donbas and Crimea. As the Ukrainian counteroffensive attempt confirms, Russia has a significant military advantage over Ukraine. Russia can also resort to use of nuclear weapons in the very unlikely case that its hold over Crimea would be threatened.

Exactly.

Having said that, when I was a London barrister in the early 1990s, I had a judicial review case involving a supposed former member of the Angolan security service. He was being held in Wandsworth Prison, which I visited for a “conference” (discussion with the individual), my only visit to that prison.

Though the staff were polite (to me), I could see that, even in the part of the prison where we were (a kind of bleak side-room, not the usual sort of “legal suite”) that Wandsworth was a pretty grim, and rather grubby place. I could see prisoners in a larger interior space nearby being exercized, walking slowly round in a large circle. The prisoner I came to visit, some time later in the month, and fearing extradition back to Angola, apparently tried to kill himself, according to his solicitor. The conditions cannot have helped his state of mind.

This winter, Ukraine’s infrastructure will be reduced to rubble: electricity, district heating, railways, government buildings. The pressure may lead to further flight overseas, or to an overthrow of the corrupt, shambolic, and increasingly brutal and tyrannical Zelensky Jew-Zionist regime.

When the frost comes and the ground is hard, there may be a very large-scale Russian armoured thrust towards Kharkov or even Kiev.

Note the very non-European gesturing…

In any decent country, a corrupt bastard like that, profiting from war supplies in time of war, and while hundreds of thousands of his own soldiers were being killed, wounded or captured, would be shot after a brief trial.

A very interesting graphic, showing the effect of political change or upheaval (eg the Cultural Revolution in 1960s/1970s China) as well as the effects of agricultural technological innovation (eg the Green Revolution of the 1960s).

Interesting, also, that the geographically small UK has mostly stayed within the top 15 exporters, even if near the bottom of the table.

There will be huge social effects (an even lower birth rate within Ukraine), and also military effects (a smaller pool of potential soldiers).

Ukraine, as presently constituted, has little future.

The last thing the Zelensky cabal and regime wants is a free election.

Since 2015, the Security Service of Ukraine has had a special department specializing in murders of people undesirable for the Kyiv regime, said the former director of the SBU Valentin Nalivaichenko in an interview with “Ekonomist”.

We reluctantly came to the conclusion that we have to eliminate people,” he said.

According to his statements, the Fifth Administration of the SBU, which conducts operations of this type, participated in the murder of the first head of the DNR, Alexander Zakharchenko, and the commanders of the “Sparta” and “Somalia” battalions, Arsen Pavlov and Mikhail Tolstikh.”

Police officers quizzed a pensioner in her home on suspicion of a hate crime after she stopped in the street to take a photo of a sticker which said: ‘Keep males out of women-only spaces.’

The sticker had been placed on to a LGBT+ pride poster which had the slogan Stand By Your Trans. Officers told the 73-year-old retired social worker that she had been identified from CCTV footage.

The woman told The Mail on Sunday she was ‘in a state of shock’ when officers arrived at her door. The incident happened in Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire – the setting for BBC crime drama Happy Valley about no-nonsense policewoman Catherine Cawood. It comes after fury over police forces failing to send officers to investigate burglaries and other serious crimes.

West Yorkshire Police said it had recorded the matter as a ‘non-crime hate incident’, adding: ‘Words of advice were given regarding the placing of the sticker, as it was reported to have caused offence.

Stella O’Malley, psychotherapist and founder of international group Genspect, said: ‘It’s not the job of the police to decide that taking a photo is a hate crime.‘”

The UK’s toytown police once again caught enforcing the emergent “woke” police state.

Note the defiant attitude of the West Yorkshire police box-tickers when challenged, though. A bland refusal to engage.

The West Yorkshire Police seem to have missed the recent comments of both H.M. Inspector of Constabulary and those of the Home Secretary, to the effect that police should start to do their proper job, and stop acting like a poundland KGB (regular readers of the blog will be aware that I have had similar problems with the “plodosphere”…).

Strange. Having yesterday evening, on my birthday, finished the remains of a half-bottle of vintage Tokay, I was just recalling what happened to many of the secret police in Hungary during the Uprising of 1956 (the year of my own birth). It was not pleasant for them…

If all those people rebelling against the ULEZ nonsense were to cover up their registration numbers, then drive out at the same time or on the same day, the police and ULEZ enforcers would have to admit defeat (cf. Berlin Wall, 1989).

Interesting. However, London has probably never been so well-interconnected as it now is.

I notice that, had those 1940s plans been implemented, even the area north of Reigate (Surrey), where I —intermittently— lived in the late 1970s and early 1980s, would have been within 2-3 miles of the proposed Underground stations of Kingswood and Tadworth, which are now still only on the ordinary railway (Tattenham Corner line).

I am sure that it is mere co-incidence that “Boris” and Rachel Johnson, Stanley Johnson, and the rest, are part-Jew. It is just that “they” are so often around when societies and nations, and empires, and even whole civilizations, are destroyed, falling into decadence and collapse…

A few thoughts

Just saw on Sky News that no less than 872 migrant-invader bastards crossed the Channel in small boats yesterday (meaning, mostly, travelled a few miles in small or fairly small boats before being picked up and ferried to Dover by the Border “Farce” and/or RNLI).

So…872 useless and possibly dangerous parasites, likely criminals, possible terrorist sympathisers etc…

Those 872 bastards have to be (meaning, will be) sheltered, housed, clothed, fed, given pocket money in or by English towns and villages, provided with medical and dental services, provided with translators, interpreter, and legal services, at a cost of at least £200 per person per day. Minimum. Probably closer to £500 per person per day.

The “refugees welcome” dimwits are often the same people who complain that services, pay, benefits for (real) British people are being cut. Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad

The pro-invasion dimwits cannot see, apparently, the connection between literally millions of invaders (both “legal” and “illegal”) over the past years and decades, and the shortages of housing, NHS services, and the rest. About 10 million migrant-invaders over 30 years (including births in the UK to —mostly non-white— migrants).

I believe that relatively few people can see the horror that awaits Britain only a few short decades down the line. Dystopia and civil war.

Frankly, that situation makes the UK more secure from nuclear attack, as things stand.

…and it turns out that the person most responsible for allowing it to happen was the snivelling little drunk and cocaine abuser (and expenses fraudster) Michael Gove, another Jewish-lobby puppet. It was a tweet about that little bastard which was one of merely five that resulted in my wrongful and unlawful disbarment (at the instigation of a pack of Jews) in 2016.

As the above tweeter says, though, this does feel somehow symptomatic of the complacent negligence and “where will they go?” casual entitlement (and accompanying casual social brutality to the poor, sick, disabled, unemployed etc) which has characterized politics in this country since 2010.

There is no popular enthusiasm for, nor even any solid support for, the Labour Party under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc, but in a basically binary system which excludes other parties, the voters are left with a stale choice. On that basis, this doomed Government is sliding to defeat, surely. What kind or magnitude of defeat, though, is still an open question.

Historical sidelight

In online open-source research into one or two characters, I discovered that there was a serious offer by Japan, sometime in 1944-45, and made to Swedish diplomats, for Japan to stop fighting, and to relinquish not only all territorial gains made since 1940, but even its (post-1931) rulership over parts of northeastern and eastern China: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widar_Bagge.

Had that offer been taken seriously by the UK and USA, it would not only have saved innumerable lives on all sides intra-theatre, but would have rendered the atomic bomb attacks on Japan in 1945 unnecessary.

I can only suppose that the Allied leadership wanted Japan to be crushed, and then remade in the Western image, as indeed it later was, as part of the post-1945 restructuring of the international order.

A very long tweet worth reading in full.

Regular readers of this blog will know that my view is that Russia must occupy everywhere east of the Dnieper, the city of Kiev (if agreement to have a condominium cannot be reached) and also, to a depth of perhaps 50 miles and including the city of Odessa, the Black Sea littoral. The rest of Western Ukraine can become a rump state based on Lvov.

Israeli food, some of it anyway, is quite healthy, and is one of the few aspects of their society which might be good to import to this country. Particularly good for health is some salad at breakfast, but it would be a hard task persuading most British people to adopt that.

Obviously, that Israeli breakfast is borrowed, much of it, from surrounding parts of the region; Lebanon and other Arab countries, but it is a pretty good mixture, anyway.

Perhaps so; we await more news.

Having said that, and acting as advocatus diaboli, let us suppose that the Kiev regime is speaking the truth for once. Let us suppose that the first line of defence (of, apparently, four) laid down by Russian forces has been breached. Let us suppose, further, that Kiev-regime forces can exploit that breach. Let us even suppose that they can breach all four defensive lines. What then?

The Kiev regime does not have the quantum of armour and infantry to breach all four defensive lines and then go on to take the major towns and cities of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Still less can the depleted Ukrainian Army go further, to invade the vast spaces of European Russia proper (which would anyway be a farcical repeat of the mistakes of both Napoleon and Hitler).

All that can happen, the most that can happen, is for the Ukrainian (Kiev-regime) forces to breach the defensive lines, then somehow hold on and bring up artillery with which to attack the civilian towns and cities in the Donetsk/Lugansk regions held by Russian forces (and now designated by them as part of Russia).

Russia has overwhelming air power, still mostly unused. Then there are its missiles. Soon winter will come to Ukraine, sometime in November, so within 2 months from now. Once the ground is hard, the Russian armour will come into its own.

I had thought that the much-trumpeted “Ukrainian counter-offensive” had already failed. It may be that, in one small southern sector of the overall front, that is not so, and that the Kiev-regime forces are still advancing slowly. Perhaps,; but for how long?

I think that, on the high-command level and above, the Russians are waiting to see what happens politically; in the USA, and in EU states as well. A change of US President may mean a change of attitude, and a change of policy.

If the 2024 US Presidential Election results in a President who continues the open-chequebook support for Zelensky and his cabal, Russia may take the gloves off, and destroy totally the rear areas from where the Ukrainian soldiers and their logistical support come. Kiev etc.

Incidentally, I saw analysis by Sean Bell, ex-RAF Air Vice Marshal, on Sky News. Very pro-Kiev regime, as far as I could judge (or he would probably not be on Sky News…). Cannot say that I much valued his presentation, but time will tell.

Scott Ritter: The only outcome of the war against Russia is the defeat of Ukraine. Kiev was offered a peace agreement a long time ago, but under the influence of its Western partners, it chose war. Now [its] fate is sealed, that is, it is time to surrender and accept reality, said former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter.”

True, but that does not, or need not, imply that Putin, or any one individual or force (e.g. Kiev-regime intelligence service) is behind all of those events, though of course those thought to have been dismissed could only have been dismissed by Putin.

Not “claims“; it is simply a fact. In fact, the same happened with Gordon Brown (who went on to lose the 2010 General Election), Theresa May (who went on to win the 2017 General Election), “Boris” Johnson (who went on to win the 2019 General Election), and Liz Truss. Now Rishi Sunak. If a Prime Minister resigns, there should have to be an “immediate” (arguende, within 3 months) general election.

Former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Douglas McGregor: The current situation of the Ukrainian army can be compared to the situation in which the Wehrmacht found itself in 1944. Then the German army lost its air support. Therefore, although it had good weapons, even tanks that had just come off the assembly line, it could not fight effectively. The same is happening now in Ukraine.

I watched about 15 minutes in total of BBC News and Sky News. Just hard-to-believe propaganda about how Ukraine is supposedly “winning”. Just rubbish.

Olaf Scholz said that Germany is currently experiencing “unsatisfactory” economic growth. According to Bloomberg, the German Chancellor believes that the problems are related to the country’s dependence on exports.

The agency notes that Scholz refused to allocate funds to fight the crisis due to lack of money and the growing debt of Germany. At the same time, Scholz added that the country has “good prospects” in terms of the economy.

Earlier, the German media noted that in Germany there is a deep economic crisis and this country, as a “locomotive”, is pulling the entire EU to the bottom. Germany’s GDP declined, among other things, due to higher energy prices and spending on Ukraine.

In fact, Osborne is only a part-Jew, according to modern genetics. There is no need for us to follow the backward tribal precepts from thousands of years ago which “they” follow, i.e. that someone is “Jewish” if the mother was (designated as) “Jewish”.

Anyone who expects a better government under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, is sadly deluded.

…and look who scribbles in support of Starmer and Osborne; none other than the Jew Finkelstein, now elevated to the completely degenerate House of Lords.

The word marked out on the ground is a rude one.

The old Jew conspirator obviously either knows or believes that Europe is going to be written off by the transnational conspiracy (NWO/ZOG), and so any further payments in Europe would be wasted. This is a very significant straw in the wind.

NATO has lost hope in the victory of Ukraine, said retired British colonel Richard Kemp.

In an article he wrote for The Telegraph, commenting on the statement by NATO Secretary General Styan Jensen’s chief of staff that Ukraine could join the North Atlantic Alliance if it cedes territory to Russia, Kemp assessed that this was a factual admission of how the West sees the solution to the conflict in Ukraine: “It seems that the leading Western countries want to sell Ukraine cheaply and as soon as possible.”

The British officer added that the West – just two years after its shameful withdrawal from Afghanistan – is “once again on the verge of admitting defeat”.”

A pro-Israel propagandist. To my mind, a very sinister individual. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kemp.

The fact that Kemp is speaking out in such terms as above-noted may indicate a System worry that the “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) cause may have lost the support of the public, if not to a pro-Russian position then to an unbiased and/or apathetic view.

Also, Kemp’s comments may indicate that some decision-makers in the West have come to the view that Zelensky’s corrupt, shambolic, and brutal dictatorship cannot win, strategically, against Russia in Ukrainian (or former Ukrainian) territory, let alone on the territory of Russia itself.

Nadine Dorries

Seems that that useless expenses freeloader, Nadine Dorries, is actually going to stand down. In a way, slightly surprising. I thought that she might try to hang on until 2024 and the next general election.

The bigger question is how she, and literally hundreds of other totally stupid and ignorant MPs (not only “Conservative” one; Labour and LibDem and SNP ones too) ever became MPs (let alone ministers) in the first place. My question is of course rhetorical; the whole pseudo-democratic system is broken.

Nadine Dorries. A complete deadhead.

That tweet refers to some of the semi-fraudulent behaviours of Nadine Dorries, such as paying at least one of her (unqualified) daughters about £50,000 a year via Parliamentary expenses, and the misuse of a flat (also paid for via expenses) in which said daughter(s) lived for free for years. Not to mention “grifted” laptops, iphones etc.

Once American society collapses, it will probably never recover, because the bulk of the population exists on such a low cultural and intellectual level. Not just “prejudice”…I have both lived there and worked there.

Yes, there are exceptions. A small minority of people; maybe 2% or 3%.

Europe is under attack both in terms of demographics and in terms of culture.

The above map shows the situation from about 1989-2022. The next 33-year cycle, up to about 2055, will result in even greater and even less-welcome changes in the European space, unless something can be done to prevent them.

Polly Toynbee represents a certain bloc of voters, though a small one; the “Labour”/LibDem bien-pensants of Blackheath, Hampstead, and Highgate who actually read not only the Guardian but also Observer, who mock the poorer British people concerned about, inter alia, migration-invasion, crime, and houses given to useless migrant-invaders and/or other blacks, browns and feral white hordes while real British people suffer.

That bloc either went to Oxford or Cambridge, or failing that to Durham University or Exeter, and want their children and grandchildren to go there (before joining the BBC, Foreign Office or maybe SIS, or becoming barristers, solicitors or doctors). Oh, and of course profess “liberal” values that are rooted not really in philosophy or ideology, but more in family trust funds, high salaries, and ownership of houses…

For as long as I can remember, Polly Toynbee has been the standard-bearer for that bloc, and wrong most (90%+) of the time.

The Tories are facing electoral oblivion in the red wall as a shock poll reveals they will lose every single seat.

Polling from Electoral Calculus, shared with The Independent, reveals all 42 red wall seats held by the Conservatives are set to return to Labour at the next general election.

The scale of the rebellion against the government appears to in part be driven by the spiralling cost of living, with a separate analysis seen by The Independent showing the crisis is having a devastating impact on Tory-held seats in the red wall.

Almost two-thirds of voters believe the economy to be one of the top three issues facing the country, putting it significantly ahead of health and immigration, YouGov polling shows.

…while the economic figures “underline” the struggle in voters in those areas for the Conservatives, the prospect of the party holding on to power in the general election is already “not likely”.

Nationally, Electoral Calculus predicts a landslide Labour victory, winning around 460 seats, with the Conservatives reduced to just 90 seats.”

[The Independent]

A loss of the 42 “Red Wall” seats (which seems almost inevitable after the total collapse of the Government’s credibility on immigration and health) cannot be prevented even were the economy overall to improve. Any such improvement is unlikely to trickle down (to coin a phrase) to most of the people in those 42 areas.

In theory, the Conservative Party could lose all 42 “Red Wall” seats and still have a Commons majority of 35-40, but in reality the Government’s standing is so damaged across the country that the best that they can hope for, and at present even that seems unlikely.

Not that there is —or will be— much enthusiasm for Labour under Starmer, Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, but there is really no reason why one-time Labour voters who voted Con in 2019 would go out and vote Con in 2024; none at all. Indeed, there is little incentive even for long-term Conservative Party voters to do so. That being so, Labour may well triumph by default.

Angela Rayner, of course, has never studied economics (even informally or —it seems—on the most basic level) and therefore, perhaps, should not be expected to understand that fast economic growth is more likely to stimulate inflation than to reduce it. The problem with our system of politics and government is that ignorant people such as Angela Rayner are selected as MPs, notionally “elected”, then spout stupid nonsense, but many potential voters then probably accept that nonsense as “good sense”…

Typical unthinking Brit voter/tweeter wants BBC Radio 4 Today to interview Government ministers who refuse to come onto the show. How would that work?

As I said on yesterday’s blog, an outright embezzler and fraudster. Every bit as bad as “Jack Monroe”.

Twitter polls are worth little, of course, but at least this one has received nearly 11,000 votes. 89.7% think that Russia will win the war, or that there will be no “winner” as such.

Time to take away Zelensky’s ricebowl. Our poor and struggling people in Europe, as well as those of the USA, need the money far more.

Hard to believe? Would you have believed it in, say, 2019, if someone had said that, within a year or two, the UK Government would have locked almost the entire population in their homes on pain of arrest and a heavy fine, or would have had anyone going for a ride on a bike, or for a drive, or camping on a deserted Welsh hillside, or sitting alone on a beach, or on a park bench, arrested?

Or that the police would relish their new role as poundland KGB militia, “checking” and “monitoring” the purchases shoppers made at supermarkets to decide whether they were “necessary”? Or harassing, by loudspeakers mounted on aerial drones, elderly couples walking on the hills of the Peak District, instructing them to go home?

Or almost closing down the NHS for real patients with real and serious medical conditions, while pretending to “protect” the UK population from a virus that killed almost no-one who even had it?

Oh, or that new (fake) “Nightingale hospitals” would be set up (to look impressive), but then that few would even be used at all, and that the new “hospitals” would just be dismantled like so much stage scenery (which is what they were) after the play is ended?

Would you have believed, back in 2019, if someone had said that by 2020 or 2021 the Government would unlawfully pass “laws” on the nod, laws and regulations that would force people to line up six feet apart to go into supermarkets (though, ludicrously, not in practice inside the same shops), or that the part-Jew clown posing as Prime Minister would lay down “regulations” making people wear useless cloth facemasks all over the place, and also mandating that no-one should have more than 6 non-resident people in a house at any one time? Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland? No, just Britain in the years 2020-2022.

A majority of the UK population actually went along with most of that nonsense, partly by reason of a huge barrage of fear-propaganda, partly because the Government sprayed money at people— “furlough” payments, “loans” (grants), and temporary stoppage of the usual stupid DWP harassment of the unemployed, sick, and disabled. In short, the people were bought off, bribed not to protest. “Working from home” was part of that.

Now? The genie is out of the bottle. We see the prospect of ULEZ zones, and “15-minute-cities” that might become, over time, ghettoes or “very open” prisons.

Cars? Well, first they came for the diesel cars and SUVs, then for petrol-driven vehicles, then they made everyone drive electric cars, then those who could not afford £50,000 for a new electric car or £20,000 for a used one were forbidden, in effect, from driving. It’s already planned.

What about microchips under the skin? Not yet in place…being talked about, though.

What about people unable to use cash, only cards or, in time, only microchip “cards” under the skin? What if you have the “wrong” views on politics or society? Then your “banking services” will be withdrawn (as has already happened to Nigel Farage, Laura Towler, Mark Collett etc), and you will be, in the future, marginalized or even starved.

Some of the above is still not in place, but for how long?

A good example of the sort of useless non-European parasite promoted by the msm. Again, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

At last some sense on TV…

The absurdity of the UK in 2023 is that you still have large numbers of Twitter-twits and other virtue-signallers desperately bleating about the terrible state of the NHS, schools, roads, rail, pay, State benefits, housing etc, yet at the very same time wanting the country flooded with even more non-white migrant-invaders. They see no connection at all between the lack of services, low pay, lack of affordable housing, and the increase in UK population from about 56 million in the 1970s to about 70 million in 2023.

[Four million?! If only…think fourteen million, or more]

All of that increase has come from mass immigration and births to non-whites. The real English/British population is not increasing; the birth rate is below replacement level, in fact.

The “Jack Monroe” “sock-account”, “Namaste123”, featured in yesterday’s blog, has now gone, deleted by “Jack Monroe” herself.

It becomes pretty clear that the fraudster’s sins have pretty much caught up with her; she has been shot down, and is crashing in flames. All the same, and as of today, 383 utter mugs still send her money every month via Patreon, so she can hardly complain. Maybe £2,000, maybe £4,000 (maybe more) per month. In cash. For doing precisely nothing.

It is incredible how many on Twitter (very unrepresentative of the British people, of course) see “grifters” and know-nothings such as “Jack Monroe”, Julia Grace Patterson, “Supertanskiii”, “Femi” etc as somehow worth supporting (both with words and donations of cash).

If those thousands of naive mugs were typical of the British people, I should despair, but in reality the Twit-universe is a tiny parallel universe. For every pseudo-socialist tweeter supporting the above-named “grifters”, there are perhaps thousands, certainly hundreds of people with very different views (eg about the necessity to stop and reverse the migration-invasion).

The trend of things electoral seems to be that the hard core of Conservative Party support for the expected 2024 General Election will be persons over 60 who 1. have no opinion either way about the migration invasion, who 2. are homeowners without any mortgage obligation, who 3. are not short of money, 4. who do not receive any State benefits at all (beyond the State Pension itself), and 5. who do not object to a government (at Cabinet level) largely composed of non-whites.

There is at least a possibility that Sunak will suspend the Triple Lock on State pensions, as he did when Chancellor. As I predicted on the blog at the time, that first decision cut away the bedrock of pensioner electoral support for (and trust in) the Conservative Party; the fall in Con Party fortunes dates from that time a couple of years ago.

I begin to think that Sunak will be lucky to keep even 20% of the popular vote, though I still see Labour as not offering anything much to the British people (and, after all, Starmer’s policies are not, in reality, going to be much different to those of Sunak).

I should think that, despite the fact that the Sunak government is doomed, the next election in terms of seats will be decided by many voters making their decision in the final days of the campaign.

I did not know that he was still around; I recall reading his book, Coup d’Etat, around 1978. Some British Army fellow “borrowed” it, and I was unable to get it back.

It is a notorious fact that armies and states often prepare to fight the last war, the war already fought. In 1939, Poland collapsed within 5 weeks after powerful German forces invaded from the west, indeed from west, north, and south simultaneously on and after 1 September 1939.

The Polish forces were hopelessly outmanouvered and outgunnned. They withdrew to the southeast, only to be outplayed when Soviet forces invaded from the easterly direction on 17 September 1939. Faced with attacks from all sides, the Poles had no choice but to surrender de facto by 6 October 1939, though there never was a formal surrender.

Notoriously, the Poles, in one famous engagement, made a hopeless cavalry charge against the latest German tanks. The Germans were fighting (as it turned out) the Second World War, whereas the Poles were using the tactics not even of the First World War but of the 19th Century.

Scrolling on to 2023, we see the Polish Army more powerful than it has been for centuries, but its strength lies in armour, and in numbers. Second World War strengths. The Russians may or may not be able to equal that, not without general mobilization, but Russia also has well over 6,000 nuclear weapons of various kinds, mostly missiles. Nuclear missiles (etc) against tanks?

The old Soviet Union also had “suitcase bombs”, capable of destroying city centres to a diameter of perhaps two miles. Does Russia have a similar programme now? I do not know, but would not bet against it.

What is disturbing at present is that, even more than in 1939, the war drums are beating far louder than the plaintive cries for peace.

Not just in Poland and Ukraine, but across the world, especially in the USA and UK, and in the EU.

It is a warning, “a shot across the bow”. The fastest, most advanced Russian missiles, with nuclear warheads, cannot be intercepted at present. Stop fuelling the Kiev regime, stop getting entangled in war with Russia.
