The old British Imperial slogan was “trade follows the flag“. American power is slowly waning, despite the huge military-destructive power of the USA and its customary vehicle, NATO.

The Jew Zelensky is an actor who moved from comedy to tragedy.

Recent estimates of those killed, wounded (badly) or captured on the Kiev-regime side since early 2022 are in the region of 450,000. The Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder, having to use press-gangs to haul likely recruits off the streets, and making it harder generally to avoid or evade military service.

Does that thug not realize that, one fine day, a nuclear missile might completely destroy the whole of the city in which he sits?

Pictures taken at the Port of Dover on Friday show the Border Force vessel BF Typhoon pulling into the harbour before docking to unload more people believed to have been rescued as they tried to cross the Channel...More than 4,000 people have made the crossing this month.”

[Daily Mail]

Rescued“? You mean “ferried across the channel pursuant to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan“, i.e. the transnational conspiracy to flood Europe with blacks and browns, and eventually to create a mixed, coffee-coloured race across Europe, which will then be ruled by a small minority of others, mostly Jewish or mixed-Jewish/European. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

If you, a British person, find the roads and railways crowded, the hospitals full, the NHS GP unable or unwilling to properly monitor your health, your pay or State benefits inadequate, housing non-existent (or sky-high in cost), then you should know what is at least a very large part of the reason— 4,000+ across the Channel every month, and another 80,000+ every month entering by quasi-legal means (“students”, “family members”, “fiances/fiancees”, so called “key-skilled workers” etc). Then there are those being born in the UK to blacks and browns already here.

A killer driver who buried a cyclist’s body in the Scottish wilderness six years ago after mowing him down has today been jailed for 12 years.

Alexander ‘Sandy’ McKellar, 33, and his twin brother Robert were driving along the A82 in Argyll, Scotland, when he knocked down and killed cyclist Tony Parsons, 63.

The pair tried to cover up the crime in September 2017 by burying the former Navy petty officer on the nearby 9,000-acre Auchy estate, inside a peat bog where animal carcasses were dumped.

Three years later, McKellar confessed to his terrified fiancée Caroline Muirhead what he had done.

Ms Muirhead, 32, was later taken to the burial site, which she marked out by dropping an empty can of Red Bull – allowing police to pinpoint the body’s location.

Today at the High Court in Glasgow, McKellar was jailed for 12 years while his brother was sentenced to five years and three months.

[Daily Mail]

What always amazes me, leaving aside the moral or ethical rights and wrongs, is how many people feel the need to confess crimes, even serious crimes, to girlfriends or stray people. I can think of several famous or infamous cases, including several high-profile murder cases, where that was the case.

One was that of a pair of brothers who killed their (possibly —though never proven— abusive) millionaire adoptive (I think) parents on Jersey decades ago; one brother, the actual killer, confessed while “in his cups” to a girlfriend he met in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil and while on his yacht there. She testified against him at his trial, the primary witness evidence of importance.

https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/1994/8/09/cotidiano/19.html;

According to this report https://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2006/05/15/killer-wants-to-come-home/, he also confessed to his grandfather.

Even the notorious Jeremy Bamber case had elements of that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Farm_murders.

Incidentally, Bamber had been another adopted child.

While understanding the need of some people for “absolution” after confession (as, in effect, in Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment), I do think that such a need shows weakness.

Some people are just better than others at keeping a secret, I suppose.

Sarah Moulds. She was “lucky in her jury”, as they say. She should have been convicted and punished.

I never had much time for Trump, but look at the present alternatives! Biden, an unpleasant man who poses as affable “uncle” (’nuff said…), and who is plainly suffering from some level of dementia. Then there is his V-P, Kamala Harris. Absolutely asinine, with not an interesting thought in her little mind.

Scandinavia (especially Denmark and Sweden) went through a similar slide in social norms: at first (1950s, 1960s) liberalism, then (1970s, 1980s) increasingly dark decadence, until (from the 1990s, and along with the migration-invasion), the societies in question became such as should really be purged from top to bottom.

As for the UK, not much different, really.

It is, in a sense, strange that the USA persists with NATO, when (roughly) 95%, or more, of the military-destructive power of NATO lies in US weapons and support. Even in terms of conventional weapons, and troops, almost all of that is American. Even in terms of money— 75% of the money spent in NATO is American: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO.

NATO, post-1989, is really a fig-leaf for the New World Order (NWO) programme. Having over 30 “partners” with the USA makes the programme look better, more inclusive etc.

Is that to pacify the restive American electorate which wonders why hundreds of billions of dollars are propping up Zelensky’ brutal, shambolic and totally corrupt “failed state” at the same time as many American cities are riven by crime, disorder, drugs, poverty etc?

As said above on the blog, Sarah Moulds was “lucky in her jury”. The trial was at Lincoln Crown Court, so in a largely rural county. That may have been one factor.

I would not let her near any animals or children. She may not be a sadist, as such, but obviously has a hot temper, at the very least.

It seems that what is left of the Kiev-regime counter-offensive is concentrated now in that southern part of the overall front.

In Britain, they [defined] the problem of the Armed Forces of Ukraine [which is] fatal for Ukraine.

The lack of personnel could be fatal for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, writes The Telegraph . Volunteers are no longer enough to maintain the combat capability of the army, and the West will not be able to help.

The combat effectiveness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is under threat not only because of the colossal losses and lack of people, but because of the weather. The autumn months traditionally bring downpours that turn the soft soil of Eastern Europe into thick mud in which tanks, armored vehicles and artillery get bogged down.

All this can stop the advance of the Ukrainian army. Russian victory is finally around the corner as Western support begins to wane. If Kyiv cannot break through Russian positions now, then most likely it will never succeed, the author believes.”

In other words, just as I have been blogging for some time…

The part that strikes me the most is North Korea— 6,645 tanks. They can have only one purpose— to strike, in a massive armoured spearhead, southward, towards Seoul.

A few thoughts about the “lionesses”

I have very little interest in football or other organized mass spectator sports. I have, however, had a few oblique thoughts about the women’s football situation, and the so-called “lionesses” (England women’s football squad).

Though women’s football goes back about 100 years, it has never had the high profile of the men’s game. The same is true of women’s cricket and most other sports.

Now, however, in the UK and other countries too, you have to be lucky to avoid it in the msm. This has come about rather suddenly, and seems to be being promoted as the latest mass “experience”.

One mass “experience” (eg “Black Lives Matter”, “Ukraine”, “Covid” and so on) replaces another, in a never-ceasing chain.

The period 2022-2055 is one in which the transnational secret rulers of the “West” are pushing certain trends very hard: a multiracial mass population in Europe, North America, Australasia etc (as part of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan); globalism generally; globalized finance-capitalism; hostility to white Northern European people, culture, and way of life; “bio-security” (inc. microchip implants). “net zero” (inc. “15-minute cities”, anti-car campaign etc).

“LGBTQXYZ” too. It is noteworthy that a high proportion of women professional footballers seem to be lesbian, if the UK tabloid Press is correct.

Part of the transnational conspiracy seems to concentrate on the abolition of anything even resembling the traditional male/female binary. Thus the constant promotion of the “trans” nonsense, which has exploded in the West, mainly in the past few years. Thus one sees not only some female goalkeeper swearing loudly on pitch, but being widely acclaimed for displaying what until recently would have been described as “toxic male aggression”…

As said, I myself have little personal interest in mass spectator sports, and likewise no great objection to people (men or women) playing sports as they wish. My interest lies in what is behind phenomena such as the present promotion of the “lionesses” team etc.

…answer came there none…

…and, as of today, a hard core of 383 utter mugs is still sending the “grifter”/fraudster some money every single month, via Patreon.

I do not agree about removal of pensions (in this case or any case) but dismissals are probably in order.

The NHS principle of “free at point of use” is one that I support, but it is clear that the NHS has gone astray in many areas, particularly the whole administrative area.

Even today, you hear people claim that only the UK has proper free health care. In fact, many other countries do healthcare better, not least France, where hospital wards (as distinct from one or two-person rooms) are now almost unknown, and where care is often far better as well.

I knew an late middle-age/elderly couple in Brittany (when I lived there for several years). They both had serious health problems. The husband of that couple said that, on telling the equivalent of an NHS consultant what medications he had been on in the UK, the doctor had nodded and replied, “I think that we can do a little better than that“… Does that not speak volumes?

I might add that the couple in question, who lived quite near me in Finistere-Nord, about an hour’s drive, 43 miles or 69 km, from Brest (where the hospital was), used to be ferried by taxi (paid for by the health service) to and from that hospital. Imagine that on the NHS…

There has to be partly a step back (eg reinstating the Matron position in hospitals), and partly a step or two forward (in listening to patients and putting patients first), in the NHS.

At present, the NHS, like the police, the court system, the school system, the university system, the BBC, the Foreign Office (etc), and various other parts of UK society, is just not fulfilling its proper function much of the time.

Freddie Sayers

@freddiesayers

There’s something very odd about changing speed limits to 20mph all over London (and Wales) at the same time as rolling out ULEZ in theory to reduce emissions. The evidence suggests that driving slower at 20mph *increases* toxic emissions...”

That is because (like ULEZ), the programme to get everyone driving at 20 mph is only superficially about fuel emissions. The real or hidden agenda is the “electric cars only” agenda.

What is the real agenda? First, stop the most polluting cars being allowed to drive, then stop all diesel/petrol cars, then only allow certain types of electric vehicle on the roads (at first in London and other large cities, then nationwide, and even in remote countryside).

Result? Most people unable to afford to buy cars or to drive at all. They will then have to travel on monitored and controlled public transport (facilitated by under-skin microchips, in the end), or stay corralled in “15-minute-cities” etc, which will develop into (again) highly monitored and controlled zones almost like open prisons, or somewhere between normal neighbourhoods and the latter.

Convenience and social pressure will tend to “nudge” acceptance of “the rules”. Many may find the new social order not too bad— lower crime, no commute, easy shopping etc. Those who do not easily accept the bridle may be sanctioned in various ways via what may develop into a Chinese-style “social credit” system of control.

The most staunch of dissidents will then be removed, and will no doubt suffer the penalties usually visited upon such people by totalitarian states.

As with the 2020-2021 “Covid” hysteria (now being tried on again…), there is at least one hidden agenda.

Such a case certainly kicks into the trivial zone my own last appearance (of very few) at Manchester (same building, but County Court), where I represented a young but absurdly well-paid footballer. In 2006 or 2007.

[Courts of Justice, Crown Square, Manchester].

I believe that Manchester now has a Civil Justice Centre at another location, and that civil cases are now no longer heard at the Crown Square buildings shown above. Manchester is not a city I know, really, and I have only been there about half a dozen times in my life.

Just read that. Partly true, but it leaves out the fact that, were there less income inequality, a greater percentage of the population would become net contributors to the public funds via taxes of one sort or another.

Strange dream

Like Churchill, I have the habit of having an afternoon nap when possible. Today that came with an odd dream. I was running some political organization, and there was not only some (unidentified) journalist there, but also Nigel Farage.

Upstaging the journalist, Farage had made a grandiloquent offer, that is that he would pay me a million pounds to interview me for some TV show or podcast.

The interview was to take place at an ordinary table on the (maybe) third floor of a building. Just a dull, carpeted space, with a few people (including that journalist) around. Someone else was accompanying Farage.

Farage was about to start when, not quite trusting him, I remarked (in the dream, “urbanely”…) that I was sure that, as a man of business, he would not mind if I asked for the cheque upfront. He started to expostulate evasively. I asked what value of cheque he was willing to give. The answer, after some “umming and arring”, was…£22!

I became angry, dragging Farage from his seat and across the grey-carpeted floor to the window, with him struggling and trying to escape.

As I approached the windows, Farage in my grasp (though struggling to break free), I shouted at him that I had known that he could not be trusted, and that not only should he be chucked out of a window but that I was going to do it!

I then woke up.

Well, that was what I was doing this afternoon…

From where did that come?

In Diane Abbott’s case, the motivation is simple— she just hates white British people, despite having been given a very easy ride all her life.

She is also an idiot…

That idiot might easily have become Home Secretary.

When you look at the —superficially well-educated— political cretins who form the System political establishment, you see how it is that this country is sinking into the mire.

Well-intentioned if stupid members of the public donate money to Care4Calais etc, but I wonder(quite apart from the evil of importing hostile untermenschen into the UK) how much goes to “grifters” such as Clare Moseley, who also had an affair with a North African. In fact, the only reason she did not get knocked up by the said migrant-invader is because she was too old to get pregnant. See https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12085287/Founder-Care4Calais-steps-threatened-drag-volunteer-f-g-hair.html.

As a barrister (until wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred in 2016, though I did not practise law anyway after 2008), I saw, even in the early 1990s, the “rotten borough” that is asylum law, and immigration law in general.

Perhaps so, and indeed that dissident third would shrink further if the people asked knew that the invaders are not detained, can come and go freely, get free food and medical (etc) as well as shelter, and even pocket money on top.

Having said that, the barges are a distraction. Up to a thousand of the invaders cross the Channel daily. Only 500-600 can be accommodated on one barge. Also, cross-Channel migration is only a fraction of the whole (about a million a year, plus births to migrant/immigrant/other non-white women already here).

Not until London is cleansed. Read that however you like.

I wonder which pub that was. I lived, on and off, in Little Venice (Maida Vale), in those years. Just off Clifton Road..

I wonder how that army would stack up against either the Russian one or that of the Kiev regime?

Having said that, armies (especially large ones) vary much within themselves in their levels of effectiveness. Some regiments, corps, or other units are far above others.

Brutal. No wonder the Kiev regime is finding it hard to recruit volunteers, or even mercenaries.

I would be very glad to see Gove “scrapped” (that’s putting it politely); one of the merely five tweets which resulted in my 2016 disbarment (at the instigation of a pack of Jews calling themselves “UK Lawyers for Israel”) was that referring to Gove, entirely accurately, as a Jewish-lobby puppet and expenses cheat.

Truth is no defence, it seems, in such a case. Gove has always been in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist lobby, and as for his being an expenses cheat, the only reason he was not prosecuted in 2009 was that the rules on MP expenses were too-loosely drafted and executed. Parliament cannot even run its own affairs properly, yet purports to be able to run the country effectively.

Gove is, of course, also a drunk and a cocaine abuser, facts of which both I and the public were unaware in 2016.

Look at that photo: careerist Gove, the Jew Miliband, and mentally-unstable part-Palestinian atheist, “pansexual” and LibDem MP, Layla Moran [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layla_Moran#Personal_life], all pretending to applaud Greta Thunberg, the mentally-afflicted Swedish autistic, who has nothing to say that can help anyone or anything . Of course, that was years ago, and Greta Nut is of little interest to the public now (thankfully).

Truth doesn’t mind being questioned“? Very true, but tell that to the Jew-Zionist lobby re. the “holocaust” farrago…

I saw an assessment by some British ex-officer that, were the Russian forces to use nuclear weapons (I presume he means tactical ones) in Ukraine, US and UK forces would respond, directly, by wiping out the Russian forces in Ukraine in 2-3 days! Really? What if Putin decided to raze all major Ukrainian cities, especially Kiev, to the ground, using larger, strategic, nuclear missiles? Would US/UK forces still enter Ukraine (presumably only by air power)?

What if the Russians were to take the “Devil’s alternative” and decided to destroy London and a few key airfields, strategic telecoms centres, and ports? At that point, there is no British Army, navy, or air force to speak of, the UK Government would no longer exist, there would be social chaos in Britain, and it would be all but irrelevant that Russian cities and military facilities would also be eliminated.

If the above were to happen, we would be in world war, “Dr. Strangelove” territory, and the USA would be involved both as target and as nuclear attacker.

This is becoming truly dangerous for avoidance of a real nuclear war, both in Europe and beyond. Are the British ruling circles, for example, really willing to risk a nuclear attack on the UK itself just because they want to deny victory to the Russian forces in eastern Ukraine?

Madness.

The Razor’s Edge

I just wasted 2 hours watching the 1984 remake of the fine 1946 film, The Razor’s Edge, which was based on a novel by Somerset Maugham.

The remake expunged entirely the character of Somerset Maugham himself, who in the 1946 version was both the unseen narrator and also seen in several scenes throughout the film (Somerset Maugham was played by Herbert Marshall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Marshall).

Several changes were made, I think not very successfully, in the 1984 version: the film starts at a kind of charity fete, rather than a country club by one of the Great Lakes. The main character, Larry Darrell (played by Bill Murray in the 1984 film, but —far better— by Tyrone Power in the 1946 one) is, in the 1984 version, a former ambulance orderly home from American involvement in WW1 (in the 1946 film, he is a former WW1 American pilot).

The 1984 film leaves out, entirely, the 1946 version’s final parts set on the Cote d’Azur, and resets those scenes in Paris.

The Himalayan scenes, where Larry Darrell seeks and finds enlightenment after consulting with an Indian holy man and “abbot” of an ashram, were much more powerful in the 1946 version; the 1984 film makes the ashram a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, and the scene in which Larry Darrell is enlightened on a mountain is just not at all convincing.

I have never read the novel, but I see now from Wikipedia that Darrell’s enlightenment in the book came after encounter with a Hindu spiritual master. The 1946 film leaves it vague as to the religion of the “abbot”, but the “abbey” is described as an ashram.

Even the drink which causes the character, Sophie, to fall back into alcohol abuse, is changed from Pertsovka (pepper-and-honey vodka, called —in the French way— “persovka”, in the film) to Zubrovka (bison-grass vodka). I can only assume that that that is because Zubrovka had become well-known, whereas few people in the USA had or have heard of Pertsovka.

Personally, I would give the 1946 version 8/10 as a film, but the 1984 version 2/10.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Razor%27s_Edge; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Razor%27s_Edge_(1984_film); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Razor%27s_Edge_(1946_film)

Incidentally, the 1984 film was both a critical and commercial flop, making back only half of its production budget, whereas the original 1946 version was nominated for four Academy Awards, and won one (Anne Baxter, playing Sophie); it also won two Golden Globes. The 1946 film was not a huge success commercially, but still made back 4-5 times its production cost.

Sometimes, remakes surpass earlier versions, but rarely. In this case, the 1946 version outdoes the 1984 remake in every way: storyline, acting, music, cinematography (despite the 38-year gap). The script in particular is very crisp in the 1946 film.

Lord Reith’s dictum, “Inform, Educate, Entertain” (in that order) remains valid. The BBC has cast it aside.

They see it all right, but they want it to happen, or at least the real and/or hidden ruling circles do.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

“...Coudenhove-Kalergi intended to influence Europe’s policies on immigration in order to create a “populace devoid of identity” which would then supposedly be ruled by a Jewish elite.

[Wikipedia].

The present Conservative Party thoroughly deserves to lose the 2024 General Election, but anyone who thinks that Labour-label, under a pack of Jewish-lobby puppets (Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc) is going to be even slightly better is sadly deluded.

As for Yvette Cooper herself, she was an outright fraudster during the main MP expenses scandal, along with her husband, Bilderberg attendee Ed Balls, and is totally in the pocket of the Israel lobby. She wants even more non-white immigrants (migrant invaders) to arrive. Dead eyes, dead voice, dead soul.

Were I in Putin’s shoes, I should first of all destroy Ukraine’s rail system, then its electrical-generation and distribution system (the Russians are now, very belatedly, doing that), then go all-out to eliminate Zelensky and his cabal, something that should have been done on day 1 of the war.

So far, most of Kiev has not been heavily attacked.

A pleasant tweet. The animal kingdom has more potential than most people realize.

If so, and/or if proven, WW3 gets even closer.

Biden got there first, and on his own!

Obviously, only a small section of Philadelphia will be like that, but it should not exist at all. I believe, from what I have read, that those “zombies” are users of the drug Fentanyl, but for me, looking at their degradation, the mystery is why they use it at all.

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

I recall when I was first in the USA as an adult, in 1989, asking a Federal employee (later my first wife), as we drove through some unpleasant section of Harlem in New York City, why there were so many suspicious-looking, mainly black, individuals congregating on corners, pretty obviously dealing drugs, without being moved on by the police. The answer? Constitutional right of free assembly (First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution).

For me, the law (including constitutional law) is there to serve the people, “for the welfare of the people is the supreme law” [Cicero]: salus populi lex suprema esto. If the law does not do that, it must be changed, however old and venerable it is.

I only heard of Charlotte Proudman recently. What a very strange woman, and I published recently on the blog one or two of her tweets.

What puzzles me is why the new Chief of the Bar Council, one Nick Vineall KC, has endorsed what seems to be a “woke” agenda. I have to say that he himself looks rather odd: https://www.counselmagazine.co.uk/articles/chair-of-the-bar-2023-nick-vineall-kc.

Vineall has, I read on Twitter, attacked some tweets or other comments which have been critical of Charlotte Proudman.

Well, there it is. I do not regret that I decided to cease practice at the Bar in 2008 (though my wrongful and unlawful disbarment, at the instigation of a pack of Jews, did not happen until 2016).

The Bar of England and Wales, looking at it overall, is now little better than a dustbin, like much of England itself.

I think that I have blogged about the pair before: Ig a good friend and one-time teacher of mine (at the nearby language school, part of the University of Westminster, which I attended p/t in the 1980s), and Guy Churchill, a mixture of resigned though amused cynicism and English eccentricity.

Guy surprised me (and Ig, I think, with whom he was more friendly) by suddenly getting separated and/or divorced at (?) maybe 70 (he looked older), while Ig surprised me even more by later getting married, a second marriage, to a young Russian woman he had met at, I think, a bus stop in Riga. My wife and I attended the wedding reception in 2002, where the bride, 20-something, looked out of place among the guests, 40-something and older (many 50+ or 60+).

I was already acquainted with a few of the other guests, including Gerald Brooke, who was exchanged in 1969 for the Krogers (Cohens), long-term Soviet KGB “illegals” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Cohen_(spy)]

Brooke had spent 4 years in Soviet custody; in the Lubyanka, and then at Vladimir prison, about 100 miles east of Moscow.

Both Ig and Guy were rather eccentric. Ig’s main room was full of huge railway clocks, while Guy’s fridge (in the old person’s apartment in Vauxhall Bridge Road he took on after his separation/divorce c.1989) contained only a 6-pack of lager beer. Guy also had another odd habit, one I have never seen anyone else display— he would break off the filter tips from cigarettes before smoking them.

Strange to think back on times past, though it is probably a bad habit when one does it as much as I do (and have always done). Saturn in Scorpio…

As for Drummond Street, there is a similar street in Manhattan, E. 6th St. All Indian restaurants, or was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_Row]. I visited that street too, once only, around 1990 or so.

[Strange synchronicity: after I wrote the above, including the sentence about the Krogers, I turned on Talking Pictures TV, and they were showing Ring of Spies, a 1963 British film (released 1964) about the Krogers and the Portland spy case (1953-1961). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Spies.

Not a bad film in a low-key way, and it keeps pretty much to the known facts of the case.

Also interesting from a social history point of view are the bits of London shown, that now look very different compared to how they were in 1963. Examples include the area of the Tolworth Tower near Surbiton, outer London (the building is still under construction in a scene from the film), and the 1.5-acre public roof garden of the old Derry & Toms department store in Kensington, which later became a nightclub, and later still a restaurant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolworth#Tolworth_Tower; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derry_%26_Toms; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kensington_Roof_Gardens].

Good God! Terrible. I recently saw again one of Monty Don’s fine garden shows, which covered some gardens in and around Athens.

Strange to see various talking heads on msm terribly pleased at the terroristic attack on te Crimean Bridge, an attack which left a young girl injured and orphaned, her parents having been killed. I suppose that the talking heads would not be so happy were a bridge in, say the Bristol Channel or Humber Estuary to be blown up.

Good grief. Looks like they need a sergeant-major…

I agree with tweeter no.2. As to tweet no. 1, that is quite a force (if it exists)— 100,000 men, and 900 tanks (about 3x the number of tanks Rommel had, at max strength, in North Africa in 1942).

Neil Oliver

I noticed that a Twitter lynch-mob has been attacking dissident broadcaster Neil Oliver over the past day or two after he had a dialogue with a doctor who disagreed with him on one or two issues. The Twitter mob have been trashing Oliver not only about the medical questions which were the subject of the show (on, apparently, GB News) but also Oliver’s whole past history, his TV shows on archaeology, his views in general, the way he looks, speaks etc.

Many of the Twitter mob claimed (and at time of writing, are still claiming) that the doctor in question completely defeated Oliver. Also, that Oliver (and MP Andrew Bridgen) had no right to speak because said doctor is a doctor, and so of course (?) knew more than they do.

Well, is that last so? I did not watch the discussion (in fact I have never seen GB News and am unsure whether my TV can even receive its broadcasts) but the said doctor is, as I understand it, an ordinary GP, not a specialist in vaccines or, indeed, viruses.

What interests me is how there is this superficially huge number of persons on Twitter (though probably not even a tenth of 1% of the general population) who are willing to join in with others of their sort to create a Twitterstorm which, in terms of real effects in the real world, makes not a ripple in society or the body politic.

The sheer hatred of their vituperative tweets is incredible. These are, more or less, the “anti-racists”, and/or those who mostly believe every last (and latest, and unexamined) detail of the Jew-Zionist so-called “holocaust” farrago, and who “support” (by having little Ukrainian flags on their Twitter profile) “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev). Most probably support such as the “Black Lives Matter” nonsense, no doubt echo “refugees welcome” slogans (and so what if most of the migrant invaders are in reality not “refugees”), and prefer not to think of the impact of the invading hordes on British health services, housing, social cohesion, crime and, down the line, pay and conditions of employment. Oh, no, that’s for “the Government” to worry about.

I would be prepared to bet that pretty much the same bloc of Twitter posters support the “trans” nonsense, are “anti-Tory” (while —most of them— somehow believing that Labour-label under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer will be far better), and that almost all of them will identify with Remain/Rejoin and, of course, “FBPE”.

The Twit-mob lynch-mob of today is a contemporary version of the Stalinist or Orwellian “daily hate”. Examples seen today on Twitter:

Work in a charity bookshop and it’s very noticeable that we can’t give Neil Oliver history books away. They used to be steady sellers. Same for Starkey and Johnson. History book buyers avoiding like the plague and GBNews viewers can’t read.

If there was ever going to be a Scottish UnaBomber it would be Neil Oliver.

Neil Oliver was always a biased clown, even on his “history” programs – now he’s just plain lost his mind.

“No need to present evidence to dismiss the crazy claims of Neil Oliver and fellow loonies.”

There are hundreds of tweets like that, all from people who think that they know things, and they think that they “know” purely because they believe, by default, various System and msm sources.

They cannot bear even seeing a dissident opinion.

Opinion polls in the UK seem to be showing that censorship, “no-platforming”, “cancelling” etc are becoming more popular, especially among the young.

As far as I am concerned, if people are becoming more and more like easily-corralled sheep, then such people are not worth having in our society, and read that how you like.

Is that true, or just jingoistic hot air? I have no idea.

I am unsure at present whether there are being concentrated Russian forces in Belarus with the aim of launching an offensive south, toward Kiev, or whether those forces are there to keep Kiev-regime forces tied down on or near the Ukraine-Belarus border, so as to prevent the deployment of the Kiev-regime forces to the southeast regions, notably Donetsk and Lugansk, where most of the active combat is happening.

Russia is obviously not short of trucks, which is interesting.

Another Kiev-regime press-gang. They have few volunteers now, and are running out of cannon-fodder.

Britain should be politely distant with China, friendly with Russia, and hostile only to (((you know who))) and other untermenschen…

There is no “after this conflict“. Either Russia effectively “wins” the conflict (whether by negotiation or in the field), or the whole thing turns into a general Eastern European and Central European war between Russia and NATO, which might or might not go nuclear.

Whatever or whichever, there will be few more UK troops in Ukraine. In any case, the British Army is almost non-existent now in terms of major field presence. Take away the office bods, clerks, rear-echelon elements, and the whole brass-hat staff officer element (etc, meaning all non-combatant units), and I doubt that the UK could field, overseas, more than about 20,000 active troops, at most.

Who cares what Ben Wallace says, anyway? His military service consisted of 7 years in the Scots Guards (1991-1998), during which he attained the modest rank of captain. His subsequent pronouncements have been mostly idiotic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wallace_(politician).

Incidentally, we need not take his decision to stand down as MP at the next general election (presumably in 2024) as having been prompted by anything based on principle.

Wallace’s Commons seat, Wyre and Preston North, is set to be abolished via boundary changes, so were Wallace to wish to stay in the Commons, he would have to find another seat quite soon, almost impossible in view of the expected Conservative Party mass wipeout at the (2024?) general election.

I suppose that Wallace will now be looking for some well-paid business sinecure, combined with a nice £350-taxfree-per-day House of Lords peerage in Sunak’s resignation honours list.

That’s 282 mph…

The Zelensky cabal counting their chickens before they are hatched.

No reaction so far from the usual Western “human rights” parasites about the plan to expel 800,000 Russians from their homes in Crimea, something akin to the deportations carried out by Stalin or (to a far lesser extent) Hitler.

In fact, the Kiev regime is engaged in “pie-in-the-sky” politics. Putin and the Russian Government (and people) will never allow the Kiev regime to annex Crimea again. If there were any real danger of that, the Russian forces would use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield and, if that were not enough to stop any annexation, a strategic nuclear missile or two on Kiev itself. In that event, “goodbye Zelensky” or at least his corrupt and brutal government.

A Spy Among Friends

Watched about 10 mins of the new TV spy drama, A Spy Among Friends. Had I known that it was about Philby, I should probably not have bothered. I do not have a lot of time for the so-called “master spy” whose reputation was and still is the most inflated since Mata Hari. No need to go into all that now, though.

I am rather impatient with films and TV dramas. If they bore or irritate me in the first 10-15 mins, I rarely watch on. In this case, there were invented scenes, which may have been inevitable, but some of them lacked any credibility. For example, there was a West Indian involved in the first few minutes, highly unlikely in 1963. Also, the show pushed, in those opening minutes, the buttons of all the known cliches about Philby— cricket, booze, womanizing etc.

It is true that Philby, had he become Chief of SIS, would have been a “master spy” or “legendary agent” (“legendary” in more ways than one). Not because (or primarily because) he would have been able to give the KGB secrets at all levels, but mainly because he would have been in a position to cripple SIS strategically, structurally; even more important, he would also have been in a position to deliberately mis-advise the Prime Minister and other ministers, and to point them in the wrong direction strategically.

It never happened. Philby was found by General Kalugin to be living in a permanently intoxicated state in his apartment in Gorky Street (now once again Tverskaya Street). Kalugin, and Philby’s last wife, Rufina, sobered him up somewhat, and Kalugin gave him mentoring work to do.

I myself was slightly acquainted in the early 1990s with a former KGB officer (turned businessman) called “Ed” (Edvard, from the Baltic regions or pribaltika), who told me at lunch in Hall at Lincoln’s Inn in 1994 (I think) that he had once heard a lecture by Philby at the Lubyanka. That lecture must have been late 1970s, or maybe early 1980s.

Though Philby claimed publicly in January 1988 that he did not regret his decisions and that he missed nothing about England except some friends, Colman’s mustard and Lea & PerrinsWorcestershire sauce,[84] his wife Rufina Ivanovna Pukhova later described Philby as “disappointed in many ways” by what he found in Moscow. “He saw people suffering too much,” but he consoled himself by arguing that “the ideals were right but the way they were carried out was wrong. The fault lay with the people in charge.”[85] Pukhova said, “he was struck by disappointment, brought to tears. He said, ‘Why do old people live so badly here? After all, they won the war.'”[86] Philby drank heavily and suffered from loneliness and depression; according to Rufina, he had attempted suicide by slashing his wrists some time in the 1960s.”

[Wikipedia]

Assuming that the above is accurate, Philby’s only very superficial understanding of politics, geopolitics, history, and economics is almost too obvious.

Even were A Spy Among Friends better than my first impressions, I would probably not bother with it, because at root, Philby just does not much interest me.

Could it be because many MPs are not too different from Osborne in being soulless? As to the general public, I do not think that Osborne (a part-Jew whose brother and father are both sexually deviant) ever was popular with most British people when he was Chancellor.

Don’t forget those who should be deported to Israel.

It is now clear that the “British” Government (which contains few real Brits) is working, and quite deliberately, against the interests of the British people.

Ah, Jeremy Vine, the “Covid” “vaccine” partisan and sometime pro-police-state drone (during the “Covid” craziness), who is also pro-EU, pro-mass immigration, and a fanatical pro-cycling and anti-car troublemaker.

Still, I shall be sorry to see him go from (was BBC, now Channel 5) Eggheads (if reports are accurate). He presents that rather well.

Makes a million a year. Not bad for someone who, after an expensive private education, left Durham University with only a 2:2 in English.

I once had a girlfriend who opined that Durham University was where people study if they are from wealthy families but cannot get into Oxford or Cambridge. That was in relation to a barrister who was a friend of a couple she knew, someone with a very unusual name— something like “Mauleverer”.

In fact, I met said barrister when we attended a dinner party (not my favourite activity) in Blackheath in, I think, 1987 or thereabouts, at which that barrister was also a guest. I was a belated Bar School student at the time (though about 31). The barrister in question must have been 40-something, but in my opinion looked 50+.

The hostess was a charming blonde lady of Polish origins (but I think born in the UK), whose familiar name I forget and was something like Dushka (but not that). Her husband was a friendly chap who seemed amused by that barrister’s seemingly dog-like devotion to the hostess.

If truth be known, the barrister in question struck me as a bit of a nitwit, and I was told that the hostess later said to my girlfriend that I had given more of an impression of being a senior barrister than the said real senior barrister, despite my being ten years younger and a mere Bar student.

Well, perhaps my view was wrong, or at least superficial, because I believe that I read that the barrister in question was then or not long afterwards a silk (QC, now of course KC) and later became a commercial arbitrator and judge (I think in Hong Kong), as well as a trustee of one or two well-known institutions. So maybe he was not a nitwit, at least not entirely. Or maybe our social system rewards people from privileged backgrounds who make the right noises. Take your choice.

Tweeter “Mido” needs to know that, without the almost endless arms, ammunition, money, medical supplies, and other aid (eg food) being channeled to the Kiev regime from the West, the war would stop in a matter of weeks, perhaps even days, and what is left of the Ukrainian state and society would simply cease to function, also in weeks or days. Even state benefits and pensions in Ukraine are now being underwritten by the NWO/ZOG states.

As for troops, the Kiev regime is already pressing into service all sorts of people hitherto exempt. Kiev is running out of cannon-fodder.

Just imagine— were Biden to drop dead, that would be the new U.S. President…

Never assume that progress, or civilization, or culture, cannot just stop, or be destroyed, or that society cannot fall into decadence, backwardness, and evil. In the UK, a gradual slide is happening right now, all around us, but most people are still blind to it.

The rest of the Civil Service did not “put out” for Osborne…

For younger or non-Brit people who do not get the above tweet:

Bad blood…

“He is the eldest of four boys. His father is Sir Peter Osborne, 17th Baronet, co-founder of the firm of fabric and wallpaper designers Osborne & Little. George Osborne is to inherit the baronetcy; he would thus become Sir George Osborne, 18th Baronet.[7] His mother is Felicity Alexandra Loxton-Peacock, the daughter of Hungarian-born Jewish[8][9] artist Clarisse Loxton-Peacock (née Fehér).[4][10]

[Wikipedia]

In May 2018, The Daily Telegraph reported that Osborne and his siblings had discovered “with delight” that their maternal grandmother Clarisse Loxton-Peacock (a Hungarian émigrée) was Jewish, and therefore that in Jewish law they are Jewish too.”

[Wikipedia]

Of course, we go by modern biological science, not 3,000-year-old ideas from a backward tribe, so for us Osborne is merely part-Jew.

Still, isn’t it a strange co-incidence? Or series of “co-incidences”: David Cameron-Levita— part-Jew; George Osborne— part-Jew; Theresa May, part-Jewish too; “Boris” Johnson also part-Jew…

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

Both Bilderberg attendees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Meeting.

You only have to look at the newspapers to see that that is so. The national ones do not carry the whole story. You see the picture better in the local newspapers (whether print or online). Even quite violent criminals with long and bad records are getting, quite often, suspended sentences, or even such leniency as conditional discharges.

As for thefts, unless the value involved is prodigious, a non-custodial sentence is the norm. Indeed, even where the record is very long and there are aggravating factors, e.g. having committed a “minor” theft (which can still be into the hundreds of pounds) during the currency of a suspended sentence, the time given is usually something like 1 or 2 months, meaning that the convict will be released in, quite likely, a couple of weeks (half of the headline sentence, minus any time spent in custody, but also administrative early release in many cases).

How long is a “long” record? In many cases, not even dozens but even hundreds of convictions, if relatively minor. For example, a shoplifting offence where the value is less than £200 carries a maximum sentence of 6 months in prison, in theory, but a more typical result is a penalty notice and fine of £80 rather than a trial, if the matter is admitted.

In fact, most smallish thefts of that sort never get to court, or even to the police (who now usually only attend stores if there has been a struggle of some sort). It is often left to the store staff to sort out (eg by expelling and banning the perpetrator). That’s when the perpetrator is caught at all.

See also: https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/magistrates-court/item/theft-general/.

If you look at local newspapers, you often see that, before a minor offender such as a shoplifter is imprisoned, the defendant will usually have been caught and convicted dozens and perhaps caught (and/or seen) by shop staff hundreds of times, and even then the sentence of imprisonment might be measured in weeks, maybe 10 weeks or similar, meaning out in about a month.

Not that I am a “hanger and flogger”, far from it, but it has become a bit of a joke.

The same is even true of offences involving violence, not uncommonly.

I noticed in the newspapers recently a trial of a gang involved in a series of high-value ATM ram-raids across the South of England. The amount taken was in the hundreds of thousands of pounds, and the damage done to shops and stolen cars (Range-Rovers etc) was even greater. Four or five were convicted at Crown Court. The leader got, I think, over 6 years, but will be released in 3 years; another pair got 3 years (so out in 18 months), and one got a non-custodial sentence.

Of course, say something online about, say, the Jewish lobby, and the police and CPS take much more interest (as the country folds…).

At the same time as the above-discussed cases, Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch) got 2.5 years (so will spend over a year in prison) for being rude about Jews etc on his Internet podcasts! The whole system is now mad. There was another recent case where someone got something like 6 years or more for supposedly having belonged to a banned organization, and also for having a copy (either in print or downloaded from the Internet) of the 1970s manual, The Anarchist’s Cookbook, which is now prohibited in the UK. Just mad.

The egregious Charlotte Proudman thinks that she has “that many” books that a few have to go on the floor. How odd. Has she never heard of bookcases? In fact, a competent workman could put up a few shelves for a trifling sum (trifling if she is as successful at the Bar as she proclaims, anyway).

A lower-cost option would be wooden shelves and a few clean bricks for every shelf. I once, very long ago, had home-made bookshelves like that. Later, I had a library (built in Victorian times), and 2,000 books.

Once again, a naive, no-doubt “bien-pensant” and Guardian-reading (probably quite comfortably-off and 60+) supporter of “Jack Monroe”, one “Margaret kennedy”, believes more or less what she wants to believe, i.e. that “Jack Monroe” sued Lee Anderson MP, even won the case, and is now suing him again.

In fact, of course, “Jack Monroe” never sued Lee Anderson, quite possibly never even intended to do so, but used the empty threat to garner helpful publicity in the msm and on Twitter etc, followed by what seems to have been a fraudulent crowdfunder, the proceeds of which “Jack Monroe” has quite plainly kept and/or spent on whatever she wants for herself. Neither is she now suing him. It’s all a scam (again), people…

That first tweet, though, is from February 2023, so maybe “Margaret”, like many others, has seen the light. As of today, “only” 396 utter mugs are each sending “Jack” between £3.50 and £44 a month, well down from the ~850 of a year ago.

Part-Jew talking head Paul Mason has apparently thrown away his absurd pseudo-socialist or anarcho-syndicalist “beliefs”, and simply become another NWO/ZOG drone. He now champions the finance-capitalist system, the banking system, and even the contrived war in Ukraine. Why he does so is uncertain. I think that maybe he sees himself as a Starmer-Labour MP, and then perhaps, not-far-down-the-line, as Chancellor, and maybe even PM. Why not? I mean, look at the deadheads of the past decade. I would not rule it out.

Look at the tweet below:

I agree, to the extent that this incompetent government has run out of road. Starmer-Labour is “popular” by default, because the misnamed “Conservatives” have given up. As for the electorate— desperate, and so clutching at straws; and if there was ever a “man of straw”, politically, it is Starmer.

I don’t think there is any way in the world for the Ukrainians to defeat the Russians. I think Europe is in serious trouble right now. In Germany, Italy, France. You see these riots. These countries have internal problems. There is no desire to send people to die in Ukraine. And the Ukrainians have no one left. Ukrainians are forcibly recruiting people to fill the ranks of their armies. Now the military is trying its best to get out of Ukraine so as not to get to the front. The Russians are apparently killing Ukrainians in 7 to 1 ratio. My son fought there and told me about the artillery. He had skirmishes with the Russians mostly at night, but he said that most of the fights were artillery during the day, and that the Russians now outnumber the NATO forces in artillery 10 to 1 . They kill at a terrifying rate.”

I happened to see the two ridiculous tweets below:

So the often-heavily-criticized Jolyon Maugham [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolyon_Maugham], a part-Jew barrister and “activist”, here supporting egregious and self-publicizing Jewish solicitor Mark Lewis, is applauded by one Charlotte Proudman, apparently a mainly academic lawyer and barrister who has attended or researched at no less than five universities in the UK and USA. I do not think that I had heard of her before today.

Ms. Proudman should read my blog posts, written several years ago about Lewis, before expressing an opinion:

So far from having been “grossly unfair“, as Ms. Proudman opines (having apparently read only a brief and one-sided scribble on the Legal Business online platform), the decision of the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority [SRA] regarding Lewis was impeccably fair and, in punishing Lewis very leniently, bent over backwards to be fair. Even his small fine was reduced from £7,500 to £2,500 because his Counsel said on his behalf that Lewis (the ludicrously so-called “top lawyer“, if you believe the tabloid Press) owned no real property, and in fact owned nothing at time of the hearing in 2018 but his clothes, a private pension worth £70 a week, and a mobility scooter.

After the SRA hearing, Lewis took off for Israel, where he now lives.

Looking at what Lewis wrote online to various people, including a Jewish teenager, I was surprised that Lewis was not struck off the roll of solicitors.

I wonder whether Ms. Proudman thinks that the decision of the Bar Disciplinary Tribunal in my case was “grossly unfair“? I doubt it, even though I was both wrongfully, and actually unlawfully, disbarred (at the instigation of a pack of politically-motivated Jews) for having merely tweeted five (5) tweets, all of which were completely true and accurate: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

i.e. “trans” persons, not “women“…

Polls of that sort are of course unscientific, and anything on Twitter more so, because of the well-known biases. All the same, it is clear that the present Government has run out of road. It is hitting as many buttons as possible to shore up at least the core Conservative-leaning vote: pledging to retain the pension Triple Lock, pledging to at least reduce net immigration (how about stopping the inward flow, and starting an outward flow?) etc, but it seems hopeless.

Actions speak louder than words. Something that the “Conservative” Party ministers and Prime Ministers of the past 13+ years seem not to understand. Mass immigration has continued unabated under Sunak and, as Chancellor, he also paused, for one year, the Triple Lock.

Ha. I like that.

Send that to Greta Nut.

This can probably only end one way, across Europe.

Many people in Germany want to get rid of those predators and scavengers, and to have a more contemporary version of the German Reich of the 1930s.

None of the System parties have anything to offer 90%+ of the real British people.

Quockerwodger“? A word I had never previously seen. What about that (((influential third party)))? What or who could that be?

Interesting gadget. Hope that the thieves who steal car keys from entrance hall tables do not find out about it, though (having said that, I doubt that many car thieves read my blog).

“Jack Monroe” is surely a busted flush. Even the utter mugs donating to her on Patreon are waking up: 396 as of today, the first time that the number has dropped below 400 (only a few days ago it was still 414). Last year, there were nearly 900 of those mugs, partly by reason of (now effectively withdrawn) endorsements by TV talking heads and cuisine “experts” Nigella Lawson and Jay Rayner (and others).

Still, 396 mugs each sending “Jack Monroe” between £3.50 and £44 monthly. As said previously, “not a bad little earner“, to use the Essex argot. Must still add up to at least a few thousand in cash. Monthly. For nothing.

If the fall continues, “Jack Monroe”, the “Bootstrap Cook”, may have to either go on the dole or whatever again (she made a whole media career out of having done that once, for a year or so, a decade or more ago). Or perhaps her affluent/wealthy family of buy-to-let parasites, who live in the same area as her, will help her out. I doubt whether she would be employable as anything. I read somewhere that she has only had a couple of jobs (for short periods, and long ago), one arranged via her father, answering the telephones at the Essex fire brigade, the other in a fish and chip shop.

Sven Longshanks

A reminder that the appeal for Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch) is still up. The aim is to raise funds both to assist him while he still sits in prison (i.e. until early/mid 2024), and also to help him resettle once released.

Until today, I was unaware that Maugham no longer practises as a barrister in chambers (he specialized in tax law). Apparently, he left his last chambers in 2020.

Look at that twit.

I have seen tweets saying that Maugham is a “grifter”, living off donations to the Good Law Project. I have no idea whether that be so, and I also note that the GLP is supported by not only individual donations but also large grants from several well-known trust funds, not least that of the rather odd Rausing people (the descendants of the man who invented Tetrapak in Sweden); they also give or have given money to the mainly Jewish “Hope not Hate” crowd.

How much Maugham pays himself (in effect) as Director of the GLP I have no idea (and the website of the GLP is silent on the subject).

I remember seeing Maugham on a “celebrity” episode of University Challenge. He stood out from the rest as combining a very-obviously huge opinion of himself with equally-huge ignorance of almost everything. Very funny.

I have no idea how well (or not) Jolyon Maugham was regarded as a tax barrister, before he launched “Woke Law Project”, but it gives pause for thought how many cases “GLP” has lost or not “won”.

As for Maugham being a KC, these days about 10% of all barristers hold letters patent as KC; it is not the accolade it once was. At one time, only a few barristers a year were made up to KC or QC; now dozens are.

“Jack Monroe” may not have ordered or asked for the above harassment to happen, but she is all the same behind it in the wider sense. She “doxxed” (revealed publicly the address of) the person involved, and she knows very well that her most fervent supporters are often those with mental health problems (as well as the very dim). In other words, she lit the blue touchpaper.

I myself have not yet read this instantly-infamous email, though I think that I can guess at least a little of what is in it.

Incidentally, Osborne is yet another part-Jew.

So many people assume that because one enemy of the people has “Conservative” on the label, and another “Labour“, that they are not both part of the System together, or are somehow “opposed”. Only superficially.

Exactly. Give a poor man £1 and he will almost certainly spend it, and have to spend it. Give £1 to a rich man and he will either bank it or buy a hedging asset (eg over-valued real property) with it.

Will such places one day be resettled, or will they stand forever as ruined testament to the horrors of war? I wonder.

Where is that? Chatham House, I think.

That lunatic, Ellwood, will not be happy until this country is a heap of blackened, radioactive ash. Incidentally, he is a Reserve colonel of the 77th Brigade psychological warfare unit.

Ellwood himself is so brave that he could not even admit to his neighbours that he had run over their cat while driving too fast and carelessly. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11007353/Village-fury-Tory-MP-Tobias-Ellwood-runs-1-000-cat-drives-away.html.

Ellwood may be part-Jew; just a hunch, and I may be wrong.

Funny, really. The remnants of the British Army apparently gearing up for a war with Russia; meanwhile, the UK is being invaded (“legally” or “illegally”) by about a million migrant-invaders every year. Soon there will be nothing much (for whatever is left of the Army, Royal Navy, and RAF) to defend…

The Jew Zelensky knows that his time is limited in terms of bringing NATO directly into war with Russia. The Western populations are tiring of “Ukraine” as a trendy cause, and Western governments are tiring of sending almost endless amounts of money, arms, and ammunition to the Kiev regime, especially now that the much-trumpeted counter-offensive has almost if not actually stalled.

Zelensky and his corrupt and brutal cabal have only one real chance— to bring NATO into the war directly on the “Ukrainian” (Kiev regime) side. That therefore is their aim. Method? Perhaps to attack the Zaporozhye nuclear plant, blame that on Russia, and hope that NATO then either declares war on Russia (unlikely) or starts to fight without declaration of war (more likely).

We could well be looking at either full-scale nuclear war not far down the line, or at least full-scale conventional war in Europe alone, which might or might not later trigger a strategic nuclear exchange involving the USA.

Americans should think carefully before firing on Russia, or helping Western European states to do so. The USA may have several times the nuclear-destructive power of Russia overall, but if the top 50 cities of the USA were hit and/or destroyed by nuclear missiles, that means the end of American power (and society) for a century or more.

Yes, the USA might destroy as many or more Russian cities, but the USA would still be a chaotic mess of destroyed cities, violent social disorder, and tens of millions —perhaps hundreds of millions— of dead and dying. Think very very carefully before bringing such consequences on yourselves and others.

Thought

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 have blogged for the past year or more that the best idea is for Russia to take the areas of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and for some Ukrainian successor to the Zelensky regime to control the larger area west of the Dnieper, and centred on Lvov. That would leave aside the Kiev area (which is on both sides of the Dnieper), Crimea, and the Black Sea littoral centred on Odessa.

Crimea was always Russian, with a mainly (now almost entirely) Russian population. Kiev should probably have some kind of special status, and Odessa either the same or a degree of autonomy, with Russia controlling the Black Sea coast to a depth of about 50-100 miles.

“Boris” Johnson and the Lebedev family

Saw a recording of a documentary (I think Channel 4) about “Boris”-idiot and the Lebedev father and son (with the old KGB, its successor-agencies, and British SIS and MI5, as spear-carriers).

The whole thing is rather odd, and there are certainly questions to be answered, but I cannot see Johnson as a Russian agent, not as such. For one thing, he is at root completely unideological; any such connection would be money-based or based upon getting help to push “Boris” upward (he was Foreign Secretary at the time he visited one of the Italian castles owned by the Lebedevs).

At the time, as now, the Lebedevs controlled msm outlets such as the Independent and Evening Standard.

My tentative conclusion at the end was that, possibly/probably what happened was that the younger Lebedev was offered a peerage for straight cash to “Boris”, paid somewhere offshore, protected by layers of (perhaps) offshore trusts and companies, such as Panamanian trusts and/or numbered bank accounts. A personal deal, nothing to do with the old KGB, or its SVR successor, though the details would no doubt be of interest to the latter, and to the Kremlin.

I concede that I have no evidence at all with which to back the above speculation. Pure speculation and hunch, backed only by the facts as known. Why did Johnson later nominate Lebedev junior for a peerage? Against Security Service and other advice, too.

Of course, at the time Johnson visited the Lebedevs in Italy, he was Foreign Secretary, not Prime Minister, so could not have nominated anyone for a peerage, but his unmerited likely elevation to No.10 was a good each-way bet at the time, and anyway no money need to have been paid unless and until.

If it happened, how much money? Name any figure north of £10M. £20M is good, £100M even better.

“Boris’s” pension.

Nuclear war visualization

I post that despite it having been posted first by a Kiev-regime supporter, because we should take even the possibility seriously, and stop stoking the fires of the war. Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl— stop sending arms and ammunition, and money, to the Kiev regime.

Those with real power and influence in the West must stop the slide to nuclear war, before it is too late.

Interesting, but only a form of real social nationalism can save Britain now.

When the time comes, measures will have to be taken. Let’s leave it there, for now.
