Not that I ever “supported” Corbyn anyway, but there is no doubt that the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and other Zionist-Jew orgs and individuals conspired to remove Corbyn from the Labour Party leadership.

The silly thing is that Corbyn was not what I would call “anti-Semitic” anyway.

As for Diane Abbott, obviously I have no time for her on any basis.

Yes, we live (whether in UK or USA or EU) in a Western society with various rights and mostly fair-seeming laws etc…on the surface. Excavate a little, though, and you come to a very different layer, as Julian Assange discovered.

Penny Mordaunt is yet another of those MPs who have no intellectual or —crucially— financial independence, which means that she is totally dependent on the favour of the System.

As Marx predicted.

AI and robotics will finish the process. Untold millions of British and other workers will fall into unemployment and poverty, because their labour will not be required, having been largely replaced by ever more sophisticated machines. Without pay, and dependent on State benefits, they will be unable to buy the luxury, or even basic, products of the AI/robotics economy.

In those circumstances, “basic income” schemes will be brought in (we already see a crippled version of that with the UK’s “Universal Credit”).

In the end, in the title of the David Icke book, there may be a”robot’s rebellion” by the human beings thrown on the scrapheap, unless the people are too drugged by the opiates of the age, i.e. televized football, pop music, “celebrity” nonsense etc.

What is required is not 1930s National Socialism, as such, but a form of social nationalism which honours 1930s National Socialism and contains within it the essence of National Socialism.

In short, and in the words of the Old Testament, we “honour our father and our mother”…

Britain’s £3.2 billion aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales has been reduced to acting as a scrap-yard. Essential pieces of equipment are being ripped out of the stricken warship, a move that raises questions over its long-term future.

The UK’s second carrier has been in dry dock since breaking down off Portsmouth in August 2022.

Now Navy top brass have begun stripping the carrier – a process known as ‘cannibalisation’ – which will render HMS Prince of Wales inoperable for much longer. Lift chains, which allow fighter jets to be raised from below deck, electrical systems and sections of the ship’s gas turbines have been taken out.

[Daily Mail]

So will the few functioning ships of the Royal Navy now be tasked to fight Russia? Or China? Both? Or neither?

The UK armed forces have become a bad joke. They cannot even protect our own borders from migration-invasion by untermenschen.

Better not rename HMS Prince of Wales as the HMS Charles III. If it were to break down again, people might start to see parallels with the Monarchy…

So, those deserted streets. Are they cleared as a security measure, or has a large part of the civilian population of Kiev fled?

I have never expected much from Starmer. For one thing, he is a puppet and mouthpiece of the Jewish/Zionist lobby, even as compared to other System politicians. Also, he is as dull as ditchwater.

Beyond that, I have noticed (and have long blogged) that Starmer’s general attitude to the past 13 years of “Conservative” misgovernment has been to say, in effect, “we support workhouses, but they should be run more efficiently“.

Starmer is not only not a “socialist” in any meaningful way, but not even much of a social-democrat. A different label from the Conservative Party, but little else substantially different.

In fact, looking at how Starmer vacillates, fails to make up his mind (even as to what is “a woman”!), and tries to evade difficult moral choices, while mouthing “me too!” on various issues, I can see what a rotten Prime Minister he would make, just as I saw —years before most people— what a rotten PM “Boris”-idiot would make.

As time goes by, my view against Starmer becomes less and less favourable, not that it was actually ever favourable.

Now that April ‘s there,
And whoever wakes in England

That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough

I suppose that events such as the Hay Festival are planned months ahead. The promotional literature is printed, contracts are offered etc. The mass of the msm and public have only begun to wake up to the fakery and lies around “Jack Monroe” since late last year.

All the same, it does not say much for the Hay Festival organizers’ nous.

Does the above mean that “Jack Monroe” is getting thousands of pounds to appear? I do not know.

I know Hay-on-Wye very well, and have been there many times, starting in the 1970s, but have never been there when the Festival (I always call it the Hay Literary Festival; maybe it has changed its name) has been on.

Yet the hard core of 460 utter mugs is still there, sending “Jack Monroe” thousands of pounds monthly via Patreon, despite all the evidence that she is a fraud, or near-fraud etc.

Peak “woke”? A UK-resident Nigerian “grifter” travels to New York City in order to have a photo taken of himself trying to insult a building. Meanwhile, New York yawns and moves on; in fact, does not even notice “Femi”.

I remember well my days in New York (intermittently from 1989-1993). You have to be a lot more mad (in either sense) than “Femi” even to be momentarily noticed. Look at the passers-by in that photo. Not even bothering to look round at him.

Still, it enables “Femi” to keep pretending that he is some sort of political and social commentator, rather than an unemployed and possibly unemployable “grifter”, without any influence whatever.

Now, a leaked trove of US intelligence documents has given us the clearest answer to date. It is not good news for Kyiv, and it could be about to get a whole lot worse.

Overall, Russia has lost more men and more firepower than the Ukrainians, the documents show, but its losses are nowhere near as devastating as many in the West had been led to believe – with less than two Russian casualties for every one Ukrainian.

ammunition for Ukraine’s Soviet-era air defences, which make up 90 per cent of its anti-air defences when you take low-altitude weapons like Stingers out of the equation, is perilously low.

Rockets for its BUK launchers were due to run out on March 31, while its S-300 systems only had enough to last until early May.

If those rockets do run out, the documents warn Ukraine will not only struggle to protect its cities but also its troops as it masses them for the expected counter-attack.

With Western stocks of ammunition and armour all-but exhausted, it is unlikely Ukraine’s allies will be able to build another army any time soon – added to which, the death toll may mean President Zelensky is running low on troops.

Police investigating an alleged hate crime over the display of golliwogs in an Essex pub are to examine online messages by the pub’s landlord in which he apparently joked about Mississippi lynchings alongside an image of the racist dolls.

Essex police confiscated the golliwogs last week after receiving a complaint about an alleged crime.

The force has now confirmed that detectives conducting the investigation are aware of Ryley’s Facebook posts. It is understood the posts are being reviewed as part of the investigation.

Earlier this week, a source close to Suella Braverman suggested Essex police had been reprimanded by the home secretary. The police force denied this.

Sunder Katwala, the director of the integration thinktank British Future, said: “It is important that police can do their job. These Facebook posts are important…”

[Guardian]

Are there actually any British people in or around this absurd misgovernment of Indian money-juggler Rishi Sunak?

Apart from that aspect, it must be comforting to the people of Essex that the Essex Police have time to waste on “investigations” about golliwogs, arising from complaints by troublemaking organizations. After all, it is not as if Essex has any real crime occurring within its boundaries…

If you wish to destroy capitalism, first destroy its currency” [Lenin (?)—possibly apocryphal, though quoted in altered form by Keynes].

Actually, Lenin was not always mistaken. His words, “Capitalism is commodity production at its highest stage of development, when labor-power itself becomes a commodity“, reflect a form of reality.

Rudolf Steiner said that, in the 4th Post-Atlantean Age and culture, the predominant form of work or labour was slavery; in the 5th Post-Atlantean Age (which includes the present time), the predominant form is labour or work as commodity, something to be bought and sold, but in the 6th Post-Atlantean Age, work will be, predominantly, “free gift“.

The increasing sclerosis of the Western world.

In fact, the above ages relate to the 1776 Declaration of Independence. Washington was 44 at the time, though lived until the age of 67.

Aaron Burr was 20 in 1776, but 45 by the time he became vice-President (1805).

The 18thC was a time of young men rising suddenly to high position, as was the case with Napoleon, who became First Consul at the age of 30 (1799) and Emperor at the age of 35 (1804), having already achieved high rank (Lt.Col at 23, and Brigadier-general at 24).

In the Second World War, young men were able, if they had luck, Fate, and maybe a good start, to rise rapidly, even if they were not always the brightest: Colonel Stirling, the SAS founder, for a start. He was commissioned in 1940, yet left the Army in 1945 as Lt.Col.

Enoch Powell, later famous as politician, enlisted voluntarily as a private soldier in 1939, was commissioned in 1940, and ended the war in 1945 as a brigadier.

Those were exceptional times and exceptional people too— Enoch Powell in terms of intellect and willpower, Stirling in terms of daring, courage, and unconventionality. Stirling in particular would not have gone beyond major, if that, in more peaceful years, certainly not in 5 years of service.

Now, we see that, except for pop singers, hardly anyone comes to real prominence below the age of 30, or even 50. One can think of the catspaws of the transnational System, perhaps, the likes of Greta Nut, or Malala Yousafzai. There are occasional unexpectedly young MPs here and there, such as the fairly idiotic young woman who was 20 when elected in 2015 to Parliament in the SNP interest.

They, however, are not truly prominent. A couple of media freaks, arguably; a minor MP from a minor political party.

The very structure of society and its occupations now militates against early prominence. The pace of promotion for almost everyone is incremental rather than sudden.

The population of society is becoming older. That is to say, the main population, the white population. The UK non-white population grows steadily younger (and larger).

There is also to be taken into account the increasing repression of freedom of expression in the UK and some other countries. Enoch Powell, as a captain in the Intelligence Corps, was arrested briefly (as suspected spy) when singing the Horst Wessel Lied. In wartime England! Nothing untoward happened, and he was promoted to major not long afterwards.

Imagine that today! Impossible. The young officer (Powell was about 29) would probably, at very least, kiss goodbye to his Army career.

That “chilling effect” on freedom is everywhere now, the product of a general fear of sticking the neck out. Behind it? Partly the “political correctness” and/or “woke” element, partly the Jew-Zionist lobby and its constant conspiracy to repress the free speech that used to be one of England’s most treasured possessions.

Out of the loop

I was once,a decade ago, accused by a C. of E. vicar on Twitter of being “a bit out of the cultural loop“. Maybe. I was certainly puzzled to see today on Twitter that “Martial” was trending.

I thought, certainly not the ancient Roman poet [Marcus Valerius Martialis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial], but what else? Something military?

It has been a long time since I was in the Kremlin (I paid my rouble or two); 1993. On my last visit to Moscow, in 2007, I was too busy talking with boring people to sightsee, though I did walk up to GUM, off Red Square, but GUM, like much of Moscow, had changed out of all recognition.

There has always been a big difference between Moscow and the provinces. Indeed, I was told in the 1980s that if you went even 5 or 10 miles outside Leningrad, as it then was, you could find villages where the houses, or some of the houses, were without running water. They all had electricity, though. After all, Lenin himself had defined socialism as “Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country“.

As to who or what groups are affected by Western sanctions against Russia, I would think (I concede that I have not studied it, and I now have no contacts in Russia) that the effect of the sanctions has been to deprive the most wealthy Russians of opportunities to enjoy themselves in Western capitals and large cities, and resorts. The Russian post-Soviet middle class may have been affected in terms of holidays and career opportunities. I have always been sceptical as to whether the vast mass of Russians is affected at all. They buy domestic food, which is plentiful, domestic vodka and beer (and wine, including Crimean), and do not travel overseas anyway.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/apr/06/benefit-sanctions-slow-peoples-progress-into-work-says-report-therese-coffey-suppressed

Benefit sanctions slow down claimants’ progress into work and are likely to force them into taking lower-paying jobs that leave them hundreds of pounds a year worse off, according to an internal report that the government tried to suppress.

The findings of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) report echo a series of independent studies showing sanctions – in effect fines amounting to hundreds of pounds imposed on claimants for supposed infringements of benefit rules – are ineffective as a way of getting people into jobs or to work more hours.

The report is embarrassing for the government, which has aggressively promoted sanctions as part of its plans to force claimants to take a job or work more hours. Completed in August 2020, its release was blocked by the then work and pensions secretary, Thérèse Coffey, on the grounds it was “not in the public interest”.

Experts said it was shocking that the government had clear evidence of the negative effects of sanctions for more than two years and had actively sought to keep the findings under wraps while overseeing a huge rise in the numbers of sanctions on universal credit claimants.

Memories of long-ago triggered

I happened to see the 2008 article below:

In 1989, when the Soviet crew of the Whitbread Round-the-World Race contender, Fazisi, were in the yachting hub of Hamble (Hampshire), I was also there for a couple of days. I was, with my then girlfriend, an Anglo-Russian (the Russian part being from pre-revolutionary White Russian origins), visiting my parents, who lived in Hamble at that time. In fact, they lived in a small private road, Crowsport, built upon in the 1920s, and only a stone’s throw from the marina where the Soviet yacht was being made ready. You could see the tops of the masts of the yachts in the marina from their house.

Having heard about the Soviet yacht (this was about 2 years before the official end of the Soviet Union in 1991), we decided to walk down to see the yacht and maybe say hello to its crew.

The yacht was there, crew aboard, and we started talking to one of the sailors, a handsome blond giant who was very taken with my girlfriend and, in a polite way, said at the end that we (it sounded more like she —not sure that I was included!) would be welcome to visit any time (she didn’t, though).

The crew spoke Russian language only, apparently.

I remember that the blond sailor said that he was from “Novgorod by Moscow“, more or less a suburb, to distinguish it from the large and historic town halfway between Moscow and the then Leningrad.

We were briefly introduced to the captain, who was carrying a rope, and who seemed stressed. He was going ashore, presumably to the marina office or repair sheds. He nodded to us, maybe shook hands (I do not recall), and trudged away.

The article above, written in 2008, mentions “tragedy” during the race, but does not mention the fact that the captain of the Fazisi committed suicide on the journey round the world, hanging himself in a wood in Uruguay: see https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-10-13-sp-245-story.html.

In the end, the Fazisi, which had been delivered to Heathrow in one main piece (minus masts) in an Aeroflot cargo plane, the largest in the world, then on a road transporter, did not win the ocean race but still put in a creditable performance, including a one-day run of 386 miles which may have been a world record for a monohull.

That was a more hopeful time for Russia and the world. Sovietism had collapsed in all but name, all the chatter was about Russia becoming partner to the West, rather than enemy, and no-one was thinking about nuclear war any more.

This was before the horde of Western carpetbaggers hit Russia in the 1990s, and before the pack of Jew “oligarchs” got their claws into Russia’s money and natural resources during the Yeltsin years.

It was also before it became publicly known, in the 1990s, that the USA had a “secret” game plan to keep Russia down, and the USA as “world’s only superpower”.

Another, and even less-likely, scenario in 1989 was that Ukraine would break away from Russia, and then much later be at war with it. The captain of the Fazisi was himself of Ukrainian origin, judging by his name (Gryshenko).

It all seems a long time ago now.

Australian aboriginals are very odd. I don’t know why so many people (in the msm, that is…) lionize them.

For once, I can agree with at least some of what Owen Jones has written. Not his pro-“diversity”, pro-immigration stuff, though. Those and other factors have to be included in the reasons why western societies are decaying, declining, and not unlikely to collapse.

Musicians” seems to be the self-designation of Wagner Group contract soldiers, as I noted recently on the blog. Presumably a reference to Richard Wagner.

How shallow. Immigration is a key factor in dragging down wages, and overwhelming the NHS and other services. It is not a discrete or a side issue unconnected to the others.

You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all the people all of the time“… [Abraham Lincoln].

As a voter, you can vote for the misnamed “Conservative” Party, which at times has talked a semi-good game on immigration but done little or nothing to fulfil the big talk talked, or you can vote equally-misnamed “Labour”, which does not even bother to pretend that it would slow (let alone stop, or reverse) mass immigration, but weasels about “managing” it better, meaning automatically allowing most applicants for asylum or visas of various kinds to enter the UK.

They call it “democracy”…

A very shocking case, and unusual in the ethnic background of the defendants. Still, it would not be right to turn a blind eye just because most of the defendants appear to have been white.

Not quite the usual fact matrix as in the Asian/Pakistani cases, in fact. As bad, though.

A poem by Rudyard Kipling

The Stranger

The Stranger within my gate.

He may be true or kind,

But he does not talk my talk –

I cannot feel his mind.

I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,

But not the soul behind.

The men of my own stock

They may do ill or well,

But they tell the lies I am wonted to,

They are used to the lies I tell.

And we do not need interpreters

When we go to buy and sell.

The Stranger within my gates,

He may be evil or good,

But I cannot tell what powers control –

What reasons sway his mood;

Nor when the Gods of his far-off land

Shall repossess his blood.

The men of my own stock,

Bitter bad they may be,

But, at least, they hear the things I hear,

And see the things I see;

And whatever I think of them and their likes

They think of the likes of me.

This was my father’s belief

And this is also mine:

Let the corn be all one sheaf –

And the grapes be all one vine,

Ere our children’s teeth are set on edge

by bitter bread and wine.

[Rudyard Kipling, 1908]

Not just “Tommy Robinson”. Nick Griffin and the BNP were leading on this for years, but (quelle surprise) were demonized by “the usual suspects”. Even now, Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer says that “more whites than Pakistanis and other Asians are paedophiles“.

Well, Starmer is not telling the whole truth.

Even now, the white European population of England (not UK) is about 81%, and the Asian population “only” 10%. In other words, in proportion to population, the incidence of underage molestation is far higher among the Asian (mainly Pakistani) population.

There is another point. “Grooming” gangs (to use the vulgar usage now part of the law) are almost entirely a South Asian and mostly Pakistani-origin phenomenon in the UK. The white European offenders are mostly lone wolves, not part of organized packs. In other words, the phenomena are entirely different in type.

Incidentally, all Starmer’s recent (and not so recent) pronouncements show what a bloody awful Prime Minister he would —and almost certainly will— be, but after 13 years of a pseudo-“Conservative” “shitshow” (in the elegant word of Johnny Mercer MP), it is of course hard to argue that he would be much worse than the present idiot, the Indian money-juggler Sunak, or his four predecessors in the period 2010-2023.

In relation to the above, I have just seen this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_England#Ethnicity.

In 1981, 95.4% of the population of England was described as “white”; in 2021, only 81%. Now? Probably well below 80%. A stunning collapse in only 40 years.

(and that is even, and absurdly, counting non-whites such as “Roma” gypsies as “white”: see that Wikipedia page).

2066? Make that 2050, or even 2040.

Looks like “Sven Longshanks” was slightly unlucky not to have had a jury unable to come to a verdict on those 10 counts. Still, there it is.

See: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-65142942.

Looking back over the past few years, it is clear that social-national commentators have faced a wave of State repression, instigated mainly by Jewish pressure groups and lobbying organizations, though carried on to prosecution mainly via the police and CPS.

As regular readers of this blog will know, I myself have been targeted, though mainly unsuccessfully to date, and for nearly a decade now: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Tip of the iceberg.

It is clear to me, though, that the brunt of the repression has been borne by those operating podcast “radio” stations, YouTube channels etc: Sven Longshanks, Alison Chabloz, and others. The System fears those with large potential audiences.

Some Hutchinson residents are angry“, says the talking head. Yes, I can just imagine who or at least what “they” might be…(((you know who))).

There are few if any white “grooming gangs”; there never were. As noted above in this blog, most white sex offenders act alone. There may be the odd exception here or there. The Moors Murderers were not a “grooming gang” but merely two evil and/or crazed lunatics.

In the end, there will be a war across the Western world. Not solely a race war, but also a culture war and/or ideology-war and/or a living standards or lifestyle war. We are just now seeing and hearing the opening shots, mostly still metaphorical.

“Moral Alignment” test

Saw this: https://www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignment/test.php.

My result:

You are 55.8% good, 18.3% chaotic, making you neutral good.

Not quite a rousing vote of approbation, but not as harshly marked as my ideological enemies would prefer.

Neutral Good

People who are Neutral Good are guided by their conscience and typically act altruistically, with only secondary regard for whether their actions are lawful or in line with cultural expectations or traditions. Neutral Good individuals have no problems with what is lawful as such, and nor are they rebels by nature, but they believe in furthering kindness and good deeds through whatever means seem necessary to them. If fostering good means supporting an organized society, then that is what must be done. If good can only come about through the overthrow of the existing social order, then so be it. For many who are Neutral Good, insistence on either lawfulness or rebellion is seen as detriments to or distractions from the greater goal of promoting true kindness in the world.” [https://www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignment/test.php].

Fair enough…

I have seen tests like that before, though not that exact one. I have posted a few on the blog, though a few years ago.

Amusing. I did one years ago comparing the user to characters from Harry Potter, something with which I am only a little familiar. I had to look up the details of the character whom, it transpired, was apparently most similar to me, one “Lucius Malfoy”: “Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater, head of a wealthy pure-blood wizarding family.” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Eater].

At first, I was thinking “April Fool” about that Telegraph report, but apparently not so (published on 29 April).

More seriously, I know what I would do with the so-called “hate crime experts”, but by reason of the ever-increasing repression on freedom of expression in the UK, cannot express it here. You, readers of this blog, will just have to read between the lines, as in every police state.

Britain— a banana republic minus the bananas and the republic.

Yesterday, I noted on the blog how the Patreon donor mugs (each sending between £3.50 and £44 a month to “Jack Monroe”), once numbered well over 800, fell back to about 600 late last year, then (yesterday) to 460. Today— 458. It seems that even some of those utter mugs are waking up, slowly.

Unreality is everywhere now. Not just the “trans” nonsense but also the fiction that black Africans were prominent in ancient Rome, Tudor England, and even created the ancient Egyptian culture (which we know is rubbish by reason of DNA, apart from anything else). Then there is, or recently has been, the “Covid” “panicdemic” and/or “scamdemic”. What else? The British Empire as something almost entirely evil, the Second World War as “good triumphs over evil” etc, Hitler as both mad and bad (with a little bit of sad, too), and of course the (literally) fabled “gas chambers” narrative.

The above list is merely a part of what has been happening in the Western public forum generally.

The “karma of untruthfulness” can be cancer, and in this case may result in a form of progressive societal cancer, as society becomes ever-more diseased.
