Diary Blog, 29 October 2021, with a few thoughts on Israel, Iran, and Armistice Day

A salutary warning (in general)

Iran

Since 1989 (the first year of the present 33-year cycle), the transnational conspiracy often called the New World Order or “NWO” (internationally), and Zionist Occupation Government or “ZOG” in terms of the domestic politics of various countries, has gradually disempowered the Arabs and other Muslims, while strengthening the hand of the Israeli state and (to use an old term) “World Jewry”.

Indeed, the very public proclamation of the New World Order, in early 1990, in a speech by President Bush (senior), was the prelude to the first war against Iraq, more than a decade before his son, George W. Bush, continued the assault by invading Iraq itself. The 2001 attack on the World Trade Center in Manhattan was the casus belli for war with Iraq, despite Iraq (and Iran) having apparently known nothing of it.

Israel’s main enemies in geopolitical terms, meaning Iraq, Syria, Egypt, were gradually destabilized and removed from the board, from 1989 to 2021, thus leaving Israel pre-eminent in the region.

Smaller and generally anti-Israel states were dealt with in more or less the same way: Libya, Tunisia, Yemen.

That leaves Iran as the only obstacle to Israel’s regional supremacy. Iran’s ancient history and large (and —overall— not-badly-educated) population, its oil, its industrial capacity, all make Iran a target for Israel and “World Jewry”.

It cannot be long before Israel attacks Iran with tacit or overt US support. Suitable excuses will no doubt be produced, anything from Iran’s nuclear programme to cartoons mocking the so-called “holocaust” farrago.

Once Iran is attacked and reduced (in strategic areas) to rubble, there will be a campaign to “overthrow the regime” (as in Iraq, Syria, Ukraine etc), and maybe foment a civil war.

The result, if the Israeli, American, and other Jews are successful, will be (in effect) a Greater Israel. The venal Gulf Arabs have already surrendered to Israel and its wider Jewish diaspora. Diplomatic relations, and airline flights, between Dubai and Israel, Bahrain and Israel.

No surprise to me. The Gulf Arabs worship the “Money Power”, and have little other (culture, identity, even religion) to oppose such worship. Saudi Arabia has made no public statement, but is on the same page.

Israel does not have to immediately plant its flag of conquest over the capitals of the region. Slow, gradual annexation by commerce and the Jewish-American cultural influence will do the job.

Can Iran do anything to stop the above-delineated process? I wonder.

That blog post by Sabrina Miller: https://web.archive.org/web/20210608011817/https:/fleajournal.com/summer-2020/rough-why-we-should-legalise-bestiality-wait-hear-me-out-its-not-as-crazy-as-you-think

Sabrina Miller is the Jewish Zionist girl student who was at least the figurehead behind the Israel-lobby campaign to have anti-Israel academic, Professor David Miller, sacked from Bristol University, a campaign which was successful (though the Professor is now taking legal action).

Sabrina Miller’s piece about bestiality betrays no understanding about the decent treatment of animals. As a Jewish individual, she quite likely supports (though I have no direct information that she does) the cruel Jewish practice of kosher (kashrut) slaughter of animals. If so, that is, again, hardly surprising.

I should add that she seems to imply, in that piece, that she herself might favour vegetarianism. If so, a positive tick as far as that goes.

There is an intensifying repression of free speech in the UK, particularly when it comes to any mention of Jews that is not laudatory, so I suppose that I must not draw too wide a set of conclusions from the above…

[Update, 15 September 2025: in the 4 years since the blog post was published, much water under the bridge. Dr. David Miller won his employment case against Bristol University, but was not reinstated. He has since become a regular presenter on Press TV (an Iranian channel broadcasting in English), and is currently being privately prosecuted (under the notorious Communications Act 2003, s.127) by the pack of malicious Jews known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”. The trial is currently set down for dates in December 2025. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Miller_(sociologist).

As for Sabrina Miller, her apparent support for Israel, “lord” Ian Austin, and for decriminalization of bestiality and bestiality pornography has not prevented her from being awarded the title of “Young Journalist of the Year” twice; neither has it stopped her from being employed by the Daily Mail. https://muckrack.com/sabrina-miller-1; https://electronicintifada.net/content/meet-sabrina-miller-student-who-waged-campus-war-israel/34176]

I have been to the Newark and New Brunswick campuses of Rutgers University a couple of times, about 30 years ago. I hope that the “professor” shown in that tweet is not typical now; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutgers_University.

Poppy Day

It is not November yet. It is true, though, that poppy-wearing is dying out.

Remembrance Day, or as my maternal grandmother [1900-1988] always called it, in the old way, Armistice Day, was a creation of the First World War and its aftermath, kept going after 1945.

There are now no British people alive who were alive during that first terrible conflict, and none who were much more than children during the second.

There is, of course, another aspect, in that the burgeoning population of blacks, browns, and those of mixed race etc have no real organic connection to England or Britain, so naturally feel no nostalgic emotional need to wear a poppy.

Ridley Road TV series

I mentioned, in a recent blog post, the BBC drama series Ridley Road [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridley_Road_(TV_series)], pointing out that (as noted by the Jewish Chronicle), it is, in conception, entirely a Jewish production, and obviously meant as — in fact, ahistorical and inaccurate— propaganda lauding some Jewish spies, thugs, and gangsters in the London of the early 1960s: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/10/18/diary-blog-18-october-2021/.

I have now seen part of the first episode, about 20 minutes. I do not usually have the patience to keep watching after a poor start.

Pretty poor; in fact worse (as entertainment) than I had expected. I may see some more at some future time, but I doubt it.

Various critics, including some Jews, have apparently not been hugely impressed by the plot, let alone the details.

I should imagine that the series will sink without trace.

“Labour”-label needs to disappear forever. So does the “Conservative” Party, but one System monster at a time. Labour first.

Greta Nut (again)

I made the mistake of switching on the car radio this afternoon. The once-interesting (long ago) PM show. 10 minutes was enough. “Covid” nonsense, “COP26” nonsense, and little else. Turns out that Greta Nut has been interviewed (again?) by Andrew Marr.

Incredible. What other poorly-educated, mentally-afflicted teenager (who has actually done nothing anyway) gets respectfully interviewed by someone who is (rightly or wrongly) a major msm current affairs bod? Why should anyone be interested in what Greta Nut thinks about US Government policy? PM presenter Evan Davis then referred to her as “Greta”. She thus joins the select few known universally by first name, such as “Boris”, “Fidel”, “Jesus” etc.

This is a farce, but of course is just part of the propaganda campaign internationally. “Greta” has no more part to play, of her own, than does a ventriloquist’s dummy.

The police are now “too busy” (in their own minds, “too important”) to deal with the real crimes that matter to most people, just as most nurses are too busy or too important to deal with basic cleanliness of hospitals, (so cleaning has been outsourced to useless private companies).

The police, infested by Common Purpose etc, now seem more interested in censoring online or other opinion, and acting as a poundland KGB.

Here is the Mattel company, with its new range of trouser-wearing, white-coated, stethoscoped ‘role model’ Barbies, frantically sucking up to the Spirit of the Age.

Not all of them are vaccine inventors like Dame Sarah. One is described as a ‘frontline worker’ who ‘joined forces with other Asian-American medics to fight racial bias in the pandemic’. Another is a psychiatrist who has ‘campaigned against systemic racism in the healthcare profession’.

And so once again we see a major corporation making its peace with the new regime. There is barely any company, institution, school, publication or church which has not done the same, or is not about to do it.

People who would have laughed at ‘loony Left’ councils 30 years ago now use language and follow rules which they once mocked when Ken Livingstone and his allies proposed them.

Those who claim to despise Jeremy Corbyn often follow the ideas he helped devise…

 You won't catch me mourning the loss of the traditional Barbie, though if it were up to me, the even more horrible Bratz dolls would be first on to any bonfire

And it is not just that they join in. They are afraid to criticise. Huge areas of opinion are now closed off from discussion, for fear of cancellation, advertising boycotts, and generally being cast into the outer darkness.

With gathering speed and completeness, a total revolution in thought and morals is taking hold of Western societies, just at the moment when they should be girding themselves against pressure to become more like China.

The zero-Covid fanatics, ready to throttle our society in pursuit of an illusion of perfect safety, have greatly benefited from this. And in the weeks to come the zealots of man-made global warming will press their dogmatic agenda and their demands that we impoverish ourselves to save the planet (demands China refuses to follow).

If all this had happened in a few weeks, while Red Guards slouched on street corners and the leaders of the old regime were dragged off to the firing squad, we’d see it for what it is. But, as long as there are enough loo-rolls in the supermarket, and the electricity keeps flowing, most people will never notice the revolution raging all around them.” [Peter Hitchens, in the Mail on Sunday].

Hitchens’ column this week is also worth reading for comment about both the ever-shrinking British naval reach, and the facemask nonsense.

GB News

I have still not watched the doomed GB News “controlled opposition” TV station. I have watched a few clips on Twitter. Today I saw another grovelling interview of a character from the malicious Jew-Zionist pressure group and fake “charity” calling itself “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. This time it was CAA “Chief Executive” Gideon Falter.

The interviewer was one Michelle Dewberry [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Dewberry], described (I think rather kindly) by Wikipedia as “businesswoman, politician, presenter, and media personality.

The “businesswoman” bit seems to be based on two small businesses started 15-20 years ago, both of which seem to have bombed, though information seems limited.

As for “politician”, that seems to be founded on her two unsuccessful attempts to be elected as MP (once as Independent, once for Brexit Party).

As interviewer, I thought her grovellingly unwilling to challenge Falter. Other impressions? Semi-coherent, biased in presentation, and actually rather dull.

I do not suppose that Michelle Dewberry will find life tough once this TV station (pretending to be a media outlet for dissidence) collapses: she has a rather wealthy boyfriend [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Jordan#Personal_life].

How long before GB News does collapse? At a guess, 6-12 months.

[Update, 7 August 2022: seems that I was premature in predicting that GB News would disappear within 12 months. It is still around, though I myself have still not seen it even once.

GB News’ most recent filed profit/loss, only up to May 2021, shows a loss of £2.7M.

Interestingly, for a TV channel with such a name, the four main people at the channel have the following nationalities: Australian, Dutch, and British/American: see https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/12859339/officers.

GB News

I have not watched GB News as such, but today saw an interview via Twitter. The interviewee was the sinister Jew-Zionist, Stephen Silverman, “Head of Investigations and Enforcement” at the fake “charity” known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.

The presenters and supposed “interviewers” were one Liam Halligan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Halligan] and former MP and (former?) Labour Friends of Israel member, Gloria de Piero [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_De_Piero].

Silverman made false complaint against me in, inter alia, 2016/2017: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/. See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

The interview on GB News was not so much an interview, more the presenters allowing Silverman to make a long and dull statement whining about how Twitter had seen through the fake CAA “charity” and had then binned the CAA as a “partner organization” re. issues around supposed “antisemitism”.

Silverman also (as usual) promoted the idea that there should be even more repression of free speech in the UK.

At the end of the “interview”, the Halligan person thanked Silverman for coming on to the show, and expressed how welcome he was at GB News.

I suppose that the Halligan person was unaware that Silverman was (despite having hidden his identity behind fake names and multiple Twitter accounts) actually exposed in open court a few years ago as one of several connected Jewish-Zionist trolls, all connected with the CAA, and who harassed several people (mainly women) online as well as offline, e.g. by making false and malicious complaint to various police forces about people, some of whom (see my experience above) were actually asked to “voluntary” interviews with police before the matters were dropped.

As for Gloria de Piero, a typical “put a beggar on a horse and he/she rides it to death” careerist chancer, typical of Blair/Brown “Labour”.

I read, in the msm and elsewhere, that GB News is so lacking in viewers that some shows are at statistical zero in terms of audience or viewership. It seems to be another typical front for Jew-Zionism and the NWO, posing (sometimes) as a “free speech” and “conservative” TV station. It’s a fake. Bin it.

Reminder of reality

A commentator on the blog reminds me of a piece in the Daily Telegraph a decade nearly ago, which I used as the basis for an article in 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/02/04/white-flight-in-a-small-country/.

Crazed Britain

A woman who shielded for nine months was killed on her first day out after being hit by a lorry while searching for a face mask in her handbag. Sarah Lewis was struck by the vehicle on November 16, 2020 after stepping into its blind spot while untangling a face covering from her belongings.” [Daily Telegraph] https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/07/21/woman-killed-lorry-first-day-shielding-nine-months/.

I myself have saved not only reckless pheasant and pigeons (not to mention a number of cats) from certain death on the road recently, but several equally-reckless human persons, including one old lady and one young girl, both of whom insisted on stepping in front of my car while muzzled, and also engrossed in what I took to be mobile telephones.

I have blogged about Paul Mason previously. When he writes about economics, he can be interesting, but when he writes or speaks about politics, he is ludicrous. His political viewpoint seems to be a kind of anarcho-syndicalist/Trotskyist/general “Leftist” mixture which leaves both history and good sense far behind.

Why does Mason support Jewish-lobby puppet, Keir Starmer? Well, that is an open question. Mason is part-Jew, like Owen Jones and other msm talking heads, so that may be part of it. There again, it may be that Mason thinks that “mainstream” Labour is still the only political game in town apart from the equally-misnamed Conservative Party. He may therefore imagine that he can perhaps influence Starmer-Labour, and so rescue himself from being a fringe commentator.

For all I know, Mason may even harbour ambitions to become a Labour MP and then something more, such as, in time, a major Labour Party figure. Who knows?

That may seem to be absurd, but perhaps less so than “Boris” becoming a Cabinet minister and then Prime Minister…if one political bad joke can rise high, why not another? After all, it happened not only to “Boris” but to Priti Patel, Sajid Javid, Grant Shapps, Matt Hancock etc. A similar case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanis_Varoufakis.

Never say never…

John Pilger! A “blast from the past” as people used to say. Had not heard of him for many years. 81 now, apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pilger.

The prosecutor? “Gordon Kromberg“. Every. Single. Time.

Another myth is that a scientist is, ipso facto, honest. We have seen enough fakery around the “climate change” narrative to have a different view. For example, that scientist (whose name I forget) at the UN IPCC (and University of East Anglia) who colluded with the Indian at the IPCC to falsify data, so that the public would believe the “climate change” narrative more readily.

That was about 13 years ago, about the same time as said Indian claimed that the Himalayan glaciers would cease to exist by about 2015, leading to the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Indus and other rivers running dry. Not yet, anyway.

Many will recall the Al Gore film, An Inconvenient Truth, with its claims that, inter alia, “climate change” caused the Aral Sea to dry up (no, it was caused by the mad diversion of rivers in order to support cotton production: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aral_Sea).

That is without even starting on certain “historical” untruths…scientists are not necessarily any more credible than historians, when they depend on certain “narratives” for their careers, publishing etc.

Peter Hitchens has an almost touching faith in the efficacy of writing to MPs. That is one rather big delusion (though I like much of what he writes). I do not know what might change the mind of the clowns now posing as MPs. Not letters, anyway…

and once again the police are useless, pathetically begging the unidentified perpetrator to hand himself in…

Those once-fine old English/British institutions such as the RSPB, RNLI, National Trust etc have all been taken over by the enemy, the fake communitarians of Common Purpose, “BLM” etc. The enemy thus gets well-paid while subverting both the institution in question and the general society. A general purge is needed.

The sort of rabbits that go around wearing facemasks are really the weak-minded who do what they think the mob wants. “Everybody” does it, think they. In fact, I would go so far as to say that if you see someone masked or muzzled when the law does not mandate it, that person can probably be written off as a free or independent thinker.

I was in Australia for 3 years in the late 1960s, and attended school there (Middle Harbour PS and North Sydney Boys’ High). I have come to understand that basically Anglo countries such as Australia and the UK are held back by their basic philistinism; in other words, by their prioritizing of mass spectator sport and mass TV rubbish over thinking freely.

Thus, the System can easily impose a biosecurity police state, or import millions of backward people from Africa, Asia, Caribbean, without the slightest serious challenge from the people, because what matters to the (so far) majority white population is not spirituality, philosophy, history, good government, even logic, but winning some televised sporting pleb-fest on the other side of the world.

Look at New Zealand. I do not say that Brenton Tarrant [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christchurch_mosque_shootings] did the “right thing” in 2019 (indeed, I blogged to the contrary at the time: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/03/25/the-new-zealand-attack-and-related-matters/), but he saw New Zealand’s trajectory and wanted to change it, whereas the mass of the population was and remains asleep, and led by a woman totally part of the international System [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacinda_Ardern].

These are invaders, and must be treated as such.

I’m with tweeter “@barbyonabike” as far as this goes.

Well, as I understand it (may or may not be correct), Tommy Robinson is not only insolvent but actually bankrupt [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/tommy-robinson-cocaine-donations-prison-b1787467.html], in which case the damages awarded today will not be collected.

Legal action cannot usually be taken against a bankrupt, but the issuance of proceedings for legal action in this case preceded the bankruptcy petition.

It will be recalled that I blogged prolifically about the supposed legal action (in harassment, I think) being taken a couple of years ago by Twitter twit, “antifa” cheerleader and mental case Mike Stuchbery against Tommy Robinson. It never was likely to happen, as I said from the start. Now, it cannot. A bankrupt cannot usually be sued, as noted. Also, there would be no point in suing “Tommy Robinson” now, even if it could be done.

I suppose that that one will have to be filed with Stuchbery’s other fantasy libel actions (against stray Twitter users, a number of Danes who laughed at him, and against me!). He loves the idea that he might “clean them out”…

Never mind, he can also send me (yet another— he sent a couple in the past when he forgot to take his medication) would-be intimidating comment on my blog comments page. They made me laugh (which is “the best medicine”, it is said; not that I need any).

Stuchbery, with “Resisting Hate” Twitter troll Roanna Carleton Taylor (“@witchofpeace”, aka “@antifashwitch” and now “@oilpaintwitch”) launched a GoFundMe appeal to pay for action against “Robinson”. A Pakistani one-man solicitor firm was supposedly going to issue proceedings. As I guessed would prove to be the case, from the beginning, it never happened.

I still sometimes idly wonder what Roanna Carleton Taylor, Stuchbery, and the Pakistani did with the nearly £12,000 they were given (by a total of nearly 700 “antifascist” mugs). It certainly was not spent on legal work. It seems that the Pakistani drafted only one very short and very poor “letter before action” to Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson’s real name), which letter may not even have been delivered.

Possibly yet another Twitter user with mental health problems. I do not know. The “virus” infects many people, but only a tiny number have any symptoms; only a few (an even smaller proportion) need any medical help at all. A tiny tiny number die from or “with” this virus.

My 99-y-o mother-in-law only knew she had it after having been routinely tested while in hospital for a fracture; oh, and she contracted it in hospital, where all patients were constantly masked, an indictment of both the appallingly-poor hygiene in NHS hospitals and the uselessness of facemasks; she was discharged weeks later, still without symptoms.

My 20-something Australian niece (working in London) contracted the virus last year, but only required a few paracetomol tablets and a few weeks of rest. I know of no-one else at all who has knowingly contracted “Covid-19”.

Cases” = “people with few or no symptoms, who are tested, often inaccurately, for no good reason.”

There are 65 million inhabitants in the UK, and thousands are being tested daily, so the number of fake “cases” (infections) will no doubt continue high for months or even years, thus enabling the System to continue with the various means of psychologically-controlling people, e.g. via the facemask nonsense.

Ha ha! I have been to the local hospital (not as patient) a few times in recent months. Pleasantly empty of crowds, in fact of people, with almost all activity previously seen not now happening.

As for GP surgeries, from what I have seen in the past year, the same applies.

You can just about visualize what life was like in better days, before the Portuguese left in 1975, which was when the blacks took over (after a pro-Communist government seized power via treasonous Army officers in Portugal). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Hotel_Beira

I met people in Rhodesia in 1977 who had visited Beira for holidays not so many years previously. Hard to believe, now!

FRELIMO took control of the territory after ten years of sporadic warfare, as well as Portugal’s own return to democracy after the fall of the authoritarian Estado Novo regime in the Carnation Revolution of April 1974 and the failed coup of 25 November 1975. Within a year, most of the 250,000 Portuguese in Mozambique had left—some expelled by the government of the nearly independent territory, some left the country to avoid possible reprisals from the unstable government—and Mozambique became independent from Portugal on 25 June 1975. A law had been passed on the initiative of the relatively unknown Armando Guebuza of the FRELIMO party, ordering the Portuguese to leave the country in 24 hours with only 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of luggage. Unable to salvage any of their assets, most of them returned to Portugal penniless.” [Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozambique#Independence_(1975)].

We in Europe, and in North America, have seen the “Black Lives Matter” (and similar) vandals tearing down statues and monuments, occupying the areas around them etc. How long before the majority population in the USA, or even UK, is non-white? Is it too far a stretch to imagine our whole way of life eventually going the way of the Hotel Grande? Perhaps not. It will happen unless we retake the agenda, retake the political arena, and retake the streets.

Twerp news

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/mi5-london-racism-britain-b945807.html

Handout photo of the new director general of MI5 Ken McCallum who spoke publicly for the first time on Wednesday.
[the twerp in question…]

“Toxic racism is fuelling the rise of right wing terrorism in Britain and putting the public in danger, the head of MI5 warned on Wednesday.” [Evening Standard].

Oh, really? Where is that “right wing terrorism”? I myself have not seen any report of it. I have seen newspaper reports of silly young men talking big in public bars, a few of which young men having also bought samurai swords or the like. I have seen newspaper hysteria about such young men sentenced to imprisonment for years for allegedly having joined “banned” organizations; young women too. Evidence included having Swastika designs on cushions, in one case even someone simply possessing boxer shorts with swastika motifs.

I had thought the Star Chamber court ancient history…

Most of what I have seen (in the msm) looks like a contrivance, assisted by agents-provocateurs. J. Edgar Hoover used to fabricate “cases” like that in the USA.

Perhaps MI5’s Chief Twerp should stop living in the past, in the world of spies and, indeed “terrorists”, and start waking up to the fact that this society is being destroyed not by spies, not by terrorists (even if actual), still less by social-national activists, but by mass immigration, by corruption at the top of society, by the garbage pumped out by the TV, radio and newspaper talking heads and scribblers, and by the anti-white campaign generally. Not to mention the present shambolic Government and Opposition.

Problem is, judging by public statements recently made, the Director-General of the Security Service seems to be part of the problem…

Also, why is MI5’s Chief Twerp not addressing the problem of Jews who go for military and secret operational training in Israel? After all, Zionist Jews have killed British civilians and soldiers in the past century, and their lobby in the UK is deeply embedded; it must be rooted out.

Also, why does it take a foreign news organization like Al Jazeera, or a maverick British scribbler and journalist such as Peter Oborne, to expose some of the machinations of the Jew-Zionist cabals in the UK? Where is MI5? Just letting it all happen?

Arguably the least surprising comment from that little monkey, who is or was, apparently, an Israeli intelligence operative, is re. “Boris” (Boris-idiot, now posing as Prime Minister of the UK): “Boris…Boris is good…he is solid on Israel…you know, he is an idiot, but…“. At the time of the secret filming, “Boris” had just started his disastrous tenure as Foreign Secretary.

Diary Blog, 6 June 2021, including the upcoming by-elections— Chesham and Amersham, and Batley and Spen

Belated Saturday quiz

I forgot about the i paper quiz yesterday. So here it is:

Image

Only 5/10 this week, though I still beat John Rentoul (again); he only scored 4/10. I did not know the answers to questions 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10 (could not remember what LED —exactly— means, and I hit the post on the Battle of Bannockburn, knowing that it was Edward I’s successor but not knowing who the hell that was).

The reference there is to Paul Halloran, the candidate at Batley and Spen of the “Heavy Woollen District Independents” in the 2019 General Election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batley_and_Spen_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s. He scored 12.2%, a very creditable result. I mentioned the fact in my blog post of yesterday about the upcoming Batley and Spen by-election (1 July 2021): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/06/04/the-batley-and-spen-by-election-2021/.

It seems that the said Halloran has now joined the no-chance Reclaim Party set up by the actor Laurence Fox, who now stands for free speech (except, it seems, where Jews disapprove or are mentioned). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Fox.

Halloran, Fox, and Reclaim Party have issued a statement: https://mailchi.mp/a466726a0fd3/media-statement-the-reclaim-party-and-paul-halloran?e=d4fb63896d.

https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/paul-halloran-wont-standing-batley-20751008

It is clear that Reclaim Party will never amount to anything. As far as the Batley and Spen by-election in July is concerned, the stand-aside will obviously help the Conservative candidate, but what is unknown is by how many votes. Halloran received 12.2% of the vote in 2019, true, but Fox, in the recent London Mayoral Election, only 1.9%.

I suppose that it might be surmised that Halloran, had he stood at Batley, might have garnered 5% of the by-election vote, possibly 10%, and maybe even 15%+, but the fact is that that is pure speculation. We do not know.

What we do know is that the above news is probably a blow for Labour. A few percent might decide this contest.

Chesham and Amersham by-election 2021

The Chesham and Amersham by-election is set down for 17 June 2021. It has been occasioned by the death of the sitting member, Cheryl Gillan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheryl_Gillan].

I usually abide by the maxim de mortuis nihil nisi bonum (“[say] nothing but good of the [recent] dead”) but the fact is that the recently-deceased MP was little better than a persistent and outright thief [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheryl_Gillan#Expenses] who defrauded the taxpayer out of far more than was explicitly exposed during the 2009 expenses scandal.

As to the constituency, this is rock-solid Conservative Party territory, situated at the suburban and semi-rural Northern joint termini of the Metropolitan Line.

Since the seat was created in 1974, the Conservatives have held it, at first with Ian Gilmour [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Gilmour,_Baron_Gilmour_of_Craigmillar] and then with Cheryl Gillan, who “inherited” the seat in 1992.

The lowest ebb of Conservative Party fortunes at Chesham and Amersham was 1997, but even in that year of “Labour landslide” the Conservative vote held up at 50.4%. The high-water mark was the 1992 General Election (63.3%). Even the expenses scandal did not dent Cheryl Gillan’s vote (60.4% in 2010).

Second place in elections at Chesham and Amersham has usually gone to the Liberal Democrats, but UKIP (2015, 13.7%) and Labour (2017, 20.6%) have also featured.

The LibDem vote-share fell to only 9% (and a fourth-place) in the debacle of 2015, but recovered to 13% in 2017, and to 26.3% in 2019.

As for Labour, its low point was 2010 (5.6%), and its high point 2017 (20.6%).

Eight candidates contest the by-election, the other five being Green Party, Reform Party UK, Freedom Alliance, Breakthrough Party, and Rejoin EU.

Green Party got 5.5% at Chesham and Amersham in 2019.

Reform Party UK is the rump of Brexit Party, and scored 1% in the most recent London Assembly elections.

Rejoin EU managed to get a vote of 1.1% in the 2021 London Mayoral election. Its by-election candidate is Brendan Donnelly [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Donnelly_(politician)], a one-time employee at the Foreign Office, who became a Conservative Party MEP in 1994, then left the Conservative Party, stood again in 1999 under the banner of the short-lived “Pro-Euro Conservative Party” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-Euro_Conservative_Party], failed to be re-elected, and thereafter became a serial and unsuccessful pro-EU election candidate under several flags.

Freedom Alliance is a reaction to the toytown police state created by the 2020 Coronavirus events, and is based in Huddersfield [https://freedomalliance.co.uk/], though its Chesham and Amersham by-election candidate is a former Green Party councillor who lives in High Wycombe [https://freedomalliance.co.uk/england-candidates/].

As for Breakthrough Party, it describes itself as “a democratic socialist party, led by the younger generations...” [https://breakthroughparty.org.uk/]; https://www.thecanary.co/feature/2021/04/18/a-new-political-party-wants-a-breakthrough-for-young-people/. Its by-election candidate is Carla Gregory, aged 31, a charity worker: https://www.nationalworld.com/news/politics/chesham-and-amersham-by-election-mum-of-two-standing-for-new-breakthrough-party-to-be-voice-of-unheard-3241528.

The main interest in the by-election will be that of seeing how low Labour will sink.

Well, Hitchens is sometimes worth noting, but I have to say that when I had a Twitter account (a pack of Jew-Zionists had me expelled in 2018), Hitchens blocked me mainly if not entirely because he saw that I knew more than him. My later assessment of him: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/19/peter-hitchens-and-his-views/.

Not new, of course. I wrote the following blog post over two years ago, and about a Daily Telegraph article itself written in 2012: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/02/04/white-flight-in-a-small-country/.

British foreign aid cuts

There is a case for foreign aid. It rests, in its purest form, on charity or compassion, just like social welfare, free medical care etc in the UK domestic context. In less obviously pure form, foreign aid can be regarded as an incident of “soft power” and diplomacy.

Having said that, much foreign aid is misapplied, wasted, or stolen. I could give examples from my own overseas experience.

On BBC TV News, I saw today some woman talking (from her own rather comfortable-looking home) about the recent decision to further cut foreign aid. She was one of the directors of the long-established charity, Save the Children, which —subject to correction— I think was founded in or at the end of the First World War.

Some reading this may recall that, after the Jo Cox assassination in 2016, it came to light that the husband of that MP, the (I always thought, seeing him on TV etc) rather thuggish Brendan Cox, was exposed as a sex pest and quasi-rapist. Well, what interested me more was the fact that (if I recall aright), as something like third in command of Save the Children, Brendan Cox was being paid something like £200,000 pa. Not bad for someone with a very underwhelming academic and other background. Worse, the actual head of Save the Children was getting over £300,000 (in fact, from memory, it was nearly £400,000).

Not that I think that the head of a large organization, even a charitable one, should not be paid decently or even well, bearing in mind the skills required and responsibility held, but all the same it sits unpleasantly to see people donating pennies, or hard-scrabbled pounds, while the fat cats at the top of the tree get hundreds of thousands of pounds (and expenses) every year.

The world of international aid charities is a rotten borough. I once met a woman who was getting very well paid indeed (the equivalent of maybe £100,000 a year in today’s money), for about 2-3 days a week working for DFID as a “consultant”; she had some academic job as well. She told me that she had even been offered more money, about double, working for the UN Food and Agriculture Organization [FAO] in Rome. Her job title? [would be] “expert in food poverty”!

There’s something unclean about all that. Carpetbagging hypocrisy.

The latest news (as yet unconfirmed) about the persecuted satirist and singer is that her appeal against conviction and sentence will take place on 13 August 2021. As said, this is as yet unconfirmed. The appeal had been set down for the two days of 3-4 June 2021, but was adjourned at the request of the Crown. It may be that the appeal will now be more narrowly focussed, i.e. focussed on strictly legal arguments, and that that is why it seems now to be set down for only one day.

In the past, little happened in the courts in August, but that was then.

Someone needs a history lesson. I dislike having to correct those, with some of whose views I might be in agreement, but tweeter “@TimWhit22501381” is quite wrong in his dates.

Nikolai II or Nicholas II was in fact killed much later, on 17 July 1918. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_II_of_Russia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_II_of_Russia#Execution.

While I do not dispute the murderous nature of the Bolsheviks, nor necessarily the numbers killed under Bolshevik and Soviet rule (though numbers are always unreliable), the Bolsheviks took power in a coup d’etat about 6 months after the first revolution of 1917.

History is important. Historical facts are important.

It is true that the Afrikaaners were a hard people to like (I met quite a few in 1977, when I was in Rhodesia), but the black Africans are not capable of maintaining a civilized society of the “Western” (i.e. white European-origined) type.

The other parts of black Africa quite quickly reverted to savagery or chaos after colonies became “independent” “states”, and after most white people left. What is in black (sub-Saharan) Africa that is not savage or chaotic is, for the most part, like that because European people keep things going, either because they were born there and stayed, or are operating businesses or farms there, or are working for charities and other NGOs in those countries.

South Africa once had about a quarter of its population white. That declined to about 8.9% by 2011 and will no doubt be far less today. I have heard 6% mooted. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_South_Africa.

South Africa continues to decline, as it must under non-European rule. Slower, true, than has been the case in the rest of black Africa, because the proportion of Europeans is that much higher (Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, never had more than about 5% of its population white, a figure now far less than 1%, in fact around a quarter of one percent).

The South Africans I really cannot bear are the English South Africans, who were always whining about both the Afrikaaners and the blacks, and about apartheid, which had its flaws but also its merits.

Now, in the UK, we see many of those English-speaking South Africans working here (eg as doctors in the NHS). They display no intent to return to work in the fake “rainbow nation” beloved of the international conspiracy, yet pretend to love what South Africa has become, and decry “racism”…

If only the South African whites had voted differently in the early 1990s and had rejected what amounted to the ANC/Mandela takeover. The whites-only referendum was close; it might have gone the other way. Then, with Soviet support (money and arms) for the ANC, SWAPO etc gone, South Africa would have been able to crush rebellion and to survive, reforming itself slowly and intelligently, under white European control.

Yet more propaganda aimed at the destruction of our white European race and culture: the Google graphic for International Women’s Day (today, 8th of March) shows a large brown/black hand grasping an obviously white and obviously female hand (with painted nails). I suppose that it will be claimed that both hands are supposed to be female and that the picture shows “solidarity” or some such. Deliberately ambiguous…

Diary Blog, 9 February 2021, including an assessment of “Lord Walney” (John Woodcock)

John Woodcock

I have blogged previously about John Woodcock, now elevated to the life peerage as “Lord” Walney: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/05/04/john-woodcock-barrow-and-furness-and-the-general-election-2017/.

In that earlier blog post, I analyzed Woodcock’s politics and personality. Not impressive.

Woodcock/Walney has recently claimed that (what a surprise) “far-right” “terrorism” is the greatest danger facing the UK (for “UK”, read “NWO/ZOG System”).

I must have missed it last year, but it seems that Woodcock/Walney is now also part of the ownership cadre of the Jewish Chronicle:

In April 2020, Woodcock was named as part of a consortium, led by Robbie Gibb and including William Shawcross and John Ware, that put in a bid to purchase the assets of The Jewish Chronicle.[37]The Jewish Chronicle chairman Alan Jacobs criticised the offer’s anonymity, saying “A bid for the Jewish Chronicle using money from an unidentified source and fronted by a group of individuals who refuse to tell the world anything of their plans looks like a shameful attempt to hijack the world’s oldest Jewish newspaper.”[38] The bid was successful.[39]” [Wikipedia] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Woodcock,_Baron_Walney

Money from an unidentified source“? I wonder what sort of (((source))) that might be?

Incidentally, the Robbie Gibb mentioned by Wikipedia is a former Director of Communications at 10, Downing Street, and before that head of the BBC TV political output: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Gibb.

Gibb is also involved with the new GB News TV channel headed by Andrew Neil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GB_News

Political matters are matters of connection. All (((connected))).

When I assessed John Woodcock nearly 4 years ago, I was unable to discover whether he was part-Jew on the maternal side. He has always been, in the past few years at least, tied up with the Jewish-Zionist-Israel lobby. I see now that his middle name is “Zak” (Zacariah). He was one of the principal conspirators against Corbyn and Corbyn-Labour, and his recent —and entirely unmerited— peerage came from the Conservative Party.

Now Woodcock/Walney is involved with plans to clamp down on the freedom and free speech of the British people.

A sinister person.

Britain is now descending very fast. Ordinary “Parliamentary” methods and politics will not save it, or us.

Exactly. 6 million (more) Chinese coming here….it’s madness. A planned madness, though. Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The Great Replacement. White Genocide.

6 million (more) immigrants means an increase of nearly 10% in the UK population, and of well over 10% of the population of England. That’s before they start breeding.

Huge and threatening changes are taking place in the world. The “Aryan” or post-Atlantean/European peoples will have to fight, literally, in a multiform war of survival, much of it taking place in their own societies, if our evolution is to continue. If our evolution stops, so does that of the whole world. We fight for ourselves, but also for the whole world. Adolf Hitler foresaw this in 1942:

On the superficial level, Adolf Hitler lost his war. In reality, though, it continues in other forms, and will break out again, eventually, overtly.

I recall reading the comment of a reader of a newspaper report, about ten years ago; the report concerned a man actually taken to court because a neighbour heard him say something “racist” in his own garden! the reader commented somewhat thus: “this is what the UK is becoming; get out while you still can.”

At the time, I thought that that comment was a little over-excited. I was wrong; that commenting reader was right…

Home Office: “they will not be granted Leave to Remain, but will not be deported.” Screw “Leave to Remain”! They will still be here, and will start breeding, either among themselves or with British “hoes”, and so will never be removed, at least not while we are ruled by a “ZOG” [“Zionist Occupation Government”].

The scapegoat, 2021

A 95-year-old woman is to be tried in Germany. Her crime? She was the secretary of a WW2 camp commandant, in fact based (it seems) outside the camp itself.

The German police state (the present one, not the 1933-1945 Reich) has prosecuted her as a scapegoat for those now long-dead. Others have in recent years suffered similarly, such as very old men who, as boys of 18, belonged to the Wehrmacht or SS and did low-level work in concentration camp offices, or other activity. Even accountants have found themselves charged with complicity in the alleged death of thousands of Jews or others.

Of course, behind the conscienceless prosecutors of Merkel’s Germany stand the Jews and Israel, on the international level.

Another interesting contrast is between the bleeding heart pseudo-liberals and their refrain in relation to almost any criminal (that people should be treated leniently, released early etc), and the same bleaters when someone of 95 or 100 is on trial for supposed “crimes” “committed” by Germans in the early 1940s (such as shuffling paper in railway offices). Then, the “liberalism” vanishes, because the one-time 18 year old SS recruit or 18 year old secretary was “a Nazi”, i.e. was alive in the Germany of 1941-1945.

Were the 18 year old secretaries or draftees of 1945 Los Alamos (New Mexico) somehow responsible for Hiroshima and Nagasaki? No? Why not? If they were not guilty of wartme mass killing, then neither is a very old lady who was secretary to an SS commandant in 1944 or 1945 when she was 18 or 19…

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/05/former-secretary-at-nazi-camp-charged-over-of-10000-people

The Guardian report even recycles the discredited “six million” stuff…

Farcically, the persecuted and prosecuted 95 year old (presently resident in a care home), will be tried in a youth court, because she was under 21 during WW2! Alice in Wonderland, in German translation.

That very old woman is a pawn in a game of “holocaust” publicity, the game being yet another ZOG Schauspiel.

Paramedic tweeter “@peepculture” finds it a puzzle what is happening.

Marlene Dietrich

Saw a documentary about Marlene Dietrich [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlene_Dietrich]. Her mentor was one Josef von Sternberg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_von_Sternberg.

Looking at that “von Sternberg”, he certainly did not look German. I sought the answer. Wikipedia informed me that his real name was in fact Jonas Sternberg; Jew. The “von” presumably added for reasons of fashion, though I presume not camouflage (after all, most Hollywood studios were run by and riddled with Jews even in the 1930s, few of whom thought to attempt to conceal their origins).

That information led me to look at the Wikipedia page of another famous Hollywood name of the pre-WW2 era, Erich von Stroheim. Similar story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_von_Stroheim; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_von_Stroheim#Background_and_personal_life.
