The video is from Ukraine, judging by the numbers – from a part of the Zaporozhye region, which is controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A group in camouflage set up a car setup – one falls under the car, his accomplices begin to give the driver nightmares. What they want is not clear: most likely they will bring money to the TCC to send to the front.”

This is obviously the kind of “scam” or shakedown not uncommon in New York. I once saw it unfold right in front of me on 8th Avenue in Manhattan, but that one failed. In 1990. The van driver targeted robustly told the ragged-looking scammer to get lost, so he did not succeed in getting the “get lost money” (probably $20 or $50) he sought.

In the above case, though, we see soldiers doing it. Ukraine is a failed state.

Well put by Griffin.

My own view is based on the need for humanity to go further, to evolve higher.

I see the need now for a foundation to be laid which will, at a future time, be the basis for a quantum leap in evolution, a leap in the evolution of consciousness.

Such a foundation at present must rely on a corpus of white European humanity. White European humanity, however, is not the end-result but a starting-point. The “end-result” (in fact, not the end but merely a higher stage) is a new form of humanity, far higher than any of the race-forms and cultural forms of the present-day. When such a “super-race” comes into existence, it will be far in advance of all presently-existing racial types.

More seriously, Sharma obviously has decided that he has no great political future.

Reading West has returned Sharma in four elections now (2010, 2015, 2017, and 2019), and always with a vote-share above 40%: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_West_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s,

However, boundary changes may (I do not know) make the seat more marginal under its new name of Reading West and Mid-Berkshire. In any event, Sharma has obviously decided that the opinion polls look dire for his party, and that therefore he would probably end up as a backbench Opposition MP even if re-elected in 2024. He will probably return to the world of commerce.

Sharma attended the same school as me [https://rbcs.org.uk/] but about a decade later: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alok_Sharma.

So the rats continue to scuttle from the sinking Con ship, it seems.

The smart money is now betting that the Kiev regime will not only not “defeat” Russia in the sense of actually invading Russia proper, but will not even be able to retake Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk regions. That being so, US senators must be wondering how to reduce the biull for a seemingly endless war of attrition.

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

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

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

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

[Daily Mail].

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

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

The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Google it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Wall Street Journal:

Russia has adapted and corrected many of its mistakes, even as the Russian military’s poor performance in the early days of the war shocked many in the West.

Moscow has spent months preparing a strong defense against the current Ukrainian counter-offensive in the south. The use of drones has become more frequent and efficient; changed the tactics of using the Air Force, now successfully avoiding Ukrainian air defense at low altitudes; added guidance capabilities to old aerial bombs; moved deeper into the front and dispersed warehouses, equipment and command posts; began to better protect our own soldiers and equipment; improved electronic warfare; according to Western officials, it increases the production of tanks (from 100 to 200 per year) and artillery shells (from 1 to 2-3 million per year).

On the battlefield, “the difference since the beginning of the war is colossal.

I recall, even 30+ years ago, when I lived in New Jersey, the increasing problems caused by Hispanic migrants, mostly illegal, mostly from Central America. God knows what parts of the USA are now looking like.

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just a few memories of times past.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Result, a hyperinflationery economic collapse. Follow the money.

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

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

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

Another one for the “Eastern Front”?

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

FORMER British MI6 agent Alastair Crook has said that Ukrainian soldiers will start refusing to carry out an order to launch a new offensive if President Volodymyr Zelensky issues it on his return from the United States.

Kruk put forward the assumption that it will look like this: Zelensky addresses his generals with the words: “We must continue […] and break through the Russian defenses.” So he turns to his generals and realizes that none of them will follow him in this. Kruk estimates that the Ukrainian army is exhausted and that there is no продавница where Zelensky can buy new troops…

MI6 agent A. Crook“? Buyer beware, I suppose…

Thousands of Ukrainian men who are recognized as partially fit for military service will be drafted into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Take away Zelensky’s ricebowl.

Russia cannot “lose” this war, whatever happens (unless there is a palace revolution in the Kremlin).

The best solution is for Russia to retain Crimea, take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and also retain or take all of the coastal regions of the Black Sea and Sea of Azov to a depth of (arguende) 50 miles, including the city of Odessa. Kiev can either be taken by Russia or operated as a condominium, or maybe as a “free city” not fully controlled either by Russia or by a rump Ukrainian regime based (probably) in Lvov.

I covered this on the blog yesterday, concentrating on the linkage between the Secretary of State (Caroline Dinenage) and her husband (Mark Lancaster, life peer, former Con MP, Major-General in the Reserves, and former second-in-command of the Army’s 77 Brigade, which operates around online disinformation etc): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/09/21/diary-blog-21-september-2023-with-material-about-freedom-of-expression-russell-brand-caroline-dineage-and-77th-brigade/.

One in 12 people in Germany shares a right-wing extremist worldview, according to a new study published on Thursday.

The research by Friedrich Ebert Foundation has found that the number of people with far-right views has significantly increased in the past two years, and has exceeded 8%.

In the foundation’s 2020/2021 survey, less than 2% of the respondents had clearly expressed support for right-wing extremist views.

Researchers said the consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war, skyrocketing energy prices, and high inflation are creating challenges for the democratic parties in the center, and strengthening the far-right.

Insecurities and conflicts over who gets what and how much, are providing a gateway for right-wing extremist ideologies and anti-democratic attitudes,” the researchers said in a summary of their report.

According to the survey, trust in the institutions and in the functioning of democracy in Germany has fallen to below 60%.

The number of those who see themselves more to the right of the democratic center has significantly increased, from 9% to 15.5%.

More than 16% of those surveyed approved xenophobic statements, while 5.7% expressed antisemitic views. Some 4% played down crimes committed by Hitler and praised Nazi ideology or policies.”

In 1928, the NSDAP was voted for by only 2.6% of German voters nationally. By 1932, that had grown to over 33%, and by 1933 to nearly 44%. With God, all things are possible.

At present, there is no suitable party or leader known to the people (the same is true in the UK), but “cometh the hour, cometh the man“…

Caroline Dinenage, Russell Brand, the 77th Brigade, and freedom of expression

A sign of the times, at one with bank staff deciding to “de-bank” (cut off banking services from) people with the “wrong” sort of socio-political views, and the UK police taking the side of the corruptors of society, and getting involved in the persecution and prosecution of people such as myself who are trying to defend European civilization and culture.

Caroline Dinenage seems to have written to other persons and organizations in the same way:

Caroline Dinenage, however, has less influence than she seems to think:

Of course, the hell of this sort of situation is that one is forced to defend, by default, persons for whom one has no liking —or even interest— in general, such as Russell Brand.

Interesting. Having never taken any interest in Caroline Dinenage, I had no idea that she was that kind of slut. Still, who knows the ins and out of such situations, which would usually be considered part of a politician’s purely personal life, and not usually a matter for public discussion. Things happen, as they say…

In the interests of fairness, I should add that at least she belongs to Conservatives Against Foxhunting.

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

Interestingly, Caroline Dineage’s present husband, Mark Lancaster, a former Conservative Party MP who, despite his own apparently-bad behaviour, now sits in the House of Lords as Baron Lancaster of Kimbolton, was 2-i-c of the “dark arts” 77th Brigade for two years (2018-2020), and carried the rank of Colonel.

Lancaster, who was a mere 2nd Lieutenant when serving for 2 years in the regular Army (Royal Engineers, 1988-1990), afterwards achieved regular seniority in the TA (now, the Reserves), and completed three tours of active service overseas. He is now Director, Reserves, and carries the rank of Major-General.

So we have Caroline Dinenage who is Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport, and then her husband, a Conservative life peer who was second-in-command of 77th Brigade and its interference with Internet information and/or disinformation.

Then we have the “cancellation” of the admittedly unpleasant Russell Brand who, however, has apparently been on a socio-political journey placing him in opposition to the “dark powers” who have such influence in our society.

In relation to the “cancellation” of the Russell Brand character, and the letters and emails sent by Caroline Dinenage, that is all rather relevant, nicht wahr? I wonder whether I am the first person to have spotted the linkage.

…doubts are growing over the future of US assistance, with hardline Republicans saying they won’t approve funding to prevent a US government shutdown if it includes aid for Ukraine.

Zelensky’s trip to Washington – his second during wartime – is a dramatic departure from the first in December 2022, when he secretly flew in and received a hero’s welcome at the White House and on Capitol Hill. 

This time he is desperate to drum up support and win over skeptical lawmakers, insisting that Kyiv needs continued funding as well as a beefing up of air defences after Moscow hit Ukraine with another barrage of missiles overnight. 

The Ukrainian leader is under added pressure to secure US support after Poland sensationally declared it would no longer arm Ukraine amid a row over grain exports in a move sure to delight Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

BBC Newsnight

I happened to see a 10-minute report from BBC Newsnight about the protests in Wales and elsewhere around the migration invasion and, especially, protests caused by the commandeering of hotels to house the migrant-invaders.

What can one say? A rehash, pretty much, of all the similar dog***t TV reports on the so-called “far right” that I have ever seen, going right back to the mid-1970s. The only difference was the cross-Channel boat invasion aspect. In the past, we had an effective Navy, Coastguard, and police force (and courts), and were not being quite literally invaded by hundreds each day in small boats.

As always with such dull repetitive reports on TV, the assumption from the start is that anyone who wants to stop the migration-invasion is bad through and through, and the TV drone “reporting” (always) rubs that in with suggestions that (“ooh!“) some people actually think that Adolf Hitler was in many ways a positive influence, and that (“ooh!“) it might have been a good idea had the Second World War never happened. And so on.

Another aspect of Newsnight’s “report” which has been part of pretty much every similar TV show I have seen from 1975 to the present is the “honest local person” who has legitimate (minor) grievances (ie that could, it is implied, be dealt with by better admin etc) about matters such as migrant-invaders being housed in local hotels. Such “honest locals” invariably (as in the Newsnight report) decry any “far right” “infiltration” into their local protests.

This is what the Soviet Press and TV used to do. By all means protest (quietly) locally, and ask the Government to do things better, but do not question the whole policy, or the agenda behind it. In this case, yes, by all means protest about your local hotel being taken over, but do not say that the migration-invasion should be stopped, and do not protest about the black-brown migrant-invaders on a national or racial basis, and do not ask what is the agenda behind the migration-invasion (the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, in this case).

In the Newsnight report, there were two approved “honest locals” in two places, one an exhibitionistic fat woman who is, apparently, a local councillor in the Wigan area. She deplored the way “her” protest was “infiltrated” (ie outnumbered) by Patriotic Alternative and other protesters.

Needless to say, the views of the Patriotic Alternative and other people were only given briefly, and in such a way that they could be trashed.

There were two (if you like) “expert witnesses” as well: fat cat “Conservative” truffle-snuffler Tim Loughton (a noted expenses freeloader: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Loughton), who thought that the people who had to be, as he put it, “guarded against” were not the migrant-invaders but the “far right”…

The other “expert” was the egregious Neil Basu, a mixed-race ex-policeman whose chosen role (apart from expostulating about “racism”) is that of “counter-terrorism” etc. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Basu.

Basu seemed to be saying that anyone alive to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, or who wants an end to the migration-invasion (which must surely destroy our society within one or two generations) is a “terrorist“.

It is that kind of muddled thinking that has led the UK police to where they are today— almost useless at their proper job, while (many of them) spend their time on duty playing at “counter-terrorism” and acting like a poundland KGB, as I blogged 5 years ago: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/05/30/one-mans-extremism-is-another-mans-struggle-for-liberty-and-justice/.

In the Zaporozhye region, the Ukrainian army launched new attacks in the Orekhov-Rabotino sector. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are intensifying their attacks to break through the anti-tank ditch and reach Verbovoye, but there are no signs of previous massive attacks. A large number of infantry groups of 10 to 15 people are trying to advance under Russian artillery and tank fire. Half of them are scattered during the advance stages, and the rest are destroyed by mortars, grenade launchers and FPV drones after reaching the ditch.”

Zelensky knows that the only hope for the Kiev regime is to drag NATO into direct war with Russia, though that would trigger a major European war, and quite possibly an East-West nuclear exchange.

Whether that fall in inflation will help the present Government either in the upcoming by-elections or in the 2024 General Election is an open question. My feeling is that even usual Conservative Party voters have given up, and are shaking their collective head at the present incompetent misgovernment. I see no enthusiasm for Labour, though, just a kind of angry apathy, which may be reflected in abstention from voting, or in protest voting. One thing is sure— not very many people, relatively, are going to vote “Conservative”, as things stand.

Madness. Get rid of them, one way or another. This is all part of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan].

Positives and negatives. One positive is that the new Act will supersede the notoriously “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127, which has been so badly abused over past years, mainly by the nasty little Jew-Zionist cabal called the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

As regular readers will know, as things stand I myself still face trial in late November 2023 under that same 2003 Act, which however was recommended for repeal by the Law Commission a couple of years ago. Indeed, it may well be that (if the trial actually takes place) I may turn out to be the last person to be prosecuted under its very-poorly-drafted provisions criminalizing the posting of so-called “grossly offensive” material (which can mean anything or nothing).

However, it now seems that internet websites will be forced to censor material, and we can be sure (((which kind))) of (((pressure groups))) will be pulling the levers from the shadows…

As always, the cloak for censorship is “protect children!” and “protect the public from terrorism!“…

The Ukrainian counter-offensive has failed, overall. The Kiev-regime forces have so far managed to advance only a few miles in a few areas of the front, and at the expense of perhaps 50,000 or more killed, wounded and/or captured.

At the same time, the Kiev regime has been exposed yet again as corrupt, brutal, and shambolic.

The cold weather is only a few weeks off. Rain and cold, followed by ice and snow by November-December. When the ground is hard, Russia may launch a massive armoured onslaught, supported by thousands of missiles and drones attacking military formations, rear-area supply and logistics hubs, and the energy infrastructure of the Ukrainian cities. After that, in early 2024, there may be an advance by armies hundreds of thousands strong.

The Kiev regime cannot “win” this war, even to the extent of taking Crimea, Lugansk, and Donetsk. Where it is now is the best it is going to get for Zelensky’s cabal.

I agree with Hitchens. I have not bothered to address the UK’s exploding Russell Brand scandal on the blog because, first of all, the man himself seems to me to be not worth analyzing. Just one more cheap, tawdry, pseudo-“celebrity” know-nothing paid millions by the corrupt msm for nothing very much; plainly a negative contributor to society.

Secondly, there are more important issues around. The migration-invasion. The destruction of our society in many different ways (the fake “celebrity” culture being but one of those). The war in Ukraine and the threat of nuclear war between the USA and Russia (with the UK likely to cease to exist if such a war ever happens). World overpopulation. The threat to the bees. The Jew-Zionist situation. Many other issues.

Having said that, it is interesting that Brand is in process of being “cancelled” just as he (apparently) has (as I read, quite recently) started to publicly question some of the recent socio-political shibboleths. Co-incidence or, as with some other public people, pour encourager les autres?

A complete victory for Kiev will take a lot of time, and expelling all Russian troops from Ukraine is “too high a bar,” US Chief of Staff Mark Milley said in an interview with The Hill.

Zelensky has resisted peace talks with Moscow, saying Russia needs to be pushed out of all “Ukrainian territory.” However, according to General Milley, during the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces it is impossible to achieve this goal.

“There are significantly more than 200,000 Russian military personnel in the Russian-controlled part of Ukraine. This offensive, although significant, even if its goals are fully achieved, they will not drive out all the Russians, which is Zelensky’s broad strategic goal,” Milley said.”

Denmark, and the other countries in the NATO alliance, had better hope that there is not going to be a conventional war with Russia. They might find that all their armour has been turned into scrap metal in Ukraine.

“Jack Monroe” may have crashed and burned as a minor “celebrity”, and I doubt whether she will be writing any more recipe books after the disaster of the last one, and her appearances on Question Time etc are (one hopes) at an end, but all the same, if the aforesaid mugs keep paying her a total of, probably, a few thousand pounds per month, she can scarcely complain.

When I was about 10 or 11, and living in Sydney (Australia), I sometimes thought how nice it would be if every person in the country were to give me 1 cent. The population of Australia was then 12 million, so my idea would be worth about AUS $120,000. Why I even thought that, I have no idea.

The amount I mention might seem to have been modest, but houses in the best areas of Sydney, such as where I lived, were only about $30,000 or so in those days.

Incidentally, the Australian population is now about 27 million, more than twice the size it was in the late 1960s, the result of mass immigration from all over the world (rather than only from the UK and mainland Europe), which started in the late 1970s.

NATO: Kyiv’s requests for weapons and ammunition exceed the alliance’s capabilities Kyiv’s demands for weapons and ammunition, as well as the volume of military products used in Ukraine, exceed NATO’s capabilities.

This was stated by the head of the alliance’s military committee, Rob Bauer , during the annual conference of the NATO Chiefs of General Staff in Norway. “NATO countries that decide to supply weapons and ammunition to Kiev need to think about the risks associated with such a decision for their security and the security of the alliance,” he warned.

Bauer has previously complained about lagging defense production capacity, slowing deliveries and continuing price increases, and has expressed the view that increasing allied defense spending in such a situation may not actually improve the security situation.”

“General [Milley]: Even if the Ukrainian counter-offensive is successful – the Russians will not be expelled.

THE FIRST GENERAL OF AMERICA ADMITTED: THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE “LONG-TERM, DIFFICULT AND BLOODY” FOR KIEV.

The UKRAINIAN counter-offensive will not completely expel Russia from the conquered territories, nor will it completely return them to Kiev’s control, said General Mark Milley, the chief of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

The counter-offensive, although significant, has limited operational and tactical objectives. Even if these goals are fully achieved, they will not be enough to drive the Russians out completely,” [Milley] reasoned.

He avoided saying how long it would take Kyiv to achieve “its goals,” but admitted it would be “a fairly long period.” He also added that the Ukrainian counter-offensive will be “long-lasting, difficult and bloody“.

Russian President Vladimir Putin called the “counter-offensive” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “not a slip, but a fiasco.”

The new UK Defense Minister wants to transplant British pilots who trained Chinese colleagues The new British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said that former British army personnel who train colleagues from rival countries will be brought to justice. It was previously revealed that a number of former RAF military pilots were training Chinese PLA pilots for a generous payment of around £250,000.

Not sure what “transplant” means here but, leaving that aside, the Jew Shapps is talking nonsense (as usual).

Most of those ex-RAF pilots (most of whom were sacked by reason of spending cuts implemented by the “Conservative” governments of 2010-present) were selling their skills entirely lawfully at the time; I believe that the law was only recently changed. Retrospective laws are disapproved of in English law and tradition as unjust.

Over the past decade or so, the UK has been very badly served by its Secretaries of State for Defence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_of_State_for_Defence#Secretaries_of_State_for_Defence_(1964%E2%80%93present).

Good point. I have blogged about this in recent months. The population of Ukraine (including Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk regions etc) was about 43 million in 2021. However, in 1992, the population (including Crimea and the rest) was far higher, about 52 million. By 2014, the population had already decreased to about 45 million.

Ukraine’s population, for the past 30 years, has not been breeding fast enough to replace losses. That trend has now accelerated.

Possibly as much as a quarter of the 2021 Ukraine population has relocated beyond Ukraine’s borders.

The Russian or Russian-occupied areas (Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk etc) contain several million people. Crimea has 2-3 million.

In other words, the parts of Ukraine currently under the control of the Kiev regime now have somewhere in the region of 20-25 million inhabitants.

Bearing in mind that the Kiev-regime army has lost at least 500,000 young or young-ish men since last year, and that the ~4-5 million Ukrainians now living overseas are disproportionately female, the future of Ukraine as a state looks precarious at best.

At least one of the pair mentioned is a Jew. He supports the migration-invasion of Europe by blacks and browns. Is that surprising to the above tweeter?

Is Ukraine stuck?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For once, I tend to agree here with what Dan Hodges writes.

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

Convergence of systems, or the same system?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Welsh people have started fighting back against the country’s new 20mph speed limit by painting over newly-erected road signs for the newly-restricted zones. 

Furious locals spray painted over signs for the 20mph limit after Wales’s new rules came into force today as lorry drivers also vowed to show their opposition by driving at 19mph.

Photos show furious drivers have now started fighting back against the scheme by vandalising the newly-erected speed limit signs themselves.
Drivers taking to the road were also left confused as many local authorities failed to put up the new signs ahead of the 20mph limit coming into force.

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

The whole point is to frighten people. Wake up…

Interesting. Not a new idea (it goes back a hundred years) but it looks as if it will not be long before robot domestics will really be part of everyday life.

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

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

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