Saturday quiz

This week, political journalist John Rentoul scored one of his rare victories over me: his score was 6/10, mine only 5./10 (and two of those were guesses). My correct answers were numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, and 8.

It is rare for me to see the tweets of ex-officer and military-history writer Adrian Weale; even rarer for me to agree with any. Still, credit where due; I saw two yesterday (including 2 retweets) with both of which I agreed…

The first such tweet (and retweet) seen (referring to the effective dismissal of an academic for speaking sense about Jason Arday and similar matters):

See also:

The second tweet (and retweet), which also refers to the Jason Arday nonsense at Cambridge:

[“I think what’s happened is that, for a variety of reasons, the academy has lost the sense of what it is there for, which is to act as the guardian and proponent of best intellectual practice.

Much of that is because of the Gramscian ‘march through the institutions’ which has taken place over the last 80 years or so, which has had a devastating effect. Importing Marxian and Neo-Marxian dogma into the academy was guaranteed to dumb it down catastrophically and has left us, in the social sciences at least, with a self-marking come-as-you-are party for some of the most illiberal, narcissistic, corrupt perverts and weirdos ever to obtain academic tenure.”]

Britain in 2026

A sacked care worker broke into his former patients’ homes to rob them and kicked a blind wheelchair user in spate of robberies days after he lost his job.

Ediongseyene Essien broke into the homes of four elderly and disabled victims the day after he was suspended from work, even smashing down the back door of a petrified couple in their 80s to steal their money. Weeks later, Essien pretended to still be another ex-patient’s carer before kicking him to force his way into the home.

Laura Atherton, prosecuting, said the occupant, a wheelchair user and former patient of the defendant, was in bed when Essien gained entry by using a key stored in a coded safe outside the property. He subsequently took the man’s bank card, which was later used to make a series of purchases at Bargain Booze and L7 Village Market in Fairfield.

Earlier that same day, Essien was said to have called at the home of an 88 year old woman and her 85 year old husband, also a wheelchair user, at around 3pm and let himself in before departing. He returned at 9pm and began “ringing the doorbell and waving through the window” before coming back roughly 20 minutes later, at which point he kicked at the back door until he succeeded in smashing a glass pane.

The female occupant was left screaming for help as a result, with Essien having stolen the man’s wallet, which contained £200, before fleeing. In a statement read to the court on her behalf, she described how the ordeal had “completely devastated their lives”. She added: “We welcomed this man into our house and treated him with nothing but kindness and trust. To have this trust betrayed is heartbreaking.

“The feeling of absolute helplessness in that moment was truly awful. My home, which I loved and cherished, is no longer my safe place. Due to our age, disabilities and severe mobility issues, we are unable to leave the house. We are trapped in the very place this trauma occurred. He robbed an elderly couple of their peace, comfort and safety in their final years.”

Essien was arrested in relation to this series of burglaries before being released on bail, after which he turned up at the home of a blind cerebral palsy sufferer in Edge Hill shortly after 2pm on May 15. Having assumed that someone repeatedly pressing his doorbell was one of his carers, the occupant made his way to his front door in his wheelchair before explaining that he had cancelled his scheduled visits for that day.

Essien insisted he had been “sent to check on” the man and proceeded to force his way inside, kicking the victim out of the way as he did so. He then rushed in and took £90 in cash before fleeing the property.

This victim described in his own statement how he had “not slept properly since” and was now “very nervous and anxious”. With his aunt, whom he had previously lived with for 30 years, having passed away in March of this year, he added: “I just hope he doesn’t get away with it. I’m very wary of new carers. I’m scared he will come back.”

At approximately 5pm the same day, Essien then targeted a “highly vulnerable” woman who was “small in stature” as she made her way home after visiting a nearby shop.

He snatched her handbag, which contained £40 in cash and her bank cards, “forcefully pulling it from her grasp” when she attempted to fend him off with her walking stick.

Her shopping bag was torn during the struggle, sending its contents scattering across the pavement. She told the court in her statement: “I’ve lost any independence I had before. I used to go out to the local shop and attend various community activities.

“As a result of this, I’ve felt very anxious at even the thought of going out on my own. I have to ask staff in my supported accommodation to go out to the shop for me. I’m a very vulnerable person. I feel that the person has seen me as an easy target, which is why he’s attacked me. I fear someone will see me as an easy target again.

Essien admitted two counts of robbery, four of burglary and a charge of fraud. Appearing via video link to HMP Liverpool, he was seen holding his head in his hands before he was jailed for eight years and handed restraining orders which will ban him from contacting his victims for the next decade.

[defendant]

A useless and in fact dangerous low-IQ parasite, let into the UK by “dirty democratic politicians”, in Hitler’s well-known description.

The judge was told that, upon serving a third of his sentence, the defendant would probably be deported. Maybe so (I wonder, though), but I say don’t send it back to Africa. Put it up against a wall. In public.

We, the ever-dwindling real people of these islands, have to retake control, whatever it takes.

I wonder what today’s equivalent would be. I certainly doubt that reality has much crept in, reading how the trashier parts of the Press (Daily Express, Daily Mail, Daily Star etc) are enthusiastically advising their (mostly pensioner-) readers about plans to introduce conscription and food rationing by reason of the “Russian threat” (which only exists because UK governments have been provoking Russia since at least 2014 —and, arguably, since 1991).

MAFF was the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food until 2002.

Officialdom , the Westminster monkeyhouse, and the msm in the UK seem to think (or pretend to the public) that fighting a war against Russia (a Russia with ~7,000 nuclear weapons, apart from anything else) and when the UK these days scarcely has an army, navy, or air force, will be a slightly updated version of the Battle of Britain, the Normandy Landings, El Alamein, or even the Western Front circa 1916.

Regular readers of the blog know my views on this: take away Zelensky’s ricebowl, focus on improving relations with Russia, leave NATO, arrange for cost-price gas and maybe oil from Russia, and find in Russia a massive market for UK goods and services (even more so if the EU states and Americans continue to apply punitive sanctions against Russia).

Britain still has a nuclear deterrent with maybe 150 submarine-launched missiles available (altogether), and that (once the Americans are shown the door) can be, for the first time in decades, a truly independent deterrent, akin to the French force de frappe. A backstop. Enough.

[“One evening in the biting winter cold of 2014, I went down to Maidan with my Ukrainian translator and her mother. It was packed, lively like a festival. “What do you think of all this?” My translator asked me as her mother waved a large Ukrianian flag above her head.

“It won’t end well.” I replied.

After covering Libya, Syria, you get to know the political movements that will only lead a country to ruin. An alliance of foreign money, oligarchs and ultra nationalist extremists was clearly in that bracket.

I asked my translators lovely mother why she supported it. She said something along the lines of “Europe is richer than Russia. And I like going on holiday there.” She had little magnets of the places she’d been to on her fridge. London, Paris, Spain. They were sold a dream of a bright European future.

I was there when a statue of Lenin was pulled down in the late evening. With a truck and some chains. Down it fell and people cheered as it shattered on the ground. I picked up a piece. I think I’ve still got it at home. But most Ukrainians didn’t want their statues pulled down. It wasn’t what it was supposed to be about. Or rather it was. But they didn’t know it.

The East rose. Crimea lost. More statues pulled down. And eight years later, the real slaughter began.

The ukrainians I know have already fled abroad. Those who claim to support Ukraine want them to stay and die.

The dream turned to ashes by the inevitable hammer blow of political reality and great nation politics. People manipulated and left for dead for a misplaced chess move on the geopolitical map.

And those who speak sense are silenced. Sometimes fatally. They’ll silence the wise in order to manipulate the politically illiterate. Then give them flags to wave. And nations fall.

Blame whoever you want. But it’s a hell of tragedy. Other nations beware.”]

[“Decisions are not being thought through”

NATO lacks strategic thinking, according to statements made in Europe. The organization is not prepared to take responsibility for the inevitable retaliatory strikes by Russia against Ukraine, believes Professor Glenn Diesen of the University of Southeast Norway.

“What is the point of escalating the conflict by striking Russian civilian infrastructure, when Moscow far surpasses Kyiv in terms of air power, and Ukraine does not even have adequate air defense? These decisions are not being thought through… The NATO elite always goes from euphoria during reckless escalation to crocodile tears when a retaliatory strike is necessary,” he wrote on social media.”]

I am not a professional psychologist or psychiatrist, but I wonder what such a scientific or medical specialist would make of a patient who persistently minimizes the suffering, physical pain, or trauma of others, particularly that caused directly by the said patient, while magnifying or even inventing any trauma, inconvenience or irritation —however slight— of his or her own?

On the large scale, that is what we often see in the reactions of the Jews and Israel. The quantum of deaths (many of which are plain murder) and injury caused to the civilians of Gaza, numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and involving the death or mutilation of children and even babies, and over 2-3 years, daily, is answered by the screech “and what about the several hundred Jews killed on one day in 2023 by Hamas operatives?” [and also by Israeli free-fire protocols].

The starvation of many people in Gaza, and the death by starvation of some, is answered by Jews who either deny that there ever was starvation, or who say that “people only went hungry because Hamas militiamen took all the food generously allowed in by the Israeli Jews“, or that —in various ways— it is or was the fault of the starving children themselves, and/or of their families.

Jews (both from Israel and from countries such as the USA and UK) on Twitter/X etc often delight in adding to such comments pictures of Jews having a good time at barbecues, or enjoying the foods that form part of their quasi-religious supremacist holiday festivals.

If a school or hospital is bombed or rocketed by Israeli forces, and a Palestinian Arab platoon or military storage unit is later found there, or nearby, that is enough, in “their” psychology, to justify the “slaughter of the innocents” (usually described as, when admitted at all, “unfortunate collateral damage”).

Jews in the UK etc often deny that those suffering because of Jewish/Israeli actions are suffering at all, or if they are, are suffering by reason of their own defaults, and/or that the Israeli war machine is being somehow “kind” in the way in which it destroys people’s whole lives (for example, by dropping leaflets “advising” their victims to leave home before said home is blasted to pieces, together with the families who lived there, and their possessions).

However, if Jews in the UK, USA etc happen to see a swastika drawn on a steamed-up train window, or chalked by a child on a wall, the heavens fall, and the world almost comes to an end. The police even have to get involved, quite often, after such trivial matters are reported by hysterical Jewish organizations or individuals as “hate crime” or even “terrorism”.

I think that, were an individual person, a patient, with such traits, to present before, say, a psychiatrist, that patient would no doubt be found to have a severe case of some or another mental illness. What to say or do, though, when a whole people seems to have such traits?

Will Trump ever understand the damage he has caused by being a total puppet of the Jewish lobby and Israel? Probably not… wilfully not, in fact.

The present crisis might even trigger worse catastrophes:

I imagine that Trump will simply, at some point, when much of Iran has been flattened, declare a form of victory, then move on. The damage that a state with the USA’s level of military-destructive capability can inflict is huge, of course, but that alone is not victory (unless Trump intends to use nuclear weapons to destroy entirely the Iranians as a people, and that is unlikely, even for Trump).

I speculated yesterday, on the blog, as to whether Israelis hacked that lady’s original Twitter/X account (a day or two ago). Maybe.

The only thing that really concerns Jess Phillips is how much money she is making (salaries, expenses, other income-streams). That, and getting as much personal publicity as possible. I blogged about that horrible woman years ago:

I have been, so far, unable to establish Jess Phillips’ provenance going back very far, but I notice that the Jewish/Israel lobby on Twitter/X tends to be very supportive of her.

All slaughter, or virtually all, and whether human or animal, is brutal and cruel by its very nature, but as a society we must make it less cruel, to the furthest extent we can. That means, inter alia, that both halal and kosher slaughter must be disallowed. If that, in turn, means that the ethno-religious communities involved have to leave the UK, and all Europe, then I should regard that very much as a win-win.

THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP IS BROKEN by

[“@freddiejh8 The New Statesman has spoken to administration officials in Washington, sources in the Middle East, London and the Democratic Party, as well as Nigel Farage. What emerges from these conversations is a picture of the “special relationship” that has long been deteriorating and has now been broken by a war that is spiralling out of control.

What Starmer and his team did not understand when they left the White House last February was that the Maga movement believes Britain is a sinking nation, one overwhelmed by “third-world” immigration and vulnerable to woke institutions. Steve Bannon told me that Britain is “not a post-Christian nation, [but] a pre-Islamic” one. When I asked about the UK government’s distinction between offensive and defensive strikes he said, “That’s diplomatic bullshit. Fuck you. You’re either an ally or you’re not. Fuck you. The special relationship is over.” Some British officials still think they only need to preserve the relationship long enough for the Trumpian era to pass. But that is to misunderstand the ambivalence, and occasional hostility, among Democrats. Matt Duss, who was Bernie Sanders’ foreign policy adviser and went to last month’s Munich Security Conference with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, gave no credit to Starmer for his supposedly independent position. “An insult to empty suits,” was how he described Starmer to me.

Parts of the British right believe in another path to fix things: put Farage in No 10. Farage has aligned himself with the president’s war in Iran. “Iran’s a genuine threat to the world,” he told me. But what about the Chinese Communist Party or Vladimir Putin? “Iran potentially poses a bigger danger than Putin poses to us,” he replied. “I do feel this is different.”

The special relationship is a seductive idea. British PMs have long seen these words as the antidote to British decline, the key to influence beyond these islands. That myth is slowly dying.”]

In the real America, beyond the (Washington D.C.) Beltway, that “special relationship” concept has no traction whatsoever. I was in the USA fairly frequently from 1989-1993 and then from 1999-2002, and I never heard or saw the phrase used once, not by American colleagues etc, not on radio or TV, not even in the Press (and I bought the New York Times several times a week).

The “Special Relationship” is a largely-meaningless phrase, and always was, really, certainly after about 1956 (my own birth year but, more significantly in this context, Suez). Something with some reality, perhaps, from about 1941 to about 1956.

The phrase is only really heard from British politicians, talking-heads, and scribblers. In any case, the US/UK relationship has become a one-way street, with the USA getting all of the benefit.

Why should the lady tweeter assume that, just because someone (in this case, Dearlove) was Chief of SIS, that he really is worth listening to in his retirement, when he is making money in the private sector? After all, even when en poste as SIS Chief, Dearlove trimmed his sails to the Blair (i.e. Israel-lobby) war party, with the so-called Iraq “dodgy dossier”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dearlove.

Dearlove is also connected, to some degree or in some way, with the pro-Israel Henry Jackson Society.

Imagine a “journalist” so badly-informed that he takes on a mental and physical ****-up such as “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, with a long record of both incompetence and dishonesty, as his instructed solicitor…

There may be something directly “political” behind the litigation.

Anyone wanting to read my blog posts about or involving Lewis can find them via the search box on the blog.

Abuse of the English legal system for Jew-Zionist tribal motives but also to make money out of it. Take a look at my posts about the scams attempted by Mark Lewis, his wife/carer Mandy Blumenthal and abetted by newspaper scribbler Sabrina Miller.

If only either the Second World War had not started, or had resulted in armistice (in the West) in 1940, or the German Reich had won.

I may not think highly of many of the Arabs, but the Jew-Zionists are something else again. The behaviour of many of them is indescribably evil.

Saturday quiz

A convincing drubbing of political journalist John Rentoul this week. He scored a modest 4/10, which I trumped with 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 7, 8, and 9 (and admit that my correct answer to question 5 was an educated guess).

Ha ha! Many of them actually think like that. The 2,000-3,000 years (or more) of European history and culture are, for most of them, a closed book; they know almost literally nothing about it, and so about us.

Meanwhile, in London, the zoo is no longer that place in Regent’s Park.

…and both Starmer and Angela Rayner got down on one knee in sign of fealty to that nonsense…

Alex Kotlowitz…99% of that sort of propaganda comes from “them” (((them))).

…but say so, and (((someone))) will make a contrived complaint to the otherwise all but inactive police, and you may find yourself in court as a defendant…

A point already made on this blog a day or so ago.

Gideon Rachman

Every. Single. Time.

As noted previously, many of them really believe that, or some version or variant of that…

…and that is what it would be like in France under Marine le Pen, in Germany under the AfD, and in the UK under Farage or Reform UK. Controlled opposition. The touchstone is what any political group says about Israel, the Jew-Zionist lobby, and generally the “JQ”. If they are ideologically unsound on that, you can chuck them in the bin.

It is, apparently, “antisemitic” for non-Jews to play Jewish roles such as Robert Oppenheimer (the nuclear physicist) in a recent TV series, but Jews play white European roles all the time. Apparently, that’s OK (and, no doubt, to prevent that or even complain about it would be —you guessed it— “antisemitic“).

Blacks too, can play any European role (however absurdly), but I have yet to see a European actor playing Nelson Mandela or Muhammad Ali… That will never happen; if it did, our cities would burn to the ground (be burned to the ground).

As noted many times on this blog, the propaganda is not aimed at the adult audience, primarily; the main target is the under-18 demographic, especially children, and the aim is to normalize the existence, and prominence, of non-whites in every part of our society, even when (as in almost any European historical setting) there were no blacks at all. Also, to normalize mixed-race breeding.

It’s almost funny…just as the Soviet Union and the whole “East bloc” (and almost all Western observers) pretended, during the 1980s, that its system, way of life etc would go on pretty much forever (only to find that all that collapsed almost, not quite, overnight in various socialist states in 1989, 1990, 1991), the UK ruling groups are themselves pretty much stuck in a bubble of belief not unalike that Soviet/socialist mindset.

I saw the “East bloc” a few times in the late 1980s, and had a lot of contact with Soviet and ex-Soviet people all through that decade. I get a similar feeling looking at our UK society. The facade is still there, but it is held together with string and glue…

Look at this latest “conscript the British public to fight Russia” nonsense. To some extent, it may be an attempt to prevent the wipe-out of the Conservative Party at GE 2024, but it goes much wider than that. Similar nonsense has come out of Washington, Brussels, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Finland in the past 2 weeks.

In the UK, there seem to be Army top brass, as well as many members of the public, who believe that not only should the UK “fight Russia” but that “we” can (also, note the illusion that the UK is still a “nation”…). Also, that the projected (promoted?) Third World War (against Russia) will be somewhat like a conflation of WW1 and WW2. The usual mistake— “fighting the last war”.

I have as yet seen no colourful graphics from the Daily Mail, Express etc describing vividly what the blasted and irradiated remnant of the UK might be like after a nuclear war…

Sounds desperate. Maybe, though, that is how John Rentoul and the other Westminster Bubble people really think— that the past 10-20 years in the UK has been really great… maybe life has been, for them and, overall, about 5% of the population…

So a general heating of the political/military atmosphere of the world this year.

Always interesting to see the areas where such events took place. En route back across Europe by car (Turkey to UK) in the summer 2001, my wife and I stumbled upon a small family-run hotel in the Ardennes.

On its own, with no houses nearby, and on a minor road. All around, the country was heavily-wooded, and the hotel (a large 19thC house with a pleasant garden) had had a small restaurant extension added circa 1960 (I think), looking like —and furnished in— the style of some of the scenes in the film North by Northwest.

As we dined, initially alone in the restaurant (later, one other couple appeared, but I think that we were the only other hotel guests), we were told by the waitress (a young woman, one of the owning family) that during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, that house had been the headquarters (or one such) for the American commander, Patton, and that we were occupying the room that Patton himself had used as a bedroom during part of those times (either during or after the actual battle; the exact details were not specified).

The norm in the past has been for the opinion polls to narrow as a general election approaches. This time, with only 10 months to go, and possibly only 8 months, the polls are widening. Why?

For me it is clear that the widening is not because the voters love fake (and Zionist-ruled) “Labour”, and/or wishy-washy bureaucrat-dictator Starmer, but because they —including many former Con voters— actually now hate —and I do mean hate— this incompetent and hopeless “Conservative” government, and want to stamp on it until it dies. They want to kill off (politically) as many Con Party MPs as possible.

No point in going again through all the reasons, but part of, or added to, that long list would obviously be the endless pseudo-“tough” talk on immigration combined with no action whatsoever. Also, now, the craven “support” given to the evil Israeli regime and the UK Jewish lobby; also now the billions (more) being wasted on “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime), together with the suggestion that the UK should be placed on a war footing (notionally against Russia), with whatever civil rights still existing removed (eg the fast-disappearing free speech rights). Even the reintroduction of conscription or “National Service”. Madness.

Late tweets

Rain, sleet, and no shelter or any food for many. Meanwhile, the Jews (both in and out of Israel) claim that their ancestors had it worse in early/mid 1940s Poland, and that their actions in Gaza are legitimate “self-defence”…

That should be the stance taken by all European political leaders.

“Containment” is not at all necessary, because Russia in 2024 has no ideology that would make expansion in any way its national goal, as contrasted with pre-1990s Soviet Marxism-Leninism.

“Ukraine” should really consist of only the territory west of the Dnieper.

Sentencing As Virtue-Signalling

I do not often blog about criminal court cases, but this one caught my eye.

https://www.itv.com/news/2019-05-16/sad-man-jailed-for-daubing-racist-graffiti-on-african-familys-door/

On the face of it, a clear case, with no doubt about the immediately-relevant facts. The defendant admitted to the crime and was sentenced to a year in prison. There are some nuances, however.

Obviously, criminal damage cannot be tolerated, and it is certainly not very nice and certainly not very polite to daub words on the door of a neighbouring dwelling; but to my mind the sentence was harsh.

The defendant was sentenced to a year in prison and will therefore be released in 6 months’ time, possibly earlier. The chances are that he will lose his local authority home. I have no idea what possessions or companion animals he may have, but unless he has friends or family somewhere to look after them, they too will be lost. He will come out of prison with nowhere to go, and may not be rehoused if some local penpusher decrees that he made himself homeless by his own actions.

That is part of the background. Then we have the point that the defendant had no previous convictions save for a silly one, 27 years previously, involving a “sick-note”.

In view of the fact that the local authority would probably take the crime to be a breach of lease terms or conditions, and so would take away the defendant’s home anyway, would it not have been more just simply to have given this defendant a suspended sentence?

This looks like kicking a man when he is down. At the same time, we see the courts daily giving thugs, thieves etc non-sentences. Of course, this was a “racial” crime…the courts have obviously been told to treat any offence having a “racial” element more seriously (harshly), in an attempt to keep the doomed multikulti society from falling to pieces.

I noticed, also, that the victims were from the Congo. Again, I do not know the full facts, but it is odds-on that what we have here are either “refugees” or economic migrants who have left Africa in order to settle in the UK. Odds-on, again, that the British people (including the defendant) are paying for the victims to live here and breed.

The case above reminds me of one about 25 years ago in Hammersmith, in which a man was driven half-mad by the incessant noise of blacks and their “music”, parties etc in the flat above his dwelling; so much so that he burned them out, killing several. He got a sentence, I think, of about 10 years for manslaughter and arson. Again, the act can scarcely be “justified”, perhaps, but it can be understood. Legally, provocation does not exist and provides no defence in such a case. In real-life terms, though, I think that many will feel a little sorry for such a defendant.

There is a further point: the defendant in the immediate case in question felt the need to say that he is not “racist” (perhaps after consultation with solicitors or Counsel). So even he himself felt the need to “virtue-signal”! If he or his advisers thought that a display of “contrition” and “I’m not racist” protesting would mitigate the sentence, they seem to have been mistaken.

There is also the point that, as hundreds of thousands of blacks and browns etc flood into the UK every year, and as politicians bleat about the “need” to destroy what is left of the countryside in order to build little boxes for migrants on agricultural land and forested land, very many fully-entitled British people are homeless (after today’s sentence, add another one, 6 months down the line).

I am at present also preparing a blog post about Peter Hitchens, who thinks that the UK is doomed in terms of its present society. I suppose that most of us hope that he is wrong. I also suppose that he is probably right.
