I believe that Crooke was an officer of British SIS, who now lives somewhere in Lebanon. [note: a reader of the blog informs me that Crooke is now resident (living) in Italy].

Apparently the London/UK economy will have lost about £30M by reason of the ban on that black entertainer (and the subsequent/consequent abandonment of a music festival), he now having been banned from entering the UK.

All because a few Jews felt (pretended to feel) “offended” by his planned brief presence here.

When the karmic pendulum swings, Israel and the Israelis will suffer blows of Fate compared to which the early 1940s “holocaust” farrago will be seen as nothing.

She only just discovered this?

Ha ha. I doubt that Putin will be shaking in his boots. Does that political pygmy, Healey, really imagine that his empty threats will concern a country whose leadership controls, apart from large numbers of ships and submarines, something like 6,000+ nuclear weapons?

It really is ludicrous watching little System-party people such as Healey enjoying their 15 minutes of fame on (what they obviously imagine is) the “world stage”.

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

In any case, Britain should be out of NATO and seeking closer relations with Russia. Apart from, in that event, not being a prime target in any major conflict, the British people would then get their required oil and gas at cost price, from Russia.

As already said…ludicrous. Like all present Labour-label ministers, Healey is just a silly little joke.

Iran is now able to tax all ships, or all it wants to tax, using the Strait of Hormuz. The “going rate” is said to be USD $2M per ship per transit. Normal traffic, i.e. when there is no active conflict, was about 150 ships per day (westward and eastward combined). That adds up about about USD $300M per day into Iran’s coffers. “A nice little earner”, if you like. Even if only the eastward ships are to be taxed, that would still be about USD $150M daily.

[update, same day: Iran now says that, during the 2-week ceasefire, only 15 ships per day will be allowed to traverse the Gulf. I presume that that is designed to keep economic pressure on the West.]

Almost identical to another poll yesterday. Main points: a solid Commons majority for Reform (about 383 MPs), and Starmer losing his own seat (as in all polls for months now).

I gave a talk on international swaps (and informal trading tactics) at the University of South Carolina, one sunny afternoon in 2002. A pleasant-enough place, located in Columbia, South Carolina, and about a 2-hour drive from Charleston.

Seems a long long time ago now…

Import millions of such types, and you also import their corruption and thievery, inter alia. Fact.

[“And now I’m here at this lovely rooftop bar in central London. It’s a gorgeous, hot, sunny day, with a balcony that overlooks all of the London landmarks, so have a guess why nobody is sat outside? That’s right; you’re not allowed drinks outside anymore. They had an incident on Saturday and since then have banned drinks outside. This is everything that’s wrong with this country. A few people do something stupid and instead of dealing with them, everyone has their fun stopped. Bloody depressing.“]

Exactly.

I used to use Leather Lane Market occasionally in the 1980s. Near Hatton Garden and other places. Have not been back since about 1993.

More has been made of the canal since I lived in London.

That photographer seems to hit all my old haunts: Lincoln’s Inn, Little Venice, Clerkenwell/Holborn…

Just the place for a holiday or an investment opportunity. Oh, wait a moment…

Were the UK to leave NATO and cultivate friendly relations with Russia, we could have Russian oil and gas at cost price.

What did you expect from Starmer-stein, a clueless careerist and moneygrubber who finds it hard to distinguish between a man and a woman…

Actually, that reminds me of the so-called “Ukrainian rent boys” trial involving Starmer, and which I believe has now been delayed even longer. Will be interesting to see what transpires.

As blogged previously, Starmer is trying to please both his largely Muslim —and other anti-Israel— voters and, at the same time, Israel and the UK Jewish lobby, that put Starmer into the Labour leadership, and so the office of Prime Minister, in the first place.

“A house divided against itself cannot stand“…

Not an issue that affects me personally now, though it would do were I still living in the large country house of which I had a lease in the 2002-2004 period. That house had an oil central heating system so complicated that two engineers had to come from the Midlands, maybe Derby, to tell us how to set the controls on the control panel (in the cellars), a panel that looked like something out of an old sci-fi film, or Stingray.

The oil was delivered by road tanker once a month, and they pumped enough to fill the tanks, so the price varied depending on usage, i.e. on the season.

As to the cost (and bear in mind this was well over 20 years ago), one cold January I got a bill for oil, for the month, of not much less than £700. For today’s value, I suppose you would have to add on the cost of coal and logs for the open fires (another £100 at least), then more than double it. Make it £1,600. For one month. That did not even cover heating the whole house, just some bedrooms, drawing room. library, kitchen/morning room area, Victorian conservatory, and the inner hall. We closed off many sections, including the ballroom.

God knows what the actual cost today, and/or soon, might be.

[my rented “splendour” in Cornwall, lived in during 2002-2004]

Quite. The Jews of Israel started this war, Trump concurred because they effectively control him and his increasingly mad administration (they may be blackmailing him re Epstein etc), and they and Trump must now face the Iranians alone.

Incidentally, should Israel fall at some future point, and Jew “refugees” start to play the victim (again) and want to move en masse to Europe, Europe including the UK, Ireland etc, should reply, “NEIN DANKE!“

If only we in the UK had done that in the 1930s and 1940s.

[“Professor John Mearsheimer:

We’re not winning against Iran. We’re not winning.

We’re sending a message that we’re a bunch of fools. That we started a war we can’t win.

We didn’t have the required military forces to achieve any of the objectives that we were floating, and we had no plan.

What does this tell the Chinese and what does it tell the Russians?

It tells them that we are incompetent. Of course the Russians have had enough dealings with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to fully understand just how incompetent we are.“]

Typical of the sort of nincompoops recently heading and/or now heading the armed services in the UK (maybe other services too, in fact). That one wants the UK to send its few ships to the Gulf to assist the evil Israeli regime and the mad Trump regime to fight Iran. A contrived and unnecessary war which has nothing directly to do with us.

Admirals who send ships into unnecessary wars, knowing they may well be sunk, and generals who send troops to almost certain death when they need not do so are unfit and should be dismissed or (if retired, like that one in the Daily Mail) ignored.

Now imagine the situation were there either an effective police force in this country or, failing that, a kind of British Freikorps, a squad of which would immediately detain and/or eliminate the migrant sex criminal.

Monkeyworld.

A former diplomat/intelligence officer (whose brother was a noted SAS officer): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_Crooke.

So, possibilities are that Netanyahu has been assassinated, or that he has been hit and badly injured and so is receiving medical treatment in a secret location, or that he is in some bunker or headquarters, plotting his next move.

There has even now been mooted an Israeli nuclear attack on Iran.

If the [Israeli] Jews use nuclear weapons, after having fomented and then started this war, and after their 2.5 years of sadistic destruction and slaughter in Gaza, one thing is sure— the people of the world do not and will not want to hear any more of the old “holocaust” farrago from them.

Ed Davey is a total buffoon, and the LibDems are a joke party, only polling at 10%-15%, but luckily for them their vote is concentrated in 50-100 seats, which therefore gifts the LibDems (at present) 72 MPs.

They should be publicly executed, as a warning to other evil individuals, and to mark societal abhorrence.

A la recherche du temps perdu…

I am old enough to remember those little shops. One in particular, in Caversham Heights, near Reading, early 1960s. The sweets were dispensed by the owner, I think an otherwise-retired old fellow, who sold them in small white-paper bags. A wide range, but I either bought small boiled sweets (very small balls of hard candy), or a kind of chewing gum that came with collectable cards depicting (and explaining) battles of the American Civil War of the 1860s. I wanted the cards, not the gum.

Very gory, those cards (as I discovered only when I belatedly read law, 20 years later) were the subject of a legal case (as to whether they counted as “obscene” because of their bloodsoaked content), which case went as high as the House of Lords (House of Lords Judicial Committee, the forerunner of the present UK Supreme Court). That was around 1965, only a couple of years after I used to buy the cards.

I remember that all my friends (who also bought the cards) favoured the Confederate side, but I (alone, I think) favoured the Union. Not sure now, over 60 years later, whether that was because the Union side was more efficient, or more advanced in weaponry, or just because I wanted to go contrary to the views of the mob.

The sweetshop in question was actually made out of the front part of an ordinary late-19thC house, which (I see from Google maps and streetview) has now reverted to being just a house again.

I also remember the little sweetshop because, aged about 7, I sheltered in that tiny shop after I (God knows why, now, but it would have been in self-defence) hit another boy, and then was sought out by the much older, and rather fearsome, brother of the same. In the end, the older boy caught me outside but, after I explained that I had hit his brother in self-defence, he was very reasonable, and let me off. Maybe I had dormant barristerial skills even then (or at least the ability to get out of scrapes)…

Thangam “Debbonaire”, an ex-MP who uses a fake name (her real or original name was “Singh”, but she changed it by deed poll, presumably wanting to sound less “ethnic”), and who was kicked out by the voters at GE 2024, is invited onto TV to opine about immigration and public order etc. Why? She has no real locus standi any more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thangam_Debbonaire.

The people instinctively know that the System parties are rubbish, but also feel that, equally, there are no credible non-System parties for which to vote, only the very underwhelming Reform UK. Certainly, there are no credible social-national alternatives.

Look at what “they” are doing in Gaza, in the West Bank, and elsewhere. “They” always do such things when they have power. That is why “they” must never have power and, whenever they do have power, must be removed from having power.

Superficially impressive, but then exercises like that always are. “Qatari Army”? Really?

I have no time for the Gulf Arabs, none at all.

Terrible, but good to see that the lady’s companion animal was also rescued.

(in thousands; in other words about 1.4M in all).

The state of Britain is so frustrating that it is tempting to shout “Full Communism Now!“, but that, of course, is not the answer. I recall that the Dowager Lady Birdwood opined that I was a “national bolshevik” (when I was aged about 18, around 1975)!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Birdwood,_Baroness_Birdwood

True, but the “welfare” bill would be very low were it not for the existence of literally millions of non-white parasites in the UK, both the migrants and the children and grandchildren of migrants and former migrants.

Morning thought

I noticed that the following blog post from over 6 years ago was looked at overnight by someone somewhere. It has in fact not been much read since I published it in December 2017, which (I think) is a pity. Still, “one human soul is a big audience“…

The General Shape of a Future Society

That is OK, in principle, but Finland last year joined NATO, which has moved from being a mainly defensive alliance during the Cold War to its present expansionist and rather aggressive posture.

Israeli war crimes.

Hard to believe that anyone ever gave the likes of “Boris” Johnson, Liz Truss, or Theresa May any credibility; same for the little Indian money-juggler, Sunak. There it is, though. Winston Churchill said that belief in “democracy” only lasts as long as a 5-minute conversation with the average voter.

My thoughts about “democracy” from 5 years ago on the blog: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/15/has-parliamentary-democracy-as-we-have-known-it-until-now-had-its-day-in-the-uk/.

Who are they trying to fool? As soon as he is kicked out, the little Indian money-juggler will be off, with his ultra-wealthy Indian heiress wife, to somewhere like Palo Alto or Bel-Air. Yes, he was born here, went to Winchester and then Oxford, but he has about as much in common with this country as Ali Bongo (the African one).

Partly-true, but the State could control pay if that were required (which I think it now is): set limits for pay, with exceptions for genuine inventor-entrepreneurs such as Dyson. People who are just executives could be restricted to somewhere around £500,000 a year (gross), or even as “little” as £200,000 (net). The same goes for the likes of TV presenters, footballers etc.

The vast majority of UK workers and others in this country (eg pensioners, disabled non-workers, unemployed etc) receive net pay and/or benefits of £25,000 p.a. or below. Even my own relatively modest income when a barrister (1991-2008), though sometimes (rarely, though, and expressed in the money of 2024) above £100,000 p.a., was often far far less (sometimes almost zero).

I do not think that many people will be sorry if the high-paid were to be restricted to a net income of, say, £200,000 p.a.

Unless, of course, the USA and EU take away Zelensky’s ricebowl and stop funnelling arms, ammo, and cash to Kiev. In that event, the war will grind to a halt in a few months.

Russia will prevail whatever is done or not done.

Israeli war crimes. Jewish terrorists.

Biden should not copy that. He would snuff it immediately.

When I had to leave behind (in France) almost my entire library of 2,000 or more books (in 2009, 14 years ago— long story), the loss felt catastrophic (and the books were not the whole of the story). Sometimes loss, whether voluntary or involuntary, cannot be avoided, and is a matter of Fate. Sometimes you have to stand before the blows of Fate, then move on, hardened in your resolve.

Strategically, what really challenges the Conservative Party is not that Israel-puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc might form an “elected dictatorship” for 4-5 years starting in 2024, but the fact that, at present, only 10% of those under 50 intend to vote Con. As for those under 30, I do not have the figure to hand, but it is something like 4%.

At the same time, very few of the ethnic minority voters, even Indians, are intending to vote Con; also the ethnic minorities, at present about 20% of the voting public, may soon be 25% or even 30%. A large minority of those under 18 in the UK are already non-white.

That means that, even in the next decade, unless something very big and unexpected happens, the Con Party vote will not even be at 20% (where it now is) but more like 10% or so. LibDem level. UKIP (2015) level. Reform UK level. That is when the Con Party will probably fade out, except for a few outposts here and there. Around 2030.

“…He emphasized that of all the countries of the European Union, Germany made the biggest contribution to Ukraine, and now it is the turn of others.“

The Zelensky regime is toast. Ukrainians outside Ukraine refuse to return to fight for the corrupt, brutal and shambolic dictatorship, and there are few Western mercenaries still fighting; most have returned to their home countries, or have been killed in action, or captured.

“I think that Israel has suffered major setbacks in this period, setbacks in Gaza, setbacks internally. The West Bank is on a knife edge. There are problems that are developing there.

The government had a vote against it in the Supreme Court by one vote. And then it now faces a court case in the Hague accusing it of genocide.

It desperately needs some sort of victory. It needs something to bring people together…This prompts people to want to try and find some military outlet that will provide some sort of semblance, some sort of idea of a success,” Alastair Crooke told #NewRulesPodcast.”

So about twice the number of children killed or mutilated by the (Israeli) Jews since the conflict (this time around) started, in early October 2023.

That seems to indicate that the population growth in Gaza is about (?) 4% per year. Something like that, anyway. If that is true of the Arab populations of the West Bank and elsewhere in and around Israel/Palestine, the Jewish population will eventually be demographically swamped, and then quite likely wiped out or driven out…

When I was first in Qatar, in 2001 (when it was a far more pleasant, sleepy place), the American presence was already strong. As I was being driven across the airport tarmac in a limousine (because I was flying back to London in First Class), I noticed, parked next to my Qatar Airways plane, the American “Air Force Two”, which was (I later discovered) carrying General Colin Powell.

Good grief. Look at that lunatic…

A Dutchman, of all things, “warning” that “we” (the populations of NATO member states) are “preparing for a war with Russia“.

It strikes me as odd, a Dutchman fomenting war in this way. After all, the Netherlands was last a major power in the 18thC, 250-300 years ago.

The Netherlands was neutral in the First World War, neutral for the first 8 months of the Second World War, and then was invaded in May of 1940, an operation which took the forces of the German Reich precisely 4 days, on the fourth day of which invasion the Dutch forces formally surrendered.

Post-WW2, the Dutch military record continued on its tarnished way, e.g. the abandonment of the Bosnian Muslim civilians at Srebrenica: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srebrenica_massacre#6%E2%80%9311_July_1995:_Serb_takeover_of_Srebrenica.

Now some jumped-up Dutch mariner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bauer] seems to be cheerleading for a war with Russia, which would devastate our continent and much of the rest of the world. Madness. The bastard even admits that our way of life would change out of all recognition, and that civilians would have to be conscripted!

There seems to be a sinister agenda here, promoting a false narrative according to which Russia wants to invade Central and Eastern Europe. It’s rubbish. Indeed, the opposite is the case.

The old Soviet Union gradually lost its expansionist ideology in the 1980s, and the post-Soviet Russia has no expansionist ideology akin to Leninism.

Russia is nationalist in a defensive way, and even the Ukraine war can be seen as defensive, as being within the old imperial boundaries that existed long before the revolutionary upheavals of 1917.

Let us be clear. If there is a NATO-Russia war, among the first countries to be entirely wiped out by nuclear attack would be the UK (because of the American and other bases here) and the smaller states of NATO in Europe. The Netherlands would have no chance.

The UK should join with Russia, but the secretive Zionist and Masonic cabals that rule this country from behind the scenes are completely against any such idea. They stand ready to sacrifice the people of the UK to their evil NWO/ZOG plans.

The most important thing for the future of the world is that a core of people of white European humanity survive and are able to repopulate the world after any such disaster; indeed not only to repopulate the world but also to create the racial-cultural basis for a future superculture.
