From 6 years ago

I happened to notice that a blog post written over 6 years ago, on New Year’s Eve 2019, had a few hits. On reading it myself for the first time since then I found that it has held up quite well:

Talking point

“Hitler did not share the ideas of his Austrian compatriot. He argued in his 1928 Secret Book that they are unfit for the future defence of Europe against America. As America fills its North American lebensraum, “the natural activist urge that is peculiar to young nations will turn outward.” But then “a pacifist-democratic pan-European hodgepodge state” would not be able to oppose the United States, as it is “according to the conception of that commonplace bastard, Coudenhove-Kalergi…”

[Wikipedia]

I quoted that in a blog post of 6 July 2019:

Destruction of Nature in England

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jan/21/judi-dench-backs-campaign-protect-london-green-spaces-from-developers

New research by CPRE London has found that at least nine parks, eight playing fields and eight nature reserves in London are at risk, including Whitewebbs Park in Enfield, Wimbledon Park, and Green Dale Fields in Southwark. After campaigning by CPRE London and local groups, six green spaces were saved last year, including the pitches at Finsbury leisure centre in Islington, but seven were lost, including Crossness nature reserve in Bexley.

Countryside campaigners have criticised the government for allowing development on the green belt in new plans and setting a “grey belt” policy that categorises some protected land as ripe for housing and infrastructure.

In Enfield, the local council has agreed to lease part of Whitewebbs Park to Tottenham Hotspur football club. It is also the site of an ancient oak that was felled by contractors last year, to public dismay.

Dench said: “Staggeringly, 10% of public land in Britain has been lost since 1979. Whitewebbs Park in Enfield is one of the public parks currently under threat. There, a 450-year-old oak tree was brutally butchered and Spurs’ plans to develop the park involve cutting down 207 trees, including veteran and mature trees, and taking over most of the park for their elite private use.

“It is clear to me that it is more important than ever to protect our parks and green spaces before it’s too late.

Disgraceful. One of the many bad things that have been happened in this regard in the UK, especially in England, over the past 30+ years, arguably 40+ years, is the proliferation of private housing development without planning authorities insisting upon green space left for Nature and local people. Parks, nature reserves, roadside trees and bushes.

Worth watching in full. A discussion involving the much-decorated and now-retired former commander of U.S. forces in Europe.

I remain sorry for all those people, and their companion animals, suffering as the war continues, but this is a war which Russia cannot and will not lose.

Neither side should be directly targeting civilians.

The Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev should either surrender, and leave Ukraine, or come to an agreement with Russia that leaves Russia with all territory presently held, as well as all the rest of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper).

Incidentally, the soup mentioned in that tweet is better known as borshch

I like borshch (without meat, and with smetana or sour cream); has been years since I had any, though.

Import Asians and you import Asia…

Similar but more dramatic than the other of today’s opinion polls. Would translate to a Commons with about 378 Reform MPs, 88 Labour, 58 LibDems, 42 SNP, 38 Cons, 11 Greens [etc].

That last tweeter, though, fails to see that Reform UK is now itself morphing into a System party…

I am of course completely against what F.D. Roosevelt did in the international arena, but compare his literate and weighty speeches and statements with those of Trump. Is further comment even necessary?

Stop all new mass immigration. Stop the boat invasion (whatever it takes). Start a steady programme to repatriate or otherwise remove non-Europeans from the UK and the rest of Europe. Eliminate foreign interference (especially from Israel and its agents) from the UK socio-political matrix. Start to help Nature to recover. Stop all cruelty and brutality to animals. Stop corruption of politicians and others. Start (in many many ways and via many many policies) to create a more just society and one where services and institutions work properly.

Well, there it is (for today, at least)…

Seems that the Devil really does wear Prada.

That photo of “Mark Lewis Lawyer” is at least 14 years out of date. These days, he can hardly walk, or think straight.

Dishonest and conspiratorial Jewish lawyers? Surely not…

No mention of the the Jew-Zionist/Israeli agent/fifth column element in that video, though…

Once again backs off. His controllers must have “had a word”…

Interesting. What are the sources? Are they reliable (if they exist)?

Somewhere between mad ignorance and self-parody.

We should not be helping either Israel or the fake states of the Gulf, and the USA has vast fleets, should it want to defend those people. We have our own problems anyway.

Germany

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/06/german-government-on-brink-of-collapse-after-olaf-scholz-sacks-finance-minister

The German government was left on the brink of collapse after the chancellor, Olaf Scholz, unexpectedly sacked his finance minister, plunging Europe’s largest economy into political disarray.

“The situation is serious,” Scholz added. “There is war in Europe, tensions are increasing in the Middle East. At the same time, our economy is stagnating.”

I could suggest something about certain parts of London (mostly North and North-West), but in view of the fact that free speech in the UK is all but dead (by reason of the activities of “a certain tribe”), I think that, today at least, I prefer to keep my views to myself.

Russia only wants Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper river) and the coastline across to and including Odessa.

Historically, what is now Western Ukraine (based on Lvov) has made several different rulerships, including both Russia and Austria-Hungary.

While Putin would probably prefer to take all of Ukraine, I think that he would accept a peace agreement with a Lvov-based rump Ukraine willing to be neutral in future. That used to be called, from 1945 to 2023, “Finlandization”, and worked quite well for everyone until, quite recently, the Finnish government went mad and joined NATO.

That is a good thing. America is at its best when it is isolationist.

October Revolution

7 November (in the Gregorian calendar) is the day on which, in the Soviet Union, was set aside to commemorate the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 (old-style, Julian calendar).

There were always parades in Moscow. I recall watching Soviet TV news in the old Channel 4 newsroom (then in the old ITN building in Wells Street, near Oxford Street) as a kind of guest, in 1984.

40 years ago, almost half a lifetime.

I recall it mainly because of the excellent picture quality on the satellite link; also because I had come directly from a tough afternoon taekwando session taught by a candidate-competitor black-belt destined for the 1988 Seoul Olympics (I don’t know whether he eventually went, though).

It was interesting to see people normally seen by me only on TV broadcasts. Peter Sissons, for one [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sissons]. I remember how surprised I was that he seemed rather fat when encountered in person.

When the Bolsheviks seized power from the Kerensky government in 1917, a tide of anger and unrest poured across, first Russia, then the rest of the world.

The history of the 20th Century was, to a large extent, the outcome of the fight against, or for Sovietism. The rise of National Socialism was also, to a large extent, the result of Bolshevism and the struggle to resist it. An Abwehr or “parrying”.

Even after the events of the Second World War, the subsequent “peace” revolved around the need in the West to “parry” Sovietism— the Yalta and other agreements, the Cold War, the “Finlandization” not only of Finland itself but also of Austria and Yugoslavia. The taking out of Central Europe, and the reduction of Europe into East and West.

Of course, Sovietism itself changed too, internally: Bolshevism and Leninism became Stalinism (with Trotskyist offshoots overseas), then post-Stalinist Sovietism under Khrushchev and his successors.

International revolution against finance-capitalist reaction became big-power and then superpower rivalry.

By the time I watched that 1984 TV news broadcast, the Cold War was still going strong, superficially, but the Soviet Union had only 5 years left. (Officially, the Soviet Union lasted until 1991, but it was dead by late 1989). It did not necessarily seem so at the time. The Dzerzhinsky Regiment (MVD troops) led that parade (the bit I saw), and the Soviet power still gave the impression of being fearsome. However, as a character notes in one of my favourite films, The Russia House, adaptation of a John le Carre novel, the Soviet knight was dying inside his armour.

Now we are in a rather different world. Still, after a 1989-2022 gap, the superpower rivalry is again there (if it ever went away), but this time as a conflation of a rump-Sovietism with a Great-Russian nationalism, bumping horns against an expansionist NATO led and ruled over by a USA which is, in effect, NWO/ZOG (New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government).

Where now? The front-lines of the conflict are in Ukraine (which the Western power wants to subsume into its sphere of influence) and, to a lesser extent, the Middle East.

Europe needs a new direction. So does Russia. The answer must be a Eurasian ethno-state, Europe joining loosely with Russia against the areas of the world which are comprised of peoples, in very broad terms, now the enemies of positive evolution.
