Vysotsky musings

I happened to find an old Vysotsky CD in the car. Playing it as I drove along, I found myself musing on Vysotsky. I was actually unaware, until I looked more closely at his Wikipedia profile, that he was half-Jew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Vysotsky#Early_life. Surprising, perhaps, in view of his occasional lampooning of Jewish types and/or accents in some of his songs.

When I got slightly involved with the Soviet and Russian milieu in the late 1970s and then 1980s (though only in and/or from the UK; I never went to the Soviet Union, and first visited Moscow only in 1993), it struck me rather unpleasantly what a decadent society had grown up in that part of the world. In particular, the excessive drinking of some Soviet citizens (mainly men) and also the heavy smoking (especially though not exclusively men). Not everywhere, certainly not everyone, but enough to rot the society from within. That, and corrosive cynicism.

Vysotsky was to some extent the personification of all that. That is not to take away from his great talent as a singer-songwriter, but that sort of unhealthy lifestyle was, in my view, a large part of the reason why the Soviet Union collapsed so completely so unexpectedly, just as its semi-toleration of underhand dealings, criminality, and (largely Jewish) underground business activity in the 1970s and 1980s led, in the post-collapse 1990s, to the glitzy tasteless Russia of the (mostly Jewish) “oligarchs” under Yeltsin and, to a lesser extent Putin, and to the gangsterism rampant in the 1990s (though far less so now).

Andropov was probably a highly unpleasant man, and extremely repressive, as well as possibly half-Jew (it is not certain), but I think that he saw the train coming down the tunnel at Soviet society, and decided to stop it. His unexpected death really sounded the death-knell of Sovietism.

I read a Daily Telegraph piece about “middle class” homeless people (i.e. people who had good jobs, decent houses or flats, and then didn’t). The article waxed eloquent about the pressure on social housing etc, but the words “immigration” and “migration” did not appear; not once.

As Hitler said of many during the Weimar Republic period, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“…

While FPTP voting would still be cheating Reform of nearly half of its potential seats under full proportional voting (156), those figures would give Reform about 95 seats, according to Electoral Calculus (Con 219, Lab 207, LibDem 67, Greens 6, SNP 22 etc). Thus Reform would be the “kingmaker”, though even then the Cons would have to agree with another party to get over the 326 line, or even the ~315 practical line.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

In fact, as Goodwin implies, the only factor that keeps the Cons even as high as 26% in the polls is the pensioner vote. That may reduce by 2029; we shall see. A result of Reform 26%, Con 24%, Lab 23% would result in a Commons with Lab 195, Con 174, Reform 149. Still unfair and illogical, but on that showing, Labour would be unable to form a government even with LibDem, SNP and Green support, whereas a Con-Reform coalition could, just about.

If Reform, Con, and Lab all got 25% (others as given), then the result would be Lab 245, Con 188, Reform 93, LibDem 69, SNP 22, Greens 6.

I myself tend to think that Reform’s star is waxing, but the others waning, so a result somewhere in the area(s) above is not unlikely, with 3 or even 4 parties having almost equal success.

Last night, Israel channel 11, the public broadcasting corporation (@kann_news) aired an alarming piece of investigative journalism. Extremist West Bank settlers, led by veteran lunatic Daniella Weiss, have raised millions, bought equipment and are creeping around the Gaza border, awaiting their chance to enter and start setting Gaza under the army’s wings and over the hostages’ bodies. The next phase of their plans is to drive out the Palestinians. They are a tiny minority in the Israeli public, but they have Smotrich and Ben Gvir in the cabinet. Also Netanyahu’s benevolent silence. This post, one of many, reads: “I watched the news story about the intention to settle in Gaza. This is outrageous on so many levels. The kibbutzim are still in ruins, the hostages are still dying in the tunnels, and the delusional settlers are already yearning to prey. Daniella Weiss raised 15 million in a donation campaign, they are preparing infrastructure, there are caravans ready for the signal. This madness must be stopped!

Looks as though the “neo-Nazis” and “anti-Semites” were right once again.

Until now, that was supposed to be yet another mere “conspiracy theory”…

The Israeli state and Jews from outside Israel, including the UK, are in effect copying what the Romans did after the defeat of original Carthage— destroying everything that existed prior to conquest, then resettling the area with others. In a word, genocide.

I have been blogging about this for years.

As I have repeatedly pointed out, even that is not the furthest extent of the crisis, in that even those mothers “born in the UK” are usually non-white now.

“White Genocide” by stealth.

It may be a trivial issue on the surface, but is it really of no interest that Starmer, Angela Rayner, Rachel Reeves etc all greedily took whatever was offered to them? Clothes, days out, restaurant visits, even new glasses…it goes to character and to basic mindset.

Whatever one may think of “Tommy Robinson” (and I myself consider him to be part of the “controlled opposition”, a kind of “Father Gapon” figure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgy_Gapon), he has, and makes, some good points. The above is one of them— a man of 61 chucked into one of England’s crumbling, dystopian prisons, and for doing almost nothing. Sub-Stalinist Britain.

There are several “groups” in the UK who must be eliminated. Let’s just leave it at that for the moment.

Simplistic, maybe, but correct in broad terms. Starmer, the Jewish-lobby puppet who went down on his knees for the fraudulent “Black Lives Matter” nonsense (alongside thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner).

Even leaving aside the “political crime” aspects, sentencing in this country is, ever-more obviously, “up the creek”.

Just yesterday, I read the account of the sentencing of a young woman who, incensed at the behaviour of a policewoman who had had an affair with her (the defendant’s) father, posted “revenge porn” of the policewoman all over the Internet, as well as abusing her: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13986469/Husband-police-officer-affair-sex-photos-revenge-wife.html

That was, of course, a very wrong thing to have done. It certainly deserved punishment, and quite likely a prison term, but the length of the term imposed is what struck me— 3 years!

Admittedly, as things are, that means that the convicted defendant will serve “only” about 13-14 months, but surely, in all the circumstances, a 20-month term or even a 10-month term would have been sufficient (meaning that the defendant would serve 8 or 4 months). Still unpleasant for her, and still sending a message to others etc.

There is routine over-sentencing in this country, but that is, I concede, combined with under-sentencing for many others, e.g. some people who attack others violently, yet get suspended sentences.

I might add a few well-chosen words, but anything I might say would probably result (via “the usual suspects”) in the poundshop Stasi “thought police” being a nuisance and an inconvenience, and boring me at my door (yet again)…

diversity is our strength!”…oh, no, wait…

Talking points, and thoughts out of season

It is, arguably, human nature to want to see one’s enemies eliminated. For example, if one has been harassed by some malicious nuisances for years, and they all, or some of them, start to “snuff it”, one tends to feel happy.

Now, we all know, in theory at least, that all human individual lives are limited in duration. A year, 10 years, 50 years, the “Biblical” 70 years or, in a relatively few cases, 100 years. We know that we ourselves are “in the same condemnation” as the Revelation of St. John the Divine puts it (if I recall aright). Yet we are pleased that our persecutors and other enemies die before we ourselves do.

I suppose that many will say that that is wrongheaded, but it is, au fond, human. After all, those who kill on the battlefield are trying, putting it in the most basic terms, to kill the enemy and also to avoid being killed by the enemy; that despite the fact that those adherent to both sides in a battle will die, if not on the day of battle, then the next day, the next month, the next year, or in x-years’ time.

Arjuna was advised by Krishna, on the eve of battle, and when Arjuna was having conscience-stricken thoughts, that he (Arjuna) must not avoid doing his duty on the field of Kurukshetra. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita.

Evolution requires that we do what is necessary to further, or to fulfil, it.

Pine martens

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/01/pine-martens-return-to-dartmoor-after-150-year-absence

Pine martens return to Dartmoor after 150-year absence.

Fifteen of the nimble, tree-climbing mammals were released last month at secret locations in Devon.

Fifteen pine martens are darting through the woods of Dartmoor for the first time in 150 years after the rare but recovering species was reintroduced into south-west England.

The nimble, tree-climbing mustelids were released last month at secret locations in the steep, tree-lined valleys of Devon in what conservationists are hailing as a historic step in the restoration of the region’s woodlands.

“We haven’t had pine martens here for 150 years, and to see them moving out into this landscape to explore it and find their way is really exciting,” said Ed Parr Ferris, conservation manager at Devon Wildlife Trust, which is leading a partnership of seven conservation organisations returning the marten to south-west England.

The eight adult females and seven males were caught from resurgent populations in Scotland, meticulously checked for health, and driven to 10 woodland pens, where they were released under the cover of darkness well away from people and busy roads. The threat of road traffic is a big risk for the mostly nocturnal animals.

Fitted with GPS or radio tags depending on their size (lighter radio tags were used on the smaller individuals), the animals were fed in the pens for three days to acclimatise, before the doors were opened and the martens slipped away into the night.

Pine martens were driven to extinction in England at the turn of the 20th century by the loss of forests and persecution, with gamekeepers in particular targeting the animals for preying upon pheasants and poultry.

Iranian attack on Israel

Puzzling to an observer. It seems that the attack was mostly if not entirely on military targets. The Israelis are keeping the scale of the damage secret. I had thought that there would be a large number of civilian casualties (as when the Israelis attack Lebanon, Gaza, Syria etc) but it seems that hardly any Israelis have been killed or even injured.

I have seen no indication of whether the Dimona nuclear weapons plant was hit.

Likewise, it seems odd that the main international airport suffered no, or no substantial, damage. I should have thought that that would have been a priority target.

Looking on from outside, it is hard to fully understand both the overall situation and the details, such as how many rockets (and of what type) Iranian forces have; likewise on the Israeli side.

All one can do is to keep looking out for news.

Having said that, the other three candidates are also bad jokes: a Nigerian woman married to a banker of uncertain provenance; a part-Jew former “chocolate soldier”; a dishonest and corrupt moneygrubber married to a Jewish woman lawyer. All three vocally pro-Israel.

At least Cleverly is rather less vocal in his support for Israel and the Jewish lobby.

I suppose that most scribblers and msm talking heads are expecting the Conservative Party to revive as Starmer’s hopeless government continues to falter (after only 3 months), but that may not happen.

For me, the most telling aspect of GE 2024 is that, in broad terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote at all. Beyond that, out of the 12 that did vote, only 4 voted “Labour”, only 3 voted “Conservative”, and then 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 (just about) voted Green.

At present, the underwhelming Reform UK is the only game in town in terms of becoming an unofficial populist Opposition. The LibDems are just beneficiaries of a ridiculously illogical voting system. The “don’t know how to vote so vote LibDem” party.

None of the 4 contenders for Conservative Party leadership are really of any importance; none —say I— will ever be Prime Minister.

That is, in part, because the msm-trumpeted “Labour landslide” was a fake anyway— only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour.

Still, one has to admit that, for a woman who got “knocked-up” at 16, and who has really no substantial educational or work background, let alone cultural depth, Angela Rayner really has hit the Lotto in terms of careerism. “Deputy Prime Minister”, no less…

As frequently blogged previously, Starmer-Labour is “Blair-Brown New Labour Mark 2” but, in Marx’s words, “first time tragedy, second time farce“…

“New Labour” did various things, implemented various policies, mostly wrongheaded in either conception or implementation, or funding, or all three, but it was at least attempting to do things, to solve perceived problems.

I always had the impression about Starmer-Labour, even before it took over the reins of power, that it merely wanted to be in government, but had no real programme (a bit like Cameron-Levita’s government).

Brainless-seeming woman, “full-time carer” and “mum of five“, attending Labour Party Conference, and loving both thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity-hire” David Lammy and the Ukrainian thug who is the current ambassador of the Kiev regime in the UK.

The UK msm is not much reporting the war in Ukraine at present. That probably means that Russian forces continue to advance, particularly in the Donetsk region.

Military briefing: Russia ‘overwhelms’ Ukrainian forces on eastern front.”

[https://www.ft.com/content/b4baf76b-294d-496e-8e51-7ed1b8b0e6ca]

A long and interesting report from the Financial Times, from a correspondent presently in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, almost on the front-line, and the report published only 7 hours ago.

Looks as if the situation in that region of Eastern Ukraine is at a tipping point. Russian forces will soon prevail, precipitating a strategic withdrawal or even rout of Kiev-regime forces, and a huge strategic advantage for the Russian side.

Once the Kiev-regime incursion in the Kursk region of Russia, by north-eastern Ukraine, falters and fails, as seems inevitable, the Russian Stavka (high command) will be able to transfer thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of battle-hardened troops back to the Donetsk region front, thus further pressuring the Kiev-regime forces there.

One must feel sorry for those hapless Kiev-regime soldiers, sent to fight, inadequately trained, under poor field commanders and poor strategists, for the Jewish-Zionist regime in Kiev, all under cover of a fake “Ukrainian nationalism” which is merely doing the will of foreign NWO/ZOG cabals.

War is hell, of course, and in some respects becoming ever more hellish now that drones dominate the infantry battlefield, with robot tanks and robot soldiers probably not far down the line.

No dissent allowed. Young heckler grabbed by his throat by Labour goons, and hustled out, getting roughed-up a bit (even where the cameras are filming).

Actually, look at the audience. Despite much said about Labour and “youth”, most of that audience of Labour loyalists consists of grey-haired and white-haired people, especially on the tiers at the back and sides of the hall.

A pretty small audience, too, compared to the Labour conferences of the past (1970s, 1980s).

Of course, in the past, the major Labour figures had weight, and some of them (Denis Healey, Harold Wilson, Michael Foot, Roy Jenkins etc) had genuine intellectual depth. Not that I agreed with much of what they had to say, but they were not dummies, not even that old humbug and hypocrite Michael Foot.

Now look at the top Labour-label idiots! Starmer is the one-eyed man in the country of the blind, and they therefore made him “king for a day”. Angela Rayner (need one say more?). Rachel Reeves. David Lammy, that deadhead…(etc). Shockingly low-quality.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13881251/Israel-conflict-Middle-East-enemies-killing-180-Hezbollah-strikes-Lebanon.html

Israel’s ‘war on five fronts’: How Jewish state faces all-out conflict against its Middle Eastern enemies after ‘killing hundreds’ in latest Hezbollah strikes as Lebanon accuses it of carrying out an ‘extermination’.

Israel intensified the conflict in the Middle East to new levels today, killing more than 180 people in Lebanon in the latest attacks since military officials declared a ‘new phase’ of war against Hezbollah had begun last week.

On Tuesday, Mossad is thought to have orchestrated one of the most psychologically damaging clandestine attacks in recent memory, injuring thousands of Hezbollah members with exploding pagers and radios across two days.

Then on Friday, the IDF delivered a punishing strike that eliminated a top Hezbollah commander along with some 37 other militiamen and civilians, before continuing aerial bombardments over the weekend and into this morning. 

Hezbollah in 2006 reportedly had some 15,000 rockets in its arsenal, ‘but more recent unofficial estimates suggest this number has multiplied by almost 10 times,’ said Dina Arakji, associate analyst at UK-based risk consultancy firm Control Risks.

Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) corroborates that assessment, estimating that the group’s arsenal counts 150,000 to 200,000 rockets, including ‘hundreds’ of precision missiles and thousands of drones.

Hezbollah also boasts a range of anti-tank and anti-air systems, a fleet of thousands of drones, and dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles, and claims to have up to 100,000 active fighters – though INSS estimates the number is more likely 25,000 to 50,000.

And, like Hamas, Hezbollah has an extensive tunnel network along the Lebanese-Israeli border which serves as a strategic asset for clandestine movement, storage, and guerrilla warfare

While Jerusalem would assuredly emerge victorious thanks to its technological capabilities and raw numeric advantage in terms of firepower and manpower, Hezbollah would be able to inflict massive damage.

Its terrifying missile and drone arsenal is large enough to quickly overwhelm Israel’s air defences if deployed in earnest, and the thousands upon thousands of Hezbollah fighters that could stream into northern Israel would be continuously supported by well-established air and ground supply routes from its chief backer Iran via Iraq and Syria.

The Islamic Republic has thousands upon thousands of long-range and precision-guided missiles alongside hundreds of thousands of mid-range cruise missiles.

This appears to be the worst-case scenario feared by Israeli defence experts – a coordinated attack in which Iran, Hezbollah and other allies launch wave after wave of missile and drone strikes that overwhelm Israel’s air defences and devastate towns and cities. 

But many analysts say that terrifying prospect is unlikely…

…some prominent Israeli officials – including grizzled IDF veterans – warn that Jerusalem’s pursuit of further hostilities could push the Axis of Resistance a step too far. 

Itzhak Brik, a former Major General in the IDF, told the Jerusalem Post that a full-scale war with Iran and its proxies could ultimately result in the destruction of the state of Israel.

Iran and its proxies have 250,000 missiles, rockets, and drones encircling Israel, which means about 4,000 munitions hitting the Israeli home front on a daily basis.

Population centres, Haifa Bay, water and electricity facilities, gas fields [in the Mediterranean Sea], IDF bases, and strategic civilian infrastructure… A regional war can ruin the State of Israel,’ he concluded.

The sheer sickness of the present society is exposed when some thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity-hire” such as David Lammy is an MP, and now even a Cabinet minister, and is on TV politics shows, while at the same time someone such as me is either ignored or is treated as a political criminal. It’s just ridiculous, a bad joke.

Ecce “your” (Starmer’s) Foreign Secretary…

With the “Conservative” Party as good as dead, and with fake “Labour” already, after only 2 months in office, crashing and burning, it is not impossible that, failing the emergence of a real social-national movement, desperate voters will have only Reform UK for which to vote in 2029 or 2028.

Those hundreds of “diverse” “Labour”-label idiots presently in the Commons will then die off like flies in Autumn.

The David Morgan Twitter/X account is one of the most worthwhile of those dealing with certain problems head-on. Those with a Twitter/X account will find his material of interest should they follow it.

Morgan, however, must —and probably does— realize that many types of people suffered both before and during the Second World War (and in the mid/late 1940s, after it ended). In most cases, not at the hands of National Socialist Germany (contrary to that which “the usual suspects” tend to say).

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/sep/21/honeymoon-over-keir-starmer-now-less-popular-than-rishi-sunak

Keir Starmer has suffered a precipitous fall in his personal ratings since winning the election, according to a new poll for the Observer that comes before his first Labour conference as prime minister.

The latest Opinium poll reveals that Starmer’s approval rating has plunged below that of the Tory leader Rishi Sunak, suffering a huge 45-point drop since July. While 24% of voters approve of the job he is doing, 50% disapprove, giving him a net rating of -26%. Sunak’s net rating is one point better.

In a troubling assessment of the government’s opening months, only 27% think it has so far been a success, while 57% think it has not been successful. Even a third (32%) of those who voted for Labour at the last election believe the government has not been a success in its opening two months. Labour is seen as focusing too much on the government’s fiscal position when the public want them to focus on growing the economy.

James Crouch, head of policy and public affairs at Opinium said: “While the prime minister might have a world-beating new wardrobe, voters are refusing to wear his government’s austerity drive.

Labour are so bad it’s hard to keep up. It’s not just the sleaze. You expect greed galore from grabbing socialists. No. It’s the sheer bovine stupidity. Ok, you expect that too – but never in my wildest dreams could I have foreseen this utter sh*tshow. I almost feel guilty for enjoying it so much. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s deadly serious. They’re freezing pensioners, sucking up to unions, gendering kids, bowing to Islamists. They’re crashing the plane into the f*cking mountain. We have to think about what will replace them.

So thick-as-two-short-planks “Deputy Prime Minister” Angela Rayner took “a friend” on her freebie break in Manhattan, as well as going (on another freebie break?) to Ibiza, where she made the UK a laughing stock by her vulgar antics in the so-called “VIP area” of a noisy horrible nightclub of some sort? (at age 44).

For someone of her overall background [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Rayner], she must think that she has hit the lottery.

Very true, but that should not be used as a reason or excuse to vandalize the English countryside with tracts of boring, poorly-designed and ugly housing, with inadequate infrastructure (a fortiori, if that housing is destined to be used as hutches for migrant-invaders).

Incidentally, I recall friends of mine talking about Scruton when he first started to become “famous” in the 1980s. He had at one time bicycled quite regularly to their home from his job one and a half miles away at Goldsmiths’ College, though his main position was at Birkbeck [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldsmiths,_University_of_London; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkbeck,_University_of_London], in order to discuss philosophy, politics, religion etc.

Sadly, when said friends were featured in a national newspaper gossip piece about him (meaning, about Scruton hobnobbing with people having radical “neo-fascist” political connections), Scruton decided to cut them from his acquaintances for reasons of careerism.

Scruton was a very influential academic later in his career, and published over 50 books which were translated into many languages, especially in Eastern and Central Europe (I myself recall seeing an entire bookshop window of Scruton’s works in Czech in the Old Town of Prague in 1999). Scruton, though, was fatally flawed by his wish to make money.

All that and also a member of Labour Friends of Israel…[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Reeves#Israel_and_Palestine].

Rachel Reeves and Starmer have, they say, “no money” to keep pensioners warm this winter (or in those to come) but there’s money aplenty to throw away and waste on the “Ukrainian” Jewish regime in Kiev, on the rulers of dozens of African and other “nations”, and on sheltering and feeding and giving pocket-money to millions of migrant-invaders who should not even be here.

Bearing in mind that only 4 out of 12 voting voters (4 out of 20 eligible) actually voted for Labour anyway, that is pretty damning, and much less than 3 months in.

Migrant-invaders. At best— useless parasites; at worst— criminals and/or terrorists.

Anyone supporting this invasion is, in a very real sense, a traitor to the British people and to all European people— and the future.

707. In a single day. All will now be housed, fed, given money, given medical and dental services, given other services etc by the “government”, i.e. out of the pockets of the British people. About £200 per day each. Maybe more. So at least £140,000 per day, just for today’s consignment of riff-raff.

Meanwhile, Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment and “elected” dictatorship is throwing billions at “Ukraine” (the Jewish regime in Kiev), at African and Asian wastes of space, at all sorts of nonsense, and is cheating all British people, especially pensioners but also, down the line, the middle-aged and young (deprived of a decent future).

Well, a good week— 9/10, thus trumping the 6.5/10 claimed by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answer to question 7.

Talking point

Not just “illegal” migration-invasion (which is only 5%-10% of all immigration into the UK).

For someone such as John Rentoul, the political landscape is effectively unchanging. There will, he imagines, always be a “Conservative” Party, a “Labour” Party and a can’t-decide “dustbin” party (LibDems). There will, he thinks, never be radical or revolutionary change in the UK.

For the John Rentouls of this world, mass immigration is good or at least OK, and it is mainly beneficial, with a few small problems along the way. After all, in Hampstead and Highgate (socio-political) hurricanes hardly ever happen…

Rentoul voted twice for “Boris”-idiot to become Mayor of London: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rentoul. ‘Nuff said…

Meanwhile, in the real world…

The Westminster Bubble journalists such as John Rentoul seem to have missed the main point about GE 2024, i.e. that “Labour”-label did not “win”; the “Conservative” Party lost, and it lost because the voters wanted to bin it. Labour’s fake “landslide” was merely an unavoidable by-product of that, as was the non-existent (despite the huge increase in seats) “LibDem upsurge”.

In reality, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote (because there was no party they felt able to support, mainly). Of the remaining 12 that did vote, only 4 voted Labour, and many of those did so not because they really supported Labour but because they wanted to stamp on the last 14 years of “Conservative” misgovernment. Also, 3 of the 12 voted Con, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and (almost) 1 voted Green.

My point here is that voters voted primarily to bin the Cons.

Rentoul and his type are assuming that if, in 2028 or 2029, the voters want to bin Lab, they will revert to voting Con. Maybe not. Maybe they will, even if not much convinced, turn to Reform UK, whatever its flaws.

Look at that Techne UK poll. Both Lab and Con down 2 or 3 points, but Reform UK up 3 points. It is not improbable to imagine Reform UK getting 20% of the vote, and 25% is not impossible.

Hung Parliament territory, with the existing FPTP voting system.

What if the population were to turn like a school of fish, and 30% were to vote Reform UK? Still hung Parliament, but with Reform UK challenging Labour for the position of being largest party in the Commons.

Naturally, I could only support (or lead) a social-national party, and Reform UK is far from being that, but one can see that events (particularly the catastrophic and continuing migration invasion) may propel Reform UK higher over the next few years, and that will move —has already moved— the “Overton window”. Next stop— social nationalism.

“Following weeks of criticism Starmer, Reeve’s and Rayner have just said they will no longer accept freebie clothes. Just reread that. Unbelievable statement considering all the criticism they piled on Boris and co. Such bloody hypocrites. Nobody knew about Reeves and Rayner having kept schtum as Starmer had to admit he took free suits and wife Victoria took free dresses from Labour donor Lord Alli. The public will not forget. This is already a wounded government. All on the take. Starmer led the way. Increasingly unlikely he will survive.”

The present rabble are just another face of the overall System, just like “Boris”-idiot, Sunak, Truss etc. No real difference, just different aesthetics.

Looking back on my blog posts (re. Starmer, going back several years now), I think that I can claim to have been the first, or one of the first, to see what was coming down the line (as with “Boris”-idiot).

The sheer ineptitude does not surprise, in fact, though the very early and very public unmasking of Starmer (as unfit to be Prime Minister) does. I thought it would take longer for his deficiencies to become apparent.

The Times reports that it’s now more expensive to power an electric car than to run a petrol or diesel vehicle.

Stats show using a public rapid charger cost 24.1p per mile, 16.4p for the slower public charger compared with 14.5p for petrol and 12.5p for diesel.

Homes which have a home charger are in much better shape due to dramatically cheaper electric meaning the journey will be between 2p to 7p a mile. But in cities three quarters of tenants and residents live in flats and terraces and therefore can’t have a home charging unit fitted and will have to use public chargers. This will turn out to be a big political issue as people will simply refuse to buy electric cars. The good news is that Ed Miliband will lose his job.

Electric car sales have stalled in the UK and fallen by 44% across Europe. The Times worked out that a London to Penzance return powered by super charger will be £148 compared with petrol at £89.”

Diary Blog, 17 August 2024, with thoughts about David Starkey, dissidence, free speech

Morning music

[Knightsbridge, 1930s]

Saturday quiz

A poor week. I scored only the same as political journalist John Rentoul— 3/10. I knew only the answers to questions 1, 2, and 5; had I thought a bit more, I should also have recalled no. 9 and no. 10.

Talking point

As David Starkey says, Starmer is (along with others and, particularly but not exclusively, in “the party formerly known as Labour”) attempting to institute a kind of “woke” and multikulti police state.

Where I differ from Starkey is in having no faith in the idea that a different ethos of national identity can suddenly emerge or be fostered, not without a homogenous population. The UK population is going the other way, becoming ever-more heterogenous, and spinning out of control.

I also differ from Starkey in that he thinks, or hopes, that, if he or someone else puts forward a reasoned and reasonable argument, eventually people will accept the propositions put forward. The credo of the traditional or classical academic.

All very well, as far as it goes, but Mao put forward the credo of Realpolitik, that is “political power comes out of the barrel of a gun“.

Not that that I agree wholeheartedly with that Maoist quotation either. The —by any other name— “revolution” in the DDR/East Germany in 1989 was not violent. There were vast, though peaceful, demonstrations in several major DDR cities (Dresden, Leipzig etc). The Lutheran Church was part of all that.

The East German state was still arresting some dissidents even in 1989, but the heart had gone. I recall the strange feeling I had when spending a couple of days in the DDR in 1988. Like a stage set of a state rather than a real one, an impression made stronger by the seemingly almost-depopulated southern parts of East Germany through which I travelled by car. I have blogged once or twice previously about my impressions of the place(s).

As a matter of fact, the slightly contrived “revolutions” of the late 1980s in Romania, Czechoslovakia etc were mainly non-violent, as they were in the pribaltika (Baltic states). I myself saw Czechoslovakia briefly in 1988, just before it all happened, and was in Poland several times in 1988 and 1989.

In Poland, even in 1988, one got the impression that the state there was going through the motions of being a “socialist” state but that, just under the surface, the whole population, pretty much, was “dissident” in one way or another; a kind of vast, non-violent anti-socialist conspiracy of a whole people.

Even in the Soviet Union, a huge “revolution” happened over several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, mostly though not entirely peaceful, and including (as in Romania and elsewhere) many elements of the socialist-state structure.

Starkey is or was a Conservative, politically. He seems at least slightly taken with Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick. Why? The first is a Nigerian (though born in London) and so, in my opinion, unfitted by that fact alone to be a British political leader, let alone Prime Minister. I have, also, never heard anything worthwhile from her.

As to Jenrick, I have several problems with him too. He appears to be at least partly English, but his full provenance is not in the public domain; at least, I myself have never seen it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jenrick#Early_life_and_non-political_career.

Born 1982, qualified late as solicitor, aged 26, but was in legal practice for only about 4 years (with two of the leading American law firms, sequentially; presumably quite junior), and was then (somehow; how?) a director of Christie’s auctioneers (though only until he became an MP a few months later).

Jenrick’s provenance interests me. It also disquiets.

Jenrick, yet another member of Conservative Friends of Israel, is tied up with Jewish businessmen and property-developer sharks, and pushed for the ruination of the small park by the Palace of Westminster by the proposed construction of a hugely-ugly “holocaust” “memorial” and propaganda centre.

In addition, Jenrick ordered, as minister for immigration, murals for children of migrant-invaders to be painted over because the colourful murals might give them pleasure and comfort.

No-one, I think, could accuse me of being either pro-immigration or in favour of granting privileges to migrant-invaders, but that mean-spirited targeting of any small children of such invaders by Jenrick felt morally wrong to me.

Like Starmer, Jenrick is married to a Jewish woman and has had children with her.

Jenrick just feels wrong to me. He’s a bad apple.

As to the Starkey interview, while I can agree with much of what he says there, he is too much in the ivory tower in the end.

Ironically, for someone “cancelled” by the System for making “racist” remarks, he seems to me insufficiently so. How does he imagine this country will recover in the way that he hopes when 20% of the population is already non-European, and with another ~million coming in every year at present? Make that, conservatively, about a 2% increase annually.

It seems to me that Starkey knows in his heart that I am right (even if, as is quite likely, he has never heard of me), but fears to say so; don’t forget that he “apologized” and tried to retract after he was “cancelled”. Never pretend to apologize to either the mob or to “them” (((them))).

The video is worth watching, though.

Further talking points

Good grief.

Listen to that “muppet” (on the second video clip), one Benjamin Butterworth. Complete idiot. Complete traitor to this country’s people and their future, too. Former (?) Chairman of Young Labour (in London). Scribbled a few times for the Guardian some years ago, apparently. https://www.theguardian.com/profile/benjamin-butterworth.

Poor thinking skills. Very poor, in fact. A fanatic, but one with nothing of interest to say. Claims that “legal immigrants” (the vast majority of all immigrants) all “come into the country with a job“. A straight lie. Huge numbers enter as supposed “fiances”, “fiancees”, “spouses”, “students”, “family members”, “asylum seekers” etc; and even those supposedly entering “with a job” (on work visas) are often not bona fide at all.

I fear that much of Starmer’s strongest support comes from semi-educated and anti-British fanatics of that sort.

I rather think that GB News had that Butterworth on because they knew that he would create a kind of petty storm among the discussion panel.

Interesting to note that the msm always applauds “resistance” (including violent “resistance”) in, for example, historically, the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, Italy, Spain, and in various other parts of the world; in South America, even in contemporary North America and Europe, so long as Jews, non-whites, or sometimes Communist partisans, are doing the various forms of “protest”, but as soon as contemporary white people do the same, they must, apparently, be shut down, “cancelled”, even prosecuted and, indeed, even imprisoned. Not even because they have been violent, in fact. Look at Jez Turner, imprisoned for making a speech, Alison Chabloz, for singing satirical songs and posting cartoons; more recently, Sam Melia, for having published stickers the subject-matter of which was not even unlawful.

Remember “two-tier Keir” and thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner being photographed literally “taking the knee” (bowing down before) the fraudulent “Black Lives Matter” nonsense?

Carol Vorderman thinks that Nigel Farage is a snake-oil salesman. Well, not much argument from me on that, but wait until La Vorderman discovers the truth about Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves etc…

Of course, the main reason that Farage recently distanced himself from the English protests, and especially their riotous offshoots, was because he does not want OFCOM to pressure GB News to cut off his work (and money).

Well, I certainly hear what tweeter Paul Embery is saying there, but look at the alternative— Kamala Harris, a hugely-ignorant non-white who will be but a figurehead while the “Deep State” around her, and really running the show, foments war with Russia, a war they think they can “win” but which —if it happens— will leave Europe, as well as North America and European Russia, in irradiated ruins.

Dead men walking looting.

The only question is whether Putin will simply utilize conventional military methods to push the Kiev-regime forces out of that part of the Kursk region which they have recently invaded, or whether he will do something entirely unexpected by the Western msm, such as use very powerful bombs and missiles (even tactical nuclear ones) to blast clear the whole of the occupied area. There is an outside chance that he might even launch a massive air bombardment on Kharkov or even Kiev.

Whatever the Russian response is, the Kiev-regime forces will be unable to hold the recently-invaded territory. Zelensky himself has admitted as much, though saying that Kiev “is not interested” in doing so. If that is so, why invade that territory in the first place? Clearly, as a public relations exercise to keep Western arms and money flowing in.

Meanwhile, in the Donbass region to the south, Russian forces are steadily advancing at present. About a mile per day. Not spectacular, but the Kiev-regime forces, short of —most of all— soldiers, will have no chance of regaining those areas, or of stopping the Russian advance, all the more so now that some of the better Ukrainian detachments have been re-deployed to assist with the Kursk incursion.

Life in remote Western Siberia

A simple and, in many respects, hard life. Not completely isolated, though. I see that they seem to have electricity (“Socialism means Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country“— Lenin) , and that their milk comes from a carton rather than from their one cow.

The old lady is cooking (I think) manti [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manti_(food)] or pelmeni [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelmeni], foods quite similar inter se, and not dissimilar to ravioli. Cuisine is not really my forte, so I had better say no more. As for what she is frying, maybe cubes of bacon, maybe pork fat.

The old man is seen mending his fishing traps (there is a nearby small river).

Retired people in Russia now get a pension of about £200 a month. Not much (under Yeltsin, it was only about £25, and not always paid), but it must go quite far in a Siberian village. Milk, tea, bread, flour etc.

It occurs to me that, were the world to be hit by nuclear war, and depending on how severe that would be, people of that type might survive better than those who live, as most of us do, in Western (or Russian) cities, towns, suburbs, or partly-suburbanized countryside.

Already, people who have nothing to do with “terrorism” (even taking the term at face value) are being snooped upon and sometimes raided by the police, under (some of them) their new-ish Stasi-lite grand title of “the Anti-Terror Command”. I think that even the satirical singer and entertainer Alison Chabloz was arrested by them one day, several years ago.

Former Pentagon Analyst: Ukraine Simply Cannot Win, and F-16s Will Be Destroyed on the Ground

Ukraine and its Western partners have no military strategy in the conflict with Russia, former Pentagon analyst Karen Kwiatkowski notes on Judging Freedom.

According to her, Ukraine is fundamentally incapable of winning — and no F-16s will change that: they will be hit not even in the sky, but at their parking spots.

Ash Sarkar is put forward as the articulate voice of the (in her case, second-generation) non-European living in the UK. The fact is that, even taking her at face value, she is an example of maybe one out of every hundred if not thousand.

“Out there” on the streets, Britain is becoming a multikulti dustbin, full of those who are not British in any real sense, and not a few who are little more than semi-savages.

Incidentally, many will know of that Basu bastard (now only a former policeman), who is sometimes quoted on TV or in the lying Press as an “expert” on “extremism”, “terrorism” etc, and who, risibly, was apparently the UK’s chief of (police) counter-intelligence. He is often spouting nonsense about how almost everything “far right” etc must be repressed. Another supporter of the upcoming (unless stopped) multikulti “woke” police state.

See also my piece from about 6 years ago about the tendency to a police state in the UK, that even then was coming out into the open:

Quite. Out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 did not vote. Of the 12 that did, 4 voted Labour, 3 Conservative, 2 Reform UK, 2 LibDem, and 1 Green.

The regime of “two-tier Keir” has no legitimacy, no mandate. If the courts and general legal and justice system are not exercizing their proper independence, but are simply obeying the purported diktats of “two-tier Keir” and that bureaucrat-drone who seems to be the new Director of Public Prosecutions, then the courts themselves have no legitimacy.

I can’t stomach these MPs gloating about incredibly young men being locked” up for years

These are lads who feel utterly powerless and disenfranchised, raised in a system that’s taught them they have nothing and can never accumulate anything.

During the Black Lives Matter protests, left-wing commentators argued that protest, vandalism, and even violence were necessary to highlight injustice. I disagreed then, and I do now, but where are those voices today?

There IS an obvious injustice: the British working class has been maligned, slandered, ignored, fobbed off, and lied to for a generation. They can’t buy a house, their kids are in overcrowded classrooms, and they watch as illegal migrants get private accommodation for free. How is that not something to be angry about?

Our political class prioritizes everyone else’s interests over theirs. These politicians are clueless about the real struggles these young men face.

Abandoned, left to fend for themselves, and when they finally lash out, we throw away the key. It’s disgraceful. Instead of addressing the root causes of their anger, they fan the flames, and believe me, they’re not alone in their fury.

Readers may be surprised to see me repost tweets from now-binned former MP [High Peak], Robert Largan, a conscious tool of the Jewish lobby, but I certainly agree with him about the necessity for architecture to be both beautiful and functional.

I have not been to Dresden, though I was once, in 1988, not far away. As to Manchester, I appeared a few times c.2007 as Counsel at the County Court, at that time situated at Crown Square; I believe that the Crown Court still sits there.

I have, once only, seen Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester, but that was even earlier, sometime in the mid-1980s, maybe 1985 or 1986, when the Georgian State Dance ensemble was performing in and around the city (they also went to Preston). The dancers, stage people, interpreters, KGB, and me (unpaid, and uncredited in any way) were all staying in a fairly ghastly hotel called the Britannia, not far from those Gardens (not even a park, but just a flat area of grass, with a few very low and scrubby hedges). I wandered down to pass the time one early evening. Once was enough.

Incidentally, I also saw the Manchester Royal Infirmary, the main hospital, because one of the Georgian dancers had cut his hand right down to the bone as he and others were practising with their swords (part of their spectacular dance act). The swords were razor-sharp, sharpened daily in order to create the sparks that flew during the performance.

The interpreters, including my then girlfriend, were all busy with the performance that evening, so I was asked to accompany the dancer (who only spoke Georgian and Russian, no English) to the hospital in a taxi.

At the hospital, I tried to have him seen to at once (there was a lot of waiting around), and I think we were seen slightly ahead of time, though not soon enough for the Georgian, who though pleasant had the impatience typical of his countrymen. The nurses (if my memory serves) were both pretty and pleasant, as well as efficient (once deployed). So the Georgian survived to fight (onstage) again, and indeed I believe he was the one chosen to meet Mrs. Thatcher when she visited either Moscow or Tbilisi (I think the latter) in a later year.

Those dancers certainly put on a superb show (which I saw for free in Manchester, Preston and some other places). The women in their long costumes seemed to glide rather than walk or dance.

A long time ago now, nearly 40 years…

Largan’s comment also refers to the recent statement by thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner, re. Starmer-Labour’s apparent intent to build millions of ugly hutches, in the once green and pleasant countryside, in which to stable migrant-invaders.

MSM lies

So a narrative has been created and is spreading out across mainstream media. I saw it this morning on both BBC News and Sky News.

The narrative goes something like this: “a tiny group of ‘far-right’ social media influencers incited a larger group — but still a tiny proportion of the population— to smash things, to riot, and to express ‘hate’ against non-whites and especially Muslims, but ‘the community’ gathered in huge numbers to beat off their attempts to sow ‘division’.

In reality, there were fairly large gatherings here and there in protest against what has been happening in the UK, especially as regards migration-invasion, and especially what has been developing in the large cities, over the last 30 years. A much smaller group of silly people went further, looting shops and playing into the hands of the System, which then went into “police state” dictatorial mode. “Useful idiots” also started to demand the shutdown of all free speech platforms, such as Twitter/X.

At the same time, the BBC and Sky started to show a Soviet-style melange of grey-haired people in churches praying for “peace”, and a few large crowds of supposed “antifascists” (posing as “the real citizens” etc).

London has a Metro-area population of 15M, so a crowd of 5,000 or even 15,000 is really a very small percentage, not even a tenth of 1%. In reality, it seems that even the largest “counter-protest” (at Walthamstow in N.E. London) consisted of only about 1,000 persons, many from elsewhere: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c623g0xnrero.

The photo from Brighton, below, seems to show an enormous crowd of “counter-protesters”, but in reality consists of only about 500 people: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3d9e3e573o

The lesson is— “don’t trust the mainstream media”.

The elephant in the room is mass immigration, which continues, day after day. 100-1,000 daily across the Channel, illegally; also, another 3,000 or so “legally”, by air and sea, every day.

I imagine that the present protests and their riotous offshoots will die out…for now. As to what might happen in a year’s time, or 10 or 20 years, we shall see. I don’t mean street protests that, in themselves, achieve little, but political and para-political upheavals.

The DDR (East Germany) could not hold back popular discontent in the end. Do Starmer and Yvette Cooper think that they can hold back the tide?

…and look at that stupid white (“antifascist”?) woman in a yellow jerkin, standing there smiling inanely as the untermensch advocates mass murder…

I agreed at the time (pre-GE 2024) with Matt Goodwin, and we have both already been proven correct,

Double most of those figures if you substitute “10 years” with “20 years”.

Inevitable, in short, sooner or later. Not a traditional “civil war” though, as I have remarked in the past. A multiform civil/social/ideological/racial conflict, and one without large set-piece battles.

Well, so much for the NATO Treaty…

Kharkov first.

I imagine that the children of one family will need time to adjust. They apparently know no Russian, and were unaware that they themselves are Russian. Psychological problems seem likely.

There it is— “two-tier policing” from “Two-Tier Keir”.

Were I to say that non-Europeans should be eliminated from the UK and the rest of Europe, even were I not to directly incite it, nor specify a method (unlike the untermensch in question), I have no doubt that the Hampshire police (in their role as part of England’s new poundland Stasi) would once again be knocking at my door, and once again be subjecting me to boring nuisance at the very least.

From where did he get the name “Jones”? Did he eat the previous owner?

The leadership election has yet to grip the nation, if my focus groups of ex-Tory voters are anything to go by: “Mel Stride” “Never heard of her” “Robert Jenrick” “Who’s he?” “He used to be the immigration minister” “Well he didn’t do a very good job then, did he” “Kemi Badenoch” “Are these real names?”

The contenders seem to be one or two white English, one part-Jew, one mixed -race African/English, one full African, and one Indian. Most are pretty brainless, too.

Ashcroft will not be unaware that at least one reason no-one is much interested in the would-be “leaders” is because the Conservative Party is now a total irrelevance. It cannot even make much of an impact in the talking-shop of the Westminster monkeyhouse. Not for the next several years. Maybe never.

Jesus H. Christ! (with apologies to Father Robinson)…what a total waste of space the above creature is, and what a total traitor to European race and culture.

The fact is, whatever happens in the rest of 2024, we know that the end result will be decided in later years, and not in police stations, or in courts, or in the Westminster monkeyhouse.

Many and indeed almost all of the other problems of the UK have been caused, or made much worse, by the migration-invasion that started as long ago as the 1950s, became a river by the 1980s, and became a torrent after 1989 and especially after 2001. The only word that can now describe it is tsunami. It will break this society apart.

At least 2% should be chopped off those figures, the Jewish proportion of the US population. If the known (((ownership))) of the mass media were not as it is, brainwashing the American public, the figure overall would reduce to not much more than that 2%.

That lady is very mistaken though, if she really believes that “legal” immigration is not a problem. Indeed, it is far more of a problem, because 10x or even 20x the number of the “illegals”.

People allegedly part of the more riotous recent protests are not being bailed (as almost all would normally be) prior to sentence (if they pleaded guilty) or prior to trial (if they pleaded not guilty). This is quite obviously covert interference by the political element over the supposedly “independent” judicial element. Indeed, Starmer purported to lay down such practice in his poundland-dictator speech the other day.

I have no idea of Ash Sarkar’s parentage on the paternal side but as far as I know she is not English, nor even part-English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash_Sarkar#Early_life_and_education.

Her place of birth is irrelevant.

Like so many non-Europeans who live here, especially the ones who are actually quite affluent, she secretly hates us, or at least that has been my impression.

Talking point

System narrative: anti-German Occupation terrorism and sabotage 1940-45— good; Hungarian Uprising 1956— good; African pseudo-“liberation”/terrorist movements 1950s/1960s/1970s/1980s— good; Eastern European and Central European anti-Soviet dissident movements 1970s/1980s— good, but British or other social-national resistance manifestations 2024 (or any other year)— bad.

I shall be interested to see how many, if any, of the attacks (if any do happen) will be against the nuclear facility at Dimona (southern Israel/Palestine), or Central Israel, especially the central parts of Tel Aviv, as well as the main international airport.
