In Israel, war fatigue is growing, the death toll is rising, and the scale of the fighting is expanding. A growing number of Israeli army reservists are avoiding service, further straining an already overstretched army amid an ever-expanding war. An Israeli army spokesman said the number of conscripts had dropped by about 15% since the start of the operation in the Gaza Strip in October 2023. Israel is now embroiled in the longest conflict in its history. In the first months of the war, some 350,000 Israelis were conscripted, a huge number for a country with a population of less than 10 million. The army plans to extend mandatory military service and increase the maximum age limit for reservists. /Washington Post/.

Israel is doomed. Once the Israeli state falls, the power and influence of the worldwide Jewish lobby will diminish greatly, enabling Europe, in particular, to break free.

Scamdemic. Panicdemic.

Talk about “the Big Lie”! Stunning in its massive-scale mendacity. Label “flu” as “Covid” (more or less) then use the fear created (with relentless State publicity frightening the life out of people —in some cases, literally) to institute police-state measures and laws which can then be used again in future, as required.

Very true. Look at those peabrained idiots passing judgment on Robert Kennedy junior, and on his health plans, when they themselves are not only peabrained but also plainly unfit and unhealthy couch potatoes with nothing to do but watch TV and make ignorant comments based on whatever System propaganda they have absorbed from TV “news” comment etc.

It is tempting, of course, simply to label Keir Starmer as an idiot, and in many respects he is, but one must never forget that behind “elected” dictator Starmer stands NWO/ZOG, as indeed the whole global Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.

Look at how Starmer now joins with another such puppet, Macron, pushing the idea that the brutal and shambolic regime of the Jew dictator Zelensky in Kiev should be given more missiles, more powerful missiles, and the approval to launch them deep inside Russia, even at Moscow and other major cities.

*An open letter to Donald Trump from Uri Geller: “You have the power to bomb Iran. Use it!”*

Dear Mr President Welcome back, and congratulations on your epic victory! You have a lot to fix, though my paranormal powers tell me you will have a phenomenal presidency in which you will achieve many great things for #America and the world.

I will be right about this, in the same way I have been proven right many times in my life about events before they have happened. For 50 years I have been the world’s most investigated psychic and now the future of our planet could depend on what I am about to say directly to you. Mr President, you are the only one who can avert a catastrophe – but you HAVE to act. Everyone in the world saw how unbelievably close you came to death on that stage in #Butler – and everyone in the world saw how God saved your life. I am not religious but I am convinced God performed a miracle witnessed by millions in order to give you a vital mission.

Mr President, in 2018 you did a courageous thing in the face of huge opposition, by withdrawing from the #nuclear treaty. Your wise decision set back Iran’s nuclear programme by years and put its tyrannical regime on a trajectory towards collapse. Tragically this was undone by the weakest, most duplicitous administration America has ever had – and the results are clear to see: the Middle East is now in flames, and Iran is speeding towards a nuclear bomb.

With my powers of remote viewing – and do not forget, I was used for my abilities by the #CIA – I can see deep inside Iran’s nuclear factories and I know exactly what they are doing. I am telling you: #Iran is building a nuclear weapon. This is not speculation. They are doing it right now!

Mr President, we do not have much time left. If Iran gets the bomb then the world is finished! I see terrifying visions of what will happen if this apocalyptic regime is not stopped. #Israel will be first – and America will be second. Make no mistake – destroying America is Iran’s ultimate goal.

A nuclear attack on Israel will kill millions – and an attack on America will kill many more and make the US unlivable. Radiation will last for a century, a nuclear winter will set in, food will not grow, entire species will die and life as we know it will end. Do not be fooled – Iran has the intent and will make up any lie possible to pretend it doesn’t. It will use nuclear talks as a cover to buy time. It is sometimes said that #Khamenei issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons but this is false. Khamenei is deceitful – and fatwas can be undone. He is 85 and ailing. He is a fanatical religious zealot, and the bomb is the only way he can make sure the regime will survive. I can read his mind – Khamenei wants to get it while he is still on this earth – and no-one will defy him.

Mr President, Israel was caught off-guard and had #7October. Do not be the president on whose watch Iran got nuclear weapons. Do not let it manage to even assemble a bomb! Do not let it become a North Korea, which can now not be disarmed. Strike NOW! You will never have a better opportunity. Together with Israel you must attack Iran’s nuclear sites and bomb them to pieces. I believe this is the mission for which God saved your life. Do not sit on your hands, time has almost run out. If you do not do it now, Iran will get nuclear bombs during your presidency.

This is a fact. I can see it like I have seen other events before they happened. Do you want that for your legacy? Do not forget, Iran tried to kill you! If you do not act, it will hold America to ransom. Be the president who took out this regime for the sake of humankind. You have the power. Use it. @realDonaldTrump#Trump@elonmusk#ElonMusk#MAGA#Election2024 @khamenei_ir

Geller is an interesting character. Hard to know what is pure fakery, what he at least believes he sees or intuits, and what is possibly even a MOSSAD attempt at oblique influence.

When I was at school in Berkshire (England) in the early 1970s, Geller became a sensation in the UK and internationally, and bought a large Arts and Crafts house in the nearby village of Sonning (where George and Amal Clooney, and other celebrities and famous figures, including Theresa May, now have houses).

Geller relocated back to his native Israel (occupied Palestine, if you will) in 2015.

I have read Geller’s memoirs, but am still undecided about what is real and what is fake about him. At any rate, he is even today, at age 77, a very influential figure in popular culture, something which must be of interest to MOSSAD etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Geller.

As I predicted.

If the (?) 10,000 North Korean troops are kept concentrated in a tight, discrete battle-group, they will be able to punch a hole 20 miles wide in the Kiev-regime lines in the Kursk region and behind that, in the Ukraine region bordering Kursk region. To repair that hole, the Kiev-regime will have to transfer forces from elsewhere, maybe even from the Donetsk/Lugansk front, where Russian forces are still steadily advancing.

“The gangs” are not the problem; the problem is that there are literally tens of millions of migrant-invaders en route to the UK, either “illegally” or “legally”. A million a year. Plus births to already-arrived migrants.

Incidentally, the way the UK’s asylum laws were framed, in totally different conditions decades ago, as late ago as the 1950s, there are, in principle, literally hundreds of millions of blacks and browns who might be able to claim asylum. All they have to do is reach our shores…

It does occur to me that, with the increasing pressure in the UK on animals, birds, fish, and insects, so many of which are now vulnerable or endangered, one possible answer might be to establish completely rewilded zones, perhaps 5 of them in England, and a smaller number but similar proportion in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.

I have not fully thought-out the idea, so these are just stray ideas at present.

Such rewilded zones would go beyond the various existing zone-regimes such as Green Belt, National Park, Site of Special Scientific Interest etc.

The idea would be for such zones to be changed from whatever land use presently exists to a completely wild forest. New building would be banned, and existing housing gradually reduced. There would be no industry and no large-scale agriculture or horticulture.

The above requirements suggest that areas already sparsely-inhabited would be chosen.

As for the size of such rewilded zones, I am thinking in terms of about the same size of circumference as the M25, i.e. the Greater London area. About 5 of those in England, perhaps 2 in Scotland, 1 in Wales and 1 in Northern Ireland.

Traffic would be very restricted over time, roads not open to the public (eventually). The zones to be linked with each other and other countryside areas by the kind of wildlife grid I have proposed over recent years.

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)…

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.

Of course, the above-claimed situation is not invariably so.

Four corrupt and (((owned))) idiots-on-sticks. Useless.

The individual shouting is one of “the usual suspects” (((them))). Odds-on. (and despite the facemask muzzle).

I strongly support that. I was quite shocked to hear, in 1989, in Warsaw, and from the lips of a Polish girl I knew slightly, that my old haunt, Raoul’s (cafe) in Little Venice (London), where she had worked (she used to serve me my coffees) would take a high percentage of the tips given to the wait staff. That money would, so I was told, go to the woman who owned the cafe. Disgraceful.

Incidentally, the manager of the cafe at that time was a very pleasant young-ish Lebanese, who referred to the Jews who were a fairly large proportion of the clientele as “the Chosen“. Sardonic.

Apropos of nothing much, that Lebanese seemed to regard me as omniscient when it came to knowing who —using the cafe— was who. By way of example, I remember him asking once, in the 1990s, who was the black man sitting with a rather spectacularly-dressed black —I think African— woman. The manager asked me to go into the cafe —I was seated outside— and pretend to order something so that I could take a look.

I was able to identify the black man as Paul Boateng [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Boateng#Member_of_Parliament]. I had seen Boateng previously, not only on TV but also in person, when he was at Harrow Crown Court as Counsel in 1992 or 1993. It may be that he lived somewhere in the Maida Vale area; I do not know.

The brainwashing fear propaganda has deeply embedded itself in the mass psyche. Only a quarter of the population are awake to the realities, even now, years later.

In any case, the question is based on the false assumption that more inhabitants means greater “growth”. A house of cards. Fake.

Pretty damning. I myself would be firmly of the “they had none” persuasion.

Reform UK is still not the choice of most people or even a plurality. In my view, the people want, but subconsciously, social nationalism, but that has not come to expression either in the mass psyche or in objective reality— the movement and/or party does not exist. Not yet, anyway.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/03/gp-injected-mothers-partner-flesh-eating-chemical-inheritance-kwan-patrick-ohara-newcastle

A GP worried about his inheritance disguised himself as a nurse and injected deadly poison into his victim, who thought he was getting a home-visit Covid booster, a court has heard.

Thomas Kwan was not injecting Covid vaccine into Patrick O’Hara, prosecutors allege, but a poison that gave O’Hara a rare and life-threatening flesh-eating disease.

“Sometimes, occasionally perhaps, the truth really is stranger than fiction,” said Peter Makepeace KC as he opened the prosecution case against Kwan at Newcastle crown court on Thursday.

Kwan, 53, is accused of attempting to murder O’Hara, his mother’s long-term partner and a “potential impediment” to him inheriting her estate.

The court heard Kwan devised an intricate plan to kill 71-year-old O’Hara, who lived in Newcastle with Kwan’s mother, by disguising himself as a community nurse and injecting him with poison.

Makepeace said the plan involved Kwan forging NHS documentation, disguising himself, using false number plates, and booking in to a hotel using a false name.

Police recovered a photograph from Kwan’s computer of him in disguise with a wig, beard and moustache.

“It was an audacious plan,” Makepeace told the jury. “It was a plan to murder a man in plain sight, to murder a man right in front of his own mother’s eyes, that man’s life partner.

[Guardian]

Looks like a case so unusual that it may go down in criminal history, and be found in “true crime” anthologies, in television series etc.

The Prosecution Counsel in the case is someone with whom I was once acquainted, we both being part of a group of about 7 or 8 Bar students grouped together for the “Practical Exercises” which were then (1987-88) part of the Bar Finals course at the Inns of Court School of Law in London. All our names began with “M”. After that time, I only encountered Makepeace a few times: once or twice in a robing room (where barristers get changed for court) at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, I appearing at the High Court, he in the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division); and once at the christening of a baby, child of two others of the same Bar School group. He was then based at York.

Also, 2 out of 20 voted for underwhelming Reform UK, despite its flaws and despite the fact that the FPTP voting system makes it hard for any non-established party to get anywhere.

In the circumstances, Reform UK did well to get 5 MPs (yet the LibDems got 72 MPs despite getting far fewer actual votes than Reform UK).

Not “stuck“. They could just leave, and return to France or elsewhere. Suggestion (only semi-serious)— parachute them over France (or send over the Channel by MTB) with a golden farewell of, say, 1,000 Euros in their pockets. Better than most of them deserve, but #MoralHighGround.

You can see why Starmer and his cabal became hysterical when the recent protests occurred (not “riots“…pushing a few wheelie bins over, or setting fire to them, is hardly a “riot”…). Starmer is frightened not of what happened, but what might happen over the next 4-5 years. He wanted to frighten potential future protesters now.

The Times reports, in a briefing from Home Sec Yvette Cooper, 3 disturbing facts; 1) There are now 225,000 migrants waiting to be granted asylum. That’s the whole Doncaster and Chelmsford combined. 2) Starmer’s pre-election promise to have all migrants out of hotels in 12 months is bollocks. Three years away at least. 3) Another 25,000 migrants have arrived by boat this year, 10,000 since Labour came in. She could have added 4) We don’t care as we view every migrant 80% more likely to vote Labour than any other party. And I could add 5) It’s this attitude which means you are a one term government.”

Naturally, we must oppose the migration invasion, not only the “small boats” invasion but also the —superficially— “legal-migrant” invasion, and also the third kind of “invasion”, births to non-Europeans within the UK.

Paradoxically, though, with every migrant-invader that arrives on our shores, the possibility of a social-civil war down the line becomes more plausible, as does the case for real social nationalism.

In the Netherlands, only British, French, German, Scandinavian, North American, Australasian, Southern African (whites), Argentinians, Japanese, Singaporese, (maybe) Italians and (maybe) Indians contribute anything. The rest are a millstone round the neck of the Dutch people.

I have seen, via family friends and personal visits over the past 50 years, how the Netherlands has declined, both economically and socially. Shocking.

The UK has gone much the same way, but the Netherlands was such a prosperous and peaceful little country, when I first saw it nearly 50 years ago, that the contrast is greater, arguably.

I would not mind most of the first part of that; the problem lies with the second part.

Well, I never “supported” or “admired” Israel anyway, of course, though I have always recognized that it has some features which compare well to the surrounding Arab/Muslim states. However, its behaviour has gone from bad to worse, and the (Israeli) Jews are now totally out of control.

Even then, much of what the speaker was shown (eg the film mentioned) was not from Auschwitz in the first place, but from elsewhere, and post-1945.

Goodnight Vienna Tel Aviv (maybe).

Were I an Iranian strategist, I should probably concentrate my missiles on, firstly, the Israeli nuclear weapons facility at Dimona [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimon_Peres_Negev_Nuclear_Research_Center], secondly at any known nuclear weapons storage facilities, thirdly at known IDF air bases and the civilian international airport, and only then at concentrations of population, and even then mostly on Tel Aviv itself.

Possible sleeper agents.

Apart from anything else, this Iranian attack will collapse a good deal of the Israeli economy, especially if the main international airport is put out of action.

I have no idea what proportion of Israel’s economy relies on tourism, but I imagine that it is fairly high. Who will be visiting now?

As to exports, I suppose it will depend on what ports, airports, and transport infrastructure is hit, and what damage, if any, is done.

(((The usual suspects))) have been mass-reporting the David R. Morgan Twitter/X account. It is what “they” do…I myself suffered the same hit in 2018, since when I have not had a Twitter or Twitter/X account.

Revenge is sweet…

Seems that the Iranian forces are not concentrating their missile attacks to the extent that I should, were I in their boots.

If this is happening now, what will it be like in 5 or 10 years’ time, assuming that the Israeli state lasts that long?

Hard to know whether the “Supertanskiii” type of online regurgitater of pseudo-liberal bs is sincere or not. I mean beyond being an obvious money-seeking “grifter”. Does “Supertanskiii” operate according to some obscure pseudo-socialist agenda in which she really believes, or is she just bloody stupid? Both? Discuss.

So what would a “successful” attack look like?
