The facade of “democracy” in the UK is crumbling.

Labour knows what will happen when or if they “allow” local elections to take place— Labour is toast. Thousands of Labour (and Conservative) councillors will lose their seats.

Another Jew-Zionist troublemaker, just like Gideon Falter of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” at past events, causing trouble but then playing the “victim”. It’s all so (((typical))).

[Update, 21 October 2025: well, “give that man a cee-gar”! Meaning me. It now transpires that the pretend “victim” was none other than Jew-Zionist liar and perjurer, Falter, himself. Had a feeling it might be.

UK Police Question Jewish Lawyer Gideon Falter’s Star of David During Protest Arrest

Last updated 10 hours ago

London’s Metropolitan Police detained Gideon Falter, chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, for nearly 10 hours on August 29 near a pro-Palestine protest outside the Israeli embassy. Officers questioned his Star of David necklace, suggesting it could antagonize protesters, though the force later clarified the arrest was due to his repeated approaches to the protest route under public order conditions. No charges were filed, but the incident, echoing a prior case, has prompted criticism from Jewish leaders over potential bias amid rising antisemitic incidents.

(From Grok Twitter/X)

Not entirely accurate, though. My understanding is that Falter, though possessing a “soft” law-with-French degree from Warwick University, is not a “lawyer” as such, i.e. neither barrister nor solicitor.

Well, there it is. The so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” self-styled “CEO”, Falter, making up a “victim” (((victim))) narrative. Again. In the language of the Cockneys, “telling porkies“! That’s not very kosher! Good to read that he got arrested, handcuffed, then had an uncomfortable 10 hours. Let’s hope more bad experiences come to him]

An expression of the obvious, but (thanks to incessant “anti-racist” System propaganda) it has to be said expressly…

Idiots such as Zoe Gardner and Jonathan Portes will still not accept reality, of course.

Carrot— fine; however, stick is also required. Stop the huge numbers of non-European births in the UK (and elsewhere).

After June 26, their defensive ring practically collapsed. We successfully struck the main radars and anti-aircraft bases of the regime.“]

Saturday quiz

Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 5/10. I scored 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 5, and 8.

Historical note

83 years ago.

Surely one of the best films of its type.

Talking point

“But you can give it up, stop Shirriffing, if it has stopped being a respectable job,” said Sam.

“We’re not allowed to,” said Robin.

“If I hear not allowed much oftener,” said Sam, “I’m going to get angry.”

“Can’t say as I’d be sorry to see it,” said Robin, lowering his voice. “If we all got angry together something might be done.”

. . . This was Frodo and Sam’s own country, and they found out now that they cared about it more than any other place in the world. Many of the houses that they had known were missing. Some seemed to have been burned down. The pleasant row of old hobbit-holes in the bank on the north side of the Pool were deserted, and their little gardens that used to run down bright to the water’s edge were rank with weeds. Worse, there was a whole line of the ugly new houses all along Pool Side, where the Hobbiton Road ran close to the bank. An avenue of trees had stood there. They were all gone. And looking with dismay up the road towards Bag End they saw a tall chimney of brick in the distance. It was pouring out black smoke into the evening air.

. . . “This is worse than Mordor!” said Sam. “Much worse in a way. It comes home to you, as they say; because it is home, and you remember it before it was all ruined.”

—J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, Book VI, ch. 8.

Quoted in a piece by Niall Ferguson, whose views are often not at one with my own, but sometimes are [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niall_Ferguson].

That article can be read here: https://www.thefp.com/p/niall-ferguson-the-rot-in-britain (I did not read it all because of the paywall).

Unfortunately, basically “System” historians and academics such as Ferguson are easily held to ransom by the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby. Their own careerist interests tend to get in the way of truth-telling.

The Lord of the Rings quotation there, though, resonates with me. That is more or less how I feel about England. There is, almost daily, less and less left of the England I remember from childhood (early-mid 1960s) and my teenage years (early to mid 1970s) (I was in Australia 1967, 1968, 1969).

Now we are told that, even “net”, the migration invasion will be around a million a year, indefinitely. That means continual degradation of housing availability, healthcare availability, law and order, availability of decent education, ever-lowering real pay; it also means the destruction of the welfare state.

It makes no difference at all whether those entering the UK do so with various visas, and on scheduled flights, or do so in rubber boats, invading the beaches of southern England.

The questions raised are:

  1. how many years before this society collapses, together with its corrupt and decadent political system?
  2. how many years before a real social-national government can take power and exterminate the societal evils that are being visited upon us (not all of which, however, are by reason of mass immigration)?

Each immigrant to the UK, at present, is costing the UK about a million pounds over a lifetime, taking everything into account. It therefore makes sense to say “go out and stay out of the UK and we shall give you a gratuity of £50,000 [or more].” There would have to be a second, firmer statement, i.e. “return to the UK without permission, and you will be shot.”

Of course, such an offer might attract others. That posits the need for firm measures to prevent that.

We could even go further, inviting non-whites born in the UK to emigrate, and providing a similar and larger gratuity to them on that basis, maybe £200,000 in cash. Same (not some) conditions apply…

Expensive, but not so expensive as having them here.

Note: “other solutions are available”.

“They” really have their claws into the U.S. Congress…

Had this story appeared on the 1st of April, I should have assumed that it was a hoax. This country is now so screwed that it is hard at times to believe the extent of it.

The British Council is both useless and expensive. As Martin Bell pointed out many years ago, the (old) BBC World Service did “soft power” diplomacy many times better on a fraction of the budget.

That refers to this:

David Lammy, thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire”…

The Labour Party succeeded at GE 2024 (albeit to the extent that 33.7% of voters that voted, voted Labour) not on its own merits, but because “almost everyone” (at least 9 out of every 12) wanted rid of the Conservative Party.

Now we see a similar phenomenon— the people want rid of both of the main System parties. So far, Reform is the only game in town.

Why would any organization want to subject its staff to a programme of socio-political brainwashing by Jew-Zionists, especially a dishonest and malicious pack such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]?

The next time that the “CAA” “executives” Falter and Silverman give sworn testimony in a criminal or civil legal case, they should be robustly cross-examined about finances, including how much they themselves are being paid for their disgusting activities.

The “CAA” is effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London.

There must be an investigation into, not only that recent piece of street theatre by Falter, but also into, and more importantly, the hooks that the “CAA” cabal have got into the police, CPS, TV people, radio people, and newspaper scribblers, not to mention both “Labour” and “Conservative” political facades, right up to the little Indian money-juggler presently posing as Prime Minister.

That chart shows very clearly just how disastrous, economically, the war with the German Reich was for Britain. If only Britain had had real statesmen able to see ahead, unlike stumbling, bumbling Churchill, whose military and naval ideas were rock-bottom (Gallipoli in WW1, and in WW2 Norway, Greece, Crete, Singapore etc), and whose social ideas were antiquated and unreal.

As the under-rated historian Correlli Barnett said in several of his books, after 1945 the UK had the choice of trying to maintain its worldwide Empire and being a major power, and/or of regenerating its economy and particularly its industrial manufacturing sector, and/or of creating a Welfare State. Only two (any two) of the three were possible of full achievement, but Britain tried to undertake all three simultaneously; that strategy failed, or partially failed. It had not the means (because of the War) to succeed in all three. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett.

Entirely typical of “them”. In the UK, such harassment and covert hostility is undertaken in a similar manner, mainly via Jew-Zionist groups such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

Apart from all the other lies of Gideon Falter, if he claims that he was taking a stroll after having attended a synagogue, that must also be untrue. Other Jews have said that Falter was out and about long before what the Jews call “schul” would have ended.

Also, as a former long-term near-Central London resident, I am unaware of any synagogue in the area around where Falter was performing his political street-theatre nuisance (in Aldwych); and even if I am wrong on that, as far as I know Falter lives mainly in the St. John’s Wood neighbourhood of NW London (quite close to my one-time home in Little Venice, London W9). There is a large synagogue in St. John’s Wood Road, and another one in Lauderdale Road, Maida Vale. Both far from the Aldwych/Kingsway area of London; miles away. How would any stroll take him that way, even forgetting about the ex-MOSSAD security staff and the film crew?

Falter, like all his “CAA” co-conspirators, is a liar, and an abuser of the legal system (and mainstream media) of this country.

Insp Parker-Phipps, whose laptop battery was “dying”, put the order in place at 10:00 GMT on November 26, but accidentally dated the form for November 24.

Mr Robinson’s defence lawyer, Alisdair Williamson KC, told the court there had been a “litany of catastrophic errors” in the Met’s handling of the incident.

Questioning the inspector, Mr Williamson said: “This document is not correct is it?

Can we have any confidence that there was a lawful order in place?”

To which the inspector replied: “No.”

Giving his ruling, District Judge Daniel Sternberg said: “I am not satisfied there was a legal authorisation.

“There is no case for you to answer.”

The hearing was attended by numerous supporters of Mr Robinson who filled the public gallery.

[BBC]

So the policeman directly in question, of the rank of inspector, wrongly-dated the crucial document? He also admitted —without equivocation— in court not only that he had wrongly-dated the document but, further, that that probably meant that the Order purportedly authorized had thereby been rendered unlawful.

What an unusually-helpful police witness. “Tommy Robinson” must have been born under a lucky star. Or something.

Much truth in that, but the elephant in the room that “Robinson” never mentions is the pervasive Israeli and Jewish influence in the UK.

Like Katie Hopkins, and a whole host of other “alt-Right” and similar activists, Robinson always seems to take the Israeli/Jewish/Zionist side of a false dichotomy.

There is a Jewish police organization which seems to have plenty of influence: see below— “CAA” liar Gideon Falter influencing (?) former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, at Scotland Yard:

Finchley Road, so again in that Swiss Cottage/St. John’s Wood part of London.

No different from what Jewish terror squads did in Palestine/Israel in the 1940s. They blew up buildings, kidnapped and murdered British soldiers, and “ethnically-cleansed” whole villages, towns, and cities.

In Europe, Jewish terrorists even tried to poison the water supplies of London and some German cities, as well as attempting to bomb London indiscriminately, trying to kill as many British people as possible.

Incidentally, such Jewish terrorism, and other “activism”, did not come about by reason of the events of the Second World War. In 1933, as soon as the NSDAP under Adolf Hitler came to power, the web of “World Jewry” declared war on the new Germany. They, if you like, drew first blood.

Australia now is very different to the affluent and generally relaxed country I saw in the late 1960s. Controlled and tied down in so many ways, and far more stressed. Sydney itself has twice or more the population it had back then (then about 2M, now 5M+).

Another aspect that strikes (and puzzles) me is the almost caricature “Aussie” accent many now sport, including most of their politicians. That never used to be the case, not to that extent, as far as I can recall. There was a “strine”, yes, but it has become more accentuated, in fact almost become a joke, as one can hear from the woman in that clip.

From the newspapers

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-asked-man-pub-guess-32649993

A furious mum glassed a man in the face at a pub after he guessed she was four years older than she was.

Joanne Dodd launched her attack on Carl Cooper after he suggested she might be 43, when she was actually 39. The pair were having a light-hearted exchange in a Manchester pub beer garden before Carl went to the toilet to try and get away from an offended Joanne. But when he returned, she ran towards him twice and pushed her wine glass into his face, leaving him with a 10cm cut that narrowly missed his eye and needed stitches, as well as an injury to his thumb.

Manchester Crown Court heard Dodd was suffering from ‘low self esteem’ and was drinking heavily at the time of the attack. The mum-of-one pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm, facing up to three years in jail under sentencing guidelines. But Judge Elizabeth Nicholls instead gave her a suspended sentence, explaining that despite there being no excuse for the crime, she could see that Dodd, who has no previous convictions, was a ‘hard working woman’, ‘loving mother’ and posed ‘no risk to the public’.

Dodd was sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended for 12 months and was ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work and pay £800 in compensation to her victim.

[Daily Mirror]

So a woman who twice pushed a glass into the face of (what seems to have been) a complete stranger poses “no risk to the public“?

I suppose that it could be argued that the sentence is not unjust: the victim will (presumably) get that £800, and 180 hours of serf labour is pretty stiff, but the idea that such a defendant poses “no risk” is surely demonstrably untrue.

I suppose, also, that the only way to test the verdict of that judge is the method suggested by the judge to the jury in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury:

she says that when in drink, he hits her and kicks her; well, gentlemen of the jury, let’s make him tipsy…and see!

I think that the courts must start getting tough on violent crime, including violence committed in social settings such as pubs, and not infrequently by drunken women these days.

Ha ha. If that little twerp thinks that the millions of Ukrainians now living in Poland, Germany, and many other countries are going to return to the brutal, corrupt, and shambolic dictatorship of Zelensky and the regime in Kiev, let alone join its ebbing armed forces, he is living in a land of fantasy.

Either this summer or later, there will be a general advance by Russian forces, moving north and west across Eastern Ukraine; perhaps even an approach or “podstup” near to Kiev itself, which region is now heavily defended.

The Kiev-regime forces are now entirely on the defensive, without the ability, troops or other means to attempt an advance, still less any offensive, after the failure of the last and half-hearted one in 2023. All they can do is launch occasional missile attacks on Russian territory, with the aim of causing a certain amount of damage to refineries, train lines, bridges etc.

Sage. That quotation could be a commentary on my own recent prosecution and conviction (I may appeal) for (allegedly) posting on the blog, and telling society a few socio-political and historical truths, mainly truths about “them” (((them))).

Imagine if the same were done in the halls of music, literature, philosophy, martial endeavour, science etc. There would be almost nothing left.

The news report about that scandal: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12845439/Now-police-CANCEL-Chief-Constables.html.

Read that. Turns out that, as so often, the Chief Constable in question is a woman, and moreover one who, after a business studies degree at what was then Sheffield Polytechnic, joined the police in Cambridgeshire. Her Wikipedia entry contains no detail of any interesting cases or arrests, just a careerist plod (no pun intended) upwards on the bureaucratic ladder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Farrell.

A few more of those G.K. Chesterton quotations:

Were Chesterton to live in our own times, he would have been “cancelled” by intellectual pygmies, would probably never have been published, and would quite likely find himself having to defend nonsensical and/or malicious allegations in the criminal courts.

[G.K. Chesterton]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._K._Chesterton.

Incidentally, Wikipedia’s piece on G.K. Chesterton contains the caveat “not to be confused with A.K. Chesterton“.

A.K. Chesterton [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._K._Chesterton] was a remote relative of G.K. and perhaps, possibly, probably (I do not know) named “A.K.” deliberately because of the connection, G.K. Chesterton then being a very famous figure indeed (who was even cited and quoted in novels such as Brideshead Revisited, published much later— 1945, in that case; Brideshead contains a scene involving a reading aloud of Chesterton’s Father Brown story, The Queer Feet [https://www3.nd.edu/~afreddos/courses/43811/queerfeet.htm]).

When, from about 1975, and at age 17 or 18, I became actively interested in contemporary British politics (in addition to my earlier and continuing interest in the Germany and Russia of the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s), I heard tell about A.K. Chesterton at or around the League of St. George, in a couple of cases from people who had known him personally (he died in 1973).

I read a couple of copies of “A.K.’s” magazine, Candour, and carried on a brief political correspondence in 1976-1977 with some (?) Irish and certainly Roman Catholic lady who had continued the publication after the death of “A.K.”. Frankly, I did not think much of either. The young can be censorious, often too censorious.

Ah. I had forgotten that lady’s name, but am now reminded by Wikipedia, about 46 or more years on, that it was Rosine de Bounevialle. I do remember that she was based in Liss Forest, Hampshire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candour_(magazine); https://www.candour.org.uk/.

Ukrainian intelligence today revealed chilling images from the scene of the assassination of Ilya Kyva, a ‘traitor’ and former Kyiv MP turned Putin puppet. 

Kyva, 46, was gunned down last week as he went for a walk in a supposedly safe location at a country club near Moscow – the latest of several collaborators to have been assassinated in recent months. 

Images from the scene show his body lying in the snow – and the weapons supposedly used to ‘liquidate’ him were discovered hanging on a tree nearby. Video was also released apparently showing the assassin lying in wait in the snow and watching passers-by.

The SBU secret service made clear the images and footage were deliberately released as a warning to other Ukrainians collaborating with Vladimir Putin’s invading forces.

‘This is a signal to all traitors and war criminals who have gone over to the enemy’s side,’ a Ukrainian source told media.

Yes. If Farage and Tice actually fight the 2024 GE, unlike their behaviour in 2019, when they stabbed their own followers in the back and enabled “Boris”-idiot to lead the Con Party to an unmerited victory, Reform UK might manage between 15%-20%. Even 15% would sink the Con Party, leaving Con Party with about 53 seats, depending on the Lab and LibDem showing. If Reform UK can get to 20%, and if most of the extra votes come from Con Party, the latter might be left with as few as 14 MPs.

My own guess, on present showing, is that the nationwide vote for Reform UK might exceed 15%; not sure.

My other guess is that the Con Party will be left with between 50 and 100 MPs.

That, of course, will mean a Labour Party elected dictatorship.

Update, 7 December 2024

Well, as far as GE 2024 is concerned, I got it right, or almost right: Reform UK did fight the General Election and, despite the unfair/illogical FPTP voting system, got 14.29%, which gave them 5 MPs (under a pure proportional-voting system, it would have been 92 or 93 MPs).

The Con Party did get hammered, ending up with a few more MPs —121— than the 50-100 I predicted.

As for the Labour “elected” dictatorship, yes, that also happened. Despite only getting 33.7% of the voted vote, Labour now has 411 MPs (out of 650).

The contract soldier or “mercenary” has fallen somewhat onto the margins of European affairs since the condottieri of the Renaissance era, though in the 20thC many Europeans served, some more honourably than others, in mercenary forces elsewhere in the world, mainly in Africa. Among the better ones were 5 Commando under Mike Hoare in the Congo of the early/mid 1960s, and those who served under the Rhodesian flag in the late 1960s and 1970s. Among the less honourable, les Affreux (“the Frightful”), Belgian and French mercenaires in the Congo circa 1961-62, and some of those who served in Biafra; also, arguably the rock-bottom, those (some completely untrained) who went to Angola under “Colonel” “Callan” (in reality, Costas Georgiou, a Greek-Cypriot dishonourably discharged from the Parachute Regiment of the UK, and who never held a rank higher than corporal, if that): see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costas_Georgiou; see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercenary#Africa; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Mike_Hoare.

To recruit his force, Hoare placed newspaper advertisements in Johannesburg and Salisbury (modern Harare, Zimbabwe) for physically fit white men capable of marching 20 miles per day who were fond of combat and were “tremendous romantics” to join 5 Commando.[5] The moniker Mad Mike which was given to him by the British press suggested a “wildman” type of commander, but in fact Hoare was very strict and insisted the men of 5 Commando always be clean-shaven, keep their hair cut short, never swear and attend church services every Sunday.[5] The men of 5 Commando were entirely white and consisted of a “ragbag of misfits” upon whom he imposed stern discipline.[5] 5 Commando was a mixture of South Africans, Rhodesians, British, Belgians, and Germans, the last of whom were mostly Second World War veterans who had arrived in the Congo wearing Iron Crosses.”

[Wikipedia].

[Mike Hoare, when commander of 5 Commando in the Congo]

The Wagner Group, aka PMC Wagner, has changed the rules. Here is a notionally private military company effectively acting as the private part of a state military force, though not signatory to any international conventions and, by the same token, unprotected by any.

In the 1960s and at most other modern times, mercenaries were seen only in quite small groups, certainly no more than a few hundred. That alone marks out Wagner Group as something new. Even Mike Hoare’s successful 5 Commando consisted of only about 300 men. The Wagner Group can (or could, until the recent fighting for Bakhmut/Artyomovsk) muster tens of thousands. The whole of the British Army is now no more than about 70,000-80,000, and most of those are either headquarters or “rear-echelon” forces, not combat-ready.

It comes as a slight surprise to realize that Wagner Group might even be a match for the maybe 30,000 troops who comprise the whole of the fighting part of the British Army.

It is an open question as to what would happen were Wagner Group to attack and/or get into combat with, the forces of a NATO state (eg Poland). That is, would it trigger Article 5 of the Treaty, and so create a general European conflict?

I suppose that the last time the British used private forces on any scale would be the seaborne “privateers” of the 16th-18th centuries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privateer, unless you include the arrangement with the Gurkhas, though they are now completely subsumed into the British and other armies.

Reading tweets from pro-immigration cretins such as tweeter “@DawnRowatt” is more than irritating; it is actually slightly frightening. It shows that there are rather a lot of people in this country devoid of any real awareness of how the country is changing for the worse (the much worse) via mass immigration and migration-invasion. Such “refugees welcome” and similar dimwits are immune to logic, to facts, to intelligent analysis. What does that leave?

They are the gravediggers of our still relatively-civilized, though declining fast, white European society.

As mentioned on the blog and by others, fraudulent “grifter” “Jack Monroe” uses literally hundreds of Twitter and other “sock accounts”, some prepared years ago, as long ago as 2013 in some cases. Such “non-people” argue with those exposing “Jack Monroe”, and they also praise her, or her dire food “recipes”.

Israel is a “democracy” in the sense that South Africa, in the apartheid era, was. Democracy for those thought eligible. Is there any other word as flexible (or meaningless) as “democracy”? See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/15/has-parliamentary-democracy-as-we-have-known-it-until-now-had-its-day-in-the-uk/.

A good deal of what has been shown on Western TV reports from Ukraine over the past ~18 months has been faked, or partly-faked.

West Germany, pre-1990, pre-Reunification, was pretty impressive; East Germany (DDR) not so much, and very strange, but still pretty clean and efficient, from what I saw in a brief visit at the time.

Now look at it. Migration-invasion and cultural decadence has done huge damage even as compared to the Weimar period of the 1920s and early 1930s.

No military plan survives the first contact with the enemy” [von Moltke].

The Israelis train their staff officers and others by telling them to prepare a plan over a period of a week. 24 hours before the wargame is due to start, the officers are told that the situation has changed radically along lines explained. A new plan therefore has to be prepared. Then, less than an hour (I think a matter of 10-20 minutes) before the start, the officers are told that the situation has changed again. They are instructed to think of a new plan at once.

That method has been proven to have been effective in training officers able to think on their feet, as seen both in 1967 and in 1973, and plays to the Jewish/Israeli strength in off-the cuff innovation.

The Russians and Ukrainians of senior rank were, at least until recently, brought up in the Soviet idea of carefully-thought-out plans, and wargames that were mostly for show, to be displayed like a panorama to senior officers, political leaders, and in propaganda films. In a word— inflexible.

Well, nearly time for breakfast…

Early thought

Whatever the truth of the Ukraine atrocity reports, it is ironic that much of the venom against Russia comes from people in the USA, some influential. You would hardly know that, ever since the Second World War, the USA has been committing atrocities of all sorts (from officially-approved ill-treatment and torture right through to wiping out whole populations with atomic bombs), and against not only enemies in the field but also civilian populations. Where? Where not (almost): Germany, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon (etc).

“Covid” may have been deliberately engineered

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11223335/Covid-19-Worlds-medical-journal-finally-says-virus-come-lab-leak.html

The world’s leading medical journal has conceded that the Covid pandemic could have been sparked by a laboratory leak and admits that the virus may have been engineered by scientists.

...this is a remarkable turnaround for the 199-year-old Lancet, which printed an infamous article condemning suggestions of a lab leak as ‘conspiracy theories’.

However, the journal – which says the world should take ‘seriously’ both main hypotheses – has also suggested the virus could be linked to laboratories in the US, provoking fears it is still promoting China’s cause rather than good science.

As one can see in the extent to which, in the past 8 years, a small but well-funded pack of Jews calling themselves “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] has suborned or influenced several police forces: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/; and see also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

I myself have never had the “Covid” “vaccine(s)”, let alone the supposed “boosters”. I know a few people who have had them. Unpleasant but probably temporary side-effects in a few cases, but in others far more serious problems, including two people, both younger than me (I am 66) and without any history of heart problems, who have both had to have heart surgery recently; one triple by-pass, one quadruple by-pass.

Same as Canada and Trudeau, mutatis mutandis. Is there not one New Zealander…(?)

I think that it was Valentin Tomberg [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Tomberg] who wrote that, starting (if I recall aright) at the end of the 20th century, “the mask of Evil [in the world] will start to come off“.

We can see this in, inter alia, the whole “Covid” situation. Not least, the increasing realization that many of the leaders and leading propagandists of the various countries, and particularly the most important countries of the West, are part of a pretty tight cabal or series of cabals.

Look at, say Jacinda Ardern. Not just Prime Minister of New Zealand, but before that operating at a high level, more or less behind the scenes, in the Labour Party in the UK. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacinda_Ardern.

We are talking about “the usual suspects”, aka “the Wise Men of the West”, including Bilderbergers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_meeting.

There are probably other, far less public, groups, but all such groups form one basic over-group.

I have often blogged about the 33-year cycle: 2022, 1989, 1956, 1923 etc. World-historic years betokening huge socio-political change in the world.

Corbyn has returned to his comfort-zone— playing at “revolutionaries” at pointless and stupid Central London demonstrations.

An ape in a silk suit is still an ape” [old Russian proverb].

A proper government would machine-gun hostile invaders on the beaches, or before they reach shore. That was what warmongering old Churchill wanted to do to any German invaders in 1940, and these untermenschen, and any children they will have, are a far bigger threat to Britain’s future than the German Army ever could have been.

Covid “cases” in hospital: scam exposed yet again

The above parody is not that far from what actually happened in 2020. The sheer hysteria of not only the police but also a large part of the msm and indeed the general public had to be seen to be believed.

“Democracy” becomes meaningless once the public (or much of it) is half-crazed, or unable to think for itself, once the mainstream media are all trumpeting one false message, once an incompetent or malicious government passes spurious “laws” and lays down legally ineffective —but practically enforced— “rules”, “guidance” and so on (conflated with and confused with actual law); and once the police start to enforce not law but the said government “rules”, “guidance” etc as if they were law(s).

Indeed, in 2020 the police themselves started to make up the law as they went along (something we also see them doing relating to so-called “hate crimes” and “non-hate crime incidents” etc). This is all connected to the influence of Common Purpose etc.

Police chiefs infected, not with “Covid-19” but with Common Purpose and political correctness, started to send drones out to blast elderly couples walking peacefully on the moors with “go home” messages, police in Derbyshire also poisoned a lake so that it would not attract visitors, and police in other provincial areas started to inspect people’s shopping to see whether the purchases were (in their Plod opinion) “reasonable” or “necessary”!

A few voices of weight spoke up against these abuses: Lord Sumption, the former Law Lord, for one. The reaction? Most msm outlets cold-shouldered Sumption, and some started to imply that he was really just a bit of a crank; while on social media, the hysterical Twitter obsessives (often Jewish) were in full flow, calling him mad etc (as they usually do when they find a target for their ingrained hate. I myself have suffered from the Jew-Zionist hate.

All very true, yet on Twitter, during the EU Referendum campaign, the Twitter-twits (always unrepresentative) were whining about how, for example, their daughters would be unable to take up that unpaid internship “job” at a Milan fashion house, or how their sons would now never be able to work in cutting-edge IT in Berlin or Amsterdam (and about how Emily and Olivia, and Sebastian and Barnaby were so terribly upset…boo-hoo— cue Windsor Davies in It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum“).

…and that is without even considering the flood of Roma-gypsy thieves and parasites that have swamped the UK for the past few decades, mostly from Eastern and Central Europe.

Actually, writing about Windsor Davies reminded me once again of the society of censorship we are now in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Ain%27t_Half_Hot_Mum#Reception.

“[Virginia Giuffre] called Maxwell the “devil’s righthand man”, adding: “She’s definitely worse than Epstein. She used that charm, that wit, that smile to come off as somebody you want to trust … She’s worse to me, more evil than Epstein. What Ghislaine did to so many of us, it’s unforgivable.”” [The Guardian]

What interests me is the absence of any msm interest now in the obvious Israeli Intelligence connection, though a few newspapers in both UK and USA at least hinted at it some time before the start of the trial.

Watch the skies!

On a wet road in West Yorkshire, early in the morning of November 28, a policeman, coming to the end of his night shift, received a report from Todmorden

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10354033/When-PC-Alan-Godfrey-close-encounter-branded-crazy-fallout-cost-job.html

As a matter of fact, I myself once saw a UFO, though I do not make any claim as to what it was beyond that. It was on New Year’s Eve, if I recall aright. I was staying for a few days in Welling, Kent, part of the South East London sprawl. 1978 or 1979.

I was walking, not long before nightfall, with a young lady, in what was basically suburbia. Out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of something and, looking, saw a bright silver sphere travelling very fast across the cloudless sky, seemingly high up. By the time I had said “look at that!“, it had vanished below the horizon. My companion did not see it.

The next morning, local radio (I think it was called Radio Medway…not sure now) was reporting that hundreds of people had called in with news of having seen the object. [note: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Radio_Kent].

That’s it. No national msm interest, and I still have no idea what I saw, but it was certainly not a plane, weather balloon, or atmospheric condition (to list a few of the usual suggestions). A satellite? I have no idea .

The only other UFO connection I have had was secondhand, told to me by someone who had a far more striking experience.

The lady in question was working (as usual) at night in a security control room at Heathrow Airport. There were windows along one wall. She was alone, and it was the middle of the night. She saw a craft described as not unalike the one shown in the Daily Mail impression above.

It hovered outside her building for several minutes (by her recollection), lights glowing and flashing. It then took off from its hovering state, and disappeared. The witness said that she had been terrified. She said that the UFO was “massive“. No pictures (this was in 1993) because few people then carried telephones with cameras. I had a mobile then, a very heavy Motorola flip phone, but it had no camera (in fact most people did not even have mobile telephones in 1993).

Obviously, a normal aircraft would have been seen by others (of course the UFO may have been seen, but there had been no msm reports), and also would have been detected by the Heathrow air traffic control and/or security or police.

What then was it? I have no idea but alien life is implied, assuming that the account was credible (the lady was truthful, and security-vetted as well, for what that might be worth).

One msm outlet a couple of years ago was suggesting Aman (Israeli military intelligence) rather than MOSSAD (the others mentioned nothing), but who knows? No real difference in the long run.
