This week, I once again managed to beat political journalist John Rentoul, scoring 6/10 as against his 4/10. I did not know the answers to questions 3, 7, 8, and 9 (though in fact the only completely impossible question was no.3; the others I had heard of but could not bring to mind).

Another person who, in his well-meaning lack of full understanding, thinks that the problem lies with, in this case, Twitter office staff (or Facebook staff, or some newspaper people, or some MPs etc), rather than what might be called “Zionist Occupation Government” [ZOG] and the New World Order [NWO] agenda.
The same sort of well-meaning people often write that “Jews are only a religion” (etc)…
I agree, much as I despise the “Conservatives”. A Labour government would mean Jewish-lobby puppets Yvette Cooper and Rachel Reeves as Cabinet ministers. Nein danke!

China is now the decisive player on the world stage. The Russia-Ukraine situation shows that plainly.
The USA still has massive nuclear weapons destructive power, but is a colossus on legs of straw, “led”, officially, by a President who is plainly afflicted by old-age dementia.
Ukraine
Interesting analysis, much of which agrees with my own:
The above analysis goes astray towards the end, when it talks about a massive insurgency after an expected Russian victory and occupation. That analysis leaves out the fact that most of the potential Ukrainian insurgents fighting the potential Russian occupation forces would be west of the Dnieper.
I should not expect a continuing Russian occupation west of the Dnieper, except around Kiev and, also, on the Black Sea littoral.
The other factor not given full weight is Russian air power, not only missiles but also planes. Russia has a total of 3,000-4,000 (some estimates say 4,500) fighter aircraft alone (obviously not all on the “Ukrainian front”), whereas Ukraine is said to have about 67. Even if only a third of the Russian fighter strength (and at the lower total) were to be deployed to the relevant theatre, that would be 1,000 jet fighters against as few as 50 Ukrainian. 20 to 1…

1. The polio story as you learned it is wrong. It’s one of the most often misunderstood sequence of events in the last two hundred years. I wanted to explain a few things about the disease to help people understand what actually happened. pic.twitter.com/xT7YjIb4kZ
3. One of the next mentions was from Louisiana in 1841. A few children came down with paralysis. The supposed cause: teething. Why would teething be associated with paralysis?https://t.co/t9r316h7N1
5. This was a new phenomenon: Doctors had never seen it before and didn’t know why it was happening. Research began to reveal that the cause of paralysis were lesions on the grey part of the spinal cord.
7. A poliomyelitis was a lesion on your spinal cord. You could have more than one of them. But they didn’t know why children had begun developing them, seemingly out of nowhere.
11. This wasn’t a fringe treatment, but something as common as Tylenol might be considered today. If the metal arsenic was known to cause poliomyelitis, then perhaps, so could mercury.
13. A new pesticide was invented in 1892 called lead arsenate near Boston, Mass to combat the spread of a foreign invader—the gypsy moth. It combined lead and arsenic together because it couldn’t be easily washed off.https://t.co/U4tey0vS6r
15. The pesticide began being sprayed aggressively and within two years, the first real epidemics of poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) began to appear in the northeastern U.S. Rather than a few children coming down with something, it started getting into the hundreds.
17. I say strange because the poliovirus doesn’t affect animals (besides Old World Monkeys). These early outbreaks are referred to as the first polio outbreaks in the U.S., but we know it couldn’t have been due to the poliovirus if animals were being struck.
19. Koch’s Postulates were some research guidelines that basically stipulated there was a single causative microbe for every disease. It WAS true for all of the other diseases: cholera, typhoid fever, diphtheria.
21. But the cloud of Koch’s Postulates hung over their research, and many scientists felt that—like all the other diseases—poliomyelitis HAD to be due to ONE thing: a bacteria or a virus. They just had to find it.
23. At this time, viruses were still very difficult to work with. They couldn’t see them, only deduce their presence by the symptoms they might cause. In 1908, a virus was found to be able to cause paralysis in monkeys.https://t.co/ciMlSmOLVl
25. With Koch’s Postulates guiding their search, they began to focus on this one virus as THE cause of poliomyelitis, despite knowing there were many other causes. This mistake would create suffering for millions of people over the next few decades.
27. Some have suggested improvements in sanitation as the cause. They suggest that better sanitation prevented people from picking up the infections as children, when they were protected by their mother’s breastmilk antibodies.
29. Also, the early outbreaks were always in rural areas, where there was little change in sanitation practices. Not coincidentally, these rural areas were subjected to heavy pesticide spraying.
31. I believe ingested pesticides, known to cause cellular membrane dysfunction, created a path directly from the intestines to the bottom of the spinal cord, located directly behind, for the viruses and bacteria to take hold.
I cannot repost the whole thread (56 tweets) but it is interesting. I myself have no idea how accurate it is, and am unqualified to judge what is said, but have posted the above with the idea that others might be able to take it further.
It being the 104th anniversary of the Bolshevik coup d’etat of 1917, and in a spirit of “let’s not be beastly to the Russians” (though most of the significant Bolsheviks were in fact Jews or part-Jews, and not ethnic Russians), I offer to readers of my blog some cheerful latter-day Soviet music:

“Communist propaganda would sometimes include statements such as ‘we include almost all the commandments of the Gospel in our ideology.’ The difference is that the Gospel asks all this to be achieved through love, through self-limitation, but socialism only uses coercion.”

Seward Collins
I had never heard of Seward Collins. Apparently, he was a (limited) supporter of both Hitler and Mussolini, though closer ideologically to G.K. Chesterton [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._K._Chesterton] and Hilaire Belloc [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilaire_Belloc], both of whom would be better known (to the wider public) today had they not been (up to a point) “cancelled” by the Jew-Zionist element in recent decades.
The truth of the matter is that the imbecile Palestine flag carriers do not know the answer to the question the Zionist asks them. Israel needs the world to be dependent upon fossil oils because it sustain its strategic relevance in the region and beyond …
Anti-Zionist Jew Gilad Atzmon [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilad_Atzmon] makes a good point. Naive/stupid Americans, especially, are not infrequently heard to make the absurd assertion that the USA has only one ally in the Middle East, namely Israel. It never seems to occur to those idiots that the most powerful state in the world, with an immense nuclear, chemical, biological, and conventional arsenal, and a population of at least 330 millions, scarcely needs the help of a tiny though well-armed state (Israel) which has fewer than 10 million inhabitants and which is largely dependent on American aid (both financial and in terms of armaments). The tail wags the dog…
If oil and gas becomes less necessary, then American grip on the hydrocarbon producers in the region becomes less vital. Indeed, the increase since 1989 in both oil and gas production outside the Middle East region has already had a slightly similar effect.
Gilad Atzmon has been another victim of a campaign of Jew-Zionist “lawfare” conducted by a Zionist cabal in the UK.
Interesting. I knew a very informed spiritual person in the 1980s, a bookseller in Museum Street, London, who predicted something along such lines, but also that it would be ruled by Jews based at the Temple Mount/Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, which would be “cleansed” of Islamic worship by that time.

On the other hand, the sheer Satanic cunning of the “panicdemic” is that the System has, as Sun Tzu recommends in The Art of War, managed to convince the majority that restrictions and diktats are good [Sun Tzu: “to win without war is the supreme excellence“].

This is one —not the only— danger faced by the West and, more widely, “Christendom”— migration-invasion by adherents of a rather unsophisticated “Dark Ages” religion, which started off and continues as a cult of conquest, albeit disguised as peaceful.
There are other backward forms of religion in the world, but few that wish to conquer the world.
Christianity at one time spread partly via conquest (eg in the Americas), but has now abandoned forcible conversion of the “heathen” (unless you count those ghastly American missionaries in the Amazon and elsewhere). Hinduism and Judaism, as well as other religions such as Shinto, do not look for converts, and in their purest forms combine religion and race, or ethnicity. Buddhism is open to those wishing to practise it, but does not demand adherence.
It might be argued that, as a collective, Jews are aiming at world domination, but that aim, if aim it is, is not based on the Judaic religion (in terms of “converting” non-Jews to that religion), but on simple economic and/or military force, as well as control of world msm and finances.

It's worse than that @livingxmastrees. In 2017, it was clear that those in the BBC doing the commemoration of the centenary of the Russian Revolution didn't know that there were in fact two revolutions, and that the Bolksheviks didn't overthrow the Tsar. They overthrew democracy. https://t.co/R33ZfmPyoS
Quite. The “average joe” may “know” that there was “a” Russian Revolution, but what he [thinks he] “knows”, he knows only because somewhere in his mind is a misunderstood or part-understood conflation of biased and simplistic school lessons, and a general milieu in film and other msm output of to the effect that “the Tsars and aristocracy, living in luxury, burdened the workers and peasants, who then overthrew them and supported Lenin and the Bolsheviks“.
Not that there was no grain of truth in that. All big lies (such as the “holocaust” farrago) have to have some basis in reality, however slight. Russia before (and after) “the Revolution” did have terrible social problems, exploitation etc, which before 1917 included absentee and rentier landlords, and a social system that paid little heed to the poor.
The devil is, of course, in the detail. Few (even those today professing to be “fully-automated luxury Communists”) seem to know that there were many shades of opinion in pre-1917 —and, for a while, in post-1917— Russia. Many parties. Many tendencies.
Few know that the “real” Russian Revolution, as such, was in February 1917 (March 1917 in the new calendar), and that that Revolution was itself overthrown in October (old calendar) 1917, by a coup d’etat or palace revolution planned by Lenin and the Bolsheviks, and carried out as a military operation; it was a putsch in one or two cities of a vast empire, not a popular uprising, as many now think, and as the Soviet system propagandized via the films of Eisenstein.
The original soundtrack (originally played in cinemas) is now replaced by the 1966 one written by Shostakovitch, which uses music of his tone poem October, and which forms also part of his 12th Symphony, The Year 1917:
Of course, even today, relatively few people realize that the second “Russian Revolution”, i.e. the Bolshevik coup d’etat in the Autumn of 1917, was basically Jewish. Almost all the leaders of the Bolsheviks were Jews, or (like Lenin) part-Jew. Even Churchill, though later himself totally in the pocket of the Jews, at the time (1917-1918) wrote articles in the Morning Post (at the time, the favoured newspaper of the UK aristocracy and wealthy) about it. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morning_Post#Controversial_publications.
True enough, @admcollingwood But the Germans and Austrians had long played with Russian revolutionaries, in the hope of supplanting the Russians in Poland, and Ukraine. Lenin, arrested as an enemy alien in Austria-Hungary in 1914,was swiftly freed because he was seen as an ally. https://t.co/jo6zWt6w7O
I was told, at second-hand, a story about Lenin in exile. I knew a lady, born 1926, whose father had been a Graf (Count), and a German aristocratic hereditary landowner in East Prussia, the area abutting the Baltic, and now split between Poland and Russia (including Kaliningradskaya Oblast, the region around former Konigsberg [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nigsberg].
The Graf was descended from an early master of the Teutonic Knights [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teutonic_Order], and his estate near Danzig [after 1945, Gdansk, and now a “Polish” city] comprised over 20,000 hectares, or about 50,000 acres. The mother of the lady I knew came from Austria, where her family also held estates.
The father of the lady I knew was sympathetic to socialism when a student in Vienna or Munich, or Zurich (I forget now which of those I was told, I think Vienna). He was apparently acquainted with Lenin, who was in exile in that part of the world (he was certainly in both Zurich and Munich at the time).
Whichever city it was (as I say, I think Vienna, though possibly Zurich), Lenin was arrested, but was released on the intervention of said well-connected student and his diplomatic contacts.
“Irony of Fate”: the father of the lady I knew was shot in 1939 or 1940 by either the Red Army or NKVD, during the upheavals in the Baltic region (they were travelling at the time by car from Romania). The estate near Danzig was finally taken over by the forces of Sovietism in 1945, the main house and park becoming a hospital, then an agricultural college.
The lady I knew (who had been taken prisoner/hostage by the NKVD in 1939 and was confined in Siberia and then Northern Kazakhstan for three years before escaping…a long story) was able to revisit her childhood home, now in Poland, in the mid-1990s. She stayed in Sopot [former Zoppot] in the hotel she remembered visiting in childhood: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Hotel,_Sopot].
A sentimental journey, and no doubt a bitter-sweet one.
[The Grand Hotel, Sopot —former Zoppot—, now part of the Sofitel luxury hotel chain]
Life goes on, even after the most enormous upheavals…
Jews get “restitution” of property (and/or other payments), property supposedly confiscated by Germans in the late 1930s, or early 1940s, but non-Jews get nothing in compensation for land or whatever taken by Soviet or other forces, despite having held that land for centuries (as contrasted with the recently-acquired monies or commercial properties etc allegedly taken from Jews in the interwar period).

The only thing that gives me pause is that many such online nuisances… trolls, wastes of space, whatever… make a big noise about “giving up the Twitter account”, then slink back a while later. Many trolls have done that in recent years.
In fact Twitter is a waste of time now. Most of the interesting accounts (such as mine, if I say so myself) are gone, in my case because a pack of Jews conspired together to make (as they do) malicious complaint about my tweets. That was in 2018, at which time I had about 3,000 Twitter followers (equivalent to maybe 6,000 today, had the account remained), whereas I see that “Slatfascists” still only has 2,358, three and a half years later. Not that “followers” mean much. In fact, the real influence of Twitter (as I have blogged before) is very limited.
Still, “Slatfascists” (who may or may not have been “doxed” recently) still has the privilege of reading daily (or, as he no doubt describes it, “monitoring”) my blog. He has read me since I started blogging in 2016, and can still do that when he goes back down the rabbit-hole.
As a matter of fact, my guess is that “Slatfascists” will be back on Twitter before long, just like so many others. After all, what else interests him (apart from reading my blog, and rubbing his hands when someone like Alison Chabloz gets prosecuted)? Apparently, playing some absurd “space cadet” electronic game…
Still, Twitter will be at least marginally more pleasant for his absence (as long as it lasts).

Unwilling to register with the Independent, I cannot read that article, but the conclusion seems (based on the quoted remark) to be right. Starmer, the Jewish Lobby puppet, is (as I predicted from the start) hopeless and as dull as ditchwater, but he is no more “the problem” for Labour than was the rather different Corbyn.
Labour’s problem is that there is no longer a “proletariat” or (in the old sense) a “working class”, there is no more a bloc “Labour vote”, there are no more, or very few, “working class communities”, as such, no nationalized industries of any size, and no great loyalty to Labour, even in its traditional North and North-East heartlands.
The Labour Party itself has changed out of all recognition since its highest point of popularity in 1945. From being a largely socialist party, it moved to social-democracy and then, arguably, in the 1990s under Blair, ditched even that. It became really just a label (or as the egregious waste of space, freeloader, and careerist, Jess Phillips MP, put it, “just a ****ing rose“). Rather like those Latin American countries where the almost-identical parties distinguish themselves by colour: the Blancos v. the Colorados. Like football teams, or the racing silks in the Hippodrome at Byzantium.
It is hard to see now for what the Labour Party stands. Starmer seems to be saying that he supports almost all of what Boris-Idiot’s maladministration does, but that “Boris” should do it better!
In fact I saw a satirical comment to the effect that, were the “Conservative” misgovernment to reintroduce workhouses, Labour under Starmer would agree, but cavil that that should be done more efficiently and slightly more humanely! A joke? Yes, sort-of…but then look at the attack on the unemployed, disabled etc over the past 15-20 years. Which party really started that? Labour…Yes, the “Conservative” Jew-lobby regime of David Cameron-Levita made it worse, but all that nonsense started under Gordon Brown and his lunatic misgovernment, via Alastair Darling, Stephen Timms etc. They, not the Conservatives, brought in the crazily dysfunctional —and also dishonest— ATOS carpetbaggers, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_Capability_Assessment#History.
As I have often said, Labour is now basically the party of the blacks and browns and/or public service workers, which is why Labour eulogizes the NHS constantly (though the NHS is a very hit-and-miss service overall).
Really, one has to ask (again), “what (and who) is Labour for?”
I imagine that the victor in the upcoming local elections will be apathy, with few people turning out to vote.
This is the moment when a social-national party might make hay. If a social-national party actually existed. A real one, I mean, not the joke ones presently around.
Well, this week I did no better than John Rentoul; we both scored only 4/10 (though if I were to follow Rentoul’s usual practice, I could award myself an extra half-point for knowing that Father Ted was set on an Irish island, though I did not know its name).

I have no particular animus against Boris-Idiot’s latest “ho” (to use the amusing American black term), but it is scandalous if (and it seems that) the woman has any but purely peripheral and personal influence on national affairs. After all, with the best will in the world, she got to her present position of influence on her back, to put it perhaps slightly crudely and…well, let’s leave that there! Suffice to say that she has never been elected, or even appointed, to any position of significance (and, no, I do not regard her unsuccessful period pumping out propaganda for Conservative Party HQ as that).
The woman likes animals, we are told. I approve heartily of that; and if (as it seems from what I have seen in photos) she has no taste, or employs an expensive interior decorator who has no taste, well…that is the way of the world. If her refurbishment at Downing Street is more “nouveau” than simply new, well…again…these things happen.
I should not like to tar Carrie Symonds with the brush justly censuring Boris-Idiot, but that immunity disappears if, as often claimed, she is interfering with, or even deciding, policy.

'People need to separate Russia, its people and their legitimate fear of invasion from the Putin tyranny, with its disgusting corruption and its denial of true opposition and free speech' My latest talk with @Iromghttps://t.co/iNYMWgNTn0
I have blogged about this before. Putin’s Russia has great inequalities and, worse, inequities, but Putin has been hugely better than drunken oaf Yeltsin, whose 1990s regime was characterized by Jewish fraud and theft on a huge scale (Jew “oligarchs” such as Abramovitch, Berezovsky etc, who in effect “stole Russia”), and by rampant crime, gangsterism, corruption and the disguised slaughter (by hunger and lack of medical care) of millions, especially the elderly.
I was in Moscow (though not for long) in 1993 and was able to witness a society in radical transition which, at times, in places, amounted to being on the brink of chaos.
Putin and his regime are imperfect. After 1953, Khrushchev, one of the worst of Stalin’s cronies, instituted radical reform (the “Thaw”). He made his “Secret Speech” in 1956, which began the shattering of Stalinism.
Khrushchev too was not perfect, far from it. He was, however, necessary, and the only way to get the Soviet Union out from under Stalinism. Putin was the necessary leader after 1999, to put Russia back on its feet.
When I returned to Moscow in 2007, almost all obvious traces of both Sovietism and Yeltsin-era semi-chaos had been obliterated. The Moscow I saw in 2007 was not all to my liking, but it was a functioning society, in a way that 1993 Moscow was not.

2/3 @zonderman7 It’s extraordinary that everyone has heard of the so-called ‘sealed train’ which took the Bolsheviks to Petrograd – yet few grasp that this was a destabilisation operation run and financed by Germany. https://t.co/8KTvcgifrJ
Tweeter “Zonderman” has, like so many others, a cartoon view of history. As for Hitchens, he mentions the German WW1 foreign policy aspect of Lenin and the Bolsheviks being sent to Petersburg in 1917, but neglects to see (or prefers to ignore) that the Bolshevik coup d’etat against the first revolutionary government was bankrolled by New York and other Jews. It was, in effect, a Jewish takeover.
As for what “Zonderman” calls “12 years of madness under Hitler“, it would be more accurate to say that the Weimar Republic (1919-1933) was “14 years of madness, brought to an end by Hitler”.
All that and far, far more, brought into being in the merely 6 years of precarious peace (1933-1939).

Someone needs a history lesson. I dislike having to correct those, with some of whose views I might be in agreement, but tweeter “@TimWhit22501381” is quite wrong in his dates.
While I do not dispute the murderous nature of the Bolsheviks, nor necessarily the numbers killed under Bolshevik and Soviet rule (though numbers are always unreliable), the Bolsheviks took power in a coup d’etat about 6 months after the first revolution of 1917.
History is important. Historical facts are important.

It is true that the Afrikaaners were a hard people to like (I met quite a few in 1977, when I was in Rhodesia), but the black Africans are not capable of maintaining a civilized society of the “Western” (i.e. white European-origined) type.
The other parts of black Africa quite quickly reverted to savagery or chaos after colonies became “independent” “states”, and after most white people left. What is in black (sub-Saharan) Africa that is not savage or chaotic is, for the most part, like that because European people keep things going, either because they were born there and stayed, or are operating businesses or farms there, or are working for charities and other NGOs in those countries.
South Africa continues to decline, as it must under non-European rule. Slower, true, than has been the case in the rest of black Africa, because the proportion of Europeans is that much higher (Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, never had more than about 5% of its population white, a figure now far less than 1%, in fact around a quarter of one percent).
The South Africans I really cannot bear are the English South Africans, who were always whining about both the Afrikaaners and the blacks, and about apartheid, which had its flaws but also its merits.
Now, in the UK, we see many of those English-speaking South Africans working here (eg as doctors in the NHS). They display no intent to return to work in the fake “rainbow nation” beloved of the international conspiracy, yet pretend to love what South Africa has become, and decry “racism”…
If only the South African whites had voted differently in the early 1990s and had rejected what amounted to the ANC/Mandela takeover. The whites-only referendum was close; it might have gone the other way. Then, with Soviet support (money and arms) for the ANC, SWAPO etc gone, South Africa would have been able to crush rebellion and to survive, reforming itself slowly and intelligently, under white European control.

Yet more propaganda aimed at the destruction of our white European race and culture: the Google graphic for International Women’s Day (today, 8th of March) shows a large brown/black hand grasping an obviously white and obviously female hand (with painted nails). I suppose that it will be claimed that both hands are supposed to be female and that the picture shows “solidarity” or some such. Deliberately ambiguous…

The above musical fossil, dating from 1977, displays contrived (?) sentiments about “revolution”. As late as 1977, elements of the Soviet state were pretending to be all about proletarian revolution!
I recall commenting to my then girlfriend, about 1982, how the Soviet Union (where I had never been) seemed fossilized; I referred as example to the masthead of Pravda, which showed the cruiser Aurora, the naval vessel which, in October 1917 (old-style), fired the first shot signalling the Bolshevik seizure of power in Petrograd.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cruiser_Aurora].
[the cruiser Aurora, as shown on the medal, the Order of the Red Banner; the words say “October Revolution”]
My then girlfriend, though certainly not Communist, disagreed with my analysis (that the Soviet Union was fossilized), and she had in a sense the advantage of me, having lived there for a number of years up to about 1978 or so and knew it, in general, far better than me. Still, I was right and she was wrong. Why?
There is a natural human tendency to accept that tomorrow will be at least similar to today. The daily commuter who goes on the train every day, until he dies unexpectedly overnight, or hits the Lotto.
The “Russian” Revolution seems today to have been almost inevitable, looking back over a century, and perhaps even two centuries (i.e. from the Decembrist revolt of 1825 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decembrist_revolt]. Hindsight is always so.
The Russians of 1917, most of them, were taken by surprise when the first (February, old-style) 1917 Revolution happened. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_Revolution]. Lenin, in exile, dismissed it as unimportant, or at least not as “the” predicted revolution (once-bitten, twice-shy, perhaps, Lenin having said, inaccurately, in 1905, that the uprising in that year was “the” revolution): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1905_Russian_Revolution
In 1917, having heard of the revolution, Lenin only arrived in revolutionary Petrograd 2 months later! He then started to organize the coup d’etat which occurred 6 months later and which is now known as the “October Revolution” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Revolution].
When Lenin arrived in Petrograd, he had, in all Russia, probably only between 10,000-50,000 members in his Bolshevik faction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolsheviks#Demographics_of_the_two_factions. Lenin prevailed because his faction had discipline, and because he was unwilling to compromise.
My point here, though, is that it is hard to tell when significant and even —perhaps especially— seismic change will occur, in society or in the world as a whole. Lenin managed to seize power in late 1917 mainly because the real revolution, earlier in the year, had not stabilized into a firm and effective government. Lenin was not the creator or instigator of that first event, in fact he was irrelevant in respect of it.
Turning from events in 1917 to those toward the end of the Soviet period, the Soviet Union had given up the idea of revolution decades before: after the death of Stalin in 1953, and arguably since the exile and —1940— death of Trotsky, or even earlier (“Socialism in one country” was mooted as far back as 1924, and put into practice, in part, in the 1930s).
The “revolution” stuff after that was strictly for the naive: foreign fools and, in the Soviet Union itself, mostly Young Pioneers (akin to the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of Britain) and maybe a few Komsomol members.
Yet the image, right up to the collapse of 1989 and the official dissolution of 1991, both outside the Soviet Union and to some extent, officially, within it, was that the Revolution, in some sense, was still guiding the society, along with the Marxism-Leninism still published and taught everywhere (but in reality ignored and/or privately scorned).
In my own unpublished work of 1990, I said that Fukuyama was simplistic and wrong. No-one took any notice of course, because the book was never published, and anyway I was an unknown, completely obscure, whereas Fukuyama was (according to System blurbs and drones) a “respected scholar” etc. Yet I was right and he was wrong.
In fact, a few people do seem to have agreed with my view: “Authors like Ralf Dahrendorf argued in 1990 that the essay gave Fukuyama his 15 minutes of fame, which will be followed by a slide into obscurity.[14][15] “[Wikipedia]
The West has the same problem as had the Soviet Union: an inability to accept its own sclerosis.
The future is, perhaps ipso facto, unexpected. In 1928, the NSDAP got 2.6% of the national vote in Germany. Hitler was considered a joke by many both in Germany and outside. As he later said, “They were laughing at [me and National Socialism] but they are not laughing now!“
What about that 2.6% vote? In 1932, it became 33%, and then, in 1933, 44%. Hitler was Chancellor, unchallenged, and everything changed in Germany and in Europe.
Moving to the UK of 2020, there are parallels. The Coronavirus situation has been blown up out of all proportion, allowing the System (not only in the UK, but across the “West”) to attempt a “Reset” of the Western world. The political sphere in the UK has been frozen. People cannot gather, or even easily talk face to face.
Parliament is not in any real sense sitting; in fact Parliament has been sidelined, unable or unwilling to scrutinize new “laws”, laws passed not by Parliament, but rammed through as secondary legislation, using obscure statutes, and by a would-be despotic government headed by the biggest idiot of the lot, the part-Jew (ex?) public entertainer, Boris Johnson, aka Boris-idiot, sitting on his pediment (of a Conservative Party majority of 80).
In other words, Parliament may still exist but its useful life in its present form has ended. Not just the Commons: the House of Lords now has nearly 800 members. The quantity is a problem, but so is the quality. Boris-idiot has added 38 “peers” just recently. Our “legislators” now include cricketer “lord” Ian Botham, pseudo-intellectual “baroness” Claire Fox of the Brexit Party and the Revolutionary Communist Party (!), and many many other deadheads, such as the failed bra-designer “entrepreneuse”— and so many others that I do not choose to list them all.
What about the Monarchy? It is being held together as a once-respected institution by a public relations effort and by the fact that the Queen is still there. The Queen is a link with the past, with Britain as it was when it was 99% white, and when it however had a global empire etc.
There are efforts being put in to make the public believe that “King Charles III” (already nearly 72) and then “King William V” (now 38) will take the place of the present Queen. On paper, perhaps, but not in terms of mass psychology.
Of course we also have the lesser lights and hangers-on, such as the dim “cuck” Harry and his “Royal Mulatta”, entitled arrogant idiot and doormat for several Jews, Andrew, and theatrical am-drammer Edward; and their stupid spoiled offspring.
Then we have the other pillars of English life, on paper: the Bar, the “free” Press, the Church of England etc. All now facades, mere Potemkin villages.
Will this present society survive the coming years? I think not. True, there is at present little sign of upheaval in the UK, despite the above-mentioned matters, despite mass immigration (migration-invasion), despite Boris-idiot inviting 4 million Chinese to come to live here, despite everything. That may not be the last word, though.
Was there obvious sign of imminent political upheaval in the Germany of 1928? No. In fact, Germany seemed to have finally found stability both economically and politically by 1928. Then came the Wall Street Crash followed by the Great Depression.
Was there obvious sign of upheaval in the Russia of, say, 1916? Some, by reason of the war with the Central Powers, and the consequent poverty and general discontent. However, if you take it back to 1913, there was no such sign.
“Extremist” solutions to Britain’s problems may be unpopular in 2020; by 2022 or 2023, they may be the only ones that seem to make any sense.

God, that horrible cruel ape! I have often thought that T.E. Lawrence, “Lawrence of Arabia”, has a lot to answer for. Had Lawrence not fanned the flames of Arab nationalism and indeed Saudi nationalism, the Western states, and in fact maybe even just the European empires, could easily have taken the oil of Arabia and the surrounding region for the use of the advanced part of the world, and without having to give vast sums to any of the Arabs. Most of the wealth of the Arabs has been squandered anyway, one way or the other.

Religious and occult literature is replete with learned disquisitions about the sacred power of the Name. We see that, in Genesis, the Bible itself starts with the words “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” In the New Testament, this theme is continued. Jesus Christ renamed some people who had “come over to him”, such as Peter. Others, later, renamed themselves, to mark their “ideological” or spiritual transformation, as when Saul became Paul after his experience on the road to Damascus.
In Rome, Octavius becomes the Emperor Augustus or Caesar Augustus eventually (the style Augustus Princeps was bestowed upon him by the Senate of Rome in 27 B.C., when he was 35).
In early mediaeval Spain, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar is given the name El Cid (from the Arabic for “lord”, sidi) to crown his mission. Likewise, in the Christian monastic tradition, the postulant chooses or is given a new name, often one referencing a deceased saint. The same is true of religious leaders such as bishops, metropolitans, popes etc. Gandhi is called Mahatma Gandhi, same surname but elevated by the new forename.
In literature, we see that the hero who fights perceived evil, particularly if doing so covertly, takes a new name, a nom de guerre: the Scarlet Pimpernel was an early example, followed by many another, right up to the “superheroes” of the 20th and 21st centuries: Superman, Batman, Spiderman etc.
In the field of espionage too, we see that sometimes a secret agent who becomes a known character is given or takes a name: the White Rabbit, the Welshman etc. Mata Hari…
Politically, the same applies: the anarchist Bruno Traven (itself a pseudonym) was known in early 1920s Germany as der Ziegelbrenner (“the Brickburner”). Better known were the noms de guerre of the Bolshevik leadership: Lenin (V.I Ulyanov), from the river Lena; Stalin (I.V. –or JV– Djugashvili), from “steel”, Trotsky (L.D. Bronstein), a Russification or Polonization of the original Jewish (Yiddish/German-style) name. In fact, most Bolshevik leaders took on longlasting pseudonyms, in a macabre aping of those old religious orders: Scriabin became Molotov (from molot, “hammer”), though he was a rare real ethnic Russian. Most of the Bolsheviks who changed name did so partly to disguise their otherwise all-too-obvious Jewish identity. Having said that, the new names of the leaders also often spelled out the new strong self-image: “Steel”, “Hammer” etc. [Stalin and Molotov were among the few non-Jews].
Though German National Socialists were not generally given to changing name and in fact disapproved on principle, some did so temporarily, while on the run or on special missions. Hitler himself used the nom de guerre “Wolf”, Herr Wolf”, and “Herr Doktor Wolf” while evading State agents in Munich after the failure of the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923. Hitler himself did often say that it was fortuitous that his name was Hitler and not, as it perhaps might have been, Schicklgruber
“Heil Sch…!” you get my meaning. Names are important. Many a showbusiness personality has achieved fame and fortune only after changing name. Beyond even that, the use of “transformational vocabulary” can change, with the name, the sense, the sense of mission or purpose. Thus, the U.S. combined operation “Desert Shield” of 1990 became “Desert Storm” of 1991, as defence turned to attack.
The use of a particular name for a political party or group can energize it and make it stand out: En Marche!, le Front National, the Angry Brigade, Leave and so on.
An allied aspect is that of the Invocation, a word or form of words designed to link the material with the spiritual, to send up prayer or supplication, and to bring down power to the Earth. “Heil!” is an obvious example. “Heil Hitler!” which eventually (in just a few years) replaced the likes of “Good day” and “goodbye” in, at least official, Germany. Hitler’s speeches are often very well-written, erudite, informed, but the power of Hitler’s oratory was not founded on its content, but on something above and beyond content. Yet that still required words as a basis.
When we consider how to pull the UK and Europe out of the mess into which it is sliding, we must consider the sacred power of the Word and use it.
We have all heard of the theatrical cliche of the actor who achieves “overnight success”, having in fact worked hard against all the odds for years. The same is often true of writers, painters and other artists. Not forgetting scientists. It was Edison who, on the failure of his (supposedly) 2,000th lightbulb experiment, is said to have said: “I have not failed. I have just discovered the 2,000th way not to invent the incandescent lightbulb.” At a later time, he of course succeeded. Many things follow the pattern: a long period of non-movement, then sudden success (or sudden failure of something, often after long stagnation).
One can call this a tipping-point, or characterize it by some other metaphor. The aircraft which suddenly fails by reason of metal fatigue, the ship which finally turns over after ice has built up on its external structure in Arctic waters, the huge empire which “suddenly” staggers and falls. On the other hand, there is that actor with his “overnight” success, that composer whose works suddenly find favour, the small political group which “suddenly” rises to prominence and power.
The Bolsheviks were a small group of societal rejects mostly living in internal or external exile, or in prison. Many were not even Russian. Jews predominated in their higher councils (despite forming only 10% of the entire membership), but there were also Georgians and others. In fact, the Bolshevik Party only had 8,400 members in 1905 and, though that increased to 46,100 by 1907, by 1910 the numbers had slipped back to about 5,000. Few would then have imagined either that the mighty Russian Empire would collapse or that the tiny faction of Bolsheviks could seize control of what was left. We know the rest: a failing war and an impoverished population, an initial attempt by others at “moderate” revolution and then a coup d’etat by one small group in one corner of a vast empire.
The lesson: a small and marginalized group, disciplined ideologically and practically, can both seize power and institute an entirely new form of society, once that tipping point or crisis point has been reached.
In post-WW1 Bavaria, Adolf Hitler became the 7th member of the German Workers’ Party [DAP], which may also have had an unknown number (estimates vary from mere dozens to as many as 15,000) of loose supporters in the beerhalls of 1919 Munich.
By 1923, this tiny and marginalized group was able to attempt the Beer Hall Putsch [aka Hitler-Ludendorff-Putsch], but it is important to note that, despite the support of Ludendorff and a few other notables, the actual number of putschists involved was small: the main march headed by Hitler was only 2,000-strong (immediately after the putsch failed, 3,000 students from the university also marched in support and to lay wreaths). Indeed, even had the putsch succeeded, Hitler would only have taken power in one city of one region within the German state as a whole.
The membership of the NSDAP grew steadily, reaching 108,000 by 1928. Electorally, however, the NSDAP was doing worse in 1928 (receiving only 2.6% of the national vote) than it had done in 1924, no doubt a reflection of the growing prosperity in the intervening years (i.e. since the infamous hyperinflation finished in 1924). Despite that poor showing, once the Great Depression started to affect Germany after 1929, the NSDAP was able to gain the trust of ever-more voters: the vote in 1932 was 37% and then 33% (in the two elections of that year), growing to 44% in 1933. Adolf Hitler then took full power, having been appointed Chancellor in 1932.
A different example: UKIP grew from a few people in a pub in 1991 to a peak in the 2012-2015 period, but has not the ideological discipline or revolutionary intent to “seize power” even by electoral means. It missed its chance and will probably not get any further. Still, its growth, in the UK context, is interesting. Its founder, Alan Sked, was a former Liberal candidate who stood as “Anti-Federalist” candidate for the seat of Bath in 1992 (i.e. after UKIP had been formed), receiving 117 votes [0.2%].
UKIP had virtually no members until the late 1990s, though by 2015 the membership had grown to nearly 50,000 (now 30,000). As for its vote share, that grew to nearly 13% by 2015, but the UK’s unfair “First Past The Post” [FPTP] electoral system meant no gains.
FPTP voting itself illustrates the “tipping point” idea, as happened in Scotland: the SNP had fairly good support for decades, but few MPs until the tipping point was reached. Now it has 50% support, but almost 100% of Westminster seats. Why was the tipping point reached? Cultural identity rising, living standards falling, entrenched Labour failing. The point was reached–and the Labour vote collapsed.
UKIP has the same problem. So long as it has only 10% or even 15% of votes, it cannot get more than one or two MPs. Were it to get to 25% support, the situation would tip and UKIP would have perhaps 100 MPs. Except that that will probably not happen…
In fact, the Bath constituency mentioned above is instructive: Alan Sked got only 117 votes (0.2%) in 1992; in 2015 the UKIP candidate received nearly 3,000 votes (over 6%), but was still only 5th (Sked came in 6th in 1992)
The difference between UKIP’s situation and that of the Bolsheviks or NSDAP is that UKIP has no really firm ideological or organizational structure. Even if society came to a political tipping point, UKIP might well be unable to take advantage of that.
A new and properly-run social nationalist party could take most of the votes of UKIP as well as those which formerly went to the BNP and others. That however, could only ever be a foundation for electoral success. That success itself would depend on the rising star of the new party meeting the fading star of the old parties. It is a question of timing and of Fate. The tipping point for the whole society would be key.
