[Early 1940s: French girlfriend of an Untersturmfuhrer (2nd lieutenant) of SS-Totenkopf, wearing his uniform tunic and cap, presumably as a joke, and to have her photograph taken]

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/30/russia-ukraine-swap-prisoners-exchange-deal

Russia and Ukraine swap at least 300 prisoners in exchange deal. Some of the freed Ukrainians had been held since war’s early days, while Russians were captured in Ukraine’s Kursk offensive.”

I am sure that they are all happy to go home. Incidentally, I notice that the Ukrainian prisoners shown in the photo —released by the Kiev-regime side— look well; not just happy but also in good health. It rather gives the lie to the stories, put about by the Zelensky regime, that Ukrainian POWs are being starved, brutalized etc by the Russians.

The latter tweeter, a propagandist for Israel and the Jewish-Zionist lobby [https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/alex-hearn-claims-to-oppose-antisemitism-but-undermines-the-fight-against-it/] says that “antisemitism” is a crime, which is not the case in England and Wales (or the rest of the UK). That has been re-iterated on several occasions by judges at both magistrates’ court and Crown Court level. Incidentally, the same is true of so-called “holocaust” “denial” (historical revision or revisionism re. some events of the early/mid 1940s).

I have no idea what Dutch law may say about that, though Jewish influence has always been pervasive in the Netherlands, a result no doubt of the country’s history of banking and commerce.

More from the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14236783/Saudi-Arabias-NEOM-suicide-rape-murder-report-claims.html

A report has claimed that migrant camps built to house construction workers building Saudi Arabia‘s $1trillion NEOM megacity are ‘plagued by gang rape, attempted murder and suicides’.

More than 100,000 workers, mainly from countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh, live in the nightmarish camps where crime and drug use allegedly run rife.

If you took away the unmerited unearned riches the Gulf Arabs have had from the oil and gas found, developed, and refined by Europeans (including European-origined Americans), they would be back riding camels and living in tents. Men of straw.

The destruction wrought by Israeli forces in Gaza can truly be called “Biblical” in both scale and intent, as when the tribes mentioned in the Old Testament fought genocidal wars.

It is idle for Jew-Zionist lawyers (ludicrously, often those who pose as “human rights” specialists) to say that, because of X, Y, and Z, the Jewish/Israeli destruction and continuing slaughter in Gaza (for nearly 15 months now) is notgenocide” for various hair-splitting reasons. What has happened, what is still happening, speaks for itself.

Look at what has happened all around Israel/Palestine for years, for decades. “They” always bring degeneration and destruction to others.

More music

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fela_Sowande]

Played today on Radio 3. The BBC presenter made an apparent error, saying that the composer served in the RAF during the Second World War. If Wikipedia is to be believed (and its version does seem far more credible), Sowande in fact worked at that time as musical adviser and composer in the Colonial Film Unit of the Ministry of Information in London, as well as giving talks on the BBC Africa Service.

Not bad. Showing, at least in my view, the influence of several British composers, including Vaughan Williams.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novooleksandrivka,_Kramatorsk_Raion,_Donetsk_Oblast

Every day, more of the same. The names of the villages mean little to most people, even in the former Soviet Union, but the upshot is that, every single day, Russian forces advance by a few miles, as the Kiev-regime forces fall back.

On that front, once the Russian forces, pushing north, get close to Kharkov, the Kiev-regime forces will be squeezed from at least two sides. Eventually, Kharkov must fall.

Once Kharkov falls, the whole of Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper) will fall to Russian control.

Incidentally, though Kharkov itself is not very well-known to the Western public, it is the second-largest city in Ukraine, and the 19th-largest in Europe (by population).

[Kharkov]

Indeed, 4 of the 10 largest cities in geographic Europe are located in the former Soviet Union (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, and Baku). Minsk is ranked as no.11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_cities_by_population_within_city_limits.

The present Attorney-General is a Jew. Does that mean that he will be rubberstamping more politically-motivated anti-free-speech trials? Possibly. Watch this space…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Hermer,_Baron_Hermer#Early_life,_family_and_education

Toby Young (etc) never stood up for my rights of free speech, nor those of Alison Chabloz, Jez Turner, and other martyrs. Still, his point is still valid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Phillipson

What a horrible, limited mentality so many of such pro-multikulti, “woke”, anti-British persons have…they hate us, so we are not only entitled, but duty-bound, to hate them…

Look at that. Total Jewish/Zionist ethnic supremacism. There you see the real rulers of Kiev-regime Ukraine. For now.

Late tweets

It may seem trivial to be concerned about this very typical 2024 story, but it says something about the decline of Britain over, particularly, the past 20 years, as does the decline of that once-proud chocolate brand, Cadbury’s (now “Cadbury”), bought by a basically Jewish American company (Kraft), then trashed, its production moved to Eastern Europe and Asia, the British factories closed, the British workers sacked, the tradition and pride gone. “Cadbury” is now part of a global brand-owner called Mondelez.

It all betokens a shrinking of horizons, a decline, a sell-out in every way.

Late thoughts on New Year’s Eve

[“Hold up, Guv’nor! 2025 is about to start, and Ian Millard’s still blogging!“]

More seriously

God knows what 2025 will bring to the world, to Europe, to Britain, and to each of us, but we must all keep in mind the necessity for continuing human evolution, and that requires an ethno-cultural and socio-political foundation for a society which, over time, can create the basis for an eventual quantum leap in evolution, a race and society far ahead of any presently in existence.

On that basis, I wish every well-intentioned reader of the blog a Happy New Year!

British Airways

For “pandemic” read, “mostly because of the over-reaction of governments“.

British Airways has parked its entire fleet of Airbus A380 jets and is scrapping its Boeing 747 “Jumbo jet” fleet..BA is burning through £20 million per day…around 10,000 of the 42,000 staff at the start of the coronavirus pandemic will lose their jobs“…[The Independent] https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/british-airways-coronavirus-flights-winter-travel-quarantine-b451198.html

It is about 10 years since I last flew BA (and in the past several years I have had no reason and no money to travel anyway or at all). To me, BA seems symptomatic of so many British companies. It has become just a globalist label, something for rootless cosmopolitans to invest in or speculate in.

The CEO of BA is a Spanish businessman whose career was mostly in the USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81lex_Cruz_(businessman).

You may say, “so what?“, but this is one example of a pattern: globalism, cosmopolitanism, the ripping-out of the heart of a business and replacement of that heart with money. Again, it may be objected that business is all about money. I should say, rather, that business is about money, but not all about money.

We have seen so many parts of the British socio-economic landscape disappear or get trashed in the past 20-30 years. To take a few examples, Cadbury’s chocolate, various other confectionery brands, Thomas Cook, some airlines, familiar shop chains such as Woolworth’s (yes, American in origin, but really Anglo-American: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolworths_Group#History).

Those old businesses had provenance, history, heart. They formed part of the British popular mental landscape.Look at Cadbury’s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury.

Founded 1824. Part of British history. A trading and manufacturing entity, yes, but also one which developed a social ethos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury.

The model village for employees, Bournville [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bournville], was an inspiration for similar settlements across Britain and quite possibly elsewhere, such as in the Soviet Union, where it was commonplace for large enterprises to operate hospitals, clinics, schools, entertainment facilities etc in towns where most people worked in one factory or plant, and which were far from other centres of population.

In recent decades, that whole ethos has been lost in the UK, not only at (to use its new name) Cadbury, but at many companies. Employee loyalty was not valued, brand loyalty was (mistakenly) relied upon. The British public started to boycott Cadbury chocolate once the company was taken over after 2008 by American Jews, who sacked British workers, and even changed the recipe of Cadbury products (as well as shortchanging the public on weight): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irene_Rosenfeld; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadbury#2017_%22Easter%22_controversy.

Read this: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/cadbury-drops-fairtrade-scandal-business-i-watched-ethical-decline-inside-a7451906.html

My job in the audit department was to make sure Cadbury was meeting its commitments on promoting its products ethically, manufacturing them sustainably and looking after its own employees. From the factory in Bucharest to the office in Lima, all my colleagues around the world felt immense pride in what our company was doing to build a better world – as well as giving us the chocolate we loved.”

That all changed in January 2010, when we learned that Cadbury was to be taken over by Kraft.”

The Jewess from America and her satraps did that. Ruined a once-great British company. Why should it surprise? Look at “sir” Philip Green and his activities; and many other examples. Look at, on a yet larger canvas, Boris-idiot’s basically Jewish (Jew-Zionist) “government” of nasty clowns.

The same pattern is seen over and over again, with various factors intertwined but almost always present: finance-capitalism, globalism, lack of honesty, lack of decency, multiculturalism, Jewish financial power.

The public have no affection for these globalized trading and manufacturing entities. Only a new form of society as a whole can heal this: the Threefold Social Order: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_threefolding.

Reverting to the airline industry, BA was set up in 1972 from the merger ofBOAC (founded 1939) and BEA (founded 1946) and later took over independent airlines such as British Caledonian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Caledonian, which many business travellers thought superior from a passenger perspective) and Dan Air: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan-Air).

It is noteworthy, en passant, that even after WW2, quite a few airlines began as small operators, sometimes with only one or two planes: “Dan-Air (Dan Air Services Limited) was an airline based in the United Kingdom and a wholly owned subsidiary of London shipbroking firm Davies and Newman. It was started in 1953 with a single aircraft. Initially, it operated cargo and passenger charter flights from Southend (1953–1955) and Blackbushe airports (1955–1960) using a variety of piston-engined aircraft.” [Wikipedia]; Freddy Laker’s airlines too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Laker.

British Airways is but one large UK-based company facing ruin as a result not so much of “Coronavirus” but because of the over-reaction of the UK government to that virus. People will now only travel (subject to intrusive testing, facemask muzzles, pipsqueak “marshals” and even quarantine requirements), if they really have little choice.

We keep seeing msm obfuscation, talking about how the USA, India etc have “millions of cases”, when per head of population, other countries have far worse death outcomes; Spain, for example, a country with extremely strict facemask and lockdown measures. Is anyone listening? https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

Police alleged to have been “infiltrated” by social-nationalists (in Germany). Makes you think…

When the toytown police state becomes a real police state…

Hitchens’ use of “Brownshirts” is of course mistaken. Liberty only existed incidentally in Weimar Republic Germany. The SA was created to protect NSDAP meetings from Communist/Jew attack. The NSDAP was constantly repressed in pre-1933 Germany, but triumphed in the end because its policies were necessary and its victory divinely ordained.

All the same, does anyone really care what are the views of someone like Peter Jukes? I dare say that the vast majority of British people have never heard of him.

The UK has gone so mad that one has to look twice before being sure that a spoof “government” poster is really a spoof.

Below, a typical 2020 UK “Homo Sovieticus” (at first glance) who wants people to “shut up and do as they are told”…but in fact he was just trying to make a joke. An Irishman somewhat lacking in Irish humour. Trouble is, there are untold thousands who would tweet the same and be deadly serious (in their own little minds):

That question is presumably rhetorical, unless you think that pro-Jew, pro-Israel expenses cheat and cocaine-abuser, Michael Gove, has any idea at all of what he is doing.

Here (below) is the little bastard drunk or drugged in the House of Commons:

Sadly, “someone” has had the better YouTube footage of the same incident removed. The Jew-Zionist lobby, again, no doubt.

I agree.

So much for “freedom”…

Interesting commentary, below, from the USA:

The French were ahead of the British etc in deciding, quite mistakenly, that you could import blacks and browns, teach them all a load of stuff about citizenship and equality etc, and they would wake up one fine day as (in the French case) Frenchmen! Never happened. Never will happen.

As for that little squirt Macron, well…https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/01/09/on-recent-events-in-france/

Look at the crazy (and ignorant) bitch below!

I do not have much time for Angela Rayner, or indeed Labour generally, but this is crushing. Boris-idiot just sits there looking flattened. My sense is that he does not really want to be Prime Minister now that it involves “blood, sweat and tears”, including his own. So long as being Prime Minister meant posing as “World King” and having everyone around him telling him what a fine fellow he was, yes; now, increasingly (?), no.

For the first time, I wonder whether “Boris” will serve out all or even the bulk of his allotted term as PM. He looks defeated.

Hugh Johnson’s Vintage

I used to have this entire series on video. Superb. These extracts are shorter and fewer than the 1980s originals (a number of programmes, each about 25 minutes long), but are still well worth seeing. Erudite and interesting.
