Saturday quiz

Well, 8/10 this week, thus again trumping political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 8 and 9.

Certainly true of the UK, France, and Germany.

The BBC had one of its goblin drones on BBC News this morning, “explaining” that “of course” the recent Southampton murderer, though a Sikh, was “not an immigrant” and is “British“…

Not in any real sense.

For me, there are several types of migrant-invader, among which, the “illegals”, the superficially “legal” and, also, those born here but to those of non-European/non-white parents (either one parent or both).

Incidentally, I still oppose the Southampton protests (and all similar protests), particularly if they are violent or forceful, not because I would —under all circumstances— oppose such protests but because, as matters stand, the protesters have not the numbers, leadership, or discipline to achieve victory in the field.

Fact.

The decline in fertility across the world is a stunning but relatively little-discussed fact.

I think, subject to correction, that that news about India means that the only remaining parts of the world where the populations are growing via births, rather than from mass migration, are Pakistan, Bangladesh, and parts of Africa. Unfortunately, these are some of the most backward, and least useful, people on Earth, and are also those who, among others, are invading Europe (and elsewhere) on the mass scale at the present time.

[Germany 1945: “We are fighting for the future of our children!“]

The population of the world now stands at about double what it was in 1970. There may, quite soon, soon be a collapse in the population of the world. If, then, the European peoples can reassert their supremacy, the whole world will benefit and move into a new age, aided by European-controlled AI and robotics.

Our numbers, as Europeans, or European-origined people living elsewhere in the world, are small compared to the non-whites in the world, true, but our historical armies, navies and air forces can be replaced by huge new robot armies, and by drones in the air and at sea.

This is no longer science fiction but, germinally, everyday fact. Look at the war in Ukraine, and what is happening in the Middle East.

Europe can come back, regenerate. We can come back. This is now possible.

BUT he certainly did handle himself quite well on QT and I said so and he’s a lot more personable than most Reform candidates and I had a very extreme one in 2024. Suspect there will be some shy Kenyonites. Suspect it will be closer than people think. Whatever I think about Reform, Labour deserves to get battered for calling this by-election. Some of the worst optics in living memory.“]

Even a former “Conservative” lady (ex-wife of a former Con Party MP), and with some very odd and badly-thought-out “antifascist” opinions, rather likes Kenyon, the Reform UK candidate at Makerfield.

Kenyon has made some vulgar remarks (mainly about Carol Vorderman, who is quite vulgar enough already), but is a genuine local person, and not at all like Andy Burnham, who is a pro-immigration and anti-free speech careerist and freeloader.

Labour seem to be slightly ahead at Makerfield, ahead of Reform (Restore also doing well in third place, and the Green loonie nowhere), but the game is far from over. Maybe Reform can still pull it off.

They call that “democracy”, it seems. Farcical.

For once, I agree with him, except that the suggested database needs to go back to 1967, and not be limited to those with Israeli or dual Israeli-UK nationality.

Jews go from the UK to be trained in the use of weapons, explosives, knives, and unarmed martial arts such as the brutal streetfighting techniques of Krav Maga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krav_Maga].

In effect, such “British” Jews are trained potential terrorists, albeit that they have not, most of them, been activated, but are, effectively, “sleeper agents”. They form a potential pool of active agents, or support-cadres, for Israeli Intelligence agencies such as MOSSAD and Aman and, in times of trouble, a pool of potential active urban guerrillas under direct Israeli control.

A real British government would take the necessary measures to contain, at the least, this potentially dangerous group.

Applicable to many institutions and socio-political problems in the UK right now; the NHS, for one.

Sometimes, “the rules” laid down by those “on high” have to be bent or broken. Also, if paradoxically, what makes a society work, whether the society of a nation-state, or that of an elite military unit, is mutual loyalty. Without that, the whole thing falls to pieces, as it has been doing in the UK for half a century.

Cathy Newman is a typical UK msm termite, working away to destroy our society (while being paid hundreds of thousands of pounds per year for doing so). Typical pseudo-“liberal” multikulti hypocrite.

Incidentally, while I do not believe that non-Europeans should hold any political office in this country, it would be dishonest of me not to recognize Zia Yusuf’s political skill.

Never forget “the men behind the wire”, even if you do not agree with their tactics or timing.

Over the past 14 years, my respect for the police of the UK has slid from fairly high to near-zero, by reason of the way the Jew-Zionist lobby (mainly the liars and perjurers of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) have managed to demand or whine and so get the police to do what they want, most of the time.

The same is true of the Crown Prosecution Service [CPS], except that I have always had little time for them anyway.

…and completely useless black/brown parasites (there are a tiny number of exceptions).

That idiot is as bad, in his own way, as Starmer-stein.

One of the big questions is as to whether Restore (not mentioned in that poll) and Reform are fishing in the same pool, or whether one (Restore?) or both are, or will be, able to get usual non-voters, those disgusted by the choice previously available, out to vote. In other words, is the “nationalist” vote around 30%, or could it be 35%, 40%, or even 50%?Open question.

Taking that opinion poll as stated though, it translates to a Commons with about 378 Reform MPs (excellent majority), LibDems 60 (very weak official Opposition), Lab 56, Greens 54, SNP 44, and Cons 39 [etc].

Incidentally, on those figures, Labour would lose both Holborn and St. Pancras (Starmer’s seat) and Makerfield (which may or may not be Andy Burnham’s new seat); the former to the Greens, the latter to Reform.

Let us say, though, that Restore fights all of the GE seats contested by Reform (and the System parties). Even were Restore to win almost no seats, that would badly damage Reform, almost certainly. A hung Parliament might be the result.

[“Latest on Mandelson/McSweeney messages:

  • Downing Street briefed journalists the messages relating to the 5 September reshuffle had been withheld at the request of the Metropolitan Police. But today the Met have told the Mail on Sunday this is untrue, and they did not ask for the messages to be held back
  • Two of the unpublished messages from Mandelson to McSweeney reportedly relate to Darren Jones and Peter Kyle. Both of them were subsequently promoted in that reshuffle
  • On 27 February Mandelson accompanied Keir Starmer to a meeting at the Washington offices of Palantir. No minutes were kept of the meeting, and it was not included in Starmer’s official schedule. The Mail on Sunday has learnt that a week after Starmer returned from Washington Cabinet Ministers received an instruction from No.10 to meet with Palantir representatives.“]

Well…Palantir is the sinister Israeli/Jew organization getting hold of confidential data about UK citizens. Starmer-stein is a creature of the Jewish/Israeli lobby. The same is true of Mandelson, Morgan McSweeney, Darren Jone, and Peter Kyle.

This is a complete Jewish/Israeli set-up, and connected with the Epstein scandal.

Well, you know what to do about it. There are precedents.

Diary Blog, 4 April 2023, with thoughts about where Russia goes from here

Morning music

I once met a fellow, boyfriend of a girl I knew slightly, whose work was as a balloon pilot based in Bristol, which I believe is one of the main UK centres of such activity. I was a belated Bar Finals student then (late 1980s), and being a balloon pilot seemed a wonderfully carefree way to make a living.

On this day a year ago

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11935021/MICK-HUME-Sinister-Bill-turn-workplace-surveillance-state.html.

In practice, the Worker Protection Bill is a sinister threat to our freedom of speech. It will impose on employers a responsibility to take ‘all reasonable steps’ to prevent their staff being offended.

That can only lead to bosses trying to impose pre-emptive forms of censorship to avoid being dragged to a tribunal. Do we want to see our lively pubs reduced to a state of silent sterility, as if they were public libraries rather than public houses?

[Daily Mail]

That is exactly what the “woke” activists want…

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11935369/The-total-collapse-break-Putins-Russia-begun-Zelensky-official-predicts.html

The total collapse and break-up of Vladimir Putin‘s Russia has begun and the West must be prepared to deal with the potentially catastrophic aftermath, a top official in Volodymyr Zelensky’s Government has warned.

Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, said the West must be on high alert, having in the past failed to be ready for the collapse of the Soviet Union. 

He said Kyiv [Kiev] believed Russia was about to fall apart in ‘spectacular’ fashion within the next few years.

But he warned that China currently holds the upper hand over the Kremlin’s imminent capitulation. He said if the West allowed China to take territory in Russia, a new grave problem would be created.

[Daily Mail]

Normally, I would discount anything said by members of the corrupt and dictatorial Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, but in this case the prediction may be accurate, at least in part.

Russia today has no ideology beyond pro forma Great-Russian shadow nationalism and chauvinism, mixed with a pathetic 1930s/1940s pseudo “anti-Nazi” propaganda campaign (re. Ukraine), which campaign fell flat as soon as it was introduced a year or two ago.

In the past (pre-Russian Civil War, and pre-1917/18), there was Tsarism and the Russian Orthodox Church; in the formulation of Pobedonostsev, “Autocracy, Orthodoxy, Nationality” (Правосла́вие, самодержа́вие, наро́дность).

Later, there was Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism, which from the early 1940s mixed elements of the previous “Holy Russia” into the mix. Post-Bolshevik messianism mixed with geopolitical expansionism and the other bits and pieces.

After 1989, Russia and many of its people signed up to Western materialism and the largely but not entirely (of course) fake “liberal democracy” Schauspiel. That, in its very active phase, lasted for only about a decade. The Russian people soon discovered, like the cat in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, that the “freedom” promised by the semi-Americanism under Yeltsin included some unwelcome “freedoms”, such as the “freedom” to be homeless, jobless, cold, and hungry (though, to be sure, Sovietism itself had produced plenty of most of those, especially before the 1960s).

This lack of overarching ideology is Russia’s primary problem, the one which underpins all the others (e.g. the poor morale of the Russian Army and intelligence services).

Russia has to find an ideology which is both intellectually coherent, and able to inspire the Russian masses emotionally.

Looking at the situation now, Russia has only one indisputable trump card— its strategic nuclear arsenal. In all other respects, Russia has few if any cards to play. So far, its military machine has proven so poor that it has had to be stiffened by the mercenary Wagner Group. As for the SVR and GRU, Stalin would have shot half of them by now. The same goes for much of the senior officer corps.

Russia does seem to be reprising its historical role of the “colossus on legs of straw“. Judging from the outside (I have not been there since 2007, and now have no connection with Russian laws, business, or people), it seems to me to have only limited internal stability, though at the same time little significant political opposition to the present Putin government.

I doubt that there will be a split into separate countries, if only because Russians remain one people (albeit with hundreds of minor nationalities alongside), with one language (ditto), and a shared history. What might happen, and has happened since 1991, is increasing autonomy of various far-flung territories.

Ukraine was always almost one country with Russia. The present war is almost a civil war, which may explain its bitterness, and its sometimes barbaric standards.

In the end, Ukraine will probably be devastated and then repopulated with Russian settlers, at least east of the Dnieper. We shall see.

One thing is for sure: if Putin does not do something to break the static situation that now exists in eastern Ukraine, he will follow the Soviet Union and DDR, and Nikolai II, into history, and sooner than he ever imagined.

I happened to see the YouTube video below: DDR (East Germany) in 1988. I was there in the summer of that year, though in the south of the country, and only for a couple of days. I have blogged before how, though there was no sign of imminent collapse, yet the DDR seemed to be a kind of stage-set of a state rather than a real one. Just impressions here and there.

About 14 months later, in 1989, the whole system collapsed and, in a final irony, the President, Honecker, sought political asylum in Chile, the government of which the DDR had for years called “fascist” etc. I recall having been very amused by that.

Anyone watching such a parade in 1988 would have thought that the display exuded statist stability and permanence. So much for that.

Does our own system in 2023 present even the appearance of stability? I think not. Perhaps the difference is that, in 1988 and 1989, the East German population could look to the West, to —immediately— the wealth and relative freedom of the Bundesrepublik and then, beyond German borders, to the rest of the EC (as the EU then was), and to the Americas.

To what, to where, can our people look for a potentially better life? Nowhere.

Incidentally, here is another DDR ceremony, this one in 1979, utilizing marches that include old German ones and at least one from 1920s Bolshevism (slightly pre-Soviet Union):

The marching steps could also have been seen in both the Second and Third Reich.

“Jack Monroe” never did sue MP Lee Anderson. Neither has she refunded any of the monies donated (needless to say)…

I looked today at Amazon. The “Jack Monroe” book Thrifty Kitchen, which bombed on release a couple of months ago, is now no. 26,957 from the top of the bestseller list. This indicates sales of about 160 copies per month at its new reduced price of £8.50 (original price was nearly £20, but that was immediately reduced to £9.99), out of which “Jack Monroe” may be getting between 50p and £1 per copy. New or near-new copies can be had on Amazon for as little as £5.

No wonder that she wants to keep going the Patreon scam, which must still be providing several thousand pounds each month, presumably taxfree as well.

Another (Chinese?) social control measure. How long before that sort of control arrives in the UK? The police of today, often politically-correct/”woke” automatons, would enforce it— we saw that during the “Covid” “panicdemic” and “scamdemic”.

If only that could be a matter of selection, affecting only certain groups.

North America is prey to every kind of craziness now, even when compared to the UK, Sweden etc.

Stray thought

Most of what one does, in any given occupation, is a waste of time from the point of view of the individual’s own utility or satisfaction.

For example, it is hardly a new idea that, in many ordinary, modest, occupations, one almost works in order to pay out to be able to work.

Leave aside highly-paid professional or other activity and focus on modestly-paid work (let alone minimum-wage activity). The employee, say an office bod, needs to spend out in order to get clothing for the office, say a few suits.

He (or she) needs to pay out for daily travel (which can be very considerable in cost), for luncheon food (even if only a roll and coffee, which might amount to £10 a day in Central London), and for various other things as well.

All so that the employee can work at all. Then there might be occasional or regular socializing, in which said office bod is more or less expected to participate. The resulting remuneration, after tax and “National Insurance” (more tax), is scarcely enough to do more than pay for the costs of having a job, plus food and basic shelter. Maybe not even that.

Likewise, look at someone who wins on a lottery, say £50,000. People say “like a year’s (or two years) pay” within the usual range in the UK. Not so, though. In terms of real pay, even a relatively modest sum such as £50,000 is huge, because most people, after all their taxes, costs, and expenses, have almost nothing left at the end of a month, or even year.
