Morning thought

Until 1945 we were a party; after 1945 we are the nucleus of a great international faith…

[Savitri Devi]

Talking point

In War – Resolution , In Defeat – Defiance , In Victory – Magnanimity , In Peace – Goodwill

[Churchill]

Fine words, something Churchill was good at. Perhaps the only thing he was good at.

[Churchill, as Prime Minister in 1940, toting the drum-magazine Thompson
submachinegun when on an inspection trip to North-East England]

Talking point (first published 1 May 2021)

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).

Reading it now, I think I can claim that my views then expressed have held up rather well almost 5 years later (nicht wahr?).

There is a sense of chaos about what is happening in parts of the USA at present.

[“The British government has passed legislation that criminalizes telling “offensive” jokes in public places.

If you go to a restaurant and tell a joke that makes an overhearing waiter in London feel offended, the establishment will have to report you to the police.

The government says it’s totally about protecting people from “harassment” and won’t infringe upon free speech rights at all.”]

The only answer, at least the only “peaceful” answer, to the gathering clouds of repression of free speech in the UK is to say or publish whatever you decide to say or write, then —if push comes to shove— stand up in the face of the poundland police state, refuse to accept any level or type of “guilt”, refuse to express any form of “apology” (the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby love it when they can force fake “apology” out of non-Jews), and refuse to accept untruth(s).

I stood up for both my own views and for freedom of expression generally both in 2016, when a pack of Israel-controlled Jews procured my disbarment (which disbarment was not only wrongful, but actually unlawful, as the Bar Standards Board admitted in a letter to me a couple of years later), and also in 2023-2024, when the same pack (nominally a different pack but in fact or effectively the same) procured (via political influence, and the suborning of police and “Clown” Prosecution Service personnel) a criminal prosecution of me: see

This blog, begun in late 2016, after my disbarment, and quite quickly published near-daily, continued to be published during the process of persecution, prosecution, trial, and sentencing.

In March 2024, the Jew-Zionists pressured the “Clown” Prosecution Service to apply for an order restricting publication of the blog, and the very “underwhelming” barrister instructed by them made a half-hearted attempt to secure that but, and to his credit, the very experienced District Judge who sentenced me (a former Deputy Chief Metropolitan Magistrate) agreed with me that the application was nonsense.

The blog continues to be published near-daily, and even were some further attempt to restrict it and me to be made, I should continue to publish, no matter what, and come what may, even if that meant arranging for publication via overseas proxies.

“They” never learn. Had I not been disbarred, I might never have started the blog.

Had I not been expelled from Twitter in 2018 (again at the instigation of Jew-Zionists, who organized a mass complaint about me, and also had political doormats such as the degenerate MP, Ian Austin —now a fake “lord”— write letters to the Attorney-General etc about me), I might well not have started daily or near-daily publication.

Now, having been persecuted/prosecuted (2023-2024), I am even more determined to continue to struggle for truth and a better society.

[“To be completely honest, I am becoming increasingly pissed off with the aggressive gangs of foreign men who are plaguing the streets of our towns and cities.

We can all see it. They don’t speak English, they don’t work, they certainly don’t respect us.

I get dozens of messages every single day from women who hate it. They feel uncomfortable, harassed, intimidated. But we’re all supposed to think it’s normal?!

It didn’t used to be like this. Five, ten years ago.

And it doesn’t have to be like this. It isn’t normal, and we shouldn’t accept it as so.

Women should be able to go for a night out with their friends without the fear of foreign sex pests and weirdos assaulting them.

Of course there are sordid and abusive British men, but sadly we can’t deport them.

We can remove the foreign ones. I thoroughly believe we should do so.“]

Britain needs a thoroughgoing chistka. Not just the migrant-invaders. Across the board.

Topical thought

Whatever the nuances, it is clear that the recent killing of a man by the members of an ICE squad in Minnesota was murder by any normal metric. It seems that the man was shot while defenceless and on the ground, and shot several times. One might ask why he was wandering around armed at all, but of course that is not so unusual in parts of the USA.

Leaving the specific question aside, and looking at the general demeanour of the ICE squad (in fact, all of those I have seen), and the way they move and interact, their behaviour, the impression given is not one of a disciplined unit, but something more akin to a street gang.

[“At the end of the day, every time you talk to people about politics, the most common thing they will complain about is a complete lack of trust in the old parties of the system and the people in them.

And the reason this lack of trust exists is because of generations of people in those positions saying one thing and doing something else.

It doesn’t matter if people agree with absolutely everything you are telling them, if they can’t trust that what you are telling them is true, or they can’t be certain that what you are telling them is what you genuinely believe.

I’ve seen and heard it with my own eyes over the past few years, an uncountable number of nationalists get this wrong. They spend so much time creating this perfectly refined, contrived image of themselves, saying all the things that they think people agree with, and constantly treading on eggshells over certain topics – but it never works because anyone who engages with them in real life realises that they aren’t being truthful.

95% of people will be more likely to listen to someone whose views they don’t always agree with, but who they believe always tells the truth, than they will to someone who they never disagree with, but they don’t believe is honest.“]

Burnham, though better —arguably— than Starmer-stein, is equally in the pocket of the Jew-Zionist-Israel lobby. System puppets.

Tully was a household name in India. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Tully.

Even a stopped clock is right once or twice a day (depending on what kind of clock it is).

For some people, wilful “belief” is far stronger than obvious reality sitting right in front of them. Look at how unpopular Starmer is! Also, what “restoration” of the economy is that idiot talking about?

Oh, I see now. “George Foulkes” is an ex-MP, now a “lord”, who was (maybe still is —I do not know) a noted expenses cheat and/or freeloader. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Foulkes,_Baron_Foulkes_of_Cumnock.

Tribal-Labour idiot. Also, a pro-Israel/Jewish lobby puppet. He supported the Iraq war even after it was long over, supported ID cards, supported anything that he was told to support, in order to keep his paid positions and preferment.

A disgusting corrupt slug, member of Labour Friends of Israel, and also someone convicted of hitting a policeman while drunk.

Undeniable.

Priti Patel was/is also an agent of influence for the Israeli state. Member of Conservative Friends of Israel. As blogged previously, had it not been for Idi Amin, she would have spent her life behind the counter of a Kampala grocery store. Thick as two short planks.

Priti Patel saying that Reform UK are “National Socialists“! If only!

Idiotic woman.

Would translate to a Commons with 374 Reform UK MPs, Lab 119, LibDems 60, SNP 41, Cons 14, Greens 7 [etc].

The Cons and Lab have both polled between 14% and 24% in the last few months, mostly between 15% and 22%. I do not think that Reform has polled, in the same period, below 24%, and has been, recently, as high as 35%.

Incidentally, on the above poll’s figures, Kemi Badenoch would lose her seat (as would Priti Patel).

Morning music

[El Greco, Adoration of the Name]

The future of Europe, and the future of the world

Our present civilization cannot continue to exist, still less evolve to a higher level, without a firm ethno-cultural foundation. In practice, that means a very significant proportion of white Northern European people in the world, and the world largely under the control of such people.

See also:

Angela Rayner, her careerism, and her hypocrisy on Palestine and Gaza etc

[“Here’s why I have less than no sympathy for Angela Rayner.

@DalloulAhmed, a Palestinian takeaway owner, was a constituent of hers. She’d met him several times, visited his shop and posed for pictures with him, emphasised her support for Palestinian freedom. She gave him a tour of Parliament. They repeatedly corresponded by text message.

Within weeks of the genocide, his mother, brother, sister-in-law, and two little nieces were murdered in an Israeli air strike. He was desperate to evacuate his wife and little daughter, only 4 months old, from Gaza. This little child was buried under rubble three times by Israeli attacks.

He emailed Angela Rayner twice to seek her help evacuating his family. She ignored him. He then turned up to a Labour fundraiser in January 2024, and stood up, clutching pictures of his dead mother, talking about his murdered family, asking for Angela’s support for a ceasefire. She knew exactly who this man was. He was then thrown out of the meeting and on to the street by security like he was trash. She did nothing, and simply said “Thank you, you’ve made your point.”

Just take a moment to absorb what was happening here. A Palestinian man she was friendly with, whose family had been slaughtered by a British-facilitated Israeli onslaught, whose pleas to evacuate his wife and daughter had been ignored by her, stood up holding photos of his murdered mother, pleading for her to take a stand against the violence slaughtering her family.

It gets worse. A few days later she was interviewed about the incident by Sky News’ @BethRigby, who framed it as an example of the sort of threats that politicians have to face.

Here is one utterly repulsive example of the dehumanisation of Palestinians. Imagine this was a Israeli man whose family had been killed on 7th October. If the same thing had happened, it would have caused a national scandal and ruined Angela Rayner’s career long before any stamp duty row.

Since this hideous episode, so many of Dalloul’s loved ones have been murdered by the Israeli government that their names fill three pages. Angela served as deputy prime minister in a government which continued to arm and facilitate this genocide.

I used to have huge respect for Angela Rayner. But she’s someone whose pursuit of power led her to make an accommodation with the worst people in the history of the Labour Party. The great moral test of our time was Israel’s genocide, and a belief that Palestinians are human beings of equal worth. Angela failed that test. Her political demise should be mourned by no one.“]

[Owen Jones]

Her political demise should be mourned by no-one“, writes faux-revolutionary socialist Owen Jones. Who is mourning it anyway? Anyone? I myself have scarcely stopped laughing! I especially like the fact that Angela Rayner’s salary will now be half of what it was, and that her expenses and perks will be much cut back. The newspapers say that the horrible bitch may even have to sell her latest taxpayer-funded holiday home.

Boo-hoo. She may even have to cut back on “vapes”, tattoos, and expensive new clothes (now that wealthy Labour donors are —supposedly— no longer paying for her clothes shopping).

Also, there is at least a sporting chance that Angela Rayner can be unseated at the next general election, either by Reform UK or by Corbyn’s new “real Labour” party, if it ever gets off the ground. Her share of the vote has declined steadily since 2017: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashton-under-Lyne_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Raus! Into the dustbin of UK political history!

Palestinian prisoners in Israel are starved, beaten, tortured, refused medical care

[Israeli human rights group]…said the prison service has “turned Israeli prisons into torture camps”. “A state does not starve people,” it said. “People do not starve people – no matter what they have done.”

Even the Jews’ own Supreme Court of Israel admits it. This is what the pro-Israel Jews and others in the UK, USA, France etc (eg the appalling Richard Tice, of Reform UK) are supporting.

The Jew-Zionist lobby, particularly the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and its lying and perjuring spokespersons and supporters (all or virtually all Jews), are the major source of malicious anti-free-speech complaints to the police and professional regulators.

Spectacular.

The whole of Europe, including the UK, has to be cleared out.

Not only is Paris now far far worse than it was 54 years ago, in 1971, when I (then aged 14) lived for 3 weeks with a French couple in the 5th arrondisement, but worse even than it was during the German Occupation of 1940-44.

There has to be a massive chistka across, mainly, Western and Central Europe.

Well, many of the Jews that came to Palestine after 1945 were the sweepings of the ghettos, camps, and prisons of Europe. Naturally, they behaved as such degenerate and criminal elements were always likely to behave…

[“Ramon Airport, the occupation’s southern gateway, just took a direct hit from a Yemeni kamikaze drone. Enemy media confirms the strike came from Yemen, slamming into the passenger hall before the IOF sealed off the site, shut the airspace, and slapped on full censorship. Even their own journalists are asking why the sirens stayed silent, letting the aircraft cross in without warning. Ansar Allah has now proven once again it can reach deep into occupied territory, bypassing Israel’s sensors and hitting strategic civilian–military dual-use hubs. Every unanswered siren is another reminder that the so-called Iron Dome can’t stop what’s coming.“]

The first of many such landings, I expect.

Evil little demons. I hope that, sooner rather than later, they get what’s coming to them.

More evil demons. Hopefully they, their families and tribe will also get what’s coming to them.

Probably the first of many.

Even if she and fake Labour wanted to stop the migration-invasion (which I doubt), what is a clown like Shabana Mahmood, or the Labour “Cabinet of Cretins” going to do? Nothing, or next to nothing.

The hordes of barbarians arriving here are a millstone round the neck of the British people.

He did it as a deliberate act. Part-Jew traitor “Boris”-idiot is an agent of the Coudenhove-Kalergi conspiracy:

Indeed, but as I predicted, Reform itself is being prepared to become a System party, as the “old parties” fail. One sees it in the non-European candidates, and in the pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby posturing (especially from Tice, Reform’s deputy leader).

I was reminded of the old joke about a Napoleonic-era battle. The battle is raging back and forth. On a nearby hill, non-combatants are watching, including a group of Jews. One Jew is especially excited, and is jumping up and down, shouting “we’re winning!“. Another asks him, “why are you so excited?“, to which the first Jew answers, “because our side is winning!”, and the other responds “which side is our side?”. The first Jew then answers, “the side that is winning!“…

Look at the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel march in London last weekend. The organizers invited Reform UK’s Tice to attend. He accepted that invitation, and was there helping to carry the main banner, along with the “CAA” liar and perjurer Gideon Falter, the fat woman who is the current Israeli Ambassador in London, and the Chief Rabbi of the UK.

In short, the fix is in. They know that Reform is quite likely to form the next government. That being so, Reform’s leaders are being cultivated.

I still hope that Reform will destroy the existing System parties. Once Reform has done that, and once Reform fails to deal with the major problems of society, especially the migration invasion and resultant multikulti society, a real social-national upsurge can manifest.

The vast majority of immigrants coming to this country are, at best, parasites. Quite a few are engaged in various levels of criminal activity. A relatively small number are active terrorists or are terrorist support agents.

One wonders who constitute the other 28%. Don’t-knows? Know-nothings? If blacks and browns were asked the question (as if “Brits“), then that might explain much.

As usual, Goodwin “forgets” to mention the main actively anti-free-speech group in the UK— the Jewish lobby or Israel lobby

The latest Israeli war crime(s).

Exactly (re. Ukraine) what I have been saying on the blog for 3-4 years.

Maybe, but everything depends on circumstances. Look how quickly the Japanese and German cities all but destroyed in the Second World War were rebuilt and re-inhabited.

Chernyshevsky was born in Saratov, on the Volga, as is Kazan, incidentally. Kazan is an interesting choice of location for the BRICS summit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazan.

Different points of view: in Russia and China, their leaders thinking strategically, but in the UK, much of the political and mass media milieu is obsessed with whether some useless, unpleasant and dangerous black gangster should have been shot or not.

Not a matter which I have followed (or know anything about).

The idea that Britain’s slide will be stopped, let alone reversed, by “peaceful”, constitutionally-acceptable, or easy methods such as voting for Reform UK (let alone the “Conservative” or “Labour” idiots), seems increasingly just ludicrous.

Unsurprising mendacity. Yvette Cooper is not only a longstanding expenses freeloader but an actual fraudster who was lucky to escape criminal prosecution around 2009. A Labour Friends of Israel moneygrubber.

A real British government would remove individuals such as Kim Johnson. Another completely useless one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Johnson_(politician).

Ecce the new “Conservative” Party leader— either a Nigerian woman married to a banker, or a corrupt and nasty little supposedly (?) English moneygrubber married to a Jewish woman lawyer. Both members of Conservative Friends of Israel (of course).

Surely calling those idiots “intellectuals” is a little too kind? That horrible little blot, Harwood, was recently sharing, on Twitter, his revelation that Italy, on a map, looks like a boot!

Almost as good as the “advice” given to the British public in the 1980s by constipated civil servants, to the effect that, in the event of nuclear attack, British people should shelter under a stout table, “protected” by a tablecloth or blanket, and should not forget to keep safe their pension books and bank documents!

As previously blogged, the aim in the medium-term is to get as many people as possible microchipped, probably on the arm or wrist, and get them using that system for all everyday uses: NHS, shopping, travel. Those refusing will be gradually marginalized and, ultimately, probably, detained indefinitely.

Only extreme resistance now, or soon, will prevent this in Western and Central Europe, North America, Australasia, and elsewhere.

As a control mechanism, “the virus” has done most of its job. The majority of the (eg) British population have been proven to be sheep, easily corralled and controlled; in effect, brainwashed. The facemask nonsense was key in doing that.

Of course, a properly-run society would properly punish the likes of Professor Ferguson (or, indeed, laugh at him from the start, and certainly not take him seriously).

Stray thoughts about the increasingly acrid Ukraine situation

Had the Russian forces mounted a properly-planned Blitzkrieg from the start, and thus achieved their main strategic objectives within days, toppling the Jew-Zionist Kiev regime and installing a puppet government de facto over the Kiev region, over that part of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and over the Black Sea littoral, there would have been no time for the creation of a civilian resistance, and no time for the NWO/ZOG powers of the EU, UK, and North America to respond effectively. Also, the Ukrainian civilians would not have suffered harm, certainly not on the scale that looks likely now.

In the ancient cult of Magna Mater, the candidates for initiation had at one point to wade through a literal bath of blood. Metaphorically, that is where Putin and the Russian forces now are.

Unless they are going to abandon the operation completely, which would not only be humiliating for Putin personally but disastrous for Russia strategically, they have to press on to victory, even though any victory now will be horrible and bitter.

NATO, the EU, even usually-neutral Sweden, and others, are funnelling serious armament into Ukraine now. It will be placed at the disposal of the Kiev regime.

The ground-to-air armament flooding in may deny Russia command of the skies before very long. Even now, Russia’s air force does not seem to be being used as effectively as it could be, and certainly not as ruthlessly as the Americans use theirs.

This situation can only worsen for Russia over time. The only answer will be for Russia to destroy the Kiev regime very soon, whatever it takes. The key players have to be captured or eliminated.

I tremble for the remaining civilian population of Ukraine (and their companion animals). This should never have happened, certainly not in this way.

Supplies of food and fuel must be running out in Kiev. The odds are still in favour of the Russian invaders, if they press forward.

The Russian Army has been hugely upgraded over the past 15 years, but has shown itself incapable of proper staff work and planning. It dithered for weeks (that may have been Putin’s fault), then launched an unimpressive, sluggish and “bitty” invasion that seems to have lacked elan and rigour.

In a way, this incipient debacle is reminiscent of what happened in Karelia in 1939-40.

Stalin would have been shooting generals by now. Putin cannot do that, but he has to reinvigorate this operation before it becomes a manifest and historic defeat.

How is it that a country with (one reads) 4,500 fighter aircraft cannot dominate the skies of one that has fewer than 100?

If Putin and his generals do nothing, or if they withdraw behind Russia’s frontiers, The Kiev regime will be resupplied, its forces upgraded (all paid for by NWO/ZOG states), and before long there will be NATO or NATO-proxy forces stationed only 300 miles from Moscow (Moscow is 300 miles from the Ukrainian border at the nearest point).

The logic of the above is that the Kiev regime must now be toppled by massive force, even though a victory bought at such a price in destruction and suffering could not be other than bitter and even sickening.

Ukraine— possible developments

What if Russian forces manage to control the whole area east of the Dnieper, as well as the Kiev area and the Black Sea coast? What then?

If there is a relocation of the Kiev regime to Lvov, with control over the western part of Ukraine, then NATO and the EU will flood it with arms and training staff. Russia, and Putin especially, would then have the choice of coming to some accommodation with that government, or fighting it. The Western allies would presumably keep referring to it as the Government of Ukraine de jure, even if the Russians install a Ukraine government, de facto, in Kiev.

In fact, both such regimes would only, de facto, control about half of of the whole country. Both would be supported as “de jure” governments of the whole by, and only by, their individual patron-states.

It is hard to see any such Lvov regime accepting Russian rule over a third to a half of present Ukraine, and including Kiev. On the other hand, and on present evidence, the Russian forces would seem incapable of taking the whole country, let alone holding it.

It is easy for many to talk about Ukraine as if it is smaller than it is, but Ukraine is about the same size as France. Huge. Nearly three times the size of the whole UK.

As for Kiev, with its 3 million inhabitants, it is —depending on where administrative boundaries are drawn— about the 7th-largest city by population in Europe. Indeed, if one excludes Istanbul, Moscow, and St. Petersburg, the 4th-largest.

Of course, if one includes suburbs outside strict city limits, London and Paris have even larger populations, but that would still mean that Kiev would be the 5th-largest city in Europe (excl. cities in European Turkey and European Russia), after London, Paris, Madrid, and Berlin.

The international situation can only go down from here. On the periphery, biding its time, China…

Time to repost my blog thoughts about the potential necessity of founding a new civilization on the rubble of the old…

Would that be “from the horse’s mouth“, or “out of the mouths of babes“?

Analysis on video

This is basically correct.

As that person is saying, Russia is not, as yet anyway, flattening everything in Ukraine, whereas the American idea, seen repeatedly, is to flatten whole cities, regardless of civilian harm.

In any case, Putin does not want to take over a flattened wasteland.The way things are going, though, he may have little choice.

Again, the cold logic seems to lead to a massive attack on the locations of the Kiev regime itself, i.e. on central Kiev, with the aim of decapitating the present government and thus starting to end any mass resistance.
