Myerson’s comment is improper. He should be reported (again) to the Bar Standards Board: https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/.

Also, there should be reform of this whole outdated and degraded “KC” stuff.

In the 1920s, only a few (3 or 4) KCs were granted “letters patent” annually. Back then, to be “KC” really meant something. Today, almost everyone and his dog sports the “KC” label:

“In 1959, there were 181 practising Queen’s Counsel. Between 1966 and 1970, the number of practising QCs increased from 208 to 262. Wikipedia states that this number continued to grow, reaching 404 in 1978 and 601 in 1989.

From 1991 to 2000, the number of practising QCs steadily rose from 736 to 1072. In 1995, 71 QCs were appointed.

In 2006, 175 QCs were appointed out of 443 applicants. 33 of these were women, 10 were from ethnic minority backgrounds, and 4 were solicitors.

Between 1995 and 2023, data shows fluctuation in appointments, ranging from 60 in 1998 to 175 in 2006.

In 2021, 101 KCs (previously QCs) were appointed, including five solicitors.

In 2023 and 2022, 95 KCs were appointed in each year.

In 2024, 95 new KCs were appointed.

In 2025, 105 KCs were appointed, representing the biggest cohort in four years.

Efforts are ongoing to increase diversity among KC appointees, with the Bar Council actively encouraging applications from underrepresented groups and tracking statistics on women, ethnic minority lawyers, and those with disabilities.“

[Google AI/Wikipedia]

The “KC” label is now almost worthless, though of course merely being a barrister is even less valuable…

Thousands of persons are now carrying the rank “KC”. Degradation, as with titles such as “lord”, “sir” etc…

“Coalition of the Clowns”.

Anyone deliberately starting large-scale wildfires must be dealt with severely.

“French“? Even Goodwin is, apparently, still infected by politically-correct nonsense-language.

(and, no, I don’t care whether the untermensch may possess a piece of paper saying that he is “French”…).

[“A significant number of British and English people are spontaneously “raising the colours” —flying Union Jack and St George’s Flags on their streets and outside their homes This should be seen for what it is —an act of resistance against mass uncontrolled immigration, broken borders, the decision by politicians to house illegal migrants in the heart of their communities, and the loss of their national identity. The English philosopher Sir Roger Scruton once said “the English are reluctant to display their identity — reluctant to sing their national anthem, to wave their flag, or to affirm their nationhood … But the cost of this reluctance is the steady erosion of something precious —a shared first-person plural.” What he meant by that was the erosion of a “we” —the erosion of a community, an identity, a home. And this is precisely what millions of British and English people now feel, even if many do not yet want to say it out loud—that we are losing a very precious sense of “we”. Mass immigration, open borders, a state policy of multiculturalism that prioritises minorities over the majority, cultural fragmentation, and an aggressive globalism that wants you to believe the only thing that defines people from these islands is not our own distinctive identity, culture, and history but merely welcoming others and celebrating “diversity” … all this has left many people feeling utterly bewildered, lost, demoralised, and in a place that no longer looks or feels like home. This is why some people in Britain and England, on streets like the one below, are “raising the colours”. By flying their flags they are letting us all know that they do exist, they do belong, they do have a home, and there is a “we” they want to reassert and protect, no matter how much the elite class want them and you to think otherwise.“]

“Raise the banners!”…

More Israeli war crimes.

[“Every single Jewish doctor who followed me for at least 6 years, often DMing me for a chat, has either unfollowed or blocked me recently for calling Gaza what it is -an atrocity. Not one of them has ever mentioned starving children in their tweets yet we’ve heard plenty about the hostages. I’m sorry but you shouldn’t be in medicine – they all were (rightly) devastated by the anti-semitism of colleagues after 7/10 yet have shown no empathy whatsoever for innocent Palestinian kids dying of starvation and disease. I’ve kept a very balanced view, sympathy for all sides, always fighting anti-semitism hard but Israel has gone way too far and if you’re standing by that, you’ve lost your way, precious few Israelis are. Israel & Netanyahu are fuelling anti-semitism not girls with leukaemia. If you cannot take a balanced view I don’t want your follow anyway. And tragically the actions of Israel have made it highly unlikely any more hostages will be got out alive.“]

Looks like someone is belatedly and reluctantly coming to certain conclusions about “them”…

Of course, Washington D.C. is largely non-white anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.#Demographics. Not entirely, though. European-origined people are about 38% of the population, and many more reside in the suburbs, in the states of Maryland and Virginia; places such as McLean.

I have to admit that some of that was new to me.

Yes, and not because Farage or Reform are anything much, but simply because the main System parties are hated now, held in utter contempt, and rightly so.

Historical note

“EARLY JEWISH HOLDERS OF BANK OF ENGLAND
STOCK (1694-1725)“

1966 – EARLY JEWISH HOLDERS OF BANK OF ENGLAND STOCK 1694-1725 – J. A. GiuseppiDownload

A very interesting list, sent to me by a reader of the blog.

What interests me especially is the fact that Jews were only allowed to re-enter England during the rulership of Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell invited them to come to this country only about 40 years prior to the Bank of England’s formation in 1694.

Keir Starmer appears totally incompetent, but that is at least partly a front to conceal the treachery of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan to import millions of non-white immigrants into Europe, and particularly the UK.

There is also the point that the “small boats” migration-invasion is only about 5% of the total invasion, the vast bulk of which is “legal”, superficially.

The mind of the public is of course focussed on the “small boats”, with 200-1,000 invaders per day coming in. Meanwhile, every single day, thousands enter “legally”, and largely unremarked in the msm. Overall, between 500,000 and 1,500,000 a year.

Within our lifetimes, this will collapse the whole society, if not stopped in its tracks.

Look at how the NWO/ZOG powers (using Biden, Macron, Starmer) are still trying to attack Russia. Supplying missiles (etc), supplying intelligence, supplying training for the Kiev-regime forces. Everything except actually pushing the launch buttons themselves.

What would be the American reaction if Russia gave the same help to Venezuela, Cuba etc?

Talking point

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roald_Dahl#Opposition_to_Israel_and_antisemitic_comments.

Wikipedia:

“Dahl reviewed Australian author Tony Clifton’s God Cried, a picture book about the siege of West Beirut by the Israeli army during the 1982 Lebanon War.[200] The article appeared in the August 1983 issue of the Literary Review and was the subject of much media comment and criticism at the time.[201][202][203] According to Dahl, until this point in time “a race of people”, meaning Jews, had never “switched so rapidly from much-pitied victims to barbarous murderers”. The empathy of all after the Holocaust had turned “into hatred and revulsion”.[202] Dahl wrote that Clifton’s book would make readers “violently anti-Israeli”, saying, “I am not anti-Semitic. I am anti-Israel.”[204] He asked, “must Israel, like Germany, be brought to her knees before she learns how to behave in this world?”.[205] The United States, he said, was “so utterly dominated by the great Jewish financial institutions” that “they dare not defy” Israelis.[202]

Following the Literary Review article, Dahl told a journalist from the New Statesman: “There’s a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean there is always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”[206][207] In 1990, during an interview with The Independent, Dahl explained that his issue with Israel began when they invaded Lebanon in 1982:

they killed 22,000 civilians when they bombed Beirut. It was very much hushed up in the newspapers because they are primarily Jewish-owned. I’m certainly anti-Israeli and I’ve become antisemitic in as much as that you get a Jewish person in another country like England strongly supporting Zionism. I think they should see both sides. It’s the same old thing: we all know about Jews and the rest of it. There aren’t any non-Jewish publishers anywhere, they control the media—jolly clever thing to do—that’s why the president of the United States has to sell all this stuff to Israel.”

[Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roald_Dahl]

Dahl was, in his own view, anti-Israel but not, or not necessarily, anti-Jew. Organized Jewish-Zionist lobbyists disagree, and have created a campaign against him, as seen in that Wikipedia article. His books have been savagely cut and changed, for one thing. Akin to burning books…

As for me, and as far as I can recall, I had actually never heard of Roald Dahl until I was about 25, and at that time (about 1982) had a girlfriend (7 years older) who had two young children, both of whom loved Dahl’s books. Since then, I have read Dahl’s short WW2 memoir (he was a fighter pilot at first; later, a junior air attache at the British Embassy in Washington).

Diary Blog, 26 February 2021, including some thoughts about crazy cults

The madness of belief

I was listening last night to BBC World Service; a piece about “Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajneesh], one of the “gurus” of the 1960s and 1970s, and favoured by the hippy element (and some pop stars).

There was a whole mass of odd “gurus”, supposed religious teachers etc around at that time. Most were broadly of Hindu orientation, though some were Buddhist, or even “Christian”, e.g. the “Reverend” Jim Jones [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones]. Some invented their own religions, as did L. Ron Hubbard (who invented Scientology in the 1950s), and the “Reverend” Moon of South Korea, whose “Moonies” became a pest across the Western world. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Myung_Moon; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._Ron_Hubbard

As a matter of fact, I was wandering around London, I think in 1978, aged 21, when two people, a young man and a young Asian woman, accosted me in Edgware Road. I was living in Little Venice at the time. I quickly guessed that they were Moonies but, curious, allowed myself to be invited to their HQ, which turned out to be a fairly large house in, I think, either Paddington or Notting Hill. The latter, as far as I can remember.

I was given a drink (instant coffee, I think) and a biscuit, and was then invited to an odd lecture (audience: about a dozen people, all young) by a possibly Korean, or Chinese, woman, not unattractive and aged about 30-ish.

I was slightly worried (the Moonies having been the subject of tabloid Press outrage) that I might be somehow prevented from leaving, but once the lecture was over (it concerned some weird ideas about how the Earth was created, the lecturer using a blackboard and chalk circles), I simply expessed a polite but firm intention to leave, thanked them, and walked out, never to see (as far as I know) another Moonie for the rest of my life.

As far as Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh is concerned, the only one of his disciples or former disciples I met was a woman whom my then girlfriend invited to the home we (sometimes) shared. That would have been mid-1980s.

The woman, divorced, had completed a Master’s degree at the University of Essex in the 1970s, where my 1980s girlfriend, a Cambridge graduate, had been taking a higher degree at the same time. The other woman had married a Jew, and brought her two rather unpleasant, rude and badly-behaved young sons (aged about 4 or 5) with her. She was, I had been told, a senior official in the —even then, rather notorious— Haringey Council in North West London.

She started talking about how she had at one time been involved with the Rajneesh cult (she referred to the Indian as “the Bagwash”, perhaps in an attempt not to seem brainwashed). She said that she could still see some value in what the cult taught. I could only listen, not knowing anything to speak of about that cult. I certainly had no idea that it was at least partly a “sex cult”! The afternoon did not end very amicably.

The “guru” himself is now dead, having had a heart attack at age 58 in 1990.

[“Rajneesh Shri Bhagwan” in 1984]

Listening to the BBC broadcast [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-44300915], what struck me most was the sheer decadence not (only) of the “guru” but more so of the white Western people who bowed down to what Churchill might have called (his description of Gandhi) “a half-naked native fakir“.

Of course, to be fair, Rajneesh was only an Indian con-man, not a supposed political “saint” whose activism led to the Partition of formerly British India, with the loss of life possibly topping 2 million: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India. [cf. Mandela…]

To my mind (no doubt “prejudiced”, “racist” etc…), it is almost beyond belief that young European (white) women from the UK, Germany, USA etc would want to have sexual relations with the Rajneesh creature. Does “group hypnotism” or “Stockholm Syndrome” explain some of that?

Likewise, the idiots not only accepted that Rajneesh was screwing many of the women, but accepted his extravagance on himself, as they slaved to bring in money to the cult, and/or gave their own money for the use of the “guru”.

Rajneesh had just under 100 Rolls-Royce cars, for example. The photos below show him expounding his “truths” to the “chelas”; also, his white serfs lining up to worship him as he drove past, covering them in dust. Madness. Rassenschande.

Bhagwan 1976
Hugh Milne
by Samvado Kossatz on the ranch in Oregon, 1982 - in the early 2000s, Samvado allowed use of the photo conditional on him getting the photo credit.

Did they stand there clapping, too? Or was mere silent worship enough?

I imagine that most of the followers were probably not hugely intelligent. Certainly, the Scottish bodyguard reminiscing on the BBC did not give a very intelligent impression. Still, interesting from the psychological point of view. The followers were (superficially) seeking enlightenment, sought it from Rajneesh, and seem not to have been too fazed by his sexual antics, or by his ownership of about 94 Rolls-Royces. Very odd, to me. I suppose that I am rather an ancient Roman, in my way…

Rajneesh was not the only guru-figure who liked Rolls-Royce cars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prem_Rawat#Lifestyle

Eventually, the Rajneesh cult ended in tears, with murder plots, criminal charges etc. The cultists even tried to kill 750 Oregon inhabitants by poisoning. Shades of Jonestown [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown]. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Rajneeshee_bioterror_attack; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Anand_Sheela.

To any Western person of rational mind, that cult was crazy, as are or were “Jonestown”, Scientology, Moonies etc. There are literally thousands of other examples, from “Maharaj Ji” to the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the believers in “Joanna Southcott’s box”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanna_Southcott; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prem_Rawat; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses

Indeed, the Westernized Indians also look with disfavour upon the cults, such as those mentioned, the “Hare Krishna’s” etc, which mostly appeal to Western people. Books have been written, by satirical Indians, about it. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_Cola

Having said that, of course some of the major religions of today were once regarded by many of the people of the time of their inception as equally crazy. Christianity was looked upon as both mad and seditious by Rome, until Constantine adopted it. The same could be said of Islam, mutatis mutandis.

The only guides are reason, conscience, and instinct.

Looking at it in the wider historical context, cults and fantastic beliefs have always existed, but seem to flourish more during times of collapse of existing order and established belief.

Interesting psychological experiment. Not surprising though. A virus which kills one in a thousand people has been presented as a “Black Death”, and has led to human “rabbits” wearing facemasks as ordered (and even when walking alone in the open air!), keeping away from each other, making their children into poor pathetic muzzled and isolated units even in school, and so on.

Not a bad film, but arguably far too sympathetic to the fugitive couple. Few were arrested solely for their opposition to the Vietnam War. Fugitives of that sort usually were wanted on charges of murder, manslaughter, robbing banks, setting off bombs etc.

There was a similar case in real life, seen on TV by me when I was staying on the Gulf Coast of Florida in 1999. A woman in (I think) Ohio, or somewhere that way, was arrested. A housewife/homemaker, married to a dentist who knew nothing of her past (if I am remembering correctly) or her real name. Arrested on Federal warrant originally dated sometime around 1970.

I think that this was a similar case: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/jan/20/duncancampbell.theobserver; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground#Legacy

Tweeter “Jason/@j8ybb” is all too typical. Ignorant, thinks that an insult is an argument, and seems to think (or has been brainwashed into thinking) that White Northern Europeans are somehow worse than, and certainly not more advanced than, the “blacks and browns”. He also seems to despise what appears to be his own ancestry and people.

I just read a few more of the tweets from “Jason”. Sad, more than anything.

Where Are The Limits Of Religious Freedom?

4 Comments

One of the pillars of a future “Threefold Social Order” society will be religious freedom. Such freedom is also said to be a pillar of our existing “Western” model of society.

“We” supposedly all agree with that ideal, meaning of course “we” white Northern Europeans. Of course, once one gets away from Northern Europe and its wider offshoots in North America, Australasia etc, that consensus ends. In the Middle East, much of Africa, South Asia etc, freedom of religion either does not exist, or exists only as a fragile plant.

In Europe, we see that the migration-invasion, and the societal takeover via a high birth rate of, in particular, Muslims, is threatening our fond belief that we have and always will have religious freedom. The pendulum is swinging. Whereas in the Middle Ages, Roman Catholic Christians repressed other religious communities and launched crusades to conquer Muslim lands (a simplification, of course, but let’s leave that aside), today the Muslims are invading Europe, not as armies (as happened several times in the past) but as migrant-invaders (immigrants, “refugees”, “asylum-seekers”, and as babies born in Europe…). If this continues unabated, we can expect to see more attempts to shut down religious freedom for non-Muslims, as shown in this cartoon:

CX9ZsZOWEAAky2e

This process can be seen in the UK. There have in fact been Muslims in the UK for a long time, at least in small numbers. An Islamic centre and cemetery was established on the edge of Woking, Surrey, in the 19thC (it can be seen just before trains enter Woking Station, on the Southern or lefthand side as the train travels from London). However, the political or societal strength has grown in more recent years, along with the numbers.

In the 1970s, the Muslim element rarely displayed itself politically. I myself recall that posters on the Underground in 1976 or 1977, advertizing the Libyan-funded film “Mohammed, Messenger of God” were often defaced, always with the same words: “Islam forbids representations”. That vandalism, along with “community” representation to the UK authorities and the film distributors, resulted in the film being renamed “The Message”.

Now, 40 or so years later, times have moved on. Despite the Muslim population of the UK only being between 5% and 6% (officially), there has been a gradual infiltration (I do not say that it has been particularly organized) into mainstream political parties, in areas where Muslim numbers are significant: parts of the North of England, the Midlands, smaller areas within London and elsewhere. The influence of Sharia law and courts has grown; the Church of England has shown itself craven (as indeed it is when confronted by the aggressive Jewish-Zionist element). In some cases, Christians wishing to display their faith, e.g. by wearing crosses etc, have been given the choice of not doing so or being dismissed.

I repeat, officially the Muslim population of the UK stands at little more than 5% (about 5.1%) so far, but a high birth rate may propel that to 10% in the short term and later to…who knows? What will then be its influence and power?

As to the Jews, in numbers they are small, somewhere between 250,000 to 280,000, though there are also very large numbers of part-Jews, many of whom have little or no day to day connection with Jewish religious practices. Their influence and power comes not from crude numbers, but from concentration in and control of key strategic areas: finance, law, politics, mainstream media and, now, large Internet organizations.

Christians and Muslims accept persons of any race into their communities, at least in principle. Both Christians and Muslims have traditionally accepted it as an article of faith that persons of other religions should be “converted”, whereas Jews do not seek converts (though some modern branches do accept small numbers, e.g. after marriage to Jews). Judaism, therefore, has never launched “crusades” or the like. The Jews do not aim to make the world Jewish, only to be the major influencing, controlling and profiting element in or over the world.

The modern Christian world of the post-Enlightenment has, in principle, accepted that people can be Christian, Muslim or Jew (or whatever else) freely. That is easy enough when it comes to beliefs, ideas, even public worship in particular buildings, though (as mentioned above) it took Europe a long time even to accept those aspects. Much of the world does not go that far.

Where things become more difficult is when the religious practice of a community contravenes the law or morality of the society as a whole. Halal slaughter, kosher slaughter, which revolt the sensibilities of thinking non-Muslims and non-Jews. Male and female genital mutilation by Muslims and Jews. The cries (now electrically amplified) of the muezzin from the minaret of the mosque. These are cases where, in my view, the demands of the society to prevent cruelty, the wish of Europeans not to hear constant mosque noise in their neighbourhood must prevail over the practices of both the Jews and the Muslims.

To take an extreme case: there were societies in the past, Aztecs, Incas, even Europeans of ancient Europe, who engaged in ritual sacrifice of humans. Would we accept such practices today just because “it is part of their religion”? I think not.

There have been problems in the recent past in relation to other religions: the Jehovah’s Witnesses, with their unwillingness to save the lives of their children via blood transfusion; the mental and sometimes physical cruelty to children of some small “Christian” sects such as the Plymouth Brethren; the contrived scam that is Scientology (the British government of the 1960s fought a long battle to suppress Scientology, because of its perceived cultic and controlling behaviour). There could be other examples given.

It might be said that even mainstream Christian religions have done very evil things, e.g. the sex scandals in the Roman Catholic Church, though those involved acts not sanctioned or encouraged by the religion as such.

In the end, society, meaning the political element, must draw the line between the zone where religion holds sway and the zone where group or community religious practice must give way before the general secular law which should protect people and animals.
