The pernicious campaign inciting war between the West including, perhaps especially, the UK, and Russia, is ubiquitous. Such a war would be even more disastrous than the Second World War.

Far fewer than usual. Either the Kiev regime is running short on drones, or is planning a spectacular mass attack, using hoarded drones. Probably the latter.

[“Bondarenko: Western Europe is preparing for a new Northern war against Russia and therefore insists that Ukraine has 800,000 soldiers The Ukrainian political analyst Konstantin BONDARENKO: The war will be fought for control over the Baltic Sea, to deny Russia access to that sea. This was confirmed to me by sources in the European expert community. They are not for peace there, only for a ceasefire. For freezing the conflict – with a subsequent thaw The Euro-Atlantic region is forced to watch as the Ukrainian project, once considered a pillar-support in the fight against Russia, turns into an uncontrolled and toxic mechanism capable of dragging down everyone involved in its artificial maintenance.”]

The Iranian forces must be digging very very deep, in order to protect their missiles and their nuclear programme. Israel is doomed.

From the horse’s mouth. Israel will be using Jews who live outside Israel to “monitor” non-Jews in their own countries; that Israel/”diaspora” nexus will not only be “monitoring” anti-Israel content, but trying to suppress it, and to repress those posting it. That nexus will also be creating false narratives etc.

It is already happening, in fact. AIPAC in the USA, the “CST” and malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] in the UK etc. You see it elsewhere too, France, Australia etc.

Ukrainians are fighting and dying on the front-lines, while “they” sing and dance and profit.

Not as silly as it may sound to some.

[American political, CIA, and business leaders at the Bohemian Grove rituals in Northern California: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Grove]

Russia’s world leadership will not arrive for another 1,500 years but, in the meantime, Russia must be allowed to develop in its own way, not as a field of exploitation by Western profiteers.

In short, they are a millstone around the neck of the British people.

By that, Goodwin means vote for Reform UK. OK…but that may not be enough, in the end.

“...a message they will understand“? I think I had better not say too much, now we in the UK live in a rapidly-emerging police state…

It seems to me that both main (or formerly “main”) System parties are living in a world of delusion in which, after events or scandals or propaganda attack ads, the disenchanted British voters will ditch their new-found support for Reform and the Greens, and will return to the old comfortable (?) fold as Con and Lab voters. Not going to happen, in my view. The old loyalties and habits have been shattered by the betrayals by both Lab and Con (and their palpable incompetence, as well).

[“NEW: The Government is set to announce the “biggest animal welfare reforms” in a generation – Ban puppy farming by reforming dog breeding rules – Ban electric shock collars on pets pending a consultation – Ban trail hunting amid concerns it is being used as a smokescreen for illegal fox hunting – Introduce humane slaughter rules for farmed fish to prevent avoidable pain during killing – Phase out colony cages for laying hens, which restrict movement and natural behaviours like nesting and perching, and pig farrowing crates, which confine mother pigs and stop them turning around after giving birth – Ban snare traps that can catch pets and cause suffering for animals – Reform the use of carbon dioxide to stun pigs after evidence it causes distress and suffering – Ban shooting hares during the breeding season (roughly from February to September) so young hares are not left without mothers.”]

For once, I thoroughly approve of all the new government measures (re. animal welfare) but, as tweeter Sophie Meaden says, both Muslim halal and Jewish kosher slaughter must also be banned.

Naturally, Starmer-stein’s government would not ban “Semitic” forms of slaughter, because 1. this is a totally “occupied” Labour Friends of Israel government which 2. in terms of numbers of actual votes is dependent on UK-resident Muslims.

I might add that I suspect that these (otherwise welcome) animal welfare measures are being brought in partly to —so to speak— shoot the Green Party’s fox, and cut some support ground from underneath the Greens.

Quite. By the same token, while I am sorry for those with disabilities, I oppose the near-worship exemplified by the Paralympics. The Olympics are supposed to be “Faster, Higher, Stronger“, so having a kind of parallel for-the-disabled sports-fest does not seem to be quite right, though I take little interest in sports anyway, so that is not a major issue for me.

As to comedy, I have no idea who the featured individual is (or what she is saying, as tweeter Sophie Meaden says) but Ms. Meaden’s view is surely correct.

There is a kind of madness abroad in this country now. It is seen in various realms, and was very obvious during the truly ridiculous and absurd “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic of 2020-2022. Examples: the range of ludicrous “measures” taken (facemask nonsense, “social distancing”, “furlough” payments, fraudulent business loans or grants, the toytown police of the toytown police state checking people’s shopping, and arresting people out of a drive or a walk or sitting on benches at the seaside).

Mad. All mad. Oh, and who could forget the ridiculous “clap for the NHS” nonsense?

As to comedy, it dies when the State, or the System, mandates what cannot be said, or who can or cannot be laughed at. Thus the Soviet Union had a magazine called Krokodil, supposedly satirical, but it could only laugh at approved targets, so not the CPSU (Communist Party), not socialism as a system etc. The same thing has now happened (since the early 1990s) in the UK. Example: the lame Have I Got News for You show. Private Eye magazine, too.

No comedian who wants to be on TV or radio, or even in theatres, can make fun of Jews, blacks, or a range of other groups or events or types.

We now have an ever-tightening noose of censorship. The “bad law” Communications Act 2003, s.127, for example, is frequently abused by the malicious Jew-Zionists such as, in fact mainly, the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

In fact, the Jewish/Israel lobby is behind much, though not all, of the anti-free speech activity in the UK. The Muslim element too, though much less so. Then there is the pervasive “political correctness” or “woke” influence.

I have a few good cartoons illustrating all that but, because they featured as Prosecution evidence in my 2023 free speech trial, I prefer not to republish them at present. Q.E.D.

Somewhat different from other polls of the past few months. Translates to a Commons with about 283 Reform UK MPs (about 30 short of an overall majority), Cons 111 (far better than all other recent polls; not far short of their present position; and they would be the Opposition, if not in some kind of compact with Reform, which would be not unlikely), 64 Lab, 60 Greens, 50 LibDems, and 44 SNP [etc].

Lord Ashcroft’s polling has been accurate in the past. It may just be that the electorate is very volatile at present.

Good point.

The untermensch should be put up against a wall.

Apparently, the judge, a “senior circuit judge”, no less, even got the victim’s name wrong, referring to Andrew Clark as “Ryan“…

[“Warsaw, Poland — In one of the most politically charged trials in recent Polish history, MP and nationalist leader. @GrzegorzBraun_ delivered a dramatic and controversial defense statement in court. He directly referred to the writings and teachings of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson — whose portrait was displayed in the Polish Parliament — arguing that the ideology expressed in those texts discriminates against non-Jews and violates the Polish Constitution. Prosecutors accuse Braun of hate-motivated offenses and disruption of a religious ceremony during the 2023 Hanukkah event inside the Sejm. His immunity has already been removed by both Polish and European institutions, opening the way for a full criminal trial.“]

Saturday quiz

Well, this week I scored 5/10, again beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored a modest 3/10. I knew the answers to questions 2, 5, 6, 7, and 10. Had I not misread the question, I should also have got no. 8, and in the back of my mind I knew number 1 as well. Never mind.

Interesting to recall to mind that, if all ice on the Earth were to melt, sea levels would rise by no less than 230 feet. Where I once lived in London, Little Venice, is only about 60 ft above sea level. Where I now live is about 80 ft a.s.l., and where I was largely brought up, Caversham Heights, near Reading, on the border of Berkshire and South Oxfordshire, is —despite the “Heights” name— still only 180 ft a.s.l. Indeed, where I lived in New Jersey is only about 150 ft. a.s.l. despite its rather American name of Skytop Gardens.

Time was, when storms and hurricanes had suitably tempestuous female names such as Veronica, Pamela, and Annie. Political correctness then took over even the weather forecast.

I rarely repost such an Israel-lobby scribbler, but truth is truth. In fact, I made a very similar comment myself on the blog, yesterday.

The police have largely given up their proper job of protecting the public and detecting crime (and deterring it), and have become the militia of the “woke” state. Criticize the groups that do much of the real crime (think caravans, or drill “music”, reggae etc, or Romanian passports carried by non-European-looking women in long dresses stuffed with stolen goods) and you yourself will fall victim to the poundshop Stasi that the UK police has become.

40 years ago, Surrey Police were very efficient; times seem to have changed.

As for Essex Police, they tried and failed to have me prosecuted for writing online the truth nearly 8 years ago. My blog article about it (written 6 months later) has proven one of my most popular, having had thousands of views:

Lindsey Graham stands out even in the U.S. Congress as a complete doormat for Israel and the American Jewish lobby. He should not be permitted to continue.

As for the threat to “crush the economy of the UK“, be careful what you wish for, bastard. The UK and EU states may end up forming a rapprochement with Russia, barring American interference with our economies and cultures, and letting the USA die on the vine, preoccupied with its upcoming racial/societal/cultural war.

Gung-ho careerist all-too-ready to have a war with Russia. Does he also accept that, in such a war, the UK might become a devastated irradiated wasteland? Does he imagine that that is somehow brave, or honourable? All because of a cabal of Jew-Zionists who are running a shambolic and brutal dictatorship in Kiev. Why? Meaning— “what is the real agenda?”…

NWO. ZOG.

Bar news

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14117229/barrister-accused-sexual-activity-younger-woman-hotel-grooming.html

A King’s Counsel who once headed up the Criminal Bar Association allegedly used his powerful and influential position to coax an aspiring barrister into ‘unwanted’ sexual activity, a tribunal has heard.

Navjot ‘Jo’ Sidhu, who is married, faces 10 charges of professional misconduct that pertain to allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour with two young women who came to him for advice.

Sidhu, who hails from Southall in west London, wrote he ‘never wanted to be a barrister’ in a column for Counsel magazine in 2023, in which he extolled the virtues of equality and diversity.

I can feel the “diversity” from here!

Of course, “those people” are not the only ones who do such things as alleged, but proportionately, they do far far more of such activity than English people.

Dirty democratic politicians” [Adolf Hitler]

I happened to see this menu from the House of Commons:

The MPs almost literally have their snouts in the trough, and at heavily-subsidized prices— at the same time as so many people are going hungry and (once the weather cools, from this coming weekend) cold as well.

The House of Lords offers its members similar if not better fare, also at rock-bottom prices. A friend of mine often dined there, though many years ago, and told me all about it. In those days, roast salmon, with all trimmings, was about £2 or £3, I think.

In fact, it is reminiscent of the old “Kremlyovsky Payok” (“Kremlin ration”), a system of both free and heavily-subsidized food rations originating in the 1920s, and which expanded under Stalin to become a whole system of (some) free food, and special shops with either subsidized or generally unobtainable food and other items, sourced both from within the Soviet Union and from outside. Ground coffee, for example.

The Kremlyovsky payok was the highest level, awarded to members of the Politburo and other very high-ranking persons, but there were more modest yet still worthwhile “rations” (and other items) available to anyone who was a member of the “nomenklatura“, such as GRU officers down to the rank of major.

In Kazakhstan, where I lived in 1996-1997, Army personnel still got a payok of that sort at that time; I recall that my “landlord”, a Russian colonel in the Kazakhstan Army (ex-Soviet Army; I became very friendly with him, his wife, and their youngest child, who all lived not far from me) received a large sack of grain and a lot of tinned goods regularly.

That system extended (in Soviet days) to —in effect— private hospitals, vacation “sanatoria” (hotels with a health and fitness aspect), and access to foreign (and usually better) domestic equipment such as refrigerators, ovens, washing machines etc.

A few extremely valued people (such as Mikhail Sholokhov, the writer of The Quiet Don, aka Quiet Flows the Donhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Quiet_Flows_the_Don; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Sholokhov), and the holder of numerous awards, including 6 awards of the Order of Lenin and 2 awards of Hero of Socialist Labour, were even allowed “open bank accounts”, which meant that they could go to a bank and be given effectively any amount of money they wanted (Soviet roubles only, of course), whenever they liked.

Continuing facemask nonsense

Funny. Pathetic.

Biden has at least the excuse that he is, or is said to be, somewhat demented.

I went to Waitrose yesterday evening (it being the only actual supermarket for miles), and noticed a woman walking to her car in the car park— alone, in the sun and a slight breeze, yet masked.

For some people, wearing one of those stupid masks or muzzles has become a kind of “I can prove that I really exist” virtue-signal, or a flag of allegiance to some sort of fake communitarian “clap for the NHS” club.

Those cranks must have hated it when shops were allowed to reopen without subjecting their customers (that’s customers, not prisoners) to the whole soulless and pointless rigmarole of “social distancing”, the facemask nonsense —“would you pull up your mask please!“— and the rest of it all, monitored by shop staff suddenly given petty power (but who now have to return to stacking shelves and helping the shoppers rather than corralling them).

The loonies or semi-loonies still wearing their (completely useless) facemasks remind me of the Japanese soldiers on Pacific islands, still fighting the war in 1980, not having understood that it finished in 1945, and then realizing (?) that they had just been wasting their time doing something rather stupid.

England’s housing crisis

Worth reading. Depressing. Angering, too.

The result of a number of factors, among which are mass immigration, births to non-whites (causing an increase of maybe 10 millions in the past two decades), and the politically-driven sell-off of local authority homes (from the mid-1980s onward).

As for the USA, whatever one might say in mitigation, it has attacked, or bombed, or engaged in warfare in, a huge number of countries even since 1945, including Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, various other countries of Latin America, Grenada, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Lebanon etc.

The tweeter “@ThePFofJudea”, as Hitchens implies (I think) has apparently confused William Joyce, aka “Lord Haw Haw” [shown above, when young, in the 1920s or early 1930s], with Adolf Hitler, merely because Joyce also sports a small moustache. Note the slashed face, a result of a politically-motivated attack on Joyce in 1924.

No-one can rule guiltlessly” [Saint-Just].

Putin had no real choice, but his decision must have assumed, evidently mistakenly, that Russian military intelligence (the GRU) and the Russian Army (both on the ground and in the General Staff or, to use an old term, the Stavka) was up to the job, competent. Not so, it seems to have been proven.

This is a potentially existential crisis for Russia as anything purporting to be an independent state, let alone a regional power (the “superpower” label having been lost except in terms of nuclear weapons).

Russia cannot lose this war. By that, I mean that Putin cannot afford to lose this war.

The Russian side is now proposing peace talks. The Ukrainian or Kiev-regime side has refused, saying that only the “return” of Crimea (historically, usually part of Russia rather than Ukraine) and the Donbass etc can be the precondition for talks.

Russia will never accept that Crimea, especially, and its almost entirely Russian population, be given , or “returned”, to the Kiev government.

The present situation is worrying even for those who live far from Ukraine. There is a mob, of the malicious and/or idiotic, baying for Russian blood, and for war with Russia, in effect. I wonder what a Venn diagram would look like if it contained that Twit-mob and also the similar mobs who wanted war with Iraq and then Afghanistan?

If the present limited “Ukrainian” counter-offensive in the south succeeds, and the Kherson pocket or bulge is eliminated, Russia may start to attack, more heavily than heretofore, Odessa, other cities, and Kiev itself.

There is a danger of huge escalation here. The Kiev regime is being supplied with more and more and better, more powerful, arms. Not only arms but money, food, medicines etc. Supplied by the West, but mainly from the USA and UK.

Without those arms, without that money, the failed state of Ukraine could not exist at all. It has almost no exports, its industrial areas are inoperative, or ablaze, or under Russian control. Millions of its wealthier and/or better-educated citizens are in exile. Within Ukraine, the Zelensky regime has shot or imprisoned opponents without trial, or after neo-Stalinist quick “trials”; it has banned trade unions and all opposition parties, and there is no freedom of speech.

In short, Zelensky, like his shambolic and corrupt “government”, is a “monkey on a stick”. This is a Punch and Judy show.

Having said that, if it is true that Russia’s forces are faltering, if it is true that Russia’s supply of heavy weapons to the war is slowing, then that may leave Putin and his top people with an incentive to escalate the war beyond anything yet seen. That in turn might provoke a NATO response. If that were to happen, European civilization, in Europe, itself might be in peril.

Look at the UK. Ten years ago, even five years ago, look on, eg, Rightmove, and you saw numerous English or Scottish country estates for sale, some with thousands of acres. Now? Nothing, pretty much. I blogged about this previously, even a few years ago.

Cash is being phased out. It’s a control mechanism. Once cash goes, the citizen is reduced to complete and utter dependence on his little plastic cards. If they are restricted or taken away, by whoever controls the system, the individual is immediately an outcast, without money, without any way (short of theft, robbery, or begging) even to access food.

When I last visited Hong Kong, in 2006, there was a regional technical problem with credit and debit cards. None worked for several days. Fortunately, I was already in hotel accommodation (the Sheraton, Kowloon) and had several thousand US dollars in cash as well, but what if a similar situation occurs, and you have no cash (because cash does not exist), and what if you are not in accommodation for whatever reason? You sleep on a park bench, and forage for whatever food you can find.

Do not imagine that the banks are some kind of unbiased arbiter or supplier of services. They may be, most of the time, but even now we see examples of people with “the wrong views” being cut off from banking services. It happened a while ago to Sam Melia, Laura Towler and Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative. I am not talking even about the PA official bank accounts. No, I refer to the individual, personal bank accounts of those people.

It can happen to you and to me, too.

You can see the way UK television drama has gone, even detective stories such as Endeavour, Grantchester etc. A kind of “we must have half the characters black, brown, other non-white, or at least gay” ethos.
