Well, only a modest 4/10 this week, the same as political journalist John Rentoul. I knew the answers to questions 1, 4, 7, and 10. I “really” knew no. 5 too, but was unsure.
The genetic basis for a future super-race and superculture
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Founder_effect
“In population genetics, the founder effect is the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population. It was first fully outlined by Ernst Mayr in 1942,[1] using existing theoretical work by those such as Sewall Wright.[2]
As a result of the loss of genetic variation, the new population may be distinctively different, both genotypically and phenotypically, from the parent population from which it is derived.
In extreme cases, the founder effect is thought to lead to the speciation and subsequent evolution of new species.[3]“
[Wikipedia]
What is that to us? Well, many readers of the blog will have seen my speculative essay https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.
In that piece, published nearly 6 years ago in 2019, I wrote that:
“Half of the Present-Day Inhabitants of Europe Descend from One Bronze Age Man
Recent advances in archaeological technology, DNA etc have established that over half of the present European population is descended from only one Bronze Age individual, who lived about 4,000 years ago.
In fact, studies seem to show that most present-day Europeans are descended from only three such Bronze Age “kings”, “nobles” etc (in fact, such titles are nothing more than journalistic guesses). Indeed, if present-day non-Europeans and part-Europeans (resident in the Europe of today) are taken out of the equation, the proportion descended from those few might well be far higher.
This is not the place in which to speculate about what events caused only 3 individuals to be the progenitors of most of the European population living today. That speculation is better left to others with wide knowledge of palaeontology, archaeology etc. In any case, that is not the point of this article. The fact remains that almost everything we know as our present culture originated, genetically, from those few men and their families. As a 1930s poster had it, “National Socialism, The Expression of our Biological Knowledge”.
Just think about that: everything, pretty much, that we accept as the human-created world around us, from planes to cars to our housing, to our philosophies, sciences etc, comes from those few people, whose descendants are now the European peoples, and also many of the Americans, Australians etc in the world.“
I finished that essay by saying that:
“Nick Griffin, one-time head of the BNP, has written about how conventional politics is finished in Western Europe. He places his trust in the durability of the white Northern European family: the production of children to maintain the bloodlines or, as some term them, “les rivieres pourpres”. While I cannot agree with him if he thinks that organization is unnecessary (I suspect that he does not go that far), it is certainly true that setting up little political parties, or having pleasant social evenings with like-minded political people etc is a dead duck at present, though we must never forget that Adolf Hitler was member number 7 of the DAP which became the NSDAP. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
In the end, the future may be ours if we as a group have children who can bear our bloodlines into the future. In this study, I noted that one man long ago, about 4,000 years ago, is now known to have been the progenitor of over half of all European people alive today. I also noted that two other men were the progenitors of most of the rest of the people of European ethnicity who now live. Those three men created our present Europe and therefore most of the advanced world civilization of today. Three men!
It may be that a mere few people or even one couple will, through their children, be the transmitters of les rivieres pourpres into the future, that our present civilization will soon descend into bloodshed and chaos, but that the few who matter will survive and then create the future through their own bloodlines and via the culture and knowledge which they possess.”
[from a blog post of January 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/]
Hitler once remarked that “those who think that National Socialism is merely a political movement do not know much about it.”
National Socialism, as known before 1945, no longer exists. Only the essence, or quintessence, still remains, attracting European and European-descended people with its magic.
What is the psychological basis for the “magic” of what remains of National Socialism? Simply this: that we, as human beings, are not satisfied with existing society, with the world as it is, with the general population as it is, and even with ourselves, as we now are.
To that end, we wish to create, and will create, even if it takes thousands of years, not only a new and better society, but a new and better form of human being.
Some will object, “yes, but we ourselves shall not see it.” You will see it, even if only after a dozen or a hundred reincarnations. You will be there. I too shall be there.
What do we mean by a “super-race”? A race of human beings that are, or will become, “superhuman”, above the present human type, with capabilities ranking above even the most advanced, intelligent, and/or spiritually-enlightened human beings of the present day.
In the 1930s, there was a poster with the wording, “National Socialism— the expression of our biological knowledge“. That knowledge was vastly expanded after 1945, despite the superficially catastrophic defeat of the Reich.
The discovery of DNA, and the later application of DNA to a number of practical purposes, has been a gamechanger in all sorts of ways.
What I have written about above is not a fantasy, or “pie in the sky”. It is based on what we know of history and pre-history, and also upon what we know is not only possible but what we know has actually happened, albeit unconsciously, in past ages— the creation of the basis for a future civilization and culture.
Our present world, and its essence in the European people(s), is the result of the thousands of years of human activity and striving, but also of the fact that a tiny group of people, thousands of years ago, and whether consciously or not, created a family and/or clan which, by routes we do not exactly know, became the basis for almost everything we now know, use, possess, or are.
Now we too must create the kernel of a future superculture, one which will be as far in advance of our present world as it and we are in relation to the world(s) of 5,000, 50,000, or 500,000 years ago.
We cannot today create, immediately and directly, that future superculture. We can only create something which can be a platform or foundation for later and higher levels, or mutations to human beings of the future who will be so distant from us —though linked by blood— that they will, we shall, be a distinct and different species, a species into which we ourselves will one day reincarnate.
The first necessity is to fight to preserve European race and culture; above all, to prevent contamination of the root-stock by inferior elements seeping (or surging) into Europe, including the UK. Only by preserving a European racial or sub-racial stock can the first stage to the future superculture be created.
That is why the powers of Evil try constantly to destroy consciousness of the necessity to keep Europe “white”, i.e. European/Aryan. They wish to rob the world of its proper future, and to substitute for that an inferior future: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.
Our allegiance is not, or not primarily, to the present-day European type, race, sub-race, or nationalities, but to that future super-race and superculture.
We are the “pilgrims”, the vanguard, and the “happy few”, who may be called the “true vine”; those who will, over hundreds and thousands of years, create a new world.

Lisa Nandy is evil, and is one of the worst enemies of the British people.
The question about her own “enrichment”, however, is easily answered…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Nandy
There comes a time when what we at least call “democracy” is so manipulated and contaminated by dark conspiratorial cabals that the usual polite methods of response or defence become inadequate, when the forces of Evil have to be exorcized.
That Ferguson creature has never been punished for his crimes. Thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, have died indirectly because of his misuse of statistics, and his deliberate manipulations. The victims include those who were and still are unable to get timely appointments with medical specialists, or receive treatment, care and/or operations. Not to mention those whose lives and lifestyles have been ruined along with the UK economy.
The same condemnation deserved by Professor Ferguson is, of course, also deserved by the idiotic and/or conspiratorial msm talking heads who talked up the unnecessary fear, and System propaganda of the “Covid” scam. People such as Piers Morgan.
The “Covid” scamdemic or panicdemic did not and does not stand alone. The System attack on what remains of our liberties is multi-pronged. “Me-too” idiots lap it up like mother’s milk.
Incidentally, on an early-morning foray today to a supermarket 5-6 miles away from my now-very-humble home, I saw a 2020-2021-style facemask loonie, the first for a few weeks. A middle-aged man paying for groceries, wearing a blue facemask muzzle. As if that piece of cloth (probably unwashed since he bought it) will “protect” him (or anyone else) from anything! Pathetic. Like the sprigs of garlic mediaeval peasants apparently wore in an attempt to ward off the Black Death, vampires, and werewolves.

Looks as though reality has broken into the German political milieu. Germany recovered from great devastation after WW2. If it were to be devastated again, and worse, it might never recover; and why should it support the shambolic, corrupt, and brutal dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev anyway?
The Kiev regime started to run out of soldiers some time ago (as noted on the blog). The press-gangs can abduct Ukrainians off the street, put them into uniform, and drive them under guard to the front, but that scarcely helps the Kiev regime to defend against a gathering Russian storm. 2025 will probably see the Stavka order a general advance.

I do not think it is irrelevant that the MP fronting the euthanasia bill is Kim Leadbeater, who prior to being parachuted into her place by the Labour Party was merely a lesbian P.E. teacher of some kind but, crucially, was also the sister of assassinated MP Jo Cox.
Kim Leadbeater was, thereby, also the sister-in-law of sex pest and alleged rapist Brendan Cox. Both have been involved with the post-assassination “charities” More in Common and the Jo Cox Foundation.
Brendan Cox is a “secular humanist” (atheist), and a supporter of the British Humanist Association: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Cox#Personal_life.

I have been critical of farmers and the farming lobby in the UK, but she has a point.

“In Israel, war fatigue is growing, the death toll is rising, and the scale of the fighting is expanding. A growing number of Israeli army reservists are avoiding service, further straining an already overstretched army amid an ever-expanding war. An Israeli army spokesman said the number of conscripts had dropped by about 15% since the start of the operation in the Gaza Strip in October 2023. Israel is now embroiled in the longest conflict in its history. In the first months of the war, some 350,000 Israelis were conscripted, a huge number for a country with a population of less than 10 million. The army plans to extend mandatory military service and increase the maximum age limit for reservists. /Washington Post/.“
Israel is doomed. Once the Israeli state falls, the power and influence of the worldwide Jewish lobby will diminish greatly, enabling Europe, in particular, to break free.

I happened to see on TV an elderly, over-90 years, but very compos mentis, retired professor, talking to the TV chef Rick Stein about the decline in average IQ since 1950, as apparently noted in a study done by, or under the auspices of, Bradford University. The professor cited as a (or even the) causative reason the decline of consumption of fish and shellfish in the UK over the past 74 years.
That may be part of it. Certainly some types of fish popular with the mass market have become expensive; even standard British favourites such as cod and haddock. I bought some fish and chips recently: 1 large cod, 1 large haddock, 1 small bag of chips. £20.50.
Whether you think that £20.50 for a smallish bag of chips and 2 large pieces of fish is expensive or not will depend on your general financial level, but it is at least certainly more than most citizens will want to pay out on a daily basis.
Some fish in the UK is not, however, expensive, however poor you are. Mackerel, for one, which can be bought (uncooked) in a supermarket for as little as a pound or so for a good-size fillet.
I recall that, when I lived in Fethiye (Turkey) for a few months in 2001 (I drove there from the UK, a trip that was more difficult then than it now is), I went to the fish market in the town almost daily, about 4-5 times a week. The hierarchy of price descended from the most expensive, which were huge langoustines, or tuna steak and swordfish (cut from massive whole tuna and swordfish, some 5 or 6 feet or more long and 1-2 feet wide), through many other types of fish and shellfish and down to tiny fish, presumably by-catch, which cost only about 5% or even 2% of the most expensive. There is always a decision to be made by the individual on what is affordable or not.
IQ in a general population is obviously affected by diet, but is also a function of other factors. The UK’s average IQ level has been badly affected by, inter alia, the mass immigration that has been such a feature of the past 75 years.
Importation of non-European peoples into the UK has had many negative consequences. A lower average IQ is merely one.
One sees evidence of decline in IQ and/or educational levels everywhere. One example might be secondary school exam papers. When I was studying, belatedly, in my mid-twenties, for “A” Levels (and an “S” level) in 1983, studying alone and without tuition, I sent off for papers from a number of previous years, from the 1950s and 1960s right up to 1982. Even in 1983, one could see that the level of difficulty had steadily declined over the previous 30 years.
Since the 1980s, of course, there has been massive award inflation. Not only at secondary educational level but also at tertiary (university) level. Hardly anyone actually fails a university degree now, unless the student drops out. The kind of average degree, normal only 30 or more years ago, a 2:2 (as earned by Tony Blair, among others), is now not even considered a reasonably “good” degree. The real standard has not improved, but dropped, while presented as something wonderful.
Not that IQ (and knowledge) mean everything, anyway. “EQ” (“emotional intelligence”) is also important: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence.
As for myself, long ago, in the 1980s, my IQ was tested at 156 (UK average being 100, and university students typically testing at 125), certainly in the top 1% of the population, but that was in the mid-1980s, when I was about 30, and it may well be (I do not know) that I would test lower today. By way of compensation, though, I think that I can say that experience, and other infusions from the stream of Life, make up the difference, and perhaps more.
We often hear that “things do not work properly any more in our society”, and that may become a greater problem as average IQ drops ever lower.
Our society should be travelling, by design, in the other direction.

“Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer is a very nasty little man, a typical bureaucrat given power and unable to handle it.
Do not imagine that words alone will sort out this whole mess.
It is time to stop thinking of MPs, not all but many of them, as merely “mistaken” or “wrongheaded“, and to awaken to the fact that some, perhaps many of them, are —in a word, in lay meaning— “traitors” to the British people and their future. Not necessarily the above MP, though; I am talking generally.
Whatever one may think of “Tommy Robinson”, he has a point, nicht wahr?
“This decision by the SRA about Lewis’ negligent advice is just awful. Mark Lewis told Pete Newbon that the defamatory publication did not identify me. It was startlingly incompetent advice because the publication contained a clear photo of me and Tolley v Fry (possibly the most famous defamation case) says a claimant can be identified by a photo or sketch. The SRA’s own Code of Conduct says solicitors must “ensure that the service you provide to clients is competent…” So contrary to what the SRA says, incompetent advice is a regulatory matter. And the SRA’s strategy for dealing with Lewis’ incompetent advice is for Newbon to bring a negligence claim or complain to the ombudsman. Obviously, Newbon will not do either of those things. It scares me that the SRA – faced with a solicitor who appears not to grasp the absolute basics of the area of law he works in – won’t take action to protect the public from incompetent advice. Surely it is the SRA’s job to identify and deal with solicitors who give incompetent advice?@sra_solicitors @lawsocgazette.“
[James Wilson, successful claimant in the legal case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Cantor, and Newbon (deceased)]. ]
Mark Lewis, as previously noted, is a self-publicizing and —by the “occupied” UK msm— hugely overrated solicitor who should have been struck off (not merely reprimanded and fined, as he was) for some of his previous professional (meaning unprofessional) defaults. He is, and has been repeatedly proven to be, dishonest, untruthful, and professionally negligent.
Only a complete idiot would now instruct “Mark Lewis Lawyer”.
What is protecting Lewis, in my view, is the fact that the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority was screeched at in 2019 by the organized Jew-Zionist lobby, after the SRA fined and reprimanded Lewis, after which he performatively decamped to Israel (but then slunk back quite often to the UK to make money). The SRA may be running a little scared of “the screechers” (((them))).

“Accurate… I spent 9 months in East Africa. It’s very hard to pinpoint exactly why it’s such a mess.
They have an infantile mentality and absolutely no commercial sense.
I once went about 10 miles down the road, in the middle of nowhere on the way to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and every 50 meters there was someone selling watermelon. I said to the driver, “Everyone is selling exactly the same product. Why don’t they try making watermelon juice or something different to stand out?” He replied, “But why would we do that? We like melon!”
That attitude was everywhere. In fact, I would sometimes meet Westerners who would say, “Isn’t it amazing how they’ve kept this piece of junk car going for 30 years?” And I’d reply, “It’s more amazing that we have automated car factories with robots.” They literally only focus on the immediate need. “Car not go today, car fixed with string and tape.“
The only two factors preventing Britain and other European countries from retaking direct control of Africa, of all of Africa, are 1. socio-political will and 2. the fact that the (((globalists))) find it more convenient to exploit Africa’s resources via corrupt tiny “elites” in each fake African “state” (and to hell with the environment, the forests, the wildlife, and the African people themselves).
The fact is that European rule would benefit all, not least the ordinary Africans.
Incidentally, it would be a great deal easier than many imagine for Europe to reconquer Africa militarily. Only the two factors already noted make it at all hard.

The “fake history” of the 1970s
That’s because you, “Steve Zodiac”, are apparently telling your grandchildren a load of old hooey…
I have blogged in the past about how very many people (including, weirdly, many who were at least in their teens then, and so actually of an age to remember) say, and even perhaps believe, that the 1970s in the UK were some kind of dark age in which the electricity was off most of the time, in which bodies were left unburied by reason of industrial action, in which trains and buses rarely ran, in which rubbish piled up in the towns and cities, in which there was a “three day week” when offices and factories were closed for four days each week, and in which life was generally miserable (for example, food was terrible, they say).
The above-noted fabled dystopia was, we are told, the result of overreaching trade union power and Labour misgovernment.
Where to start?
First of all, the party in power for the first 4 years of the 1970s was the Conservative Party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_United_Kingdom_general_election, and of course Mrs Thatcher won again for the Conservatives in 1979: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_United_Kingdom_general_election.
In other words, out of the 10 years, Labour was in power for about 6 years. Labour government was in place from the early 1960s until mid-1970, then from early 1974 until mid-1979.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1974_United_Kingdom_general_election.
One interesting fact is that, in the 1966 General Election, the “two main parties” (Lab/Con) got exactly 98% of Commons seats on just under 90% of the popular vote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_United_Kingdom_general_election#Results.
Compare to 2024: 81.8% of seats based on 57.4% of the popular vote.
In 1966, the winning party (Labour) got 48% of the popular vote, the losing Conservatives 41.9%.
In 2024, Labour got 33.7%, and the losing Conservatives only 23.7%.
The electoral system has become not just unfair but also illogical and ridiculous. It no longer reflects reality.
Reverting to the general situation in the 1970s, the much-talked-about “Three Day Week” only affected, directly, commercial operations (which were banned from using electricity on the other four days). The Three Day Week only lasted for two months. Out of 10 years (120 months).
I saw the Three Day Week firsthand. I was working, aged just 18, as supposed assistant manager in a very small commercial intelligence outfit based in the Strand (London). The office only had 5 people including me, though we did have a network of mostly ad-hoc agents all over the southern and eastern parts of England (anywhere south or southwest of The Wash). Much of the work was in Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Essex. The agents were often retired Army officers who, on being contacted, would —eagerly— say something such as “right-oh, old boy. I’ll fire up the Rover and get onto it.”
I must do a blog post sometime about it.
There were, in the early 1970s, strikes by coal miners etc, resulting in a few brief power cuts (“outages”, as the Americans say), but they lasted for a few hours a day, for a few days. Out of 10 years, again.
In the “Winter of Discontent” (1978-79), there were, for a few weeks, situations in some towns and cities whereby rubbish piled up, yes; that much of the “fable” is true, but only for a brief time. As for the “bodies left unburied“, that only applied in Liverpool and Manchester and only for 14 days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_Discontent#Gravediggers’_strike.
In fact, though the 1970s had its problems political, social, economic, Britain still had possibilities. The population was still almost entirely white Northern European, new ideas and projects were around or developing (the Milton Keynes conurbation, the Open University, new express trains, cross-Channel hovercraft etc), and the absurd and damaging house-price madness, though it had started, was still in its early stages.
Britain still had a functioning Army, Navy, Air Force (etc), and a police force that mainly did its expected job and was not usually the sort of poundshop Stasi we now see, snooping on or “monitoring” the expression of views and opinions.
Incidentally, the food was OK back then on the whole. Slightly less cosmopolitan, yes, but in the South of England at least, foreign foods such as hummus, taramasalata, olives, Indian, Chinese, etc were ubiquitous. In fact, some food was better and more available back then.
What I find worrying is not only that people who were not there, or were small children, are convinced that England in 1970-1979 was a dark and gloomy place; more that people who were there seem to have substituted, for what actually happened, a kind of folk-tale.
As for Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Largan, who was parachuted into the constituency of High Peak (Derbyshire) and served as MP from GE 2019 to GE 2024, he was only born in 1987.
If people cannot recall accurately the 1970s, how much less accurate must be the “memories”, often publicized, of the 1930s and 1940s.

The increasing support for Reform UK among (but not exclusively) “the young” seems to mirror the support for the AfD in Germany.
For me, Reform UK is not the way to go: pro-Israel, pro the UK Jewish lobby, economically “libertarian” etc. I agree with the Reform UK hostility to mass immigration, but not with much else they say. For me, real social nationalism is the way to go.
Still, the overall direction of travel is hopeful.
You see tweets, or on TV, that “at least the migrants are prepared to work“, but first of all that applies to some, not all; secondly, what that naive assessment omits to add is that the kind of work most of them (the ones that are willing to work) want to do (or can do, having no usable qualifications or skills, or English language), is in the “black economy”. No income tax, no VAT etc. That way, they can get whatever State benefits they can blag as well as whatever they can make on the side, so rent paid, pocket money, maybe disability too in some cases. Child benefit, if applicable. You get the idea.
The bigger picture, as Goodwin has said, is that that whole process traps this country into being a low-wage, low productivity economy. Exactly the opposite of where we should be heading.
That would be good.

The self-describing “left” is particularly prone to denunciation. In fact, in modern Britain, that is its sole characteristic of note. No more do they want to revolt against privilege, or have a revolution of some sort. No, all they want to do is to obey the dictates of the State (especially if fronted by a “Labour” label), and to “deplatform” or “cancel” (censor or ban) anyone thought to be an independent thinker (usually someone labelled “racist” or “fascist” or “Nazi“). You saw the syndrome during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, of course. Anyone questioning the nonsense pumped out by Government or “SAGE” (I preferred “DUMB”— the Department Under Matt and Boris) was called a “Covidiot” by real idiots such as Piers Morgan.

“The United States is afraid of losing Ukrainian troops before the November presidential elections, because it will be very bad for the Biden administration, and especially for Kamala Harris.
Ukraine, even with American or Western weapons, cannot improve the situation on the battlefield, but the White House has only one goal – to ensure that the Ukrainians do not fail before the elections ,” says John Mearsheimer, an American political scientist.“
“Zelensky in an interview with NBC News: Russia must be present at the second peace summit He said that Ukraine and the signatories of the Swiss resolution will work out a plan to end the war by this event and will propose it for the second summit.
“Representatives of Russia must be present there. We understand that without the Russian side, it is very difficult to end this war diplomatically. And all countries asked us to have representatives of the Russian Federation at the second summit. We said, we are not against it, let’s prepare a plan and invite them.”
Zelensky knows that the Kiev regime is losing. Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

“Until I started this account, I would never have believed that foreigners were responsible for so many rapes, the stats are well hidden, an Asylum Seeker or Immigrant issued a passport and then arrested, will be recorded on crime stats as British and they’re under no obligation to give there religion or ethnicity.

I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I believe the true figures are hidden from us on purpose.
Emrah Demirci, of Windmill Road, Cheshunt, was put behind bars after appearing at St Albans Crown Court today (Friday, April 14).”
Officially, there are about 11,000 “foreign” convicts in English prisons (i.e. in England and Wales), but if you include the ones who are really foreign but who hold UK passports, the figure is probably nearer to 30,000, maybe more. If you include all non-whites in UK prisons, that figure would rise to about 50,000, probably more.
Elimination or deportation of all non-Brit (non-real-Brit) prisoners would therefore free up about half of all the spaces in the prisons.
This has been the situation for many many years. Even when I was a Bar pupil nearly 35 years ago, most crime, the vast majority, in the London area, was being committed by non-whites, judging by the defendants seen in (and defended in) the London magistrates’ courts and Crown Courts.

Whatever happens in the next few months, in the longer run Israel is doomed. The demographics of the region, and the advance in technology meaning that surrounding states become more powerful in terms of rockets etc (including possible atomic “suitcase bombs”), must mean that Israel as a state cannot survive.

“Populism”, though, can be a dead end. The people are desperate for a new order, but “populism” alone cannot provide what is needed. Only social nationalism can do that, yet there is no significant party or movement that can provide it, certainly not in the UK.

“Ritter: Zelensky is very worried.
The major operations of the Ukrainian army, including the invasion of the Kursk region, were organized primarily by Vladimir Zelensky with the aim of regularly demonstrating active military activity in order to obtain further financial support from the West, said retired American intelligence officer Scott Ritter. “
Zelensky is very concerned about the political component of this conflict, in terms of maintaining the flow of money and weapons to Kiev. He therefore often looks for opportunities to conduct military operations that will help promote the theory that Ukraine is capable of permanent resistance, which contradicts with reality ,” Ritter stated.
According to his words, the disastrous consequences of the previous operations clearly showed that the situation in the Kursk region should end with the defeat of Ukraine.“

That is the sort of thing that happens when the population of a country only takes interest in rubbish such as spectator team sports, the Olympics, similar mass-oriented TV programming etc, and abdicates its citizen-responsibilities, leaving the field to NWO/ZOG puppets posing as “mainstream” politicians.

Then add costs of policing, courts, prison etc once some (if only a minority; so be it) start criminal activity. £30,000+ each per year. Overall, in conservative terms, Between £15M and £25M a year. That’s for ONE DAY’S CONTINGENT…
£25M that will now not be spent on British people, for British people’s health, welfare, transport, education, future.

I may not agree with everything Katie Hopkins says, and am not quite at one with her ideologically, but she is right about at least some of the big things.
Thankfully, the ridiculous Schauspiel for the masses called “the Olympics” largely passed me by (as usual), apart from my having seen video clips and photos of the “Satanic” (?) opening ceremony.
Of course, the “British” msm went crazy because the supposedly Brit team called “Team GB” won a few meaningless medals. Yawn.
The unlucky Ukrainian soldiers used in the Kursk incursion are, like all the Kiev-regime soldiery, being used by Zelensky’s evil regime as cannon-fodder. Dispensable. Many were press-ganged into service. Few if any now are volunteers.
As blogged previously, even were the Kiev regime forces to reach Kursk (city), the centre of the region, their extended lines would be vulnerable to both air (including missile) attack and also to flank attacks by armour and infantry. I also doubt whether the Kiev-regime forces can resupply an extended line of incursion for very long.
So far, it looks as though the forces of the Kiev regime have penetrated to a depth of about 20 miles from the border line.
“The Kursk offensive comes after weeks of Russian advances in the east, where a succession of villages have been captured by the Kremlin’s forces.” [BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crkm08rv5m0o].
Note that, until now, the “free” UK/US msm has not reported even in passing that the Russian forces are achieving victory in the south-east and east of Ukraine.
The Kiev-regime incursion may have reached a depth of about 30 miles in some areas, such as the Lezhinka area noted in the BBC report, but that is still a long way (maybe 50 miles) from the city of Kursk itself.
Kursk (city) is about 327 miles from Moscow.
The world-conquering armoured and other forces of the German Reich faltered amid the huge empty spaces of (even) European Russia in the early 1940s. How much more pointless and unlikely to succeed is this Kiev-regime incursion, with its unwilling and poorly-trained soldiers?
In the end, were Russian forces to have to fall back to Kursk (city), which I feel is highly unlikely anyway, the Russian “stavka” (high command) could use masses of advanced conventional weapons such as thermobaric missiles and bombs to completely annihilate the Kiev-regime advance.
Actually, I feel sorry for the Ukrainian soldiers (and their families), who are mere pawns in the corrupt evil game of the Jew Zelensky and his Kiev cabal.
“German expert: The maneuver in Kursk could mark the military end of Ukraine “
An attack on the Kursk area could lead to the military end of Ukraine, because its armed forces are inferior to the Russian army.
The Ukrainian brigades deployed in Donbass are quite worn out and were waiting to be replaced by new forces, which are now used to attack Kursk “, said Gustav Gressel in an interview for “Spiegel”.”
That Graham idiot is a complete Jewish-lobby/Israel lobby puppet, so his idea is not entirely unexpected.
I doubt that many retirement-age American pilots are desperate enough to want to fly for the Kiev regime, though. Even were the pay to be high, so is the chance of coming back to the USA in a body bag (if the pieces can be found). 20 years in the present version of the Gulag Archipelago is also rather uninviting.
I was slightly acquainted in 1996-1997 with a group of civilian American pilots in Kazakhstan, ex-Eastern Airlines, hired to fly the Kazakh President’s Boeing aircraft. Nice fellows, who had been cheated out of their pension in the U.S., but complete fish out of water in the post-Soviet and Russophone environment of Almaty. They could not even say hello or ask for a cup of coffee, and lived an isolated life in a dacha on the edge of town.
I wish I had one!

So, in the end, British free speech and civil rights were killed off, not by “Nazis”, and not by Communists (as such), but by a bespectacled, mealy-mouthed, charisma-free, little bureaucrat-lawyer turned Labour Party MP, with a Jewish wife and some buy-to-let properties.
“Sargon of Akkad” (Carl Benjamin) echoing, inter alia, my recent blog posts about the lack of legitimate mandate for Starmer-Labour. As said previously, out of every 20 people eligible to vote at GE 2024, 8 decided not to vote at all, perhaps because no social-national party or movement exists (as yet).
Out of every 20 eligible voters, and out of every 12 voters who voted, only 4 voted Labour (Con 3, Reform UK 2, LibDems 2, Greens 1), in rough terms.
The Starmer-Labour government has no legitimacy, and no mandate.
Colonies on other planets
Well, sad to say, that is nonsense. Human beings cannot live on other planets (the ones we know about) because the atmospheres are poisonous, and because the gravity is either too little or too great (meaning the human body cannot, over time, take the stresses).
There is no soil or water on other known planets which might be available for agriculture.
Other planets in our solar system are either too hot or too cold for human life to survive.
Several known planets are “gas giants”, and have no hard surface on which even to land or locate an artificial colony.
There is no way (short of somehow living in giant glass bubbles) for human beings even to live on the Moon, let alone Mars or Jupiter. There is also no point in human beings living —if they could— on other planets.
This whole idea of interplanetary colonization is a waste of effort. What it comes down to is a few billionaires who, however you look at it, have far too much money, and who are engaged in a puerile competition with each other, the prize seeming to be the status of having been the first to send loads of affluent tourists on joy-trips around the Earth and, eventually, Moon.
Incidentally, using current technology, it would take 200+ days to reach Mars. Jupiter? Between 600 days to get close, but up to 2,000 days to get into Jupiter’s orbit and/or land. So 2-6 years. Uranus? Perhaps 9 years. Neptune? Estimates vary between 9 and 18 years.

“The Russian Army has destroyed a column of Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment that broke through in the Kursk region.
The enemy was moving in the Malaya Loknya area – this is approximately 15-20 km from the border.
The equipment stopped, where it was overtaken. The vehicles were destroyed by Ka-52M helicopters, and the infantry in the forest was finished off by artillery.“
The Ukrainian (Kiev regime) advance appears to have no goal other than to reassure the suppliers of money and weapons in the West: “look what we can do!” etc.
The Kiev regime has insufficient men and armour to penetrate Russia more deeply, and it has no supply capability for such a serious operation. The Kiev regime advance will (even taking it at face value) run out of steam and then be unable to resupply its columns.
If the Wehrmacht in the early 1940s found itself lost in the vast prostor (apparently-limitless space) of Russia, how could Zelensky’s pitiful forces do better?
Is the Kiev regime trying to get Russia to use tactical nuclear weapons (either in the field or on Kiev) as a way of dragging NATO into the war directly? Let us hope not.
So despite the relatively young age of the defendant, despite the fact that the judge decided not to ask for any pre-sentence reports, and despite the fact that the defendant pleaded guilty, the judge in his wisdom decided to inflict upon the defendant an immediate custodial sentence of no less than 3 years (plus that mean little extra two months). Purely political, emanating from “two-tier Keir”, his recent poundshop-dictatorship speech, and his pathetic “Lord Chancellor” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabana_Mahmood#Early_life_and_career].
I know nothing about the case or the defendant but, in view of the harsh sentence, frankly my feeling is that he might as well have pleaded not guilty and gone for jury trial. He might have struck lucky.
It occurs to me that the present wave of repression in the UK has, as its psychological foundation, the way in which a medically-camouflaged police state structure of law and regulation was set up during 2020-2021; the years of the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic. The System was interested to see how craven most people were, meekly giving in to the demand to “wear a mask!” (in some places but not in others), “keep 2 metres apart!” (in some places) and all the other nonsense, such as the crazy and arbitrary “Rule of 6” made up by stupid poseur “Boris” Johnson. All that and, even more Draconian, the “lockdown(s)”.
We saw during the “panicdemic” how the courts at first went along with all the nonsense, though sense generally prevailed later on. As for the police, their behaviour during the “Covid” scam was nothing short of absolutely disgusting. Now look— they are again acting as a poundland KGB or Stasi.
You must be joking…
“The media narrative that endowed the [defunct] English Defence League & right-wing figures with formidable organising resources was & remains the invention of the propaganda machine of the British Establishment.

– Frank Furedi Substack.“
Quite. The bottle-throwers and/or “Tommy Robinson” fans are just an amorphous mass, pointed in this or that direction by those behind the “controlled opposition”.
This can only end one way, but under the already -considerable repression in the UK, I cannot specify anything without having to endure —yet again— the boring nuisance of having to talk to police drones at my door (as has happened a number of times in the past decade), and must therefore hope that readers can read between the lines, as in all authoritarian/totalitarian states…
“Britain’s almost 60-year experiment in hate-speech legislation is a warning to the world. We first introduced an offence of ‘inciting racial hatred’ in 1965, in the Race Relations Act. Fast forward to today and we now have laws against ‘incitement to religious hatred’, ‘grossly offensive’ online communications and a police force who routinely harass women for calling men men on the internet. Cops have also taken to quietly recording ‘non-crime hate incidents’ against citizens’ names, when the pesky law gets in the way of their authoritarianism.
The upshot of this is a scale of speech-policing that is surely unprecedented in our history. In 2017, an investigation by The Times found that nine people a day were being arrested for ‘posting allegedly offensive messages online’ – with 3,395 arrested in 2016 alone. Even then, that investigation was limited to one piece of legislation – the Communications Act – and the real number is almost certainly higher, not least because many police forces didn’t respond to the survey. Greg Lukianoff, president of America’s estimable Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, argues that, on the basis of those partial numbers alone, Britain is comfortably locking up more people today for speech crimes than America did during the first Red Scare.
When people think of hate-speech laws they probably imagine some vicious fascist, being dawn-raided for airing toxic, ancient hatreds. There’s still a bit of that. But as those racist rioters remind us, while they are mercifully small in number, censoring racists doesn’t make racists go away – it just forces them to spew their bile out of sight, at the fringes and in fetid echo chambers, where they can’t be clocked or challenged. What’s more, there are many supposed speech criminals who – while offensive to some – are hardly dangerous bigots. There’s Count Dankula, the YouTuber who was convicted in Scotland for making a ‘grossly offensive’ comedy video in which he taught his pug to do a Nazi salute. Feminist Kate Scottow was convicted of causing ‘needless anxiety’ via persistent ‘misgendering’ – thankfully, that one was overturned. Christian street preachers are often arrested by the police for airing their predictably less-than-liberal views on homosexuality and transgenderism. This has been going on for decades now. Indeed, it’s been almost 20 years since Sam Brown, a student at Oxford University, was famously arrested for calling a police horse gay.
More alarmingly, the British state is increasingly taking an interest in things people say in private. There have been a few cases now in which people in England have been convicted for racist posts made in private WhatsApp groups. In Scotland, the great, sinister innovation of Humza Yousaf’s Hate Crime Act is that it forgoes the usual dwelling defence – a feature of existing hate-speech legislation that prohibits arrest over speech uttered in your own home. Now, any Scottish dinner-table chat could be a crime scene.
Certainly, incitement to violence, true threats and so on are crimes in every civilised society – even in America, where the First Amendment renders any censorship of speech and the press unconstitutional. But ‘incitement to hatred’ and ‘grossly offensive’ speech are different things entirely. One man’s hatred is another man’s passionately held moral conviction. Offence is always in the eye of the beholder. We all think we know hate or offence when we see it, but at the end of the day everyone will draw the line slightly differently. You’re then left with someone having to decide, and nowadays that means someone like Keir Starmer – a man who until about five minutes ago thought it is ‘not right’ to say that only women can have a cervix.“
[Spiked magazine]
Part of all that is also to do with the numbers of people now in the UK who are actually either foreign and born overseas, or foreign, born of foreign parents, but in the UK.
Such people are now often to be found in public sector jobs, having acquired a degree from one of Britain’s new “universities” (with their ingrained “antifascist”-type bias). Police, probation people, civil servants, lawyers, academics, MPs, “journalists” (ill-informed scribblers), TV talking heads etc.
They are the foot-soldiers of the “woke” police state, and have no centuries of freedom of expression, or the struggles for that, to look back upon. They just have no inbred respect for free speech.
Sadly, their numbers now include English/British people as well, many of whom are entirely ignorant of English history, let alone world history, and have no respect for, or even understanding of, freedom of expression, free speech.
Another step on the UK’s road to perdition. Already, almost any criticism or even observation made about Jews, or Jewish behaviour, is likely to be treated as some kind of “hate speech”, either by police and CPS drones, or by the self-appointed defenders of Jewish/Zionist “entitlement”, such as the malicious and so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”].
Already, the laws of the UK are such that almost any leading historical thinkers such as Jesus Christ, St. Paul, Luther, Marx, Nietzsche etc would be prosecuted were they alive and living in contemporary Britain.

“Let me get this straight: Keir Starmer is releasing violent criminals from prison just to replace them with people who commit thought crimes on @X. And he is spending police resources investigating and going after people for retweets and Facebook posts when there is a shitload of violent crime all over Britain.“
There is an historical precedent of sorts for what Starmer etc are doing.
In Stalin’s day, the Soviet criminal legal system regarded ordinary, i.e. real, criminals as “class allies“. They got far more lenient sentences for their crimes of acquisition or violence than either the so-called “former people” (aristocrats and the middle classes), i.e. “class enemies“, usually sentenced for what they were, rather than what they had done, or the political prisoners, the most harshly-treated of all, who were regarded as terrorists, saboteurs, or simple traitors, even if they had done nothing but write a socio-political critique, or even a poem.
“Counter-offensive against Russia” – Zelensky’s most risky decision, which has been secretly planned for months, Kiev is taking risks with the army and technology, according to The Times of London, citing sources
Main points from the article citing high sources in Kyiv:
Zelensky pressured the military leadership to start an offensive for months in complete secrecy.
In Kiev, they want to change the narrative that Ukraine is losing the war.
Ukraine would attack Russia even without Western permission.
This is the most risky decision since the beginning of the war, because Moscow will do everything to regain the territories.
The forces allocated for this operation range from 6,000 to 10,000 soldiers (probably more in reality).
The military leadership is ready to risk soldiers and expensive equipment in order to achieve something in this direction.“
As blogged previously, this operation is a propaganda/public relations exercise.
The Kiev regime has no military objective in sight, unless it is to reach Kursk, 77 miles from Sudzha where the front-line seems to be at present.
In the unlikely event that the Kiev-regime forces reach and take Sudzha, and then move up the good-quality 2-lane highway to Kursk, all that will happen will be that those forces will be encircled and destroyed by air as well as armour.
The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers, even recently recruited (pressed into service) ones. It also has no logistics capability to sustain a deep thrust into Russian territory. Russian air power must be all but unchallenged in the Kursk region.
Still there you are. If you allow a sleazy, corrupt, Jewish former TV comedian to pose as President of Ukraine, expect disasters…

Incidentally, many will know of that Basu bastard (now only a former policeman), who is sometimes quoted on TV or in the lying Press as an “expert” on “extremism”, “terrorism” etc, and who, risibly, was apparently the UK’s chief of (police) counter-intelligence. He is often spouting nonsense about how almost everything “far right” etc must be repressed. Another supporter of the upcoming (unless stopped) multikulti “woke” police state.

If the courts and general legal and justice system are not exercizing their proper independence, but are simply obeying the purported diktats of “two-tier Keir” and that bureaucrat-drone who seems to be the new Director of Public Prosecutions, then the courts themselves have no legitimacy.

“Two-tier Keir” Starmer is certainly confirming my view of him prior to the recent General Election, ie that he is akin to what Khrushchev said about Malenkov in his memoirs, “a file clerk type; people like that are dangerous if given power.“
I had to look up “Lauren” Edwards. Apparently a “trans” person, though Wikipedia does not mention it. Australian.

MP for Rochester and Strood.
Apparently, “she” also referred to some people as “Estonian retards“. It’s OK, though, because they were not black or brown… #TwoTierKeir.

The Labour Friends of Israel should watch that.
“Former Israeli Military Intelligence Chief: We Are In A War Of Attrition
Amos Yadlin, the former head of the Israeli regime’s military intelligence directorate, said that Israel will find itself embroiled in a long war of attrition, Israel will continue to have its ruined economy, and our standing in the world will fall to a lower level.“
[in fact, Amos Yadlin, not “Yadin“; a natural mistake for a native Russian-speaker to make]

[Update, 10 August 2024: looks as though the spelling of the name was corrected; co-incidence, or do the “Sprinter Family” read my blog?].
According to the malicious Jewish-Zionist organization, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which (as I said during my free speech trial last November) is effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, somewhere around 94% of the Jews in the UK consider themselves Zionists, and the vast majority of them support the Israeli attacks on Gaza. Thus says the “CAA” itself.

Tel Aviv might be like that in 5, 10 or however many years. Maybe only a couple of years.
“I can’t stomach these MPs gloating about incredibly young men being locked” up for years
These are lads who feel utterly powerless and disenfranchised, raised in a system that’s taught them they have nothing and can never accumulate anything.
During the Black Lives Matter protests, left-wing commentators argued that protest, vandalism, and even violence were necessary to highlight injustice. I disagreed then, and I do now, but where are those voices today?
There IS an obvious injustice: the British working class has been maligned, slandered, ignored, fobbed off, and lied to for a generation. They can’t buy a house, their kids are in overcrowded classrooms, and they watch as illegal migrants get private accommodation for free. How is that not something to be angry about?
Our political class prioritizes everyone else’s interests over theirs. These politicians are clueless about the real struggles these young men face.
Abandoned, left to fend for themselves, and when they finally lash out, we throw away the key. It’s disgraceful. Instead of addressing the root causes of their anger, they fan the flames, and believe me, they’re not alone in their fury.“

This is the MP in question, gloating about a young man of 20 sent to prison: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Johnson.
Wouldn’t you just know it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Johnson#Israel
Looking at Diana Johnson’s biographical details for the first time, I notice that she was a salaried barrister 1999-2005 at Paddington Law Centre (West London), where I myself did about half a dozen (unpaid) evening sessions in 1993. I lived only a couple of miles away at the time, in Little Venice.
David Morgan is a brave young man and deserves support.
While I have no idea who the “Secret Barrister” is, I think that I can probably guess his, or her, (((provenance))…
