Well, 6/10 this week, trumping the 2/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, and 8.
The Jewish-Zionist plot to bring down Corbyn
Starmer is just a piece of cardboard which is moved from place to place but there was intentionality from the donors behind him: destroy the popular left and make Labour into a new, "responsible" Tory party. 2024 Labour voters were conned just as members were conned in 2020.
The website Declassified UK has published a review of a book on the anti-Corbyn campaign, headlined “Morgan McSweeney’s ‘plot without precedent in Labour history’— A new book chronicles how Labour strategist Morgan McSweeney used ‘any means necessary’ to destroy Corbyn as leader and install Starmer.”
As one would expect, the book and the review both term the anti-Corbyn plotters “the Right“, rather than “Jews” or “Jew-Zionists”; and they use the now so-outdated “Right/Left” descriptors.
In fact, the plot to topple Corbyn was plainly one planned and funded by pro-Israeli, and probably actual Israeli, sources at root, though carried out by Zionists or pro-Zionists not all of which were Jews (though many were).
I followed Corbyn’s progress on the blog almost from when the blog started in late 2016; certainly from 2017. It was clear to me that there was a basically Jewish —and almost certainly also Israeli— conspiracy to topple him.
Not that I much favoured Corbyn, a relatively uneducated man with simplistic socialist policy viewpoints. Also, while being anti-Israeli, Corbyn always gave lip-service to some of the Zionist propaganda regulars, such as the WW2 “holocaust” narrative. He was not ruthless enough to crush his enemies.
Still, Corbyn was at least a recognizable and relatively decent English type. Starmer (“Starmer-stein”) has no decency and is just a careerist drone, out for what he can get, as witness his grabbing whatever freebies, expenses-paid items, holiday trips etc he and his Jewish wife can grab. Also, of course, his directionless travel on policy.
The fake-Labour “welfare” cuts, the cheating of the pensioners, unemployed, sick, disabled etc. The U-turn on the “trans” nonsense, too. On the one hand on his knees (literally, with Angela Rayner) before the black mobs of “Black Lives Matter”, but then playing the poundshop Stalin when English people got angry at the migration-invasion.
The website post is worth reading, but cannot be linked to, it seems.

I wonder. I am minded to think that, even if a temporary peace is agreed soon, it will not last. Russia must take and retain all of the territory east of the Dnieper.

Balashikha is, inter alia, a kind of colony for high-ranking Russian military people, situated east of Moscow, and a kind of outer suburb.
The Kiev regime seems to be able to hit individuals in Russia quite efficiently. It is an open question whether the Kiev-regime secret services have, or have had, the help of the CIA and/or MOSSAD to do that. Not the CIA any more, I should have thought.
Of course, such assassinations, while high-profile, do not change the fact that, on the ground in Ukraine, Russian forces continue to advance steadily on all relevant sectors of the front.

Outrageous. The British state is now taking away even more homes for hardworking, tax-paying Britons and instead giving them to illegal immigrants who break our laws. These people should be deported -not put in private housing at the taxpayers’ expense https://t.co/aUiyZsVaub
As I predicted long ago on the blog. I said that Starmer-stein would try to “solve” the “small boats” migration-invasion by “processing” claims (rubberstamping them) swiftly, possibly overseas, thus magically turning illegal immigrants into legal ones, then emptying the asylum hotels by gifting the invaders council housing or State-paid private rental housing that should be going to British people.
This is happening all over Britain —“HMOs” (Houses for multiple occupancy) being pushed into communities across Britain despite nobody wanting them
I hope that the voters of Runcorn and Helsby send a firm message —by voting Reform— to Starmer-stein at the by-election next Thursday.
It is if we are ignoring the Tories have been doing the same for a year(s). SERCO contracts are not new to the PRS. Neither are false promises to stop the boats.
"Bureaucrats are rewiring the NHS around an extreme ideology that judges people on the colour of their skin and discriminates against whites."https://t.co/4CCyzi5Lqv
On those figures, Reform would have well over 250 MPs, Labour fewer than 190, and the Cons only 75. The Cons might then be the third-largest party in the Commons, but possibly only the fourth-largest. Terminal.

— Gas Lighting Services 🇷🇺 (@TauntonHeat) March 30, 2025
As I predicted during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic, Britain’s toytown police state, which had been developing slowly, embryonically, since the days of Blair, which grew (largely unnoticed) during the days of Cameron-Levita and Theresa May, and which hatched out during the “Covid” years of 2020-2022, has now started to behave like a real East German (DDR)-style police state.
When it comes to free speech, freedom of expression, even political freedom as formerly understood in this country, the police are now running out of control. This has been developing over about 25 years.
I happened, unusually, to be watching, this morning, I think on Sky, a political show hosted by Trevor Phillips. There was a panel of three scribblers/talking heads, and guests one by one, of which one was Yvette Cooper, Home Secretary (also, former expenses cheat, would-be dictator, moneygrubber, and member of Labour Friends of Israel).
Yvette Cooper did not even try to answer the concerns of the presenter about freedom, civil rights, “democracy” etc, just gave out a bland robotic, scripted response, in the old Blair-Brown way she learned back then (when not defrauding public funds).
In fact, the same was true when Yvette Cooper was asked about the Labour government of Starmer-stein and Rachel Reeves cutting off the benefit income of the sick, disabled etc. No real answer.
I hope that at least some of the voters of Runcorn and Helsby were watching. The by-election is set for 1 May 2025, the same date as the local elections. Voters, you know what to do. You have to vote Reform, even if you dislike Reform, or Farage, or the Reform candidate. Why? Because only a stunning win for Reform will send a message to the main System parties.
Only a dummy would vote fake Labour now. Even the “Con” governments of 2010-2024 did not go as far as the “Labour” (Friends of Israel) government is going, attacking people they think cannot hit back.
Of course, it would be stupid (especially at that upcoming by-election) to vote fake “Conservative” either. Not only because the Cons have no chance of winning at Runcorn and Helsby (only 16% in 2024) but because voting Reform increases the already-good chance of Labour losing.
Incidentally, unpleasant Helen Whately, the Shadow DWP Secretary, said in the Commons very recently that Labour’s callous and cruel attack on the sick and disabled did not go far enough! Surely the Conservative Party must be totally washed-up now.
Also incidentally, the panel on that show were all unimpressive, with one (Guto Harri) looking scruffy and unwashed.

From the horse’s mouth. If 2024 Conservative voters at Runcorn and Helsby want to stick it to Labour and Starmer-stein, then the only way to do that is to vote Reform. This could be the most important by-election of the decade.
In that by-election, a Con vote is a completely wasted vote, so either vote Reform, or stay home. Likewise, if 2024 Labour voters want to send a message to the present fake Labour-label regime under Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, and Liz Kendall, then the only way to do that is to vote Reform or, failing that, to stay home.
The fear that Rachel Reeves is putting on disabled people and those that already suffer from conditions is horrific. I would never have voted Labour at the last election if I had known about their disgusting plans. They are no better than the Tories.
It only takes one individual to stand up, step up, and send a message that will never be forgotten.

The more that I think about the upcoming Runcorn and Helsby by-election, the more I think that Reform are going to smash it.
No matter that I could imagine Reform with a better candidate (someone such as Matt Goodwin), though the Reform candidate seems voter-acceptable, anyway. The important thing, surely, is the hatred so many people now feel for the main System parties and even more —because of the feeling of betrayal— from Labour (in fact much more than for the Conservatives who, despite their appalling record 2010-2024, are now seen as near-irrelevant, finished, washed-up).
That’s before you even factor-in the fact that the Conservative Party is now led by a Nigerian woman who also seems totally clueless. Also, Kemi Badenoch’s thunder (on social security, tax, spending cuts etc) has been stolen by Labour. Labour is just a label now, and is even less social, let alone socialist, than the Conservative Party.
For me, it is telling that the Labour candidate for the by-election is trying to ape Reform, demanding the closure of hotels occupied by migrant-invaders etc. It is clear that Labour considers Reform to be its main rival, and not only at Runcorn and Helsby.
In the past nearly 9 months, the Labour “brand” has been totally trashed. The whole population, I should have thought, has turned away from Labour. Pensioners, the young, anyone receiving any State benefit at all, anyone anti-migration invasion, anyone with any genuine feeling for the English countryside, will not be voting Labour.
The petty corruption and sleaze of the Labour Cabinet may be dwarfed by the corruption of the past years of “Con Party” misgovernment, but the point, I think, is that people, especially in the North of England, somehow expected Labour to be somehow better.
The sheer “we are the masters now” arrogance and callousness exhibited by Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, Starmer-stein, and their lesser followers such as Torsten Bell, has disgusted millions.
People now, after only 9 months, see this Labour-label regime as being quite as bad, and in fact worse in every way, than those of 14 years of Conservative misgovernment.
I do not think that Labour’s appalling handling of foreign affairs (by thick “diversity-hire” Lammy, as well as by Starmer-stein himself) will count for much at the by-election, either way, but people can surely see that Starmer has made a fool of himself by threatening to send (almost non-existent) troops to Ukraine etc. That is so even for people who support the Kiev regime.
I think that important factors at the by-election will include the continuing migration-invasion, the petty sleaze and corruption of Labour’s top echelon, the hypocrisy of the same, the sense of Britain as a country sliding to chaos and even civil war (albeit not this year), the behaviour of the former Labour MP, the wish to give Labour a real kick and, perhaps most important, the sense of total betrayal by Labour.
At present, both polling orgs and bookmakers predict a modest or narrow win for Reform.
I may be wrong, but I think we could be looking at a huge win by Reform. A win in the region of as much as 50% or even 60% of the vote-share. Labour? Maybe 20%-30%. Cons? 10% or below; maybe even a lost deposit.
This might turn out to be a very significant by-election result. If Reform can win it, the win might pave the way for dozens of others in this Parliament.

By my use of Electoral Calculus, that might translate to Lab 476 Commons seats (overall majority 302), Con 68 (official Opposition), LibDems 62, SNP 13, Reform UK 4, Plaid Cymru 4, Greens 2 (Northern Ireland 18, Others 3).
What kind of “democracy” is it, though, when a party (Labour) might get 39% of the popular vote, yet get about 72% of the seats in the House of Commons (476 seats)? A strict 39% of seats would be 253 seats.
Another party (Conservatives) might get 19% of the popular vote, meaning, on strict mathematical equivalence, about 124 seats, not the mere 68 conferred by FPTP voting.
As for Reform UK, its present or forecast 17% should confer (under proportional voting) about 111 seats. The forecast under FPTP voting— a mere 4.
There again, the LibDems, with only 10% of the popular vote, are forecast to have 62 seats, almost the same as under a strict proportional allocation (65).
Can such an electoral system even be called “democratic”? Open question.

By my use of Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], that actually puts the Cons in a marginally better position than other recent polls, by reason of the slip in Labour’s position, but it still means Lab 466 (overall majority 282), Con 70, LibDem 70, Reform UK 4, Greens 2.

Labour is as dull as ditchwater, as witness its pathetic Manifesto for the General Election, but I do not think that it much matters now. The main aim of 80%+, maybe even 90%, of the electorate is to get rid of the Conservative Party not just for the next 5 years but permanently. Starmer and fake Labour will only fail to sweep all before them —by default— if something so devastating happens to their campaign that it is hard to imagine what.

As to the renewed attack on disability benefits, desperate clutching at straws by a government trying to appeal to people who know nothing, read the Sun, Star etc, and who might be persuaded to vote Conservative as a result of all this kefuffle.
I doubt whether it will work. People in all sorts of conditions of life want rid of this government and its venal, ignorant MPs, and are just waiting for the opportunity to put their “X” in any box but the one marked “Conservative Party”.
This contrived storm around disability benefits is also designed to deflect attention from the renewed slaughter in Gaza.
While there is a section of the UK electorate easily fooled by rhetoric against State benefits generally, those voters are mainly those already intending to vote Con at GE 2024; probably already within the Con “core vote” bloc which is about 20% of the entire electorate. That 20% can probably be characterized broadly as “over 65, retired, owner-occupiers, living in Southern England”.
Using the Electoral Calculus website, the most recent opinion polling indicates that, after GE 2024, the number of Con Party MPs might well be below 50. This contrived storm is a desperate attempt to seize back the initiative; I doubt that it will work.
Disabled people have already got the rough end of the stick when it comes to day-to-day living

Huge numbers of people (in my opinion, far greater than the number who favour Labour-label) want to stamp on and wipe out the “Conservative” Party. I am one of them.
Only 14% of Brits want the Tories to win the looming general election while a larger number want them to "completely disappear"https://t.co/JhQen5sO9l
If only 14% of the voters were actually to vote that way at GE 2024 (with Labour on a notional 45%, LibDems 10%, Reform UK 15% and Greens 7%), the result would be the Cons left with just 7 MPs! (Labour 541, LibDems 53, SNP 26, Greens 2). https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Interesting. I think that those figures need nuance here and there, though: for example, the supposed “Serbians” in Germany may well really be not Serbs but Gypsies from Serbia. The same goes for supposed “Romanians” in that table.
BREAKING: Israel is now dropping bombs on Palestinian civilians hiding in tents in Rafah, the last place of shelter in Gaza.
Read that again: Families seeking refuge in tents are under attack.

I believe that military people refer to such methods (boobytrapping cans of food etc with explosives or poison) as “technical attack”.
When dealing with such as the IRA in the 1970s, or the ZANLA terrorists in the Rhodesia of the same period, it might have been justified (in rural areas where arms dumps or support stores were found), but surely not when applied as a form of terrorism on an urbanized civilian population.
We’ve spent months warning that Israel is bombing areas it told Palestinians were “safe.” Unfortunately, it takes an investigation by mainstream US outlets to legitimize the truth.
The coming months/years will see countless investigations that confirm what we’ve known all along. pic.twitter.com/bj745b42pH
I have seen the usual Jew-Zionist lawyers arguing narrow legalistic points about whether what the Israeli Jews are doing in Palestine and particularly in Gaza is “genocide” or not. The reality is that this is at least a quasi-genocide. If it falls slightly short of a fully-delineated, legally-rubberstamped “genocide”, that is really only of academic interest.
Incidentally, Jews wanted to destroy the German people in the 1940s. That was why the atomic scientists, almost all of whom were Jews, developed the first atom bomb. They did so despite there having been a small theoretical possibility that the first full test would set alight Earth’s atmosphere and destroy all life on Earth.
The atom bombs were designed to be dropped on Berlin and other German cities, not Japanese ones. Those working on them were willing to accept that much of Central Europe might be devastated and irradiated.
Ironically, the terrible and devastating defeat of the German Reich in the Spring of 1945 saved Germany and much of Central Europe generally from atomic devastation.
Yes, he did. I once knew a woman in the private security industry, and she told me (about 5 years after the event) that people directly involved in the case had told her that Madeley certainly did it. Hearsay twice over, admittedly, but plausible all the same.
(I should add that, actually, Madeley never denied having taken the Champagne; he denied that he had any dishonest intent).
There are many cases where a famous person, famous as an individual or because a member of a famous family, has been acquitted in circumstances where a not-famous person would have been convicted. One, remembered from my time in the USA was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kennedy_Smith. Guilty, in my opinion. but acquitted.

[“that which the Israelis are doing is ethnic cleansing”]
Anyone who supports Israeli war crimes, or the Jewish-Zionist lobby in the West, should be ashamed. That especially applies to those in official positions at all levels.

“So we are now in a different situation. We’re looking at Ukraine. Russia, in the last two and a half years has built up an enormously powerful and successful force. This is battle hardened, well-equipped, well-led, well-trained, highly disciplined.
The Ukrainian force has been annihilated. They’ve lost over 600,000 dead on the battlefield. There’s nothing left. The place is falling apart. And most of the money you were talking about will never get there. It’s simply sent through the washing machine over to defense and then to the defense industries, and then the donations flow back to the hill. So it doesn’t, you know, it’s not a question that we’re sending 60 billion and putting it into Zelensky’s hands now.
Now Zelensky and his friends will profit, no doubt about it. Let’s not kid ourselves. They’ll get some of it. How much? Who knows? I mean, this is the most corrupt country in the world. This is a country that has missing children, probably at this point in the hundreds of thousands. Prostitution, out of control. I mean, you’re talking about criminality on a scale that we in the west can’t even begin to imagine. It’s a tragedy. It’s the worst of all possible outcomes. The Ukrainian nation has been destroyed. Why? Because it’s mortgaged to our vanity.
In the west, Russia must be taught a lesson. Russia must be destroyed. Putin must be removed. Really? Why? Well, because we’ve decided that we want to strip Russia of its resources. So we turned Ukraine into a battering ram designed to stab Russia in the heart. The Russians woke up, not completely, but at the last minute, and decided, well, we probably should intervene here and stop what’s happening and signal just how serious this is, in our estimation. So they did, and they found out it’s much worse than we thought.
The force is much larger, much better trained. It has much more equipment. This is a far more serious problem. And as a result, they had to step back, establish a defense, build up their forces, and now they’re moving, and they’re going to finish the job.
Finish the job means everything from Odessa up to Kharkov is back in Russian hands. And those areas are originally Russian anyway, as has been pointed out. Your question is, what happens to the rest of the country that is west of the Dnieper River, this rump, Ukraine, and I think it’s going to become a giant demilitarized zone, a DMZ, similar to what we have between north and South Korea. There will be nothing there. There won’t be any fighting forces of any kind. And the Ukrainians can live there. And they may have some form of administration, but they’re not going to be permitted to ever again present a direct threat to Russia.
You pointed to the CIA stations and laboratories inside Ukraine. The Russians have overrun those. They know what’s there. They know what we’ve been trying to do. They know that we’ve been experimenting biologically with various weapons that could be used against them. This is insanity. And it was never necessary.
No one in the United States supported that. No one in the United States was consulted. So what do they do? They lie. They create a narrative. Russia is a revanchist nation. Russia is the Soviet Union reborn. We must stop it and defend democracy. That’s all crap. That’s nothing to do with any of it. And of course, Kiev is not a democratic state. Zelensky is not a democratic leader. He makes Stalin look good. So he’s going to go out of business. He’s going to vanish here over the next 30 to 60 days.
Whether he succumbs to whatever the Ukrainians decide to do with him on the ground, I don’t know. I’m sure that his foreign mercenaries that are surrounding him, special ops types from the United States and Britain and other countries, will do everything they can to keep him alive. But at some point, even they may abandon him. But the narrative persists because the media is an arm of the government.
This is very similar to what Noam Chomsky wrote about during Vietnam. Manufactured consent creates the illusion that this is something we all want. No, we didn’t want it. We didn’t ask anybody to open the borders. We did not ask for millions of people that we don’t know and know nothing about to come into the United States. And what do we do with millions of people who can’t find work? Especially if we go into the serious financial crisis that every sane person on the planet is predicting is coming.
What else can we say? I wish I could paint a positive picture.“
[Colonel Douglas MacGregor].
I agree with most of that. The Colonel has repeated pretty much what I have said on the blog, for 2 years, should happen.
