What’s “their” excuse this time?

The Wall Street Journal, citing an informed source: The US intelligence community doubts Israel’s ability to destroy Hamas. Israeli attacks may damage Hamas and its structure, but cannot destroy its ideology and thinking.

A congressional official said: “The most realistic goal is to buy Israel’s security for a few years, but not forever”.

The material advantages that the Israeli Jews have (compared to those of the population in Gaza) are always very evident. For example, advanced medical services.

A Ukrainian Armed Forces fighter asks Russia to stop the fighting so that their military could go to Kiev to overthrow the government. The military man (on the photo) says that deputies in the Verkhovna Rada, when Russia wins, will board their helicopters and fly abroad with the stolen millions with impunity.

Therefore, he calls on the Ukrainian and Russian military to stop the fighting so that they, the Ukrainian military, can overthrow the Verkhovna Rada, which contains only thieves and pidarases (fucking fagots-gays). He calls for the property of thieving deputies to be taken away, sold off and the money returned to the budget of Ukraine.

As for these scoundrels from Verkhovna Rada, he wants to put them not even in jail but in a common hole. The military man says: “They will ban me again, they will come after me to talk to me again, but I have a gun. Come! What am I doing wrong? I am telling the truth!”

He says that Ukraine itself does not produce anything for military needs, there is not a single bullets factory, and they are sent for slaughter, into a meat grinder. At the same time, funding for the military is zero, payments to military wounded are zero, he himself waited for 6 months after being wounded for an investigation to prove that he was wounded by a mine in battle, and did not just go out into the field for a walk.

“Fuck, we are holding on just only thanks to support of the volunteers!” he says. His interlocutor says, “The most interesting thing is that you are holding on, but I don’t understand for what? Where Russia comes, pensions are higher, gasoline is cheaper, everything is being built, and men can easily travel abroad. But in Ukraine there is nothing, and they don’t let men out.”

“This is the most offensive thing! Previously, I still doubted it, but now I see how the state treats us, the military. And I hate my state. I have a question for all the military: what did our state give you when you returned home? What?

Without the white man, Africa inevitably descends into primeval savagery sooner or later. The white population of South Africa was once nearly a quarter of the whole, and even in 1985 about 17%. Now, as standards continue to deteriorate under black rule, that has dwindled to 7%. The actual black population, which was 65%-70% throughout much of the 20thC, is now well over 80% of the whole.

Is that true? There are certainly quite a few people around who pose as former members of various regiments, usually the perceivedly more glamorous ones, particularly SAS. I seem to recall that a couple of Daily Telegraph journalists (genuine ex-soldiers) did a report about 25+ years ago on such people. Some had marched at the 11 November march of that year, complete with bought medals and all.

One of those reporters was Christian Jennings, who wrote a memoir called Mouthful of Rocks about his time in the Foreign Legion: https://www.publishersweekly.com/9780871133403. See also: https://www.andrewlownie.co.uk/authors/christian-jennings.

There is a more subtle kind of pseudo-military pretence, in which people who have served pretend to have been something more prestigious, as where soldiers attached or formerly-attached to the SAS in a support capacity let others think that their service was more “sharp end” than it was.

It’s silly, really. After all, a regiment, or an army, is a collective endeavour in which all parts play a role. As Napoleon said, “an army marches on its stomach“, and something as basic as catering is hugely important in keeping up morale.

Come to that, an army could not exist without civilian support. Not for long, anyway.

Volksgemeinschaft.

The Israeli Jews should coin a new medal, something such as Hospital Bombing Campaign Medal…

The UK’s junior doctors might take a leaf or two from that book.

Merry Christmas to my blog readers (and to the pagans among you, “Merry Wolfmoon”! I hope that I got that right…)

Farage: did he stab his own candidates in the back for a knighthood?

My reading of Farage is that he would prefer a million or two stashed in BVI or Panamanian accounts to an official honour of that sort, but who knows (either way…)?

Interesting article on falling life expectancy in the UK

Austerity in the UK was a political choice made in the summer of 2010. Its effects have been devastating.”

“The UK has reduced public spending to 36% of GDP by the end of 2019 from a peak of 41% in 2006. Today, rates of public spending in the UK as a whole are only a fraction above those of the US. Almost every other country in the EU spends more on its public services than the UK does; almost every other country in Europe now has a lower infant mortality than the UK.” [The Correspondent]

The people in the report below may not have thought through their plans as well as they imagine but are not completely misguided either:

CPS charge re. cat deaths:

A man has been accused of attacking 16 cats, nine of which were killed over the space of eight months in Brighton.

Sussex police charged Steven Bouquet, 52, a security guard, with 16 counts of criminal damage relating to the wounding or killing of 16 cats between between 2 October 2018 and 1 June 2019.

The charges are part of Operation Diverge, the force’s investigation into a number of cat deaths in the city of Brighton and Hove.

Bouquet, who was also charged with possessing a knife in a public place, is due to appear at Brighton magistrates court on 23 January.

The South East district crown prosecutor, Sally Lakin, said: “Following a spate of attacks on cats in the Brighton area, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has authorised Sussex police to charge Steven Bouquet with 16 charges of criminal damage, relating to attacks on 16 cats, nine of which were killed and seven were seriously injured.

“The allegations relate to incidents which took place between 2 October 2018 and 1 June 2019. This is a complex case and this decision was made following a careful review of all of the evidence presented to us.”

The CPS said it had carefully considered which charges would be most appropriate in the case and concluded the defendant should be charged with criminal damage.

“This does not in any way detract from the seriousness of the offence or the great distress these incidents will have caused the owners of the cats,” the CPS said. “However, under current legislation, cats and other animals are deemed as property.”

The charge of animal cruelty was thought inappropriate as the defendant was not the owner of the cats. It would also attract a lesser sentence than criminal damage.” [Guardian]

Not a very Christmas-y story, but one which deserves to be reported more widely (and no comment from me, the trial process not having even started, let alone concluded).
