Hundreds of thousands of non-whites, mostly parasitic or criminal, and 90% or more of which are useless whichever way you look at it, are entering the UK every year. At the same time, a smaller but still considerable number of real English/British people are leaving. The “net migration” figure may be officially 171,000 (which is still enormous) but what it really means is that a couple of hundred thousand real Brits left, and half a million blacks, browns, Chinese etc flooded in.
Thoughts out of season
It may be that the salvation of our civilization lies not in its preservation, or its preservation as it is, but rather in its transformation into something totally different. A burial and then a resurrection or, to put it another way, a burial and then the germination of a seed of the future.

That type of fake “libertarian” bs and money-worship needs to be stamped into the ground.
I think the Makerfield by-election is going to give us a pretty good indicator of just how awake or asleep the native general population is to the ethnic replacement issue. That will indicate the gradient of the hill we are climbing.
The reason that mass immigration is so important is that the migration issue impacts all other issues of importance: housing, taxation, education, pensions, crime, road congestion, crowded railways, and the NHS; even water shortages and energy security.

[“The jewish Marks, Sieff and Sacher Families (Marks & Spencer Dynasty) were the primary architects of the economic and institutional pro-‘israel’ network in the UK.
After they ousted the son of English co-founder Thomas Spencer from the company, they used their wealth to fund ‘israel’s’ development and the IOF.
They were tightly interwoven through marriage: Israel Sieff and Harry Sacher married the sisters of Simon Marks—son of M&S co-founder and Polish immigrant Michael Marks—Rebecca and Miriam, respectively. Together, they formed the core of the ‘Manchester School of Zionism’ and:
Acted as the primary handlers and aides to Chaim Weizmann, the Russian jew who went on to become ‘israel’s’ first president.
Built the political machinery that lobbied the British War Cabinet, directly resulting in the 1917 Balfour Declaration.
Created a London headquarters at Great Russell Street, noted by historians as the physical ‘heart of the UK’s pro-‘israel’ lobby’.
After the Nakba in 1948, they systematically worked to repair the diplomatic damage left by the jewish terror on Britain during the Palestine Mandate by leveraging the immense economic clout of Marks & Spencer.
Michael Sacher became the primary financial force behind the creation of early political briefing groups. He bankrolled the British ‘israel’ Public Affairs Committee (BIPAC), which directly laid the logistical and structural foundation for what would become the Conservative Friends of ‘israel’ (CFI) in 1974.
M&S built ‘israel’s’ modern textile and agricultural industries through exclusive massive supply contracts with ‘israeli’ firms like Delta Galil. This injected hundreds of millions of vital foreign currency effectively making the British high street a major financial pillar of early ‘israeli’ entity survival.
Former M&S corporate spokespersons have said ‘We have a history and a background with “israel” that we are very proud of’.
M&S executives direct personal connections to ‘israel’:
Simon Marks (Lord Marks) was a close lifelong friend of Chaim Weizmann. During World War I, the British military officially detached Marks to direct Weizmann’s London headquarters, effectively allowing him to run early zionist political operations alongside his growing corporate empire.
In 1948, ‘israel’s’ first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, personally requested Lord Marcus Sieff (the future chairman of M&S) to help defend the new entity. Sieff temporarily joined the IOF, advising the ‘israeli’ Ministry of Defence on logistics, transportation, and supplies. He openly coordinated M&S goods and corporate finances to bolster the colony during its early aggressions on Palestinians and surrounding countries.
In his 1990 book, Management: The Marks and Spencer Way, Sieff explicitly wrote that one of the fundamental corporate objectives of M&S was to ‘aid the economic development of “israel”.’
They used their wealth to build the settler colony and to influence British politicians to forget the massacres of the British troops and civilians by jewish terrorist groups and become pro-‘israel’.“]
Of course, that may not reflect the present position of Marks and Spencer. Blue chip companies of that sort are now often owned, beneficially, more by impersonal capital-blocs such as pension funds.
The RAF should not be “poking the Bear” at all, and certainly not in the Black Sea region, which has nothing at all to do with British interests. Let the brutal, shambolic, and corrupt Jew-Zionist regime in Ukraine fight its own war…if it can.

The rest of that thread is unintentionally funny: some Labourite cretin fantasizing about how much better this fake-Labour government would have been had either Liz Kendall (WHAT?!) or (Jesus H. Christ!) Gloria de Piero had become Labour leader! The latter, incidentally, was the useless and brainless TV presenter who became a “Labour-lite” MP in 2010, stepped down as MP in 2019 (knowing she would not be re-elected) and is now, thankfully, all but forgotten.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_De_Piero].
The same person who told everyone to give Starmer a chance!
I do not know much about Rod Stewart, but I get the impression that he is someone who does like to give someone a chance. Starmer-stein has had his chance, and continues to do things that make him and Labour either hated or held in contempt, or both.
Needless to say, for me, Reform UK is underwhelming, not really “national”, and is pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel, pro-finance-capitalism etc, BUT also the only game in town to crush the existing System party set-up that has been around for so long, certainly since the 1930s, and effectively since about 1900 if not prior to that date.
For me, it scarcely matters that Reform UK is itself basically a germinal System party, because its role is to chuck Labour and Conservative parties into the dustbin of history. After that, we shall see…
Nazi descendants promoted to leading posts in West purposefully — Russian Foreign Ministry. "The trend is obviously neo-Nazi," Maria Zakharova noted:https://t.co/LZOEOsr4S9pic.twitter.com/vwk3A9JAZs
Ha. If only! The Russians have rather painted themselves into a corner with the “Nazi” stuff. The fact is that the Kiev regime is basically Jew-Zionist, and allied to Israel. As for “Nazi descendants“, that presumably refers to the new British SIS Chief, Blaise Metreweli, who has both Georgian and Ukrainian antecedents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Metreweli.
There has been a trend in Russian propaganda in recent years of being rather silly, especially around the “neo-Nazi Ukraine” stuff, and so on. Also, the pro-Stalin and “Great Patriotic War” nostalgia stuff.
Maria Zakharova might educate herself a little were she to read more widely about the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. e.g. The World I left Behind (published in Russian as Niece of the General Secretary, Племянница Генсека) by Lyubov Brezhneva: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyubov_Brezhneva.
I need Russia to win the war with the Kiev regime, Russia has to win this war, appalling though it is, but it must drop the silliness of some of its propaganda (and also appoint better military and intelligence strategists).

It does not surprise me that Starmer-stein is morally corrupt, and the same goes for quite a few of his MPs (and the “Conservative” ones). What has slightly surprised me over several recent years (since about 2009, when I returned to live full-time in the UK) is how utterly clueless, totally ignorant, so many MPs are, including Cabinet ministers and, indeed, Prime Ministers (Starmer-stein, Liz Truss, Boris-idiot, Theresa May, Cameron-Levita, Sunak, even Gordon Brown).

Unsurprising. A party led by a Nigerian woman who is only here because her parents came to London for her birth (at that time, 1980, anyone born in the UK could later apply for a British passport). Kemi Badenoch is not really British at all. Until she was about 16-17, she had only been here for a day or two after her birth. She was brought up in Nigeria and then the USA. She is alien.
Apart from that, though, imagine a party (“Conservative” by name) which apparently intends to help Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, and Liz Kendall pass their social security/”welfare” cuts package, so cruel and unfeeling, and so unnecessary.
Huge amounts of money are wasted on all sorts of nonsense, such as the nuclear-weapons-carrying fighter-bombers the UK is apparently going to waste money buying from the USA. Do the cretins pretending to run this country really believe that Russia, as it now is, wants to invade Western Europe, even invade the UK? The idea is ludicrous.
Meanwhile, the only invasion that matters is continuing: 500-1,000 across the Channel most days now, with a further ~5,000 coming in “legally” as (supposedly) “high-skilled” workers (who never leave), spouses, fiancees, tourists (who never go back), “students” (who never go back) etc. Also, births to non-Europeans already here (about 1,600 births a day occur in the UK, of which the majority now are non-white). Call it a total of about 7,000. Every day…
It's hard to see what @Conservatives offer. They blew an 80 seat majority with a narcissistic roman orgy of back stabbing, Kemi failed to deliver the brexit red tape bonfire, they banned real cars, blew up power stations for PR stunts and had the highest taxes for decades.
People spend 13, often 16, sometimes as many as 20 years, in full-time education in this country, and most know FA. Truly radical change needed.

[“Israel’s plot to attack Iran hatched up to 15 years ago Israel had seeded target locations with “boots on the ground” long before June 13, an intelligence source told The Times.
The collected intel assisted Israel’s targeting of three nuclear sites in Tehran and Isfahan, including seven separate elements of the Natanz enrichment facility, and scores of other sites.
Israeli agents allegedly visited missile factories and workshops which Israel later targeted, including “the entire industry that supported” production of the conventional armaments.
Mossad possibly recruited “Iranian insiders,” the report hinted. Besides missile launches at Israel, a big component of Iran’s response to Israeli aggression has included hunting down Mossad agents, scores of whom have now been caught carrying improvised explosive devices, military-grade explosives, drones and even anti-tank missiles. Some agents have attempted suicide, while others engaged in dramatic, high-speed shootouts with police while attempting to get away.“]
As a John le Carre character reflected, intelligence work rests on patience and a kind of gentleness. Learn from the enemy and the potential enemy. Learn from history. MOSSAD, the KGB and GRU in their heyday, Chinese Intelligence, people such as Maurice Oldfield and Markus Wolf etc.
As for Israeli intelligence, remember what famous former MOSSAD operative Ostrovsky wrote, 36 years ago, i.e. that, in all countries where Jews exist, military and terror plans are in place, weapons and explosives secreted, to be used by selected Jews when the time comes. Look at the UK. Hundreds of young Jews go to Israel every year to be trained by the Israeli armed forces. They then return, most of them, to the UK, become journalists, editors, business parasites, City traders, whatever…but are also, some of them, agents or secret co-workers of MOSSAD, AMAN etc.

It is amazing, when one thinks of it, how much of that which we take for granted as the backdrop of our lives is actually relatively new in the world. After all, the American “Wild West” was in the 19th Century; the American Indian wars (effectively a genocide) around the 1870s. Only about 150 years ago.
Likewise, much of Africa, though partly known in outline to Europeans for hundreds of years, was only colonized and developed over the past 150 years or so, and some only over the past century or so.
Australia, as a European colonized development, only goes back a couple of hundred years or so. As for Antarctica, its very existence was unknown until a Russian ship spotted it in, I think, 1808.
Radio— as a mass product, in the past century; TV— for most people, since the 1950s; Internet etc— for most people, since the mid-1990s, not even 30 years ago.
I personally do not have much confidence that our present form of civilization and/or society will last much longer.

The research, based on data from 6,000 workers, also found that 17 per cent of waiters are graduates, compared with 2 per cent three decades ago.
The same is true of 14 per cent of retail staff, 15 per cent of care workers and 24 per cent of security guards.

Not a new problem but one which has undoubtedly become worse over the years. I had a friend in the mid-1980s who told me that all of his colleagues in the Covent Garden branch of Oddbins (a wine —and other booze— chain, now pretty much washed-up) were graduates, as was he himself (in his case, from a leading dance institute).
My solution to both the general dumbing-down (which I noticed when in practice at the Bar, talking to or listening to younger barristers), and to the “Mickey Mouse degree” problem, would be as follows:
Firstly, the State must assess students based on a number of criteria. Those assessed as being in the top 10% to get full grants, both tuition and living; the next 20% to get grants, but at a lower level; the rest to get free tuition but no other help.
Secondly, more (free and/or indeed paid) vocational training for a number of jobs; successful completion to be regarded as degree-equivalent. Examples: medical careers, police, Army, many business-related fields. This was the case until quite recently even in what are now regarded as “degree-only” professions. For example, up to the late 1970s, it was possible to be Called to the Bar without a degree (by doing a 2-year, rather than 1-year, Bar Finals course). The same was true of the solicitors’ profession.
It would be short-sighted for the State only to fund the hard sciences, or quite strictly vocational degrees such as law or medicine, but there have to be priorities set, and if (as now) there is a near-emergency in relation to shortages of nurses and doctors, then that is one area that must surely be prioritized.
The whole educational field needs a reboot. Some parts of it, indeed, just need “the boot”.

Geez can we stop pretending public sector cuts are bc of Mini Budget. We borrowed £325 billion for Covid, at least another £60-100 billion for energy. Our debt, at £2.4 trillion, is highest for 60 yrs, nearly 100% of GDP. On both left & right politicians need to tell it straight.
Exactly so. The stupid, unnecessary and dictatorial “measures” taken during the “panicdemic” were what really shoved the UK into the economic mire.
Rishi Sunak becomes Britain's 57th Prime Minister. He inherits a divided party that is languising below 20% in the polls, a divided country in the midst of the most severe cost-of-living crisis for 50 years, & a divided Union that is cracking at the seams. A truly daunting inbox

A corollary is that all these fields have increasingly become provinces of the wealthy, because post-graduate education is expensive, and is now a gamble: it comes with no guarantee of a job in the relevant field.
(I think there was a golden age of literacy, between roughly 1850 and 1950 – the reading public was ever growing, and reading ever more, and serious writers could both emerge from and speak to this wide public.
There's nothing wrong with this, as a type of serious intellectual formation, but it's a problem if it's the 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 type of intellectual formation that can actually grant entry to the public sphere.
If we no longer have public thinkers sustained by a public readership, but rather only post-graduate-degree holders sustained by institutions, we have restricted intellectual respect to a class for whom deference to expertise and to authority are often second nature.
To be sure, there is cause for hope in the emergence, outside the approved public sphere, of a reasoned, multi-faceted and persisent Covid counter-narrative.
And I fear this pattern will repeat itself again and again, until the gap between blinkered expertise and addled ignorance is filled, or that gap leads to such ruination as to make the problem irrelevant.

There’s a staff shortage crisis in care homes. In England, there are 165,000 vacancies across this sector. So forcing out approximately 40,000 care home workers for deciding against a medical procedure was discriminatory and massively counterproductive. https://t.co/oJibPjdMQi
Absolutely disgusting. Those guilty of making the wrong decisions (eg Little Matt Hancock) were applauded at the time. The whole mess was also supported, overall, by Starmer-Labour, incidentally.

A framed narrative has been peddled around our political discourse that Liz Truss (a 45 day Prime Minister) somehow trashed the economy. In reality, the economy was trashed by months of lockdowns & £500bn of quantitative easing. The Chancellor at the time was Rishi Sunak. https://t.co/VncHDKGKlY

She now holds the record for the shortest serving Health Secretary in history.
That Therese Coffey is even an MP speaks volumes about how broken our political system now is.
As for the Indian money-juggler, if he is not careful, he may end his time as Prime Minister by being carried out of town on a rail, tarred and feathered.

Quite. You still see people (who seem to think themselves terribly clever) tweeting “freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences“, whereas, as “@RealBlackIrish” points out there, that is exactly what it means. The “freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences” formula would mean, in effect, that Stalin’s Russia, Mao’s China and present-day North Korea all had free speech.
There was (maybe still is) a mediocre law lecturer from East Anglia, one Paul Bernal (descended from the well-known part-Jew 20thC scientist, J.D. Bernal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Bernal), who used to regularly and unthinkingly tweet that formula.

One line that struck me was his assertion that 80% of American college students are unable to comprehend a news magazine. Not a treatise by Wittgenstein, not books such as Das Kapital or Mein Kampf, but a news magazine! He’s talking about superficial, easy-reading stuff such as Time or Newsweek, probably, not even the Economist or the magazine to which I subscribed when I lived in the USA in the early 1990s, U.S. News and World Report.
Note that Reich is speaking of American college students, i.e, people who have graduated from secondary education, and who are at universities or other tertiary institutions!
One is reminded of how the U.S. Army in WW2 used to supply its frontline troops with comic books…
In the UK, we tend to laugh at the Americans in that regard, but I am not so sure that many British people are much better these days.
When you think that British children and young people now attend school (unless homeschooled) for 13 years in most cases, ages 5-18, and yet the quality even of university graduates is so very poor…and, yes, I certainly do include many Oxbridge graduates.
A complete rethink is required. Open debate and open thinking. What is education? What is it for? How can it be organized or arranged for optimal results (and what are those results)?
At present, much of the State funding expended is spent basically to warehouse children while the parents are at work. Not good enough.
The old and accepted “degree” system also needs change. First degree, “master’s”, and then “doctorate”. Terms which are a legacy from the Middle Ages.

As soon as the State-sponsored “panicdemic” started, a vast number of loonies (like the woman in that clip) came out of the woodwork. The so-called “crisis” really weaponized such idiotic people and their mental problems and, for some, probably gave them a reason to exist, in their own little minds.
We have had 18 months of this nonsense now.
.@ProfKarolSikora was warning about this from day one of lockdown. I’m not medically qualified but could see this was the bleeding obvious.

The most important thing for our society to do, once it has “cleared the decks” of major problems, backward elements and impediments, is to —metaphorically and, perhaps, eventually, actually— “aim for the stars”.
For practical purposes, the human brain is infinite.
[for “is more”, read “are more”…]
Human beings are still at or near the start of their development. IQ tests are only a guide to the present intelligence of an individual or a people. The “average” is usually taken to be 100. A simplification, of course [see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient].
I believe that the high-IQ club, MENSA, takes members above a score something like 140 or 142. It is not particularly uncommon for persons to score well above that level, though such persons are within the top 2%, and in some cases 1%, of the population. I myself was tested (in the 1980s, before marriages and an ocean of red wine) at 156. I know at least one person who was once tested at 169, which (I think) is somewhere towards the top of the useful scale, though I am no expert in these matters.
The figures can only be taken as a rough guide to reality. According to the Wikipedia article cited above, persons in “professional and technical” occupations average, supposedly, around 112, while persons who are medical doctors, lawyers etc score an average of 125.
It is often mistakenly thought that a score above some set figure indicates “genius”, whereas in reality “genius” imports what Wagner, in response to a question about his own genius, called “universal currents of Divine thought“.
One sometimes sees young persons whom the popular Press describes as having “genius” IQ. Their strong suit is usually mathematics. A number of years ago, a young Jewish girl was one such. She entered Oxford University at age 12, having passed the entrance requirements at age 10. She is now a professor in Israel. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Lawrence
Such people rarely take a leading role in society, either because they have no interest in doing so, or because their mentality is narrowly-focussed, or both.
As Valentin Tomberg impliedly noted in one of his books, such people have often achieved capabilities beyond the norm precisely because they have abandoned general growth in favour of a narrow and specialized advance. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditations_on_the_Tarot
When we talk about society in general, we talk of a broad advance (or decline) across the board. It is well known that Oriental ethnic groups, especially Chinese and Japanese, have a high average IQ. Northern Europeans too. Some ethnic groups, particularly many sub-Saharan African ones, have a markedly low average IQ.
This is not a (no pun intended) black and white issue. Even the Wikipedia overview [see above] outlines some of the uncertainties and complexities.
There is also the point that mere intelligence is not everything. “Emotional intelligence”, often called “EQ”, is also of importance. A common mistake is to imagine that morality, compassion etc are “add-ons” to intelligence. Not so. In our present age, the two are distinct, but to imagine that evil-doers are generally more intelligent than the well-intentioned is an error.
Valentin Tomberg [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Tomberg] examined the good/evil and high intelligence/low intelligence binaries in some of his work. He also noted, as did Steiner, the eventual appearance on Earth of two opposed groups, which would become opposed cultures, civilizations, and then races, one evil, one good.
Let us ask, as an exercise in ideas, what could we do, in a circumstance where we have the power to choose, to create a higher societal form.
For the purposes of this exercise, I am assuming that the most unpleasant and backward groups in present UK society are no longer present.
The starting point must be the educational system, which is obviously not working. A simplistic view would be to say “replace present State and other education with Steiner (or other) education”. My problem with that would be that, from what I have heard, even Steiner education is by no means perfect.
However, there obviously needs to be considerable reform of both school and university education. The whole “degree” and “master’s degree” and “doctorate” system should really be junked, as no longer fit for purpose.
“Education” should not be merely a matter of stuffing heads with facts (important though that can be); still less, a matter of stuffing heads with propaganda (often false). It should be a matter of general, including moral-ethical, upbringing, with the aim of allowing to blossom each child’s capabilities and talents for the ultimate good of society.
Institutes should be established, which would have the specific aim of increasing the cultural and intelligence level of the people. A great deal has been learned in the past century about how to increase intelligence in the short-term: diet, music etc.
During the 12-year currency of the German Reich, there were institutes established to study esoteric matters, as well as history. The best known was SS-Ahnenerbe [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnenerbe].
There was a generally spiritual as well as practical side to German National Socialism.
Even today, there is considerable interest in SS-Ahnenerbe, and later developments.
While it would be excellent to establish an institute such as SS-Ahnenerbe in the new UK state, the Ahnenerbe’s focus was mainly on the past, whereas for me the orientation has to be towards the future.
We already have institutes of, inter alia, psychology, sociology, philosophy. However, some studies are considered the realm of cranks, and any academic taking an interest in what might be called “X-files” matters will be cold-shouldered at best, as happened to Rupert Sheldrake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Sheldrake; https://www.sheldrake.org/.
We need to study, on a more rigorous basis, astrology, parapsychology, hypnotism, magic, telekinesis etc.
A new society can be more than just an administrative and economic unit; it can be an entity that takes its evolution into its own hands and quickens it. The aim: higher evolution. A super-race, with capabilities that would seem to us, today, to be superhuman.

How widespread *is* secret sympathy for the IRA among New Labour's upper deck? Much of the Blairite elite came into Labour from the International Marxist Group(IMG), which used (I well recall it because I hated it even then) to chant 'Victory to the IRA!' on 1970s demonstrations. https://t.co/QqtgjqTvkh
Well, I blogged about that yesterday. No wonder Fleet Street newspapers (and the msm in general) were so uncritical when Blair and his regime (eg the egregious and fairly ghastly “Mo” Mowlam) concluded “peace” with the IRA (which despite still being able to set off bombs and rockets, had essentially been defeated militarily by 1997).
I’m afraid Mr Hitchens is absolutely right, we can rage on the internet all we like, we can make small acts of defence like a brew with friends or not wearing a mask but it will make no difference, lockdown will end when the govt and SAGE say so, the opposition has had no impact.
Well, there might have been real resistance, but in fact there was almost none. Meanwhile the “Great Reset” plan of the international cabals continues to be implemented. (nb. I think that tweeter “@PaulWaddington3” means “defiance“, not “defence“).
Do dumbass parents not realize how damaging it is to put their kids in isolation? Seriously.
I wonder whether someone would like to do a similar graphic, though more complex, of the UK, taken over slowly since the late 19th Century.

Keir Starmer is not himself a Jew, but he is married to one (a property lawyer), and their children are being brought up as if full-Jewish, including the Jewish supremacist religious holidays. In a word, Starmer is just a puppet.
As I have said many times before, the international cabals know that the next significant year in the 33-year cycle is 2022. It will be the most significant since 1989, which was itself the most determinative since 1956.
That cycle, and 2022 as the next really important year, is why everything seems to be moving so quickly now— the worldwide virus “crisis”, the “black lives matter” nonsense (in the still-majority-white countries), the endless blacks and browns on every TV show, every TV ad etc in the UK, USA and elsewhere. The Great Reset and also the Great Replacement, in accordance with the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

I was sent this Wikipedia material: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Langan, which is biographical detail about someone who has had some of the highest I.Q. test results ever recorded; between 195 and 210.
My own I.Q. was once (long ago!) tested at 156, which is considered high, the global average being taken to be 100. The average for UK university students is supposed to be 125 (though I am citing a figure from the 1980s, before “everyone and his dog” went to a “university”, so the average for students must surely be lower now…). I believe that the British “dating club for eggheads”, MENSA, takes candidates with I.Q. levels above 140 or 142 (I cannot recall exactly, offhand).
That Christopher Langan biog. is an interesting read in terms of the “Nature v. nurture” debate. As Wikipedia notes, it is interesting to speculate as to whether Langan would have had a very different (easier? Less turbulent?) life had he had such background (and family wealth) as the Jewish scientist, Oppenheimer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Oppenheimer].
As far as Langan himself is concerned, Wikipedia says that: “Langan’s IQ was estimated on ABC’s 20/20 to be between 195 and 210,[2] and he has been described by some journalists as “the smartest man in America” or “in the world”.[3][4][5][6]” and adds that: “Langan has developed an idea he calls the “Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe” (CTMU)[3][6][8] which he maintains “explains the connection between mind and reality, therefore the presence of cognition and universe in the same phrase”.[9] He calls his proposal “a true ‘Theory of Everything‘, a cross between John Archibald Wheeler‘s ‘Participatory Universe‘ and Stephen Hawking‘s ‘Imaginary Time‘ theory of cosmology”[3] additionally contending that with CTMU he “can prove the existence of God, the soul and an afterlife, using mathematics.“[1][4] “
Langan has socio-political views which would —and perhaps do— enrage the Jews and their “antifa” dupes:
Hard for the sort of mediocre, self-describing “Left” Twitter-twits and/or Jews often noticed to describe someone such as Langan as “a knuckledragger”, but no doubt many would still do it. They certainly do it to other intelligent and well-educated social-national people; they have done it even to me! Fortunately, such ignorant critics are irrelevant both to me and general society.
High IQ is better than low, but high morality (in the sense of the Good, or compassion etc) is more important, or equally important; perhaps more important. We are used to thinking, perhaps from popular thrillers etc, of “clever” and “bad” as going together, whereas “bad” often goes with stupidity, in fact. The future must be both “clever” and “good”.
Nature v. nurture. A debate which has been lively since the time of Darwin, and arguably since much earlier times. The Jesuits said, following no less than Aristotle, “give me the child until he is seven, and I shall give you the man.”
Rudolf Steiner was right to place education in the forefront of society. The German National Socialists, with very different aims and methods, did the same. As did the Soviet Union. None was 100% “right” in terms of what was done. Even Waldorf (Rudolf Steiner) schools are subject to criticism, sometimes ill-founded, sometimes not.
Whatever one may say about different forms of education, there is no doubt that, in the wider sense (meaning upbringing from birth, as well as more formal education), it is key to the future of the whole world.
People vary widely in their abilities. It should be the job of educationalists to discover what abilities a child has, and then to nurture them, both for the good of the child and for the good of society. Vocational dissatisfaction is at the root of many of the ills of society.
Also, it is not just a matter of stuffing the child with as much knowledge as possible, important as that may be. “EQ” (emotional intelligence) must run alongside I.Q. This idea is not new. After all, in exaggerated form it appears in Tom Brown’s Schooldays:
That formula, however, all but chucks out the idea of “IQ” and an education of facts. It is more akin to the basic National Socialist education of 1930s Germany. Not for nothing did Hitler admire the Boy Scout and Girl Guide movement of Baden Powell, and emulate it via the Hitlerjugend and Bund Deutscher Mädel.
The better ideal takes into account both the formation of intellect and the formation of character, including that of helping others: Durch Mitleid wissen (“Through compassion to knowledge”, the motto of the Knights of the Grail).
I wish that the “educational debate” in the UK were more about the themes noted above, and less about meaningless “grades”, “degrees” etc; and far less about “equality” (whether absolute or “of opportunity”).
I wonder what it would take to “raise the sense of personal threat” felt by members of “SAGE” (aka “DUMB”, the Department Under Matt and Boris”)? Or MPs, for that matter…
Of course, many MPs have contracted “the virus” and are still around. Are they incapable of learning?
Yes, that is right. As Hitchens says; 1998, not 1997, I think. I remember reading about it, in an overpriced Sunday Times bought when I was living in Alexandria in early 1998.
It wasn't Corbyn who freed the IRA murderers in 1998, @zimbo81180387. It was Blair backed by Clinton and the Tories. I've always thought it a touch hypocritical for the establishment parties to attack Corbyn on this issue, given their own records of appeasing terror. https://t.co/FZOnLOUfWo
Peace at any price…in 1997, the USA had its own agenda anyway. From the USA, the UK seems very much a sideshow (part of Europe/Eurasia), so Northern Ireland is “a sideshow of a sideshow”…
In general this is a good policy. But the rivers of Oxford have always flooded (less so, it is true, in the days of the wonderful old Thames Conservancy, when trees were quickly cleared and channels dredged) and sensible people have just not built on floodplains. https://t.co/OX7wjoLWU7
That sort of pseudo-SWAT militia is more now in evidence than previously. In the 1990s, they were mainly seen around Heathrow, often with smug semi-smiles on their faces. I often used to wonder what would happen in the event of a real terrorist outrage. Would the “robocops” really open fire with their Heckler & Kock MP5s? In a crowded terminal?! As seen often on Twitter, “genuine question”…

Yes. The police have largely become an alien invasive force obsessed by “anti-racism” and other current shibboleths. They seem (often) to have forgotten that their job is to serve the British people, not alien and/or special interest groups. I have blogged about my own experience: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/
There has been a backlash, though. I notice that in Hampshire, where I live, the police command has decided to close a number of the local police Twitter accounts. Most were in fact interesting and informative, but I saw a couple which were obviously out of control. One was (it is not now tweeting and will be closed within a week or so) “@WatersideCops”, covering the western shoreline areas of the Solent, close to Southampton. That Twitter account was always pumping out propaganda about various things, particularly “racism” against “Roma” gypsies and so-called “travellers”, i.e. the caravan-dwellers once known as “tinkers”. Ironic, in view of the crime profile of the area (and areas around).
Often, though not always, civilian employees of the police are to blame for nonsensical tweeting.
Oh well…”Waterside Cops” will soon have to stop tweeting nonsense and start doing their real job better.
[Update, 2 January 2021: as of 29 December 2020, “Waterside Cops” were still threatening people who mocked their silly tweets! See below:
Nothing since then, so it looks as though the above silly and impotent tweet, posted not long before midnight —hm…—, will be the swansong of “Waterside Cops” on Twitter. Byeee!]
I suppose that I should not say more at present about the continuing persecution of the singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz, the complaints against whom (like the malicious Jew-Zionist complaint made against me in 2017) have mostly been made by the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” in the person of Stephen Silverman of South Essex. Alison comes up for trial at the end of March 2021.
One has to ask, in general terms, how it is that a tiny fanatical pressure group has in recent years exercized such influence over the police of London, Essex, Derbyshire etc. Also, how it is that these Israel-fanatics are apparently welcome on LBC, Sky News etc. Well, I suppose that it depends on the (((political editors))) and on their (((bias)))…
Well, Enoch was right, in principle, about mass immigration, but as to mental hospitals, may or may not have been right. It is a complex problem. I agree, though, that he was, for all his erudition, often vain and silly.
Powell was especially silly to try to be a latter-day, and Unionist, Parnell [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Stewart_Parnell], by linking with Ulster unionism in the idea of controlling a bloc of seats in the House of Commons. Rather, he should have left the Conservative Party either in 1970 or 1974, and then founded his own party, or maybe taken on the leadership of the National Front. That really might have worked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_Powell

Watched that excellent film, Waterloo. Rod Steiger is amazing as Napoleon, the man who changed the face of Europe even in defeat.
While watching I drank (probably too much) “blackstrap”, a mixture of cognac and port. A drink almost forgotten today, but which, before the First World War, was considered the drink of the Life Guards (officers) and (as and when permitted) Eton.
A good and warming drink, when taken in moderation.
