Amazing clips of film.

Woolwich Crown Court is high-security. Prisoners are brought to court via an underground tunnel from the nearby Belmarsh Prison. I once had a friend at the Bar who, in the 1990s, did quite a lot of “heavy” crime there, crimes such as security-van jobs and the like.

Craig Murray was H.M. Ambassador to Uzbekistan at one time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Murray, and is now rather dissident.

As previously blogged, the Ukrainian Ambassador whom I accompanied sometime around 1995 to the UK’s biological warfare (etc) centre at Porton Down, Wiltshire, is now the director of a bio-lab in Ukraine: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko.

Well said. Political leadership is not the same as being an Army or Royal Marines officer (you cannot simply command people and events, and decisions have to be more nuanced). As the tweeter says, neither is political leadership similar to being a senior legal figure such as the DPP (you cannot simply lay down rules and regulations and/or threaten to use “the full force of the law” when people do not agree).

Come to that, political leadership is also unalike to being a top-level businessman, as Trump is proving to the world. Not everyone wants to “make a deal“. Some people will not “make a deal” under any circumstances, because they or their group, clan, or people are motivated not by a quantifiable outcome such as profit and loss, but by ideology, or religion, or even a wish for “death or (and/or) glory”. Such people often do not much care if they themselves end up worse off (objectively) without a so-called “deal”.

Talking point

People, years ago, thought that Starmer-stein would be a Prime Minister fairly dull but at least intelligent, reliable, respectful of the idea of “a society under law”, and not likely to go off the rails in any serious way.

Well…people got the dull Prime Minister, but they also got a power-mad former bureaucrat willing to have protesters imprisoned for years for doing such petty crimes or non-crimes such as posting “inflammatory” tweets that few read and by which none were “incited”; same goes for idiotic young or not-young men willing to throw a few plastic wheelie bins towards a line of riot police.

The British people got, not a dull but reliable (and ethical) Prime Minister, but a petty tyrant forcing the entire nation to give large amounts of personal information to Israeli and other companies before being “allowed” to post on, or even use and/or read, Twitter/X, Facebook, YouTube etc.

They also got a Prime Minister willing to light Jewish-supremacist candlesticks in the windows of 10, Downing Street and in Trafalgar Square, and one willing to throw away enormous amounts of money “supporting” the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev, while British people struggle without help.

The British people also got a crazed Prime Minister presiding over a migration invasion of enormous proportions, one which he has no plan to stop, and no intention of stopping.

More tweets

[“Head of the armed forces Sir Richard Knighton today: “We will have to dial back our activities and our exercise and operational activity if the level of resource funding that is available to us does not increase.”

Speaking at the G7 today, Keir Starmer made clear there will be no more money forthcoming.

John Healey’s resignation speech in the Commons later should be box office.”]

Ah, yes…I remember that Knighton person “cosplaying” in camouflage gear in Kiev a year or so ago [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Knighton].

In reality, any money spent on “defence” at present is money totally wasted. There is no threat from Russia or anywhere else to the UK, not in terms of ordinary warfare. The threats are all from the migration invasion or are from within the society— the demographic changes, the exploitative finance-capitalism tearing society apart, and the collapsing fake “democratic” political system.

Britain should not be getting involved in Ukraine, the Middle East, or the Indian Ocean. It is pathetic, anyway, now that our Empire is long-gone, given away by the LabCon traitors now all too ready to wave the flag around to “support” the thuggish and corrupt regime Ukraine, or the appalling Israeli state.

Indicates low enthusiasm for all existing parties. Translates to a Commons with about 284 Reform UK MPs (about 42 short of an overall majority), 93 Cons (weak official Opposition unless they make common cause with Reform, either coalition or other arrangement); Greens 68, LibDems 68, Lab 62, SNP 45 [etc].

That would probably be good for social nationalism. A Reform or Reform/Con government would be a disaster but, as Lenin said “worse will be better“…

Once again, as in all polling for a long time, Starmer would lose his seat on those figures, as would any Labour MP in Makerfield (probably including Burnham, if he wins the upcoming by-election).

Very true, but that is where the vast bulk of the population is.

There may be oblique or indirect ways for people, whether as groups or as individuals (“lone wolves”), to sabotage and rebel.

Again, very true, but “prepping” in the UK is not the same, nor can it be, as prepping in the USA, Canada, Russia etc.

Leaving aside the schools issue, one thing is clear: Labourite drone and careerist Bridget Phillipson knows little or no history, despite her mixed history/languages degree from Oxford.

The Gestapo did not march “hundreds of thousands” (of any types) anywhere. I presume that the idiotic woman is confusing or conflating the Gestapo with the S.S.

The Gestapo was a quite small organization, largely made up of former detectives from the Kripo (criminal police). Its job was to track down spies and saboteurs etc, which it did mainly by sifting through denunciations sent in by citizens.

In fact, 95% of the work of the Gestapo was to examine, then dismiss denunciations made by people either mistakenly or maliciously. There were usually only a few Gestapo officers in even quite sizeable towns.

The Gestapo operated almost invariably in civilian clothes, and did not march columns of prisoners anywhere.

Disappointing but certainly not surprising, these days, to find such ignorance in a woman who not only read History (period studied not known to me), but also is now Secretary of State for Education…

Incidentally, the only non-political jobs that woman ever had prior to getting in on the old MP racket were 2 years as an office worker at her local council, then for about 2 years as manager of a charity founded by her own mother: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_Phillipson.

Another small settlement (500 inhabitants before the war, and now probably few, certainly not more than 100).

Russia needs a gamechanger. Urgently.

[“Starmer’s turning the UK into an authoritarian dictatorship, where people are too scared to speak out

Its planned social media ban is being sold as child protection. Look closer and it affects every adult too.

To keep under-16s off X, TikTok, YouTube and the rest, everyone has to prove they’re over 16. That means tying your ID to your accounts.

We’ve seen where this leads.

Under the existing Online Safety Act, sites like Imgur and several adult platforms simply blocked all UK users rather than handle the verification.

Civil liberties groups like the Open Rights Group are already warning about who holds that data and how it’s protected.

Set that against a country with a track record of arresting people over online posts, and the worry writes itself.

When your name is attached to everything you say, you start watching what you say.

It’s the oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook, the same instinct that kept people quiet under every communist regime of the last century.

Starmer calls it protecting children. Funny how the protection always seems to involve knowing exactly who said what.

And the people who do speak out and stand up, like Tommy Robinson? He was arrested under the Terrorism Act so police could seize his devices and see who he’s been communicating with.

The UK is slipping into tyranny, and the voices that can speak out will soon be silenced.“]

You have to bear in mind, also, that those tested were tested after having been prisoners for some time, on restricted diets and, in some cases (Streicher, in particular) subject to ill-treatment amounting to torture at the hands of Jews in American uniform.

I was tested in the 1980s at 156 or 155 (I forget, but think the former), but of course that was about 40 years ago. In any case, IQ is only one factor of importance. “EQ” is also very significant in terms of how the individual functions in society, for example.

Not as straightforward as often thought. Marilyn Monroe was (apparently) on or above the IQ level of Einstein. In the old phrase, “it makes one think“…

“Antifascist”/”antiracist” idiots usually do try the old “racists are knuckledraggers” (etc) line; a couple even tried to characterize me that way on Twitter, many years ago. Not worth discussing; certainly, there is no need for anyone on “our” side of the “argument” to self-validate or self-justify.

Get them out or get them gone. Whatever it takes.

There are several ethno-cultural “communities” in the UK that should be removed (and read that however you like), not just one.

Interesting point, and probably correct.

Like a box of Soviet chocolates: different shapes externally, but all with the same filling.

Those people (and those behind them) would have us at war, and entirely unnecessarily, and hugely devastatingly, with Russia. Healey even mentioned it in that speech (“…war with Russia within 5 years“…).

Russia has 6,000-7,000 nuclear weapons of various types, including massive missiles, some of which cannot be intercepted en route. Do those willing to fight Russia (and why? To support the corrupt, shambolic, and brutal Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev?) really want to risk these islands becoming a charred and radioactive wasteland?

No thank you.

Britain should leave NATO, cultivate better relations with Russia, take Russian oil and gas at cost price (I think that easily achievable in the right circumstances) and, in Russia, find a ready and huge market for British goods and services, including our people’s great overall skill-set.

Carns may well climb higher. Exceptional. However, from what I have seen and heard so far, possibly (and, in view of his support for Jo Cox and her activity, probably) ideologically unsound.

I am all in favour of the UK being, in Carns’ own words, “able to defend itself“, but that must be distinguished from fomenting entirely unnecessary wars which are likely to entirely destroy this country and its people.

I can see Carns being appealing to many voters, though.

Carns’ speech is wrong in its characterization of the Attlee government of the mid/late 1940s. That excellent historian, Correlli Barnett [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett] made the point in his several books that the UK tried to do three things after 1945 (retain a global military presence, re-tool British industry and commerce, establish or improve the Welfare State), but only had the wherewithal to do two of those properly, and thus did all three but inadequately.

Having said that, Carns made a pretty good speech there, objectively.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Carns

I have seen, however, from Carns’ tweets and interviews on domestic matters, that he is very weak in areas outside his core comfort-zone of defence etc.

I am generally opposed to the death penalty, but there are exceptions. This is one such exception.

Only social nationalism can save this country now.

At the end of the day, Andy Burnham is really just another Labourite drone, with little or really nothing new to say, let alone do.

What a nice idea.

Israel, as a state, as a society, is no worse than most of the Arab/Muslim states in the region, in overall terms —indeed, in some respects better— but is the hub of worldwide Jewish power and influence. That is why I oppose it.

[“Iran has managed to survive the attacks and even bring Washington to its knees, writes the Ynet portal.

Iran withstood serious attacks and, relying on its remaining strength, managed to bring the United States to its knees,” the portal states.

“The problem lies with the United States. They have shown their weakness: their word is no longer their word, their power is no longer power, and their blockade is no longer a blockade.”

“These were supposed to be the best days of the United States as a world power,” but “the grand names of operations against Iran – the American β€˜Epic Rage’ and the Israeli β€˜Roaring Lion’ – have been shattered to pieces,” it adds.

According to Ynet, Israel has not seen such a consensus in society for a long time, between the left and the far right, that the American-Iranian agreement, expected to be signed on June 19, is a “strategic defeat” for Israel and a “failure” for the United States and moderate Sunni states in the region.

“Trump is determined to reach an agreement. Hardly any leader of a great power has ever shown such zeal, which is a sign of weakness,” Ynet believes, adding that even “the demonstration of power now boils down to Trump’s AI-generated videos portraying himself as a global superman.

“It’s hard to believe, but that’s exactly how it is: never before has such a powerful state shown such a terrifying weakness towards a country that was considered to have suffered a severe defeat,” the portal emphasizes.“]

Those who live will see“…

[“Zelensky keeps bragging online while frontline troubles mounting for Ukrainian army Fresh off the G7 summit, Zelensky once again tried to rattle President Putin and Russia with threats of a “harsh winter,” projecting an image that NATO’s latest tech upgrades had given him the strategic upper hand. But for all the polished optics flooding Ukrainian and Western media, the reality on the ground tells a very different story.“]

Historical note

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Coughlin

Charles Edward Coughlin (/ˈkΙ’Ι‘lΙͺn/ KOG-lin; October 25, 1891 β€“ October 27, 1979), commonly known as Father Coughlin, was a Canadian–American Catholic priest based in the United States near Detroit. He was the founding priest of the National Shrine of the Little Flower. Dubbed “The Radio Priestβ€Š” and considered a leading demagogue,[1] he was one of the first political leaders to use radio to reach a mass audience. During the 1930s, when the U.S. population was about 120 million, an estimated 30 million listeners tuned in to his weekly broadcasts.[2]

Coughlin was born in Ontario to working-class Irish Catholic parents. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1916, and in 1923 he was assigned to the National Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, Michigan. Coughlin began broadcasting his sermons during a time of increasing anti-Catholic sentiment across the globe. As his broadcasts became more political, he became increasingly popular.[3]

Initially, Coughlin was a vocal supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal; he later fell out with Roosevelt, accusing him of being too friendly to bankers. In 1934, he established a political organization called the National Union for Social Justice. Its platform called for monetary reforms, nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of labour rights. The membership ran into the millions but was not well organized locally.[4]

After making attacks on Jewish bankers, Coughlin began to use his radio program Golden Hour to broadcast antisemitic commentary. In the late 1930s, he supported some of the policies of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The broadcasts have been described as “a variation of the Fascist agenda applied to American culture”.[5] His chief topics were political and economic rather than religious, using the slogan “Social Justice”.

After the outbreak of World War II in Europe in 1939, the National Association of Broadcasters forced the cancellation of Golden Hour. In 1942, the Archdiocese of Detroit forced Coughlin to close his newspaper Social Justice and forbade its distribution by mail. Coughlin vanished from the public arena, working as a parish pastor until retiring in 1966. He died in 1979 at age 88.[6][7][8]

[Wikipedia]

It seems that Father Coughlin’s views were a more politicized, and more American (though he was born and brought up in Ontario), equivalent of those espoused by those of the great G.K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc, and others of a Roman Catholic or an Anglo-Catholic ideological background prior to the Second World War.

Leaving aside the rights and wrongs, “IQ” can only take you so far. My own IQ was once measured (40 years ago) at 156, easily within the top 1% of the population, yet I have not taken over leadership of the world and, at age 68, time is running out, at least in my present incarnation.

Looking at most politicians, commentators, business leaders etc in our society, intellectual mediocrity is more likely to lead to “success” than a stellar IQ.

Interestingly, it is claimed that Marilyn Monroe had an IQ equivalent to that of Einstein, which must make one question the basis for IQ’s societal prominence. We are only at the early stages of understanding what makes the brain, the human personality, and society, work.

Ukraine

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/31/tired-mood-changed-ukrainian-army-desertion-crisis

When Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine three years ago, Viktor* was ready to die for his country. He volunteered to defend Kyiv as enemy tanks appeared and joined Ukraine’s armed forces. In the spring of 2023 he was fighting in the village of Tonenke, near the eastern city of Avdiivka. β€œWhen I arrived I was super-motivated. If necessary I would give my life,” he recalled.

Gradually, however, he became disillusioned. The battle was furious. β€œThe Russians would smash our positions to the ground,” he said. Senior Ukrainian commanders gave unrealistic orders. Then, while he was defending a ruined building, a panel fell on his shoulder. After receiving injections to reduce the pain, he was told to return to the front. β€œI realised I’m nobody. Just a number,” he said.

In May that same year, Viktor left his position to seek further medical treatment. He did not come back. His commander marked him down as awol. Viktor is one of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers who have abandoned their units. The exact figure is a military secret, but officials concede the number is large.

The issue of desertion has made headlines in Ukraine. Last week the government launched an investigation into the 155th Mechanised Brigade. Fifty-six soldiers disappeared while training in France. Hundreds of others are said to be missing.

After three years of war, Ukraine is desperately short of soldiers, especially infantry. This has made it easier for Russia’s army to advance in the east. There are structural issues too. New brigades have been built from scratch. They performed poorly.”

[Guardian]

As noted on this blog for the past couple of years.

Russia is winning, slowly. The Kiev regime may collapse later this year. There may be a general advance of Russian forces later in 2025.

UK demographics

White British births have fallen to a record low! New figures have revealed that White British births now make-up just 55.6 per cent of all live births in England and Wales. But at the same time, the British population is skyrocketing, with the latest reports published in the press predicting that our population will surpass 72.5 million by 2032!

The meteoric rise in population is largely being driven by mass immigration. Both legal and illegal migration into Britain are now at an all-time high and the last up-to-date figures we released show that net migration has reached over 900,000 per year. This is shocking in itself, as that is more people than live in the city of Manchester!

[“Eighteen Years“]

Talking point

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. Β£20.50.

Whether you think that Β£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.

[the fish market, Fethiye, Turkey. The many restaurant tables and chairs were not there when I used to patronise the market (neither was that sign in English) but, at that time, in 2001, the fish market was new, having been built or rebuilt and possibly having also been relocated from a different place. That was 23 years ago. How time flies when you are older…]

[Fethiye, Turkey. The best part of town, by the marina]

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.

[“Off with their heads!“]

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 β€œensure 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))).

Diary Blog, 2 March 2021, including thoughts of a societal “quantum leap”

How can society achieve a quantum leap?

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.

Rudolf Steiner spoke about this issue, and about how the karmic consequences play out. See https://www.amazon.co.uk/Karmic-Relationships-1-Esoteric-Studies/dp/185584267X.

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.

The X Files is fiction, but, like The Protocols of Zion, at least loosely based on fact. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_viewing; https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp96-00792r000400100001-2; https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/nsa-rdp96x00790r000100030041-0; https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/cia-rdp96-00787r000500420001-2.

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.

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).

Quelle surprise: “EU…mirroring Israeli model“…

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“).

Just one more symptom of the madness of the present day.

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. The graphic would show infiltration into business, the legal professions, politics, the mass media and other areas, including rental property (both commercial and residential).

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.

Diary Blog, 27 December 2020, including some thoughts about IQ, EQ, education etc

Funding of a social-national party and movement

I noticed that one of my first few blog posts, from four years ago, has had some hits today. I have just re-read that post, and have nothing more to add to it: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2016/11/19/problems-of-finance-in-social-nationalist-politics/

Christopher Langan: IQ and EQ, Nature v. nurture

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:

Langan’s support of conspiracy theories, including the 9/11 Truther movement (Langan has claimed that the George W. Bush administration staged the 9/11 attacks in order to distract the public from learning about the CTMU) and the white genocide conspiracy theory, as well as his opposition to interracial relationships, have contributed to his gaining a following among members of the alt-right and others on the far right.[10][11] Journalists have described certain of Langan’s Internet posts as containing “thinly veiled” antisemitism[10] and making antisemitic “dog whistles“.[11]” [Wikipedia]

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:

If he’ll only turn out a brave, helpful, truth-telling Englishman, and a gentleman, and a Christian, that’s all I want.” [Squire Brown explains his expectations of a Rugby education in Tom Brown’s Schooldays][https://www.catholiceducation.org/en/culture/art/thomas-hughes-tom-browns-school-days.html].

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 MΓ€del.

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.

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”…

Ten persons, only two (or —unclear—four) of whom are white Northern Europeans. Britain’s crippled near future?

Load up“…

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”…

Having driven extensively in both Greece and Turkey (and in the Northern part of Cyprus), I am both unsurprised and (because I like the tweets of “European Housewife”) disinclined to comment!

I remember tweeter “Manon des sources” from when I had a Twitter account. She used to retweet my tweets occasionally.

Ah. If it is true that Ferguson is talking with (conspiring with?) Blair, then it becomes clear why Ferguson is still given a clear run on the BBC…

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.
