People say “the Holocaust is one of the most well documented events in history,” …. But it’s really not documented at all. In fact when you actually dig into the documents you realize how the evidence points into the other direction. Evidence like

-Hitler never ordered the extermination of the Jews

-the allies never spotted any “killing camps” when doing reconnaissance missions

-the allies broke the German codes and were listening to their messages, and heard nothing about death camps.

-all the “death camps” were only on the Soviet side. How did the allies manage to not find any? Why do we believe the Soviet communist?

-there is no physical evidence that Jews were gassed to death

-the worldwide Jewish population numbers did not decrease.

– the entire holocaust narrative is based on ludicrous constantly changing eye witness testimony

-during the war, the Germans were using the people in concentration camps as their labor force. Killing them literally would have hurt the war effort. This why they wouldn’t do it. “Arbeit Macht frei” which is stated at the gates of Auschwitz means work sets you free. Because it was a work camp…

The same [****] that are lying to you about the USS Liberty, the Iraq War, the conflict in Gaza, are the same [****] lying to you about [‘holocaust’].”

Good points.

The “@Uncommonsince76” Twitter/X account is one of the best.

The Israel-lobby stranglehold in the USA dates, in its powerful form, from the 1970s, which was when the term “holocaust” was adapted (inserted into mass media etc) to describe, deliberately vaguely, some events of the early 1940s.

After the disastrous end of the Second World War, the msm has pushed “their” view of whether Hitler was basically right about “their” mentality. What is the verdict?

Israel, food insecurity, and food banks

https://www.thejc.com/lets-eat/meet-the-pair-saving-the-starving-in-jerusalem-pfd37l9k

“Since October 7, Jerusalem’s food security has been in crisis, says food expert Daniella Seltzer. Rising prices, disrupted supply chains, and the continued impact of war on the workforce has made it harder for many to access food. But Seltzer’s programme, Food Rescuers, is stepping up to the challenge, working to tackle food insecurity and waste.

The Food Rescuers collect surplus produce that would otherwise be discarded and redistribute it to those in need. With a poverty rate of 40 per cent, Jerusalem is one of Israel’s poorest cities, and the Rescuers’ work is sorely needed.”

So Jerusalem has a poverty rate designated as being 40%? Not the picture shown to the world by the Israeli government. I wonder what the corresponding rate for Tel Aviv might be.

Leaving aside the Jewish/Israeli aspect, though, it is true that a huge amount of food is also wasted in the UK. I often buy tins and bottles sold at a quarter, a fifth, even a tenth of the usual price, and placed on a few special shelves in supermarkets. Everything from tins of corn, peeled tomato, and tuna to fruit juices and packs of Evian water. The tins have minor dents at times, and the multi-packs of water may be missing a bottle, but the value is astonishing.

I hope that people generally do as I do when I put items from home, usually tins or jars, and which are within a month or so of the “best before” stamp, in the supermarket food bank bins for people who are struggling.

A society such as the UK should not “need” food banks, and I think that I had never heard of them until the evil government of David Cameron-Levita came to power in 2010, but they are at present necessary, and one can help them without even making any personal sacrifice. Better that a jar of arrabiata pasta sauce goes to a needy person or family, than that it be thrown into landfill.

Incidentally, that Jewish Chronicle report adds that:

As prices rise, vulnerable communities – strictly Orthodox Jewish, Palestinian, refugee, Roma, and asylum seekers – are disproportionately affected. “The government’s food programmes often exclude people in East Jerusalem or non-Hebrew speakers. Even within the Jewish community, strictly Orthodox populations tend to get more support,” she says… “There is systemic racism engrained into the way the country works.”

All of the hospital’s departments are now being bombed by the occupation using all kinds of weapons, using snipers, tanks and quadcopters.” Israeli forces have been launching a series of attacks on the barely functioning Kamal Adwan Hospital in north Gaza, after ordering people inside and around the facility to evacuate. The director of the hospital Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya says the hospital is the only humanitarian service left in northern Gaza. He also said he holds the international community accountable for what is happening, for not intervening in the attacks on the hospital.

Well, after all, you know what “element” controls most of the mainstream media in the West generally…

Diary Blog, 20 March 2022, including wider thoughts about Russia’s future strategy

Morning music

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Scott_(organist)]

On this day a year ago

Looking at that blog post, it is almost incredible to see quite how many tweets used in it have been expunged by Twitter in the past months, mostly I think recently. The censorship now is heavily oppressive, not far from amounting to tyranny.

Where does Russia go from here?

I want to look beyond the immediate military situation in Ukraine, to where Russia is placed culturally and geopolitically in big-picture terms.

The present situation of Russia vis-a-vis the Western world is that, with some exceptions (notably export of gas), Russia can neither import nor export.

In fact, the new import-export regime imposed on Russia is far more strict than the limited embargo imposed on the Soviet Union and its satellites during the Cold War: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinating_Committee_for_Multilateral_Export_Controls.

The CoCom regime was focussed mainly on military applications, whereas the new sanctions affect almost everything.

There has always been, certainly since the time of Peter the Great (17thC) a tension between Russia and the West. That was for a long time more evident in Russia itself than in the West. Peter was a Westernizer, who wanted to drag old Russia into the modern age. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_the_Great. To that end, Peter visited the upcoming mercantile and military powers of his time, particularly England and Holland.

Catherine the Great [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_the_Great], a German, was another modernizer and Westernizer (up to a point) but, in an interesting parallel to Stalin’s later rule, also intensified the harshness of serfdom.

The Westernizing tendency in Russia continued to exist in tandem with its opposite, the Slavophile tendency, which held that the Slavs, led by Russia, had their own unique future mission, and should not be too affected, contaminated by, or corrupted by Western habits and values. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavophilia, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westernizer.

While, in the 19th and 20th centuries, there were both tendencies in both government and intellectual life, Russian statesmen tended to be Westernizers, people such as Witte [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Witte], whereas the Slavophile tendency was stronger in the worlds of philosophy and literature. One thinks of Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky etc and, later Soloviev [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Solovyov_(philosopher)], Berdyaev [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Berdyaev] and others.

These categories were not strictly drawn, though. Some writers were more Westernizing (e.g. Turgenev) and some governmental figures more Slavophile, e.g. Pobedonostsev [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Pobedonostsev], whose slogan was ” Orthodoxy, Autocracy, Nationality” [Правосла́вие, самодержа́вие, наро́дность]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodoxy,_Autocracy,_and_Nationality.

Tsars Nikolai I and Alexander III were quite Slavophile, others (notably Alexander II, who liberated the serfs) more influenced by the West.

Slavophiles tended to distrust, inter alia, Western notions of democracy, reliance on technology, and the influence of Jews and Jewish notions: “The characteristics of the Jewish race are parasitic; for their sustenance they require the presence of another race as “host” although they remain aloof and self-contained” [Pobedonostsev]. Again, though, a line cannot be strictly drawn.

There was always a ying/yang aspect to the Slavophile/Westernizer dichotomy; a little bit of each in the other.

The Soviet regime likewise had Slavophile elements, more obviously so after 1945, though it was fundamentally a Westernizing movement: “Socialism means Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country” [Lenin].

There was a paradox, though. The dictatorial Westernizing movement of Bolshevism, that became Sovietism, could only maintain its power via a degree of enforced isolation from the West, which might be called, arguably, a Slavophile policy, at least in effect..

Dissidents against the Soviet regime were sometimes Westernizers (such as Sakharov [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrei_Sakharov], wanting Western civil rights and so on, but also sometimes Slavophiles such as Solzhenitsyn [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Solzhenitsyn].

The Soviet Union from the death of Stalin in 1953, and especially since Khrushchev’s Secret Speech of 1956, was fundamentally Westernizing, trying to copy the West in many respects, if only to try to outdo the West. The West had Concorde, so the Soviet Union had to have “Concordski” (the bungled TU-144). One example.

Since 1989, when Socialism fell (though the Soviet Union walked on, mortally wounded, until 1991), Russia has pursued an almost insane Westernist policy, even under Putin. That may now be reversed, or a different path pursued.

Having said that, Russia, like the Soviet Union before it, will not want to be cut out of Western technological progress. That would seem to suggest both an increase in Russian research and development, and an uptick in intelligence activity, including outright espionage.

The atom bomb secrets of the West were uncovered and captured in the 1940s and 1950s by a combination of huge scientific effort and huge espionage effort. In latter days (1960s through 1980s) the KGB’s “Line X” was the main organization involved in scientific and technical intelligence-gathering, together with, on the military side, the GRU.

We cannot talk about Western influence on Russia (and indeed Europe proper) without considering the often baleful effect of Anglo-American, mainly American, cultural exports. Film, TV, contemporary music. Whether Putin’s Russia has the spirit to stand against that is doubtful. Even the German Reich had to compromise to some extent on popular culture.

It has been said, by such as Rudolf Steiner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Steiner, and Valentin Tomberg [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Tomberg], that the far future will see two races emerge on the Earth, a “good” race based in Russia, and an “evil” race based in North America.

I have blogged before about how Russia, of all countries in the world, could subsist under a system of autarky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autarky]. It now seems that it may have little choice.

Whether Putin himself, with Russia’s transitional, post-Soviet, and post-Yeltsin form of society, will survive long is an open question. After Putin, the Russian leadership will have to thoroughly reform and reset Russian society, without Western help and without Western interference and exploitation.

A good start, culturally, would be for Russia to eliminate, as far as possible, pop/rock (etc) music. Also, most contemporary American films, and certainly most “sit-coms” and TV dramas.

System politicians in the UK now have to admit one of two possibilities: either they were stupid idiots about “Covid”, or they were the conscious dupes of the transnational “Great Reset” conspiracy.

The hysterical “trans” nonsense has taken over feminism and imprisoned it in a distortion worthy of Kafka.

Have these “erudite apes” (as Hitler called them) ever heard of, say, Animal Farm, or Faithful Ruslan? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithful_Ruslan.

“Yesterday he was evil and an enemy, but today evil and a friend“, so to speak…

A friend of the NWO, anyway…

Reminds me of when I lived in Almaty [Alma-Ata] Kazakhstan, in 1996-1997. I was slightly acquainted with the American pilots of the [Kazakhstan] Presidential flight. They (I only met two, but there were a couple of others) were all superannuated pilots from the insolvent and defunct Eastern Airlines [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines] cheated out of their pensions.

They all knew how to fly the Boeing jetliners used by the KZ President Nazarbaev. Local pilots were only familiar, then, with Soviet aircraft such as Tupolev jets and Ilyushins.

None of the Americans knew a word of Russian. They were very American, and insisted on driving around themselves rather than be chauffered like most foreigners were (including me; I had a driver called Valery, ex-MVD and shared with another client, a German diplomat; at that time, the British, French and German embassies were in the same building, and the capital had not yet been moved to Astana, now called Nursultan).

Those Americans found themselves in difficulty if randomly stopped and checked by the Kazakh police, a frequent occurrence (they only checked the driver, rarely if ever the passengers), because they could not explain themselves.

They were thus issued with a laminated card about the size of a hardback book, If stopped, they pulled that out. It was like the Rosetta Stone, and said the same thing in three languages, English, Russian, and Kazakh: “The bearer of this card is the pilot of the aircraft of the President” [etc].

The card was signed by the President himself, and bore his official seal. The Kazakhs loved rubber stamps; when I wanted one for my own use, I discovered that one could not simply get one’s secretary to have one made; it was necessary to supply a proposed design and various verifying documents —properly stamped, of course— about yourself and your organization to the delightfully-named “Bureau of Rubber Stamps”, which might then approve the design. Kafka would have loved it.

It is no doubt different now, but 25 years ago, you could not even get Vitamin C capsules in Almaty without a prescription! Or at least could only get them by rather covert means.

One of the Americans told me that, the first time he used his laissez-passer card, the policeman almost kow-towed. The policeman even invited the American to visit him, his wife and children some time.

I have walked those banks, in part, from near Pangbourne to Goring, and also, when at school, rowed the river from Dorchester-on-Thames down to Moulsford (upriver of Goring).

When Reality Becomes Subjective

It has always been accepted that, while subjective views of the world mean that reality may differ for different people, there exists, beyond the subjective reality, an objective reality, most of the time at least. Certain things were to be accepted, by all but the insane, as objectively true or real, and other things were regarded as untrue or unreal. Real included measurement of time, age, race, sex, and a million other things. Unreal did not have to be defined but would include direct “untruths” such as two men dressed up as a pantomime horse. These were “two men dressed up as a pantomime horse” (i.e. true), but were not “a horse” (i.e. false, or untrue).

It was never suggested that two men should not dress up as a pantomime horse and pretend to play the part of a horse on stage —or, indeed, in the street—, simply that two men dressed up as a horse are not a horse! That remains true even were the two men to sincerely believe (e.g. if insane) that they really were a horse.

Now it is true that there might be grey areas, particularly as to the future: it was true, in 1902, to say that people could not fly in heavier-than-air machines; by 1904, the same statement was untrue. There are other obvious examples. “Britain has a huge empire.” True in 1914, 1918, 1939 and even in 1945, but today (2018) not true.

Have we now moved (in the “West”, mainly) to a situation where objective reality is taking a back seat? Wishful thinking (eg the middle-aged woman who thinks that she still looks young) has always existed, but now it is sufficient merely to assert your wish for it to be superficially taken as representing fact: the male person or (far more rare) unfortunate freak of birth who “identifies” or “self-identifies” as female. Not only is such a wish-turned-“fact” to be taken seriously today (in, say, the UK) but anyone saying that a man who has had “gender re-assignment” surgery is still not, in reality, a woman, is accused of being “a bigot” uttering “hate speech”.

So it is that feministic women (with whose outlook I myself generally have little in common) and indeed many other women, and who object to women having to share exclusive facilities such as sport changing rooms, bathrooms etc with so-called “trans-women” (which might mean, eg, young girls having to undress and shower alongside middleaged –and even surgically unchanged– men posing as women, in effect), have been labelled “TERFS“, meaning “Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists”; and all because the said “TERFS” are unwilling to accept as true an evident untruth.

In the Netherlands, a man of 69 wants to have his age “reclassified” officially as 49, apparently for reasons of vanity, though it has been suggested (see notes below) that in fact he is making a satirical “propaganda of the deed” attempt. All the same, how telling it is that some dimwits commenting actually support the idea that a citizen should be able simply to choose an age at whim. A moment’s thought can surely show that such an idea must lead to chaos in a developed society! Examples (scarcely necessary, surely? Perhaps they are, in an increasingly mad society…): someone of 50 wants to get the benefits available to pensioners, so “self-identifies” as a 70-y-o. Or someone aged 50 wants to be allowed to join an age-restricted-on-entry organization such as the Army, or the Boy Scouts. It’s all just so ridiculous.

Then we have the whole race question. Sometimes I can do nothing but shake my head at the mentality of those who believe or want to believe that, say, a Chinese born in London is “English” or at least “British” rather than Chinese, or that a Jew born in Paris is “French”. Even the hardcore multikulti dimwits and maniacs find it hard to go along with the corollary, i.e. that an ethnically English person born in Peking or Calcutta is thereby a “Chinese” or “Indian”! But of course now the individual can “self-identify” anyway, so that we have cases such as the mentally-disturbed (?) and certainly very odd woman who, in the swamps of American politically-correct academia, simply cosmetically changed her appearance to look a little like a light-skinned “African-American”, then built a whole minor academic career on how bad whites are and how oppressed blacks are in the USA; not that there is not at least some truth in that, but that is a big and complex question, not something black and white (no pun intended). She was exposed in the end, mainly because she had claimed to be partly-black and was not. That was a few years ago. Today, I wonder whether her plea that she was simply “self-identifying” would save her from disgrace.

Another case. Barack Obama. Obama’s mother was white (mainly British –English, Welsh, Scottish– and Irish, with some German and Swiss aspects), his father black African. In his days of political prominence, no-one in the msm wanted to think or speak of him other than as “black”, because his superficial articulacy meant that it “proved” that a “black” man could be suitable (as it at first appeared) to be President of the United States. I do not recall one instance of Obama described accurately as “America’s first mixed-race President”, but only as “America’s first black President”…

There is a whole academic milieu in which it is regarded as axiomatic that “race is a social construct”. Such people have effectively lost touch with reality, as have those who have apparently almost convinced themselves that the Romans were black!

It brings to mind the “Russian” Revolution, which was partly-Russian in its first upsurge in Spring 1917, but simply a Jewish Bolshevik coup d’etat in October 1917 (old calendar).

Updated to 2018, we still see in the UK and elsewhere the fiction that the Jew “oligarchs” who “stole Russia” in the early 1990s (Berezovsky, Abramovitch etc) are “Russians”!

In fact, there are numerous other examples of where people, including the highly –superficially– educated prefer implausible unreality to reality. One, widespread in the UK, is that the country (and Europe as a whole) can accept unlimited millions of immigrants without any diminution in employment, pay, State benefits, pensions, road and rail services, school accessibility, NHS service etc etc.

I have thought a little about where this strange and widespread distortion of reality might have originated. There is the shifting of the ground of reality caused by theoretical physics over the past century. Then there is, more concretely, the “black propaganda” of the two world wars: in WW1, the British atrocity stories (Belgian nuns raped, babies stuck on German bayonets, bodies rendered down to make soap etc). Most of those stories were “recycled” more cleverly in WW2, so that, even today, many of the simpler people in the UK still believe that Jews were made into soap, their hair used to stuff Wehrmacht greatcoats (oh, yes, the German Army loved to stuff its cold-weather clothing with unwashed and lice-ridden hair from Jews!), their skin made into lampshades or tanned into leather upholstery for armchairs… and that is before we even get to the fabled “gas chambers” or the Munchausen-like tales of Elie Wiesel, Irene Zisblatt and hundreds of other proven fakes. The cartoon below illustrates well the situation.

AliceHolohoax

The story about the Emperor’s new clothes has become everyday reality in the UK and across the “West”: fail to at least pretend to believe that the “holocaust” narrative is true in all its details and numbers etc, fail to offer lip service to racial “equality” (eg IQ averages etc), fail to agree that a surgically-altered man is a woman, fail to praise the migration-invasion of Europe, fail to believe that Jews are a wonderful benefit to every nation, and you may well be in serious trouble, especially if you have or need a job or profession. You may even (like Alison Chabloz) find yourself convicted and sentenced accordingly.

Another example is the way in which the basically undemocratic and indeed tyrannical EU matrix is supported by and beloved of millions of deluded people (who often think themselves some kind of intellectual elite) and who regard the EU as a liberal bastion, despite its refusal to honour popular voting, despite its mediaeval-style “holocaust” “denial” laws and its other repressions.

No wonder that the msm is not believed, politicians are not believed, “fake news” becomes a major factor.

In any event, there is no doubt that unreality and the worship of falsity is in the ascendant. Lies are exalted and that means that Evil is exalted. This can have but one outcome.

Afterword

The above does not purport to be a comprehensive listing of all the instances or situations where people prefer comforting lies (unreality) to the more bracing truth (reality). One might cite, though, to provide two connected examples, academic award inflation and UK university degrees. These are important topics.

Originally, England had but one University (Oxford, founded, in origo, 1096). Later, Cambridge (1209) and others were founded: St. Andrew’s (in Scotland, founded 1413) and (in Ireland), Trinity College, Dublin (1592). Further university expansion occurred in later centuries, particularly in the 19thC.

These expansions of university education were all driven by reality, the need to provide better-educated leaders and specialists in government, industry, science etc.

The next great university-education expansion occurred after WW2. The so-called “red brick” universities. Snobs or people concerned about standards (usually the former), such as Kingsley Amis, proclaimed that “more will mean worse”. There is still debate about that, but the old phrase “six of one and half a dozen of another” probably covers it.

Even at that stage, meaning the 1960s, university expansion in the UK was still partly driven by reality, the more complex post-WW2 society needing more people with high or higher levels of education. In fact, standards were still fairly high. Anyone who looks at the old “O” and “A” Level papers (and “S” Levels, a fortiori) from the 1950s and 1960s, even 1970s, then compares them to today’s equivalent papers can see that most UK school exams have, indisputably, become easier over the past 60 years.

The cracks in the university system which started to show in the 1960s widened thereafter. Tony Blair, the fount of so much badness in the UK, finally cracked the whole system open by allowing virtually any institution to call itself a “university” and to issue (mediaeval concept in any case) “degrees”. Now, pretty much any Tom, Dick or Sharon can get a “degree” at “uni” in some such subject as Hotels and Hospitality, Travel and Tourism, Gender Studies, Third World Studies etc. The more traditional subjects have also been dumbed-down hugely, so that about half the students now (since about 1997) “achieve” a “First”, and hardly anyone gets less than an Upper Second. As for getting a Third or a Pass degree, or even failing the exams, well, short of absenteeism or mental breakdown— impossible. Result? Degrees are now almost worthless and you only have to look at some Oxbridge graduates to see that the problem is not confined to those attending the less-prestigious institutions.

Still, most people like the unreality better than reality: students have an easier life and almost all “achieve” high marks, their teachers like the fact that they “achieve” such high numbers of high-achieving students, the institutions like the same, as does government. The statistics look great! Only thing is, this is largely unreality, a mirage.

Update, 23 November 2018

Below, a thread from Twitter which exposes the contemporary madness richly. For some of these lunatics (and I have seen nonsense of this sort on Twitter etc even from an NHS psychiatrist, one who espouses the “race is a social construct” garbage), reality does not exist except as a subjective wish-list. For them, if an African man of 70 wants to be a European woman of 30, then fine, that’s what he —sorry, “she”— is, and anyone dissenting is “guilty” of “hate speech” or “hate thought” (?) and must be punished. Even George Orwell could never have foreseen this!

Another aspect (again, see the thread…and read the whole thread by clicking on one of the tweets below) is that truth alone is not enough for many, but has to appeal to people via a kind of “support the self-styled victims” argument, as in “don’t discuss whether men can just decide that they are women, but discuss whether their doing that makes [real] women victims” (etc).

The depths of the socio-political madness can be gauged by a look at some of the tweets above, such as the one directly above by tweeter [at time of writing called] “AnarchoCatgirl”. In the old joke, if she is interested, I believe that I can offer her London Bridge at a very reasonable price!

In fact, it is interesting that it is mostly the firmest feminists who have bridled at this whole “transpeople” nonsense and reality-distortion. Feminists may not know much (in some cases) but they do know what is a woman and what is not a woman:

Update, 13 December 2018

Looks as though others are in agreement with me: see this, written in typically-convoluted Jewish-academic style, and from a different ideological direction than my own, but attacking the same sort of madness:

The End of Traditional Civil Rights?

Update, 16 December 2018

The madness continues. Sometimes I feel that the only way to deal with these and other issues in the UK will be “non-peaceful” somewhere not far down the line. It may or may not be so, but I myself feel it strongly. Does that mean that it is true?

More madness (see below):

Below: someone called Marc, on Twitter, tries to stand up for truth and logic but is criticized by trans-“woman” Tara Hewitt, a half-crazed creature from the UK North West who, years ago, trolled me on Twitter, and who, supporting Scameron and Osborne’s “austerity” nonsense-economics, wanted to become a “Conservative” MP, despite “her” risibly poor educational level…

More of Tara Hewitt’s nonsense…

Again…thank God this creature never got anywhere politically. She seems to be anti-Conservative Party now. Pass the sour grapes.

More evidence that the UK police see their role not as traditional police (keeping the public safe, investigating real crime etc) but as being a kind of poundland KGB, “investigating” peoples’s opinions and then going on to repress freedom of expression, even travelling long distances to harass or intimidate people suspected of holding or expressing the “wrong” views about society…

Another example…

Seems that the police have no “shortage” of personnel or other “resources” when it comes to their playing at being a poundland KGB…

…and the madness continues…

More madness, and more madness from Sweden, which is intent on committing national suicide (or should that read “murder”?):

Below: the prophet speaks: great classic writer G.K. Chesterton foresaw today’s social madness…

More madness. The West seems intent on self-destruction…

and yet more of the madness…

and yet more madness…

Have we reached peak madness, socially? Every time I think that the answer must surely, this time, be “yes”, the madness gets worse…

Update, 8 November 2019

The madness spreads to organizations such the the Girl Guides. Guides, Scouts, other charities (real or fake), you name it, they are all full, at higher levels, of termites who are traitors to society, evil killers of our future, Common Purpose conspirators etc:

This is not “a victimless crime”, not merely a debate in an ivory tower. Think about the 6-y-o girl who has been abused and traumatized by some teenage nut because he, said nut, wants to identify as “she”. In the future, the Third Reich will have to be revisited.

Even the academic standing against some of the madness, one Kathleen Stock, is compelled or impelled to defend truth not by saying simply “A is TRUE, B is UNTRUE”, but by entering into long philosophical and sociological exegesis. Telling…

Some of the “trans” people and extreme responses to those tweets are so off the wall that you wonder whether what is required is a psychiatrist or a machine-gun.

Time to recall the old saying “those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad”. This society is running on empty.

The writer of the piece below was rude to me on Twitter, and applauded my getting expelled from in 2018, so it would be natural to put “the finger” up to him, but the topic is important, even if he himself is a flawed messenger (and I do not recall the exact details— he is not important enough for that):

“The panel said only views akin to Nazism or totalitarianism were unworthy of protections for rights of freedom of expression and thought..” Seems that the Indian in charge thinks that National Socialism is just too true!

So the madness continues apace…

…but even now the Daily Mail calls the rapist “she”, and “her”…

Update, 2 February 2025

The madness carries over into other socio-political areas, such as the immigration “debate”, aka migration-invasion:

My blog post (another one that has had to be added to via updates over the years) about the links connecting Jew-Zionism, “antifa” nonsense, and mental illness, has proven popular:

The insanity continues. The Daily Mirror insists on calling a mentally-disturbed man a “woman”

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/woman-who-smeared-faeces-nursery-35698025

[According to the Daily Mirror, that is “a woman”…]

Mad (both the scribblers and the crazie himself).

As for that crazy bastard, put it up in front of a wall and eliminate it.
