“I hope that the poor saps who criticize me occasionally on Twitter are noting how often I have been proven right since I started writing this blog nearly 4 years ago. I was blogging over a year ago, maybe longer, about how almost everyone, misled by the msm, was thinking of Boris Johnson as a strong leader-type, when his whole history shows the reverse, a weak man without ideas, principles or resilience, untrustworthy, incompetent and without leadership qualities.”
[my own words, published on this blog 5 years ago, in September 2020, during the “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic. Was I right about Johnson, or not?]

“Israel”, both in the Middle East and in the rest of the world, including the UK, must indeed be “stopped”…
Looks as if those in power in Poland really want their country to be flattened (again).

“An asylum seeker who entered the UK illegally has been jailed for raping a woman in London’s Hyde Park.
Abdelrahmen Adnan Abouelela, 42, was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison for the rape, which happened in November last year.
The married father-of-one approached the victim as she was walking home alone from a night-out in central London at about 9pm and lured her to a secluded spot in the park where he raped her, Southwark Crown Court was told on Tuesday.
“You thought absolutely nothing of her,” judge Gregory Perrins told the defendant, whose address was given as a Hilton hotel in Ealing, west London.
“It must have been obvious to you that she was a woman under the influence of alcohol who was alone and vulnerable. You made the decision to take advantage of her vulnerability.”

Brits leaving Britain, other Europeans leaving Britain, only the non-Europeans arriving in Britain, and in vast numbers.
(been there, done that…see above).
Maybe.
Probably. At least Zelensky and his cabal are no longer claiming that their forces will advance deep into Russia. That fantasy, at least, has gone.
More Starmer-stein fantasy geopolitics. Britain’s depleted armed forces cannot even defend the south coast of the UK against backward hordes in rubber boats…and do we really care whether China pressures —or even invades— the bloody Philippines?
Farage more popular than both Starmer and Kemi Badenoch. Significant.
Also significant.
It seems unlikely to me that Israel would attack Turkey directly. After all, much of Israel’s oil supply comes via Turkey. Turkey could simply stop shipping the oil the last short leg to Haifa or elsewhere, which would cause an immediate crisis in Israel.
Apart from that, Turkey, though not a nuclear power, has very strong conventional forces, including hypersonic missiles. See the Google/AI analysis:
“Key Organizations and Programs
- Roketsan: The primary defense company responsible for developing and producing Turkey’s rocket and missile systems, including the Tayfun and Bora (Khan) families.
- Tayfun Missile Family: Includes the Tayfun Block-4, Turkey’s first hypersonic ballistic missile, designed to destroy strategic targets.
- Yıldırım IV Missile Program: An initiative to develop a longer-range medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) capable of reaching targets across the Middle East and parts of Europe.
- Bora/Khan Missile: The predecessor to the Tayfun, it serves as the backbone of Turkey’s short-range ballistic missile capability.
- GÖKTUĞ Program: A project to develop indigenous air-to-air missiles, the Merlin (Bozdoğan) and Peregrine (Gökdoğan), to replace existing U.S. models.
Key Capabilities and Future Outlook
- Hypersonic Technology: Turkey has entered the hypersonic missile domain with the Tayfun Block-4.
- Long-Range Ballistic Missiles: The development of systems like the Tayfun and Yıldırım IV demonstrates a push for longer-range strategic capabilities.
- Space Launch Capabilities: Roketsan is developing a satellite launch vehicle, the Simsek-2, to place satellites in orbit.
- Indigenous Development: Turkey’s defense industry is rapidly advancing, with the goal of becoming a national and global leader in rocket and missile technology.

I think that, in the back of the Turkish mind is the knowledge that much of the Middle East was merely a part of the Ottoman Empire, and not so long ago— until 1922, little more than a century ago.
The Turkish armed forces comprise as many as 500,000 men altogether, of which maybe 400,000 are Army personnel. That army has well over 2,000 main battle tanks. The Turkish air force is likewise large and being upgraded.
Overall, the forces at the command of the Turkish government match those of Israel (leaving aside the Israeli nuclear weapons). The Israeli nightmare scenario would be a multifront war against, simultaneously, the largest or most powerful regional states: Turkey and Iran, in particular.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Anyone facilitating it will one day be put up against a wall.
Myerson should never have been placed, even though very briefly, on the Bench as a Recorder (part-time judge); thankfully, his behaviour ensured that he was removed in ignominy before very long.
Myerson’s sworn testimony in the case of Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor was disbelieved by the trial judge.
Moses brought down commandments including “Thou shalt not bear false witness” for a reason— many Jews are perjurers, and were, even thousands of years ago.
What a disgusting “cuck”! Absolute disgrace.
“Not Proven”
I was rather disappointed to see that the “Not Proven” verdict, available in Scottish criminal courts, is to be abolished. I have always thought it a good thing that a Scottish jury can decide that, in effect, they suspect that the defendant probably did whatever he/she is charged with but that the evidence did not support a “Guilty” verdict on the basis of beyond a reasonable doubt.
I should have liked to have seen the “Not Proven” introduced to English courts too. So much for that…
