Diary Blog, 20 June 2025: Israel, Iran, possible world war etc

Israel, the leech-state…

Mostly Jews, many of them with dual nationality. They support Israel fanatically, in many/most cases. They made the bed, so let them lie on it…

Whatever happens in the next months, in the long term Israel is doomed.

This is a modern-day version of Old Testament ethnic cleansing. Look at the religion of the Jews; several of their religious festivals refer to military victories, execution of “antisemitic” rulers or advisers etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism#Jewish_holidays

The Gaza quasi-genocide has exposed the Israeli Jews not only for what they have done but for what they are, at least as a collective.

I prefer peace to war, but just as there are, in ordinary life, some individual people, lunatics, psychopaths etc, who will not stop, and cannot be stopped, not by ordinary peaceful means, so there are some states which just go too far…

Most mainstream politicians in the USA, UK, France etc are in the pocket of Jewish-Zionist or directly Israeli orgs. Look at Starmer-stein’s horrible yet pathetic UK government— almost entirely composed of Labour Friends of Israel members. Starmer. Rachel Reeves. Yvette Cooper. Liz Kendall. Dozens of others.

The same is true of most of the mainstream media.

Cleverly’s suit is not as striking (neither is it as good or as well-made) as the off-white/cream suit I had made at Sam’s Tailor in Hong Kong in 2006. Perhaps not a good choice, though, for the UK. I have only worn it a couple of times, once on a very hot and sunny day in 2023 when I had to attend Southampton “Mags” on a preliminary appearance to do with my free speech trial: see

The (all black) security staff loved my white suit as I walked in, which must say something! In fact, a rather nice black girl (security guard) was particularly complimentary.

[“Did you know that after the Macron “Rothschild” Olympics’ blasphemous re-enactment of the Last Supper, the first country to defend Christianity and condemn it was Iran? It was not the USA, Britain, Italy, or Israel. In Tehran a billboard went up, with these words: “Indeed, the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Son of Mary, is a messenger of God.”]

The Muslims, at least the educated ones, revere Jesus Christ as a prophet (though not, of course, as divine).

As to Macron, his links to Jew-Zionism were explored several years ago on the blog:

In the midst of life, we are in death“…

Media vita in morte sumus.

Whether death comes to us via natural causes, by an accident or other violent event limited in scale, or via a gigantic human conflict, we are all on the same journey.

And rival storms abroad are surging
From sea to land, from land to sea.
A chain of deepest action forging
Round all, in wrathful energy.
There flames a desolation, blazing
Before the Thunder’s crashing way:
Yet, Lord, Thy messengers are praising
The gentle movement of Thy Day.

[Goethe, Faust; Archangel Michael, from the Prologue in Heaven]

Russia or, rather, the Russian people, will eventually, in about 1,500 years, become the leading edge of the world, just as the Germanic/Anglo-American element now is. That may be why Russia cannot be successfully invaded from west or east (as in the cases of Napoleon and Hitler). The double-headed eagle looks both east and west at the same time.

Russia is not really either European or Asian, but sui generis.

There you are. That is the face of the UK armed forces in 2025. “Equality”, “diversity”, “best practice” in admin etc. Useless, in short.

Also, someone cannot spell (it’s “practices” in this case, not “practises“, unless, as a kind of American colony, we should all be writing in American English).

Still, when many “journalists” cannot spell, or write decently, why should some M.O.D. bod be any better?

I cannot know, but do suspect, that similar situations exist in the Army and Navy, and also in SIS/MI6 and MI5 (and, of course, in the police and CPS).

I cannot get too worked up about the Brize Norton attack, because for me the invasion of the UK is happening in small boats across the Channel, via “legal” immigration, and via births. I do not take “Britain’s defensive capability” against the (non-existent) “Russian threat” seriously, not in the slightest. Russia is only bristling because the UK is taking pointless and self-harming measures against Russia in the first place. We should be in loose alliance with Russia.

Having said that, it is clear that serious attackers, such as Spetsnaz commandos, would have no difficulty causing absolute havoc on such bases, should they ever be tasked with doing so.

The RAF Regiment usually defends RAF bases. What went wrong?

Britain’s dying rivers, and the need for new reservoirs

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/20/england-rivers-water-extraction-record-levels

Our rivers are under threat,” said Nick Measham, the chief executive of the conservation charity WildFish. “We are putting extra demands on water resources when the rivers are running dry. When it does rain after persistent dry periods, we often return our water polluted, which means that river habitats for animals and plants are in serious trouble.”

[Guardian]

Of course, the increase in population by reason of mass immigration is largely the cause. 56M when I was born (1956), and perhaps (no-one really knows) 70M today.

Moscow in 2025

As I said the other day on the blog, on my own visits to Moscow (1993 and 2007) I really did miss out!

More seriously, I can see that Moscow has changed radically in the past 18 years, let alone the past 32…

As for Petersburg, I have never been there, and it is one of a handful of cities which I have both never visited and which I might like to visit.

Outsourced to SERCO“? Well, that might explain a lot…

Powerful.

[“Russian President Putin: – We do not want to mediate between Iran and “Israel”, but we propose ideas for resolving the conflict. – I am concerned that the world is heading towards World War III. – We support Iran in the fight for its legitimate interests, including peaceful nuclear energy. – Trump promised us that he would support our demands regarding the safety of Russian personnel at the Iranian facility “Bushehr”.”]

My own preference would be to deprive both Jews and Muslims of having nuclear weapons, but the Jews already have them, and with no international oversight at all.

God. Look at that thug…

During the hot dry months of summer, Russian forces will continue to advance, and may well make major breakthroughs.

If so, Tel Aviv will before very long be a hole in the sand, just like Gaza.

Jew interferes with German TV crew in Israel.

A dustbin, like much of the UK now.

“Manifestos”— just part of the System conjuring show.

[“What you are currently witnessing in the UK is the end destination of “radical progressivism” —a political ideology that wants to tear down all guardrails in society It wants to breakdown our national borders through state subsidised illegal immigration It wants to breakdown our right to life and family by decriminalising abortion until birth and launching state-backed euthanasia It wants to breakdown our sense of community and belonging through a deliberate state policy of mass immigration and multiculturalism It wants to breakdown our national identity by convincing you that Britishness and Englishness are merely “celebrating diversity” so you have no identity of your own It wants to breakdown our sense of history and collective memory by launching a war on the past, reframing our history as a source of racism, colonialism, and shame And it wants to enforce this agenda by expanding hate laws, speech codes, and taboos like “far right”, “Islamophobia”, “racism”, and “hate” so that any viable political opposition is shut down and stigmatised as beyond the pale This is what is happening in the UK right now —a radical “progressive” project that is being imposed on you from above by a distant managerial class which likes to think of itself as “liberal”, “open”, and “enlightened” but is dogmatic, authoritarian and deeply intolerant of alternative perspectives. All this project has to offer you is hyper-individualism, endless choice, and sexual narcissism, as symbolised by the rise of Only Fans, while all the guardrails that once gave us structure, meaning, security and a genuine sense of belonging collapse all around us. This is what is happening in the UK right now. It’s why you can sense that unavoidable vacuum, that hole, that sense of emptiness when you look at what has become of our once great nation and community.“]

Goodwin, however, and very typically, refuses to “notice” which “element” (((element))) is behind most of that, if you dig deep enough.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week I return to winning form: 8/10, compared to the 6/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 7 and 10.

Cameron-Levita in his usual bubble of total unreality. The idiot who brought us the war on Gaddafi (result— millions of Africans flooding Europe), fake “austerity” (result— misery for millions, as well as lower economic growth than anywhere in the then EU, USA etc), and other misconceived policy choices, most recently the increased support for the brutal and shambolic dictatorship of Zelensky in Kiev.

Ursula Haverbeck— arguably the bravest person in Europe.

She thinks that she is terribly clever, and making the old lady seem outdated, “bigoted”, “gammon” etc. Ha. Laugh now if you want to…

The pendulum may start to swing back now that pine martens are being reintroduced in several parts of the country; pine martens prey on grey squirrels but not (much) on red squirrels.

The Tories are unlikely to attract many Reform UK voters given…

– Only 36% would vote Tory if a Reform UK candidate wasn’t standing

– 61% are voting Reform despite thinking they won’t win in their seat

– 75% say the Tories and Labour are as bad as each other

– 74-76% dislike Rishi Sunak and the party.

Desperate. I had not heard of that MP. Looks a bit of a careerist; tried to become a Police and Crime Commissioner at one point (came third in the election): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Moore_(MP).

Keighley has, with 2 exceptions, been a “bellwether” constituency since 1959, so is likely to fall to Labour this time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keighley_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

I cannot think that those attempts at confusing the voters (of High Peak and also Keighley) will work. After all, most people vote according to party label, so when the voter is faced with a ballot paper, the “X” is placed by the party more than the candidate’s name.

I have to admit that the Italian woman “brushes up well”, as they say…

Clacton

Had to look that one up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakanda.

Jovan Owusu-Nepaul, Labour candidate, seems to come out of a black activist (African; Ghanaian) background in Nottingham: see https://heartofthenation.migrationmuseum.org/stories/sylvia-owusu-nepaul/.

About 25. Never had a non-political job, in fact has never had any job except a couple of p/t “internships”. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovan-owusu-nepaul-3a95b17b/.

The candidate’s aunt has also been socio-politically active: see https://gala.gre.ac.uk/id/eprint/7138/1/Owusu-Kwarteng_Between_Two_Lives_2010.pdf.

This Labour candidate is a kind of less-prominent Femi Oluwole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole

Labour has, since 2010, when the present constituency of Clacton was established, never scored higher than 25.4% of the votes cast there; that was in 2017. The lowest was 11.2%, at the by-election of that year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clacton_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

Labour has no chance at Clacton, a famously “left behind” and white British area. To choose an African “eternal student” as candidate is almost insulting to the voters there. Moreover, one whose social media posts make clear his hostility to the real people of the UK.

Despite Labour’s overall “popularity by default” in the nationwide campaign, I should not be surprised if its vote-share at Clacton were to dip below 10%.

The frightening thing is not that such a candidate is standing in Clacton, where Labour has little or no chance; it is that, across the country, similarly-hostile individuals are likely to be elected next month for Labour. God help the poor English people of these islands.

Not quite what I want to see: too many Con MPs. A couple of unexpected wrinkles too, such as Reform UK with 7 seats, and the SNP with 37, more than twice the number predicted elsewhere.

While the Con Party is toast pretty much whatever happens between now and 4 July, in some respects the General Election is quite open. A substantial minority are either undecided as to for which party they might vote, or are undecided as to whether to bother to vote at all.

That may mean a better than expected Con Party performance, a better than expected Labour (or even LibDem) performance but, most intriguingly, perhaps an even better than expected Reform UK vote, either as a targeted anti-Con vote, as a serious “I am dissatisfied” protest vote, or an angry “F.U., System parties!” vote.

The election is shaping up to be both interesting and important, perhaps even historic.

So will you, probably!

As people, from what I have seen online etc, ex-officer Mercer and his lady wife seem like a pleasant couple, but we are talking serious politics here.

Mercer has increased his majority steadily and considerably since first elected in 2015, but the general unpopularity of his party, his poor performance as a minister, and his personal moneygrasping would seem to leave him exposed. Also, Reform UK may well eat into his 2019 vote. Well, we shall soon know.

*Und Stürme brausen um die Wette
Vom Meer aufs Land vom Land aufs Meer,
Und bilden wüthend eine Kette
Der tiefsten Wirkung rings umher.
Da flammt ein blitzendes Verheeren
Dem Pfade vor des Donnerschlags.
Doch deine Boten, Herr, verehren
Das sanfte Wandeln deines Tags.
