Talking point

I was just looking at a blog post from 2017, which received a couple of hits yesterday. I think that its message is still correct in 2025:

Wait a minute…I may have hit upon a use for some of the unwanted elements of our present society (with apologia to Marx).

Talking point

Another old blog post, this one from 2018, which had a few hits this morning:

Israeli war crimes.

Jew-Zionist organizations and individuals in the UK, and non-Jews who are pro-Israel (e.g. Starmer-stein and his misgovernment) are supporting Israeli Jews and the Israeli state in what is happening, and has been happening, in Gaza and the West Bank. They are complicit; therefore they are guilty.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/aug/16/nigel-farage-adviser-uk-would-be-better-off-if-it-had-not-fought-nazi-germany

An adviser used by Nigel Farage and others in Reform UK to boost their social media popularity has suggested that Britain would be better off had it stayed neutral in the second world war instead of fighting Nazi Germany.

Jack Anderton, who ran Farage’s hugely successful TikTok account before helping Luke Campbell become the Reform mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, also said the UK should not support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.

Alternative history is interesting; if Britain had not fought in WW1 and WW2, it would not have had to rely on America for economic support, and it would have had the independence to act accordingly. Britain could have developed India, Cyprus, Fiji, Malta, Saint Lucia, Seychelles, the Bahamas, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand. In the coming meritocracy, perhaps Britain could regain some of these nations.”

The same post also argues against providing support for Ukraine after Russia’s invasion: “We are sending billions of pounds (that we cannot afford) to prop up a country that we have no allegiance to. Russia is not our enemy, they have not attacked Britain.

Good to see that some young people are starting to think outside the box.

Au contraire. The young man is on the right track.

As the opinion polls presently stand, that Hollinrake idiot [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Hollinrake] has every chance of losing his seat to Reform UK. As to the lady tweeter, she seems to think that a pointless and terrible war (on the Western front etc) which destroyed half of Europe and lost us the British Empire, as well as making Brits poverty-stricken for 15-20 years, was something good.

There really is something disgusting about all the System “shills”, such as Jukes, ganging up on Lucy Connolly, an ordinary provincial woman without wealth or power, overwhelmed by the fake “counter-terror” juggernaut running her down and crushing her.

Yes, she probably did squirm and try to escape her unmerited fate by inventing this or that story, but she pleaded guilty (I think mistakenly) and, instead of issuing her with a conditional discharge and allowing her to return home (no doubt grateful and chastened) to her unwell husband and two little daughters, the legal system or “justice” system (?) imprisoned her for not far short of 3 years (even if it now seems that she may soon be released after having served just over 1 year).

Erudite, narrowly but expensively educated appeal judges have pronounced upon her, dissected her legally, and put System control above individual justice.

Lucy Connolly can, in my view, certainly be regarded as a victim of the emergent UK police state and what the Chinese used to call “running dogs” of the same. There is something of bullying and concerted victimization about the way this woman has been treated.

It is easy to be wise after the event(s). Lucy Connolly should, of course, have refused to be interviewed by police, or given a “no comment” interview. I do not know whether she had a solicitor from the beginning.

I can see (based on what I think were the facts) that she was not well-advised. In the event, she was not (I believe) even given bail pending trial; if so, a ridiculous, very harsh, totally unnecessary, and totally political or politically-aware decision.

It is clear that Starmer-stein’s Cabinet were all panicking a year ago. They could see the possibility of their beloved vision of a multikulti “non-racist”, non-white England or Britain literally going up in smoke, and in flames. Hence the Draconian penalties visited upon some unfortunate and (as the “liberal” Observer/Guardian etc types no doubt saw with enjoyment) plebeian protesters and tweeters.

Well, the protests were, temporarily, stopped, but the migration invasion has continued, and at a pace even greater than in 2024.

What has gone up in flames, along with the multikulti “refugees welcome” fantasies of the likes of Jukes, Jonathan Portes, Zoe Gardner etc, is the popularity of the Starmer-stein government of incompetent “Friends of Israel”. Only about 20% of potential voters at the next general election are presently intending to vote Labour, and I doubt whether that will increase by very much.

The above clowns typify the System view of the Ukraine conflict. EU bureaucrat/politico Verhofstadt wants EU taxpayers to fund Zelensky’s war and shambolic dictatorship endlessly, while that Greek wants EU states to take an active part in the war, sending troops to fight there.

Some people in Western Europe just have a death wish.

Incidentally, as far as British troops are concerned, how long does would-be statesman and pathetic incompetent, Starmer, imagine that our soldiers would last, even under the “peacekeepers” label? Not long if and when any ceasefire ends. The Kiev regime is losing 1,000-3,000 soldiers (pressganged civilians kidnapped off the streets) daily (killed, badly wounded, or captured). Britain’s whole —front-line and battle-ready— Army seems to number about 15,000. If that. About 2-6 weeks’ supply, then…

Starmer is a complete idiot to want to get further involved in Ukraine, a fake state, completely corrupt, and with which the UK has effectively no commonality of history or interest.

Stray thought

It made me laugh to read that the ludicrous one-time, would-be, Scottish “national leader”, Nicola Sturgeon, is thinking of relocating to, of all places, London, the centre of the (SNP fantasy) “Sassenach” oppressors! Reminded me of when stupid Honecker eventually fled from the collapsed DDR to, of all places, hated post-“fascist” Chile, and was granted asylum there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Honecker.

Like so many types associated with the present-day Conservative Party, it is uncertain whether Houchen was (or is) corrupt, or whether he was (or is) simply incompetent and stupid. Maybe a blend of both. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Houchen,_Baron_Houchen_of_High_Leven

I once heard Ben Houchen on the radio. Quite impressive. In fact, more so than most “dirty democratic politicians“, as Hitler termed them. However, I have found in my life that, usually, the most impressive-seeming people are “all hat and no cattle“, in the Texan phrase.

I think that I must pen, sometime, a little monograph, in the manner of Sherlock Holmes, but not about types of cigar ash; about impressive-seeming people and how few of them achieve greatness or even adequacy.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, during an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson , the recording of which was published on the TCN (Tucker Carlson Network) website on February 9, said that Ukraine is an artificially created republic that appeared in 1922 during the formation of the USSR.

When forming the Soviet Union – this is already 1922 – the Bolsheviks began to form the USSR and created a Soviet Ukraine, which did not exist until now. At the same time, [Joseph] Stalin insisted that these republics that were being formed should be included as autonomous entities,” Putin said.

Russia wants to achieve a settlement in Ukraine through negotiations, the Russian leader said in an interview. He expressed confidence that both countries “sooner or later” will be able to reach an agreement. Putin said Ukraine refused to negotiate with Russia “on instructions from Washington,” adding that the decision was wrong and must now be corrected.

Putin said that Russia has not yet achieved its goals in Ukraine.

The West has already come to an understanding that it is impossible to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia; it will fight for its interests to the end. Vladimir Putin told American journalist Tucker Carlson about this.

Putin: The West fears a strong China more than a strong Russia because there are 150 million people in Russia, and one and a half billion in China, and the Chinese economy is developing by leaps and bounds – more than five percent a year, it was even more. But this is enough for China. Bismarck once said: the main thing is potentials. China’s potential is colossal; it is the first economy in the world today in terms of purchasing power parity and economic volume. They have already overtaken the United States for quite some time, and the pace is growing.

Russia is not interested in a war with Poland, Latvia or another country ; Moscow may consider sending troops in the event of an attack, Putin said. He emphasized that getting involved in a “global war” does not meet common sense.

All of those points can be found on this blog, in posts published over the past 2+ years.

There has not been such devastation, and deliberate devastation, since the Second World War.

I can think of a suitable cartoon to accompany that, but according to the police and CPS, and (after my recent magistrates’ court conviction) the Bench, that particular cartoon is both “antisemitic” and “grossly offensive” (because it is said to imply that Jews control the Press in the USA, UK etc), so I had better not publish it again…

Ukraine under the Jew Zelensky is a failed state, a fake state, and a gangster state, a brutal, shambolic and corrupt dictatorship.

What about the Jewish lobby fifth column embedded at the heart of government in the USA (and UK)?

I might find it hilarious that the USA is now at least notionally ruled by a demented old fellow who can scarcely remember his own name or what day of the week it is, were it not for the danger that his actions might trigger a nuclear war.

Saw a Twitter/X account from a young woman (I think) whose profile starts with “Inspiring writer” (presumably she means “Aspiring writer“). She (?) has a steep hill to climb, I think…

It is literally a prison planet.” Former Blackrock portfolio manager, Ed Dowd, explains why every last remnant of human freedom depends on widespread rejection of CBDC. “Once the central bank digital currency is linked to all your credit cards and bank accounts, then social controls can be implemented. If you’re a dissenter like me, talking about truth, they shut you down.

Democracies“? Ha ha…

It was yesterday, but I thought it worthwhile to repost that.

It’s “panicdemic“, and/or “scamdemic“…

Good man” is debatable. After all, “no-one can rule guiltlessly” [Saint-Just], but Putin is certainly at least as good a man as those opposing him, both here and in Russia itself.

People usually want things to be black-and-white, simple. Not everything is black-and-white. Look at modern history. There were people, some people, in the SS and even, rather later, in the KGB and GRU, who meant well, were relatively honourable, and who might be described in the superficial sense as “good” people, and there were those in the USA and UK, and also in the internal opposition(s) to both National Socialist and Soviet socialist rule, who were rather “bad” people.

If life is a chess game, it is often “three-dimensional chess”.

Wall. Squad. End.

It seems to me —as far as I have read etc— that Israel is now quite centralized on Tel Aviv and its region, though the Jerusalem area has as many or more inhabitants. The economy is centred on that region. The Israeli state can absorb a certain amount of conflict in border areas (Gaza, the Golan Heights and Northern Israel, even the West Bank), so long as the central belt around Tel Aviv is still functioning.

The increasing capabilities of Hezbollah, especially what seems to be their fast-upgraded missile programme, threaten Tel Aviv and the surrounding region. The Israeli ruling circles are therefore probably contemplating a massive attack on southern Lebanon to destroy the Hezbollah infrastructure before missiles of real power rain down on Tel Aviv.

The Israelis are willing to take a hit in terms of international perception of Israel, a public relations hit, and also an economic hit, so long as that Hezbollah infrastructure can be at least badly damaged.

Were Hezbollah or other powers able to heavily damage Tel Aviv itself, the Israeli economy would tank, and the exodus (?) of dual-passport Jews from Israel —30,000+ since October 2023— would become a flood.
