A thought out of season

I was just thinking, admittedly not in a very original way, about how time flies. It is now nearly a year, about 11 months, since my day of trial on free speech issues (in November 2023), and it is already 7 months even since I was sentenced (mid-March 2024).

All water under the bridge. My pointless “15 rehabilitation days” turned out to be about half a dozen meetings lasting from half an hour each to a couple of hours or so, and the meetings have now been deemed completed; as to the (rather unfair) financial impost of £734, that was one-third crowdfunded, and the rest paid off in monthly instalments. All done. All finished.

For those unacquainted with the details, see:

Despite the behaviour of malicious Jew-Zionists, the dim and/or suborned police, and the antics of the “Clown” Prosecution Service, the blog has continued to be published almost daily since then. The legal position, to date, has not changed.

Very nearly 8 years of both telling the truth and suggesting policy.

Israel committed a horrific massacre by bombing the TENTS of displaced Palestinians in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs HOSPITAL in the central Gaza Strip. Civilians were burned alive. That’s right. The grandchildren of Holocaust survivors burnt children alive.”

BREAKING: A man, woman and a little girl captured burning alive after Israel bombed tents sheltering displaced civilians in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa martyrs hospital in Deir Al-Balah, Central Gaza.

After that real “holocaust” in Gaza, the peoples of the world no longer want to listen to the contrived “holocaust” narrative of the Jew-Zionists, constantly trotted out by them (and their Western dupes and agents) to excuse their usually-terrible behaviour.

No response from the UK’s “Labour Friends of Israel” misgovernment (Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc).

A man, woman and a little girl captured burning alive after Israel bombed tents sheltering displaced civilians in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa martyrs hospital in Deir Al-Balah, Central Gaza.

One of the biggest support-pillars of the Israeli state is the worldwide web of Zionist supporters and enablers, funnelling money and arms, manipulating politics and, especially, the mainstream media, the law and legal system in Western jurisdictions, and so on. In the USA, Canada, Australia, France, the UK etc.

I have often found that to be true.

What will expiate the guilt, and the consequent group-karmic burden, of the Zionists?

…and 90% or more will be “processed” and then allowed to stay here. Odds-on.

SS United States to become an artificial reef

https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/24649060.historic-ss-united-states-sunk-become-coral-reef/

A historic ocean liner which regularly docked in Southampton will soon be sunk and turned in the world’s largest coral reef.

For 17 years the SS United States powered through the Atlantic waves making constant journeys between New York and Southampton.

When the ship first came to the city in 1952, she drew in crowds of almost 70,000 as it was the fastest in the world at the time.

Now, after a years-long legal debate over its future, the iconic ocean liner is set to make its final voyage.

SS United States will be submerged off the Florida coast where it is expected to create the world’s largest artificial coral reef.

I have actually been on the SS United States, though not as a passenger.

In the mid-1960s, my parents were friendly with an American family who lived not far down the same road in Caversham Heights (near Reading). They had two children, a boy about the same age as me (about 8), whose name I do not remember, and a pretty dark-haired girl, maybe the same age, called Carla (I had never heard the name Carla before). I went to their house a couple of times for birthday parties.

Americans were rather an exotic species in the England of the early/mid 1960s, and seen mainly on TV, though my parents had known a number when they lived for a year, a few years before I was born, near the Greenham Common air base near Newbury. Not very many Brits travelled to the USA as tourists in those days, either.

The father of that family was, we were told, a diplomat who worked for the U.S. Embassy in London, but in hindsight I think that his real job must have been some kind of intelligence and security posting involved either with the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston, southwest of Reading [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_Weapons_Establishment] or one of the atomic research locations in Oxfordshire [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_Energy_Research_Establishment].

I cannot see any other reason why an American diplomat or other embassy employee would be living in, indeed beyond, Reading, 40 miles west of London. As to why they lived in that specific neighbourhood, I think that is easier to answer. It was (and still is) the best neighbourhood in the Reading area.

The father of that family must have been quite high-ranking. When my family went to wave them goodbye at Southampton (maybe 1965), we were allowed aboard the United States, and they had a suite in First Class (I now see, having read Wikipedia, that the liner had three classes of travel).

I still remember the main stateroom of their suite, the centre of the room taken up by a large circular polished wooden table, the centre of which had on it a huge bowl of flowers.

Nearly 60 years ago. I wonder where those Americans are now.

More information about the SS United States: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_United_States.

Incidentally, those artificial reefs created by sunken ships are a very good idea, begun many decades ago in the U.S., though more basic structures were known even in ancient times. It is a more complex operation than one would initially assume, though: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_reef. It is not simply a matter of sinking a ship.

Still no response from Mark Lewis, Patron Law or the Solicitors Regulation Authority about this.

Serious allegations have been made publicly about a solicitor that relate to the administration of justice. The allegations are met by a wall of silence from all concerned. Lewis himself seems unable to deny the allegations. What is going on? @MLewisLawyer @Patron_Law @sra_solicitors.”

[James Wilson]

I speculated months ago that the losing Jewish defendants in that case would probably end up suing Mark Lewis and/or Patron Law. Lewis is said to be a partner of Patron Law, yet himself has no assets in the England and Wales jurisdiction, so it may be that the losing defendants will have to sue both Lewis and Patron Law, but that Lewis will scuttle back to his flat in Eilat (Israel), leaving his co-partners at Patron Law to pick up the bill, assuming that they are found jointly and severally liable with Lewis.

I expect Lewis will get the push (not for the first time; other firms have sacked him in the past), at least from that small law firm, if not (also?) from the solicitors’ profession. After all, Lewis has been cheating and conning people for years, and also displaying both negligence and a serious deficit of ethics: see, e.g.

Formerly prolific on Twitter/X, Lewis has now not posted on the site for 6-7 weeks.

This is how the power of Zionism operates. It penetrates institutions via personnel and finance, sure, but effects like this depend on its ideological power to convince and intimidate individuals in institutions. This has the result that they, (very possibly) quite independently, take on the role of punishing critics of the genocidal Zionist entity. This is why we don’t just need to collapse and remove the colony in Palestine, but also wage a generational war against the Zionist movement in the UK and in many other nations worldwide.”

The Bar of England and Wales, for example, is thoroughly “infested” now.

I have written in the past about that nasty little sex pest and depressive case:

Nick Griffin

Disturbed to see that the @NickGriffinBU Twitter/X account, while nominally still there, seems to have had all its tweets removed. I have no idea whether Twitter/X did it at the instigation of “the usual suspects”, or whether Griffin himself has done it. I also have no idea when it happened, having not looked at the account for weeks, if not months.

Whatever is said about Griffin, he was the most successful and high-profile social nationalist of the period 1990-2010. He managed to get himself elected as an MEP (along with Andrew Brons), and is still pretty much the only social nationalist whose name is known to most people in the UK.

I do not say that I have agreed with everything said or done by Griffin, and have never met or communicated with him (beyond having posted a few of his tweets on the blog; he also retweeted me a couple of times when —pre-2019— I still had a Twitter account); but I regard him as, at root, a good fellow, and staunch under State repression (as when he was prosecuted). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Griffin.

Incidentally, I see that he is only 2.5 years younger than me; I had thought quite a few years younger, maybe 7-8, even 10 years, though for no particular reason. Never assume, I suppose.

Emily Thornberry, a lazy entitled “New Labour” hog. Married to a part-Jew, a member of Labour Friends of Israel, and a buy-to-let parasite (her property portfolio is worth about £10M), as well as, at least in the past, a massive expenses freeloader. Another mouthpiece for Israel and Jew-Zionism.

A core of post-Aryan Europeans, whether 100 million or 1 million or (after societal catastrophe) even as few as 1,000, must exist, as the basis for an ethnostate which can, in time, provide the foundation (perhaps only in hundreds or even thousands of years) for what might be termed a “super-race”, i.e. a quantum leap in the evolution of consciousness, after which that race will have all the technical knowledge of our day —and more— but will also have powers of mind amounting to what we today would call “magical powers”.

Diary Blog, 11 September 2024, including reminiscence about the “9/11” attack in 2001

Morning music

11 September 2001

Well, here we are again. On the “original” 11 September, meaning “9/11” 2001 (in the American format), I was in the back of a taxi driving down the Strand in London, with an American colleague. Mid-morning. He received a call from his wife in Charleston, South Carolina. Something about a plane crashing into the World Trade Center in Manhattan.

My colleague relayed the news to me, and the typically know-all London taxi driver told us that he already knew all about it.

My American colleague asked me where we could get to a TV. I replied that our office in London (off Berkeley Square in Mayfair) had one, but that there used to be a Dixons (electronics and home electrical goods store) in the Strand. We saw it, disembarked and went into that store. Hundreds of TV sets, all showing what looked like a disaster movie. A few customers wandering around, looking at the goods, seemingly unaware of the enormity of what was happening, vicariously, in front of them.

After about 10 minutes looking and listening, we left and went to my then office. The staff there were getting the latest on-the-ground and diplomatic news.

My American colleague was both grim and angry, and muttered something about how “we” should respond in the same way the Israelis always did. Needless to say, I disagreed, though as politely as I could. For one thing, the origins and motives of the perpetrators had not yet been established (he was saying that it must be the Iraqis, which of course turned out to be wrong). I do recall remarking that if a state was proven to have been behind the attack, then it was undoubtedly an act of war in terms of international law.

Of course, the 2001 WTC attack was used as the fuel for the American-led invasions of both Iraq and Afghanistan.

I well remember my American colleague’s anger, which I think was general across the USA, from what I not only saw on TV but also what I noted once or twice in the USA not long afterward; I flew to Washington about a week or so after the attacks.

I myself was relatively unemotional about it, despite the horrible images and evident suffering etc. That’s just me, I suppose. After all, many horrible things happen in the world, and the Americans themselves perpetrate quite a few of them. Having said that, the attack was an appalling outrage from almost any point of view.

Since then, of course, the Trade Center attack has spawned a hundred “conspiracy theories”, including the so-called “Dancing Israelis”: see https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12768362.five-israelis-were-seen-filming-as-jet-liners-ploughed-into-the-twin-towers-on-september-11-2001/.

That report is really worth reading. The Israeli intelligence connection to the “9/11” attack is more than a simple “conspiracy theory” that can be simply laughed off.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks_advance-knowledge_conspiracy_theories.

After the attacks on New York and Washington, the former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was asked what the terrorist strikes would mean for US-Israeli relations. He said: “It’s very good.” Then he corrected himself, adding: “Well, it’s not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy for Israel from Americans.”

[Herald Scotland]

As with the Kennedy assassination, some of the “9/11” conspiracy theories, mutually contradictory as some are, cannot be entirely discounted.

One thing that I found odd at the time was that members of the bin Laden family living in the USA at the time were flown out of US airspace on private jets only a day or two after the attacks (the Pentagon also having been hit), and authorized in person, it seems, by George W. Bush, the U.S. President, and at a time before ordinary commercial flights were allowed to resume.

Of course, since the attacks of 2001, the area of the attack has been redeveloped.

The original “Twin Towers” complex was a very powerful architectural statement, partly because of the two almost identical main buildings:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_(1973%E2%80%932001)

In fact, there were minor differences. I went up both towers. Once only, in 1989, onto the open observation deck of the South Tower:

…and also once only to the Hors d’Oeuvrerie and Cellar in the Sky near the top of the North Tower, where I enjoyed the view and a couple of glasses of Californian Chardonnay with my first wife, an employee of the Federal Government. That would have been in 1990 or 1991.

In fact, during the years 1989-1993 I was occasionally at the World Trade Center, but only because I sometimes used the PATH line from Newark (New Jersey) into Manhattan, a service that terminated either at the WTC or at 33rd Street/Herald Square in Midtown (I more often went to Midtown).

The rebuilt area is still quite striking but perhaps not quite so much as the original:

Incidentally, one of the things I noticed about the South Tower was the speed of the very large express lift/elevator (the size of a room), which transported tourists to the floor below the Observation Deck in a matter of only a couple of minutes, if I recall aright. I think 107 floors. There was a staircase from there to the outside Observation Deck.

I did not see the U.S. Presidential TV debate. Such “debates” are always rubbish (going back as far as the famous Nixon-Kennedy ones). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_United_States_presidential_debates.

Having said that, such shouting matches and trivia do have their effect on voter response.

At this point, I have no idea who supposedly “won” the TV debate, or who is going to come out on top in the election.

The “Twitterati”, or Twitter/X twits, heavily pro-Kamala Harris, think that she has “won” the TV debate, but that is near-meaningless: they were also sure that the Remain side would win the Brexit Referendum, and that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.

America is now so polarized that it would take a President ten times better than the two present contenders rolled together to patch it up.

Starmer-Labour is a Labour Friends of Israel project.

More reminiscences

It seems that today is a day for Memory Lane.

I notice that Larkbeare House in Exeter, not far from the barristers’ chambers where I was professionally based during the years 2002-2008 (though actually resident much of the time after 2005 and until mid-2009 in France), is up for sale.

Larkbeare House was, at that time (and, indeed, since 1876), the Judges’ Lodgings. High Court and Circuit Judges on the Western Circuit of the Bar [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuits_of_England_and_Wales] would stay there when sitting at Exeter.

I attended a couple of receptions there in 2006/2007.

Judges’ Lodgings, which go back hundreds of years, came into existence as a way of isolating judges from the opinions and potential pressures of the local populations, and also protecting them from potential intimidation or protest.

The sale is a sign of the times. The misgovernment of David Cameron-Levita and George Osborne decided to sell off most of the remaining Judges’ Lodgings. Judges now often stay in hotels when on circuit; to my mind not entirely satisfactory.

Incidentally, if anyone wants to buy the property, the “guide price” is £4M.

Listen to that little bastard (Hamish Falconer MP). Parroting the exact same words that many “Conservative” MPs did 2010-2024. No difference whatsoever. “Tough choices” etc. The little bastard has never had to make a “tough choice” in his life, let alone one that impacted him personally.

Incidentally:

The son of Charlie Falconer, Baron Falconer of Thoroton, who served as Lord Chancellor under Tony Blair, Falconer attended Westminster School and then St. John’s College, Cambridge, graduating in 2008 in Human, Social and Political Science,[4] before joining the diplomatic service. Falconer worked in the UK government’s Department for International Development from 2009 to 2013, and then the Foreign and Commonwealth Office until 2022.[5] His diplomatic career centred on national security and humanitarian relief, including hostage recovery.[6][7] Whilst in the Foreign Office, he spent a year at Yale University as a “World Fellow”.[8]

Since leaving the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office, Falconer worked as an associate fellow at the IPPR,[6] and was a Policy Fellow at the think tank Labour Together alongside standing as a candidate for Parliament.

[Wikipedia].

A horrible little System-careerist bastard, in short. Moreover, one born with a double-size silver spoon in his mouth.

Starmer and his cohorts, including the said horrible little careerist bastard, are sending £3 BILLION a year to the brutal Jewish dictatorship in Kiev, apart from anything else. More than they are confiscating from British pensioners.

The “Conservative” government of that little Indian money-juggler had to go, had to be binned, but what has replaced it (as I predicted, though not alone) is a kind of useless, pointless, sleazy, box-ticking Blair Mark Two government of would-be dictatorial idiots, headed by chief idiot Starmer.

Everyone and every organization helping to facilitate evil rubbish of that sort should be purged.

Also seen there, jeering, is bad-joke “Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice, Shabana Mahmood, a Pakistani woman whose entire “legal career” (even including Bar pupillage) lasted for only about 3 years, mostly spent being a “gopher” at a firm of solicitors.

What a line-up of unpleasant individuals. Look at sour-faced would-be dictator Yvette Cooper! Has she been told that her Labour Friends of Israel subscription is due? Have some of her latest fake expenses claims been queried?

They are already worse. Starmer-Labour, Friends of Israel-Labour, has nothing it really wants to do, except sit as a “government”, get paid well, make connections with big business, and “govern “, punishing anyone who expresses alternative views of the world.

They have no policies worth a plugged nickel, and they have no mandate— only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted for them, and most of those were people wanting only to bin the “Conservative” Party.

[No, wait! I voted Labour!“]

Starmer-Labour has a list of people they want to kill off or at least imprison and/or silence: pensioners (hardly any of whom vote Labour now), alternative political voices, those opposed to Israeli war crimes and the UK Jewish lobby.

This is a (barely-)”elected” dictatorship, composed mainly of people who can fairly, if loosely, be described as traitors.

That Dunt individual is not objective. I believe that he tweeted or retweeted about me a few times in the past. Unpleasant, and usually wrong in his views.

Starmer and his cabal think that the recent protests and their “riotous” offshoots are as bad as it gets for him and Labour. Think again. 4+ years of this type of quasi-tyrannical misgovernment and anything could happen.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13838731/Keir-Starmer-Rachel-Reeves-energy-bill-hikes-cap-costs-Downing-Street-flats-winter-fuel.html

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are set to be insulated from the impact of energy bill hikes as pensioners face a struggle without winter fuel payments. 

The PM and Chancellor only pay a taxable benefit on running costs at the grace-and-favour apartments – capped at 10 per cent of their ministerial salaries.

It means that they contribute around £3,000 to cover all utilities and other expenses, and the sum will not go up when the Ofgem cap increases by 10 per cent next month.

…critics have warned that thousands of pensioners on low-incomes could die through lack of heating when the weather turns.”

As I have said, Iran’s tactics of uncertainty keep Israel off-balance, but such tactics cannot be kept in deployment forever. In the end, Iran will have to either put up or shut up.
