Well, a pretty poor week, only 4/10, though that was still enough to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 3/10.

“They” are a horrible tribe.

…and which (((element))), Goodwin, has been behind most of that indoctrination and brainwashing? Yes, “them” (again).

Incidentally, a goodly (and increasing) proportion of the “younger generation” in both France and the UK are really neither French nor British. Non-whites born in France and the UK.

…and her first degree was from the University of Manchester…

If it is “war”, as people of that sort often claim, then in extremis they themselves can be executed in the field (in the streets of Paris).

Talking point

[“The Church has been in schism since the mid twentieth century. People are only now realising it.

There is the Catholic Church, which rose from Sacred Tradition, with the deposit of faith, celebrating the Mass of the Ages.

Then there is the New Order, which sometimes goes by Holocaustianity, replacing Tradition with novelty, so subtly most people do not notice until it is too late. Like a frog in increasingly boiling water. High altars gone, nave tables in, the Sacrifice gets demoted to a Jewish meal. They revert to the passover which was fulfilled in Christ; the Mass of the Ages is suppressed; prayerful posture such as kneeling and receiving communion on the tongue is discouraged; homosexuality and women in positions of leadership is encouraged, by act if not decree; universal language of the Church is replaced with a thousand vernacular dialects; good priests are silenced, their obedience weaponised, whilst bad bishops are promoted, the very ones who push lgbtq; the catechism is infected with just enough vagueness and ambiguity to sow confusion.

The Church cannot change her teaching. Yet, the New Order will be quiet on issues they should speak out on, and vocal on issues they should remain quiet on. The New Order hierarchy uses enough abstractions to make it seem like the Church has “modernised,” where she cannot and should not. From the mass migration of Mohammedans, to the death penalty.

Modernism is the enemy of the Catholic Church, and the fruit of the New Order.

Lefebvre’s warnings were prophetic.“]

Another interesting “Matt and Julia” vlog about “the real Iran” (and a few memories of my own)

Persian food can be very nice indeed. I often recall the food prepared by a Persian lady in London, cooked as a kindness for a friend of mine (and hers), an aristocratic lady from East Prussia displaced by both the Second World War and the decolonizing nonsense in the East Africa of the 1950s.

That Persian food was sent across the road, via one of the Persian lady’s adult sons, packed in takeaway-type foil containers. Fantastic stuff.

As to those Persians, they had a lucky escape. The father of the family had been an MP in Iran, was I think strongly connected to the Shah, and had been hanged after the Shah had been deposed. The family lost pretty much everything in Iran, but the lady herself was allowed to leave thanks to some kind of family influence. Fortunately, her two sons were both students at Imperial College in London. A flat in Little Venice had been bought as somewhere for them to live while studying. That became the home for the three of them and their little cat.

Of course, a mansion flat in Little Venice is hardly poverty (the pop group, Bros, were their nearest neighbours), but back in Iran they had had rural estates (near Shiraz, I think) and numbers of servants.

Nice people. They thought that my German friend, by then in her 60s, ate too little, and should be encouraged to eat. They were right: my old friend could not cook, and tended to subsist on bread (she liked, ironically, a Jewish bread with caraway seeds, bought locally), eaten with butter and a lot of salt, and washed down with lemon tea or sparkling water.

I still remember how nice the Persian food, cooked by that Persian lady, was. My friend used to share it with me, if I were around when it was delivered.

Small world: I was dining at the Persians’ one evening, for the first and last time in fact, in company with both my
German friend and her young (20-something) step-grand-daughter, when the subject of the contemporaneous Darius Guppy trial came up [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_Guppy]. The Persian family had known Guppy as a small boy, Guppy being half-Persian; the Persian lady referred to him as having been “a nice boy”.

Many years later, about 24 years in fact, in 2017, I gave a half-hour political-legal talk at the then-popular London Forum. Afterwards, who should come to to me and introduce himself but Darius Guppy. A personable fellow, who had the interesting knack of being able to appear as if from nowhere, then later disappear the same way…

I did not of course refer to his 1993 trial and imprisonment, but I did tell him about the Persians with whom I had been acquainted and who knew Guppy through having known his mother, a folk singer who was involved with a film that won an Oscar; I once owned one of her albums. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shusha_Guppy.

I mentioned to Guppy that, as an Amazon Top 50 reviewer, I had once reviewed his interesting memoirs, Roll the Dice, on Amazon (that being before the Jew-Zionist lobby had my very popular reviews expunged).

Guppy is or was a great friend of “Boris-idiot” (Boris Johnson), via their Eton and Oxford days.

As said, small world.

Thoughts out of season

Demographic collapse. Something that has engaged me for a number of years, perhaps triggered in part by my own increasing age (I was 70 in September 2026).

I notice that other thinkers into the future are also increasingly interested in the question; Nick Griffin for one (see his Substack blog).

In the part of the country where I live, on the southern coast of England, the ageing population is very evident. Not only in hospitals but also in supermarkets etc, it appears that almost everyone is well above retirement age. At 70, I should be considered “senior”, to put it politely, but (albeit that many think that I look many years younger than my real age) I at least feel fairly youthful compared to most of the shoppers around me, many of whom require sticks, Zimmer frames, mobility scooters etc.

Will robots save our society, or will they —literally— just support the aged as our whole society becomes totally sclerotic?

The crunch has not quite arrived. 2040?

Gloomy thoughts for a late-Autumnal day.

Both the First World War, and that of 1939-1945, did not start without a build-up. One sees the Western ruling circles and cabals pushing non-stop for conflict with Russia over (supposedly) the war between Russia and the Jew/Ukrainian-thug regime in Ukraine, a war which really has nothing to do, in its ground-reality, with the West, or NATO, let alone with the UK, which has never had more than peripheral contact with Ukraine over the past thousand years.

Were the West to stop supporting the brutal, corrupt, and shambolic Kiev dictatorship with arms and money (etc), the war would fizzle out in weeks. However, that result does not interest the NWO/ZOG cabals which are fuelling the conflict.

The result may be that Russia is pushed and pushed until it strikes with its one real trump card, its nuclear arsenal, at the societies of Western and Central Europe.

The USA would probably strand back, not respond. In the final analysis, the NATO treaty is just a piece of paper. I doubt that the USA would want its 100 biggest cities destroyed for the sake of the cities and military/naval installations of Poland, Germany, France…or the UK (probably the most exposed country of all in some respects).

The Cold War has long vanished into history. There is now no Soviet Union, with an expansionist and Marxist-Leninist ideology.

(a number of tweeters saying that there is no magazine in place; true, in theory, though, there could still be a round “up the spout”).

One has to consider a. why Muslim women want to join the UK police; and b. why they want to join the specialist firearms units.

Cut off all help to the Kiev regime.

Welcome back, brave young woman.

Not completely historically correct, but the main point is valid.

Yes, there have been a large number of cases over the years and decades, in the USA, UK, and elsewhere, of “antisemitic” vandalism (and other types of incident) in fact perpetrated by Jews trying to bolster the “Jews are victims” narrative(s).

Stray thought

I happened to see, yesterday, a brief segment of some political discussion programme featuring the dim-witted Con Party MP, Joy Morrissey. I wrote a short piece about her last year:

“Ecce Joy Morrissey, “Conservative” fake, and MP for Beaconsfield

Translation: “I am not British. I was born in Indiana, and brought up in Ohio. I only came to the UK in the first place to get a degree at the LSE. I married an EU citizen, and then divorced him to marry another. I thereby got the legal right to stay in the UK. I also got the right to work in the UK, but in fact never exercised that right, except that I was briefly and totally unsuccessfully a soft-porn would-be actress. Never mind; my second husband has plenty of money, so I never needed, in 18 years, to get any real job or profession… I just played at Con Party politics— in a think tank, with a Con MP, and as a local Con Party councillor. I then tried, unsuccessfully, to be selected as Con Party candidate for Mayor of London. I did, however, eventually get selected for the safe Con seat at Beaconsfield, because the existing Con MP, Dominic Grieve, was expelled from Con Party by “Boris”-idiot, whom I supported. I have been MP since 2019. In those 6 years, I have accomplished absolutely nothing, and, despite Beaconsfield having been (before I was MP) a very safe seat, my vote at Beaconsfield has fallen from 56% in 2019 to 38% in 2024. I supported uneducated, uncultured and stupid nobody Liz Truss as PM (for 49 days) as well as “Boris”-idiot. I doubt that I will be MP for much longer, but in the meantime will continue to support Israel and its UK Jewish lobby, and support mass immigration, as well as blagging my unmerited and generous salary and expenses.”

[Joy Morrissey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Morrissey]

I lived for 6 months (2001-2002) at Higher Denham, Bucks, within the Beaconsfield constituency, so that idiot would have been my MP had I stayed in the area. At least Fate spared me that.“

The woman wants to destroy what is left of the Welfare State, and also throw money and other support at Israel and the Kiev regime dictatorship.

A total waste of space.

[“They Planned the 2020 Lockdowns to Secretly Bail Out the Banks With $6 Trillion Without Hyperinflation

They didn’t lockdown the world because of a virus. They locked you down because the entire banking system was already on the brink of collapse. In September 2019 the REPO market exploded. Overnight lending rates spiked. Corporate loans and derivatives were quietly failing. There was no cash left in the repo market and in the system even through banks had Treasuries as collateral. The Federal Reserve was staring at a full-blown liquidity crisis that could have taken down major banks. Then, just weeks later, a “once-in-a-century” virus conveniently appears. By early 2020 the Fed starts pulling hundreds of billions out of the REPO market… right as the first cases hit U.S. soil.

They shut down the entire economy. Why? Because if people stop spending, stop borrowing, and stop circulating money, the system can suddenly print $6 TRILLION and dump it straight into the banks without causing immediate hyperinflation.

The lockdowns were a financial operation. While you were terrified of a virus and watching your business die, the biggest bailout in history was being executed behind closed doors. The timing wasn’t coincidence. The scale wasn’t accident. The narrative wasn’t organic. They needed you scared, isolated, and offline so they could quietly rescue the system that was already breaking in 2019. This wasn’t chaos. This was the plan.

The famous City Of London banker @LordBelgrave already warned about how central banks, IMF and BIS have been planning the new monetary order. Oil shock? AI crisis? Cyberattacks? They’re already preparing for the next one.”]

The Stavka should now order a general advance, to press forward in all sectors of the overall front.

If you took away the non-whites, the figures would look very different. Labour would be on about 15%, for a start.

How long, I wonder, will this continue before British people start to take direct action?

She also calls anyone even marginally nationalist “fash” (i.e. “fascist”), just like the “antifa” crazies.

However, Germany is actively opposed to this, warning that “resuming dependence on Russian energy sources could threaten European security.” The publication notes, however, that the most popular party in the country, “Alternative for Germany” (AfD), supports the restoration of imports in order to lower energy prices.“]

On “British” TV etc, you only see the Ukrainian conflict from the Kiev-regime side.

[“MBS IS FINISHED: THE HOUSE OF SAUD FACES TOTAL COLLAPSE Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector and Marine intelligence officer, warns that Mohammed bin Salman has entered a death spiral with no way out. A war launched in 2014 for quick military glory has become a 12-year nightmare that is now physically dismantling Saudi oil production. The American umbrella has failed, allies will not ride to the rescue, and the kingdom is losing decisively. The only remaining question is how fast the collapse arrives.

THE CORE VERDICT

Ritter states the demise of Muhammad bin Salman is inevitable.

“He’s finished.”

If lucky he catches the last gold-plated 747 out of Riyadh to a London hideaway or the United States.

If not, his head is removed by sword amid shouts of Allahu Akbar.

“It’s the end of the House of Saud.”

THE 2014 STRATEGIC ERROR

MBS tried to earn his military spurs with a fast victory over Ansar Allah.

The campaign turned into a 12-year nightmare.

His later decision to expand the war by striking Sanaa airfield only accelerated the destruction.

There is no political off-ramp left and no salvation coming.

THE OIL DESTRUCTION

Ansar Allah is no longer limited to blocking Bab el-Mandeb or hitting pipelines and storage.

They are now attacking production facilities and the wells themselves.

“This is the end of Saudi Arabia.”

Without oil the entire Vision 2030 fantasy collapses into what Ritter calls a Bedouin-infested sand pit with nothing left.

NO ALLIES WILL SAVE HIM

The American security umbrella proved nonfunctional.

Saudi forces are ineffective, overweight, proxy-driven and overmatched.

Pakistan faces massive Imran Khan protests and will not send tens of thousands of troops into a losing desert war.

Turkey has no interest in dying for the Saudis.

The Mecca Pact is a joke of maps and chalkboards with no real troop movement.

THE RIYADH PREDICTION

If MBS is removed and internal fighting follows, Ritter says Ansar Allah columns could drive through the streets of Riyadh.

Saudis have feared this outcome since 1990.

“Saudi Arabia is losing this war decisively. And there’s nothing that can be done to save them.”

The world will experience the same shock that hit when the Shah of Iran fell in 1979.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Scott Ritter sees MBS as toast and the House of Saud heading toward the same abrupt end that surprised everyone in 1979. Energy production is being dismantled, no outside force will intervene, and the collapse is already underway. History is about to deliver a shock that almost no one in the West has priced in.”]

[“Historic Milestone in Florida as Over 80 Orthodox Jewish Families Move Into New $100 Million-Plus Community and Schools Open

More than 80 families from New York have moved into Lakefront Estates, where schools have now opened. Dozens more families are expected in the coming weeks, following reported investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the project.

Located in Glades County near Lake Okeechobee, Lakefront is a purpose-built residential community. The broader development plan calls for up to 1,000 single-family homes and 300 rental units.

The vision goes beyond housing: plans include synagogues, mikvahs, boys’ and girls’ schools, a yeshiva, a kollel, kosher shopping and medical services. Developers are targeting families seeking more space and an alternative to soaring housing costs in established Orthodox neighborhoods.

Hatzalah South Florida has also begun organizing a local branch, meeting with prospective responders who will serve Lakefront. With families arriving and classrooms opening, the focus now shifts from construction to building the services a growing community needs.“]

It has been suggested that there may now be some variety of superinjunction in place, an injunction which prevents being published even the fact of its existence. I wonder. The msm deletions would seem to support that theory, but how can such an injunction cover even the fact that a woman has not only been charged but has been committed for trial?

Apart from that, I have nothing further to say at this time about Lola Salem and the horrible little degenerate, Gove, having said it all in the past few days on the blog, and previously.

Relations between Russia and Japan continue to deteriorate.

If the next general election does not move things in at least a generally social-national way, the British people will be fully justified in taking whatever action is required to save this country.

Overnight, Geran-type drones reportedly targeted Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lutsk, as well as the Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Lviv and Poltava regions.

Reports also indicate that Geran-4/5 jet-powered drones reached Lviv for the first time. The extent of the damage and any casualties require independent confirmation.

  • The reported expansion of drone attacks toward western Ukraine highlights the challenge of defending a vast territory. Faster jet-powered variants could further complicate interception efforts and increase pressure on Ukrainian air defenses.

The key question is whether Ukraine can sustain nationwide air defense as the threat evolves in both range and speed.“]

I suggest that the Russian side leaves Lvov unattacked. Lvov is an ancient and interesting city, at one time within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

I see that the Jewish lobby is loudly whining and wailing today about the Jews killed on this day 3 years ago in Gaza.

Well, I concede that the incursion into “Israel” from Gaza should not have happened in quite the manner it did, and that some of the acts done by HAMAS were incorrect and insupportable, but the response of the Israeli Jewish state has been brutal, inhumane (indeed, inhuman), and as close to genocide as makes no real difference.

Almost complete devastation of Gaza, most homes destroyed, hundreds of thousands killed or injured, many injured very badly (loss of limbs etc), and most of those killed or injured women and children.

It seems that many of the Jews killed three years ago were killed (via free-fire protocols) by the Israeli forces themselves. The total Jewish death toll was somewhere around 1,000, a tiny fraction of the number of Gazans killed and wounded in vindictive retaliation by the (Israeli) Jews (egged on by many Jews living overseas, including in the UK).

One has to ask, when on Earth will the Jews (of Israel, and those supporting the slaughter and cruelty from overseas) have had enough blood (in Gaza)?
