No news for some time about the famous Hamas tunnels that were, apparently, in total about the same length altogether as the actually underground parts of the London Underground (over 100 miles in all). At first, the Israelis were full of public relations news/propaganda about how they had taken several miles of this or that tunnel, but since then, nothing. Are the tunnels still being used by the Gazan side of the conflict? We do not know.

If so, most of them will abandon Poland and move to other parts of the EU— Germany, Denmark etc. Only a few will make it easy for the Kiev regime to press-gang them and deploy them to the crumbling front-line. That would be a death sentence for many.

Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and the war

“Lukashenko proposed to the West to play a draw with Russia, otherwise Ukraine will cease to exist.

More statements of the President of Belarus:

For Americans, China and Russia are not all opponents and enemies. For America, Europe itself, the European Union, is a serious rival. Americans do not need opponents or competitors.

I know the mood of the Ukrainian army. They are already tired of this war. If we do not negotiate now, Ukraine may lose its statehood and cease to exist.

No one wants to fight today. That is why we must move towards peace.

Washington is progressively pushing aggressive narratives against Belarus and the Russian state, increasing the degree of hostility of the NATO bloc in our direction.

The US allocation of 60 billion for the war is the most important factor in the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.”

“Biden’s team doubts US aid will help Ukraine win – Politico.

The immediate goal is to stop Ukrainian losses and help Ukraine regain momentum and turn the tide on the battlefield.” After that, the goal is to help Ukraine start getting its territory back,” said one of the officials. “Will they have what it takes to win?” Ultimately, yes. But that’s no guarantee that they will. Military operations are much more complicated than that.“

That report about American “analysis” leaves out several important factors which make any large-scale success by the forces of the Kiev regime very unlikely.

The first is the lack of “boots on the ground”, i.e. numbers of soldiers, particularly well-trained soldiers. 500,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed in the past 2 years, it is said; even if that figure includes the badly-wounded, nothing material is altered.

Ukrainians of all ages and conditions are trying to avoid call-up, as the regime drafts people as old as 65, disabled people, carers for sick and disabled family members, some women etc. Those who live beyond Ukrainian borders (perhaps a quarter of the pre-war population) show no sign of wanting to return and rally to the colours; those within the borders try to buy or acquire medical exemptions, or just try to stay “under the radar”.

So overall, the lack of manpower is key. There is no way for the regime in Kiev to increase the supply of men, while the attrition of the war means that every day brings new losses; Russian forces, at present, fire 10 artillery shells for every 1 coming from the other side.

The low birth-rate in Ukraine (one of the lowest in the world) also impacts this. The Kiev-regime side looks to ever-lower age-groups, even to those aged 16, to perform military tasks.

Realistically, no matter how many advanced weapons are gifted to the Kiev regime by the USA and UK etc, Zelensky’s forces will never be able to “regain” those former Ukrainian provinces now under Russian rule: Lugansk, Donetsk, and of course the Russian peninsula of Crimea.

Even less likely is the prospect of the Kiev-regime forces actually taking over undisputably-Russian border areas, or destroying major Russian towns or cities. Should the first happen (which is not even a war aim of the Kiev-regime side), there would be a swift Russian response and re-occupation. Russia, with its famous prostor (apparently endless space) simply cannot be conquered by merely military means, as indeed Professor Haushofer taught. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Haushofer.

As to possible destruction of large Russian urban centres such as Moscow: even had the Kiev regime side the means, all that would then happen would be the deployment of Russian tactical or even strategic nuclear weapons, particularly to reduce Kiev itself. Were Kiev to be destroyed, the war would end immediately.

It can thus be seen that there are only two possible outcomes (unless is posited a general regional or even world war): either Russia achieves victory over Eastern Ukraine by force of arms, or there are real peace talks soon, leading to a result somewhere between such a victory and the present state of play.

Israel

More Israeli war crimes.

Sooner or later, whether in 5 years, 10 years or whenever, the wheel will turn, and the Israeli population will probably be scurrying through devastated streets, the streets of Tel Aviv and elsewhere. Will the Jews of Israel and beyond then themselves expect or ask for mercy?

Not as unlikely as it seems. Israel’s regional enemies become more powerful every day. Who, a decade or two decades ago, or 50 years ago, would have thought that the Palestinian resistance to the north of Israel/occupied Palestine would have the military power, or the missiles, that it has in 2024? With every passing day, the enemies of Israel acquire more powerful weapons. How long before they have weapons that can overcome the Israeli defences?

The Israeli high command (both military and security/intelligence) seems to be playing a delaying game, trying to prevent major actors from acquiring the most powerful weapons while, when possible, destabilizing surrounding (and some other) states. Iraq, Lebanon, Syria Libya, Egypt have all been weakened. Iran still stands.

There is also the fact that the Arab Palestinians within Israeli borders, and in the West Bank and Gaza, have a higher birth-rate than do most of the Israeli Jews. This will surely have an effect somewhere down the line.

Israel is doomed; the only uncertain fact is the date of that doom.

In the recent Israel-Iran exchange, it was noteworthy that planes and rockets from Saudi Arabia and Jordan flew in defence of Israel. I take that to be an Arab response to the increasing power of Iran, rather than a wish to help Israel as such.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the opposite was the case: the Shah’s government was on quite amicable terms with Israel, unlike all of the Arab states, which then were implacably opposed to Israel. The underlying hostility between the Arabs and the “Persians”, however, was just the same, in essence.

That Jewish Israeli politician seems to be the personification of utter stupidity allied to complete dishonesty. Says that executed/murdered Gazans with hands tied behind their backs may have died in “gun battles” or “throwing grenades“.

She also says that the Gazan resistance are “cowards“, because they (to use the old British phrase) “shoot and scoot” rather than waiting to be mown down by tanks etc. What, I wonder, does that creature say about Jewish (Israeli) pilots and drone operatives who kill women and children from 10,000 feet in the air, or even while sitting in a building in Israel?

It is a disgrace that the suborned UK government is giving aid and comfort (and arms) to that tribe.

Good grief! Just saw this: that creature, of Moroccan and Portuguese Sephardic-Jewish origins, was born in London, became a barrister (Middle Temple) and only moved to Israel in 2001, at the age of 27 or 28: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur_Hassan-Nahoum.

“She has been tipped as a future mayor of Jerusalem or Israeli foreign minister” [Wikipedia].

Incredibly (listening to that interview), she is apparently regarded as “liberal” in Israel!

Talking point

Britain’s average has already been reduced several points by reason of importation of huge numbers of individuals from the lower-IQ groups over the past 70 years and particularly the past 30 years.

How can we ever create a higher-level society if the human beings in the present society are, as a group, degrading constantly (as at present)?

Cleverly is completely idiotic. Imagine meeting with those lying conspirators and giving (or at least pretending to give) credence to their demands, after what has been discovered in the last several days! Falter has been exposed more than once as a liar, as has the one seated to his left.

Unfortunately, Cleverly has one of the safest seats in the Commons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braintree_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s. Another brainless MP.

The “Campaign Against Antisemitism” is effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London.

I cannot see why the Metropolitan Police Commissioner felt obliged —apparently— to actually apologise to Falter, who by then had already been exposed, even by other Jews, even by other Zionists, as a dishonest propagandist whose account of the now-notorious Aldwych incident was plainly contrived and untrue.

Perhaps Russia should create a special class of passports for suitable candidates from certain other countries too: EU nationals, UK and US nationals, some others, and those people could then become dual-passport-holders, with the right of residence, under conditions, in the Russian Federation.

Diary Blog, 24 April 2024, with thoughts about the vandalism of Wikipedia, and about Rwanda, mass immigration and migration-invasion

How Wikipedia became Wokepedia

Well worth reading. For me, Wikipedia is an invaluable resource, but there is no doubt that parts have been rendered both less accurate and (therefore) less useful because of tendentious “editing” by, especially, the Jew-Zionist element. Knowledge areas such as Second World War and 1930s political history, social-national groups’ histories, certain “theories”, or phenomena, such as the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan etc.

A couple of years ago, the malicious UK-based Jewish/Zionist lobby and/or Israel-lobby group, “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] advertized online for any of its supporters with personal Wikipedia accounts to join in a programme of vandalistic “editing” of Wikipedia pages.

Look at the biased language in this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan. “Debunked“; “concocted“; “hoax“; “fabricated“; “racist” etc.

The “editing” is rather obvious; unsubtle. All the same, many readers probably do not realize that a form of vandalism has taken place.

Ultimately, truth overcomes untruth, but sometimes not for a very long time.

Yesterday was St. George’s Day. The image of the warrior saint overcoming the dragon and killing it is powerful in human history.

Mass immigration, migration-invasion, and the Rwanda plan

https://www.mattgoodwin.org/p/why-we-need-rwanda

The problem is that, mainly as a down-the-line consequence of the disastrous, catastrophic Second World War and the way it ended (with the European empires unable or unwilling to continue to rule vast tracts of Africa —both sub-Saharan and North Africa—, Asia and elsewhere), the world fell, after 1945, into a downward spiral consisting of overpopulation, wars, civil wars, shambolic and corrupt native rule, environmental degradation etc.

This became Europe’s problem when the instability of much of the Middle East and South Asia, as well as Afghanistan and much of black Africa, sent millions and tens of millions of both “bogus” and “genuine” refugees westward and northward to Europe. Africa’s northern barriers— Libya, Tunisia and Morocco— were penetrated, the fall of Gaddafi being key.

At the same time, Africa and parts of South Asia (notably, Pakistan) and the Middle East were experiencing a population explosion (by births) not mirrored anywhere else.

The UK, for example, has suffered a huge population increase in the past 20-30 years, but almost all of that has been via immigration, and births to recent immigrants, not births to native white British people or even to those non-whites who entered the country decades ago.

It is largely a waste of time, effort and money trying to separate “genuine” from “bogus” refugees (economic migrants etc). The two groups are very similar in type or in most respects, and pose similar problems.

The fact is that the world is in such a state, and now has so many possibilities of long-distance travel, that in principle, on the basis of the post-WW2 legal framework, literally hundreds of millions (800M is a figure often quoted) could make their way to Europe, including the UK (for many a preferred destination).

Those vast hordes could all, or almost all, make a legally-arguable case to be considered as “genuine refugees”, a fact confirmed by the proportion presently allowed to stay in the UK once having set foot on British shores and after assessment— 80%.

Of course, few of the remaining 20% are deported either.

Most immigrants to the UK are not “asylum-seekers” and/or purported “refugees” anyway, but are “lawful migrants”, i.e. “students”, “family members”, supposed spouses or “fiancees”, “highly skilled workers” (Indians who can work a computer) and so on.

Let us take that 800 million figure as correct (it may even be an underestimate). Even if only 10% were to come to the UK (and it could be 90%), that would mean a doubling and more of the population; moreover, an influx of “refugees” most of whom would be unable even to speak basic English, few of whom have any marketable skills, and many of whom are actively hostile to white European culture and civilization, despite wanting to live in Europe.

UK society is under stress and strain already from mass immigration. It could not take 80M more immigrants, or even 8M more, without descending into either chaos or socio-political upheaval. At present, the overall immigrant influx (not just supposed “refugees”) numbers about a million a year; supposedly “only” about 700,000-800,000 “net” because there are a couple of hundred thousand leavers every year, but most of those leaving are real white Brits emigrating to what they think might be a better life, or a better retirement, in Australasia, Canada, or European countries such as France and Spain.

Very few of the ~1M immigrants each year are of any use to the UK. A few are, true, though mostly in unskilled or partly-skilled occupations that could be done either by Brits or, soon, by AI, robots etc.

The best that can be hoped for is that the bulk of those entering the UK every year are merely neutral or parasitic, rather than actively hostile and/or criminal.

The whole question of immigration is not some side-issue. It affects the income, life-chances, living standards, food, water, shelter and safety of every single person in the UK.

10 years from now, there might be as many as 10M more people in the UK by reason of immigration. A population of the size of a city such as London, albeit spread over the UK, and populated by alien hordes the majority of which will be, at best, parasitic. Is that possible, or sustainable? No.

As to the present UK government policy of deportation to Rwanda, I have several problems with it, the first of which is around numbers.

It seems that, if it becomes operational, the Rwanda flights will carry, at most, a few hundred failed “asylum-seekers” per week. In a situation where even the “small boat” invasion across the Channel amounts to several thousand per week, the Rwanda flights will only deal with about 10% of the “small boats” invasion problem. The Rwanda policy does not even touch the larger migration-invasion, the “legal” (lawful) sort. The “small boats” are, at most 20%, probably 10%, of the entire problem.

That is on the basis that the Rwanda flights will start, that they will continue, and that they will carry more than a handful of deportees.

Another question arising is the capacity of Rwanda, a small country (somewhat larger than Wales, but with 4x the population), to absorb deportees on a large scale, most of whom will not even be from Africa, or that part of Africa.

Rwanda was the scene of the Hutu-Tutsi genocide of 1994; it has a history of ethnic tension.

What happens, in such a country, one of 14M people, densely packed (the most densely-populated on mainland Africa, and the fifth most densely-packed in the world excepting city-states, small islands etc, at over 1,400 persons per square mile— the UK is about 722 per sq. mile, England about 1,100 p.s.m.) when thousands, tens of thousands of foreign deportees arrive? At some point, there may be a local backlash.

What happens if the Rwanda government changes, or changes policy? Are their words, or treaties, reliable? Have they ever been, in Africa or indeed anywhere?

In any case, the Rwanda plan will apply only to (some) deportees from the small percentage called “illegal” migrants; the vast majority of migrants to the UK are notionally “legal” or lawful, so will not be subject to deportation at all.

The Rwanda plan is little more than a public relations exercise in an election year. Cosmetic only. Even if “successful” (operational), it will deal with only, perhaps, 1% of the overall mass immigration problem.

Matt Goodwin (see tweet and blog article above) sees the Rwanda plan as at least being a statement of intent, but it is doubtful whether it can be scaled-up, expanded to other countries in Africa or elsewhere.

The main question remains: how to stop over a million non-Europeans entering the UK alone each year? How to reduce the proportion of non-Europeans in the UK (and in Europe as a whole), and how to, eventually, create an ethnostate with the idea of laying the ground for a much later “super-people”?

Not “dying“— being killed (by “them”).

That is somewhere around my own view of Penny Mordaunt. Her trump card, amid all the Jews and non-whites in the Conservative Party MP ranks, is that she is actually English. I cannot see much else to commend her as a potential Prime Minister, though there is nothing too damaging against her either.

In fact, though, if it turns out that the Conservative Party is reduced to about 50 MPs this year or by early 2025, it will not much matter whether she becomes leader of that little band or not.

In any case, her seat at Portsmouth North is a “bellwether”, i.e. usually votes the same way as the winning side in general elections (in the case of Portsmouth North, since 1966), so Ms. Mordaunt is quite likely to lose her seat in 2024/2025, though her high profile may enable her to avoid that fate. In 2019, her vote-share was 61.4%; the Labour vote a mere 27%. Labour has not exceeded 40% there since its win in 2005.

News from Ukraine

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13343997/Russia-breaks-Ukraine-line-captures-strategically-important-town-newly-arrived-brigade-fled-post-major-blow-Kyiv-just-finally-approves-huge-aid-package.html

“Russian troops have reportedly pushed through Ukrainian lines to take the strategic town of Ocheretyne in Donetsk – the latest scoop for Vladimir Putin‘s forces amid a recent string of gains on the battlefield.

Videos shared on the Telegram messaging app by Russian military bloggers appeared to show the Russian tricolour flying atop a damaged building in the town that once was home to 30,000 Ukrainians. 

The town was lost after Ukrainian units fled their positions under heavy fire, Msocow’s defence ministry claimed, as a Ukrainian army spokesperson said the invaders were ‘using the entire arsenal of weapons available… including chemical poisons,’ in their assault.

The capture of Ocheretyne, a local rail hub, is a key milestone on the way to the city of Pokrovsk some 20 miles further west – an intersection of important roads and a railway junction that forms the linchpin of Ukraine’s military operations in the region. 

Elsewhere, Russian divisions are pummelling towns on the outskirts of Chasiv Yar, a strategically important hill town that would allow them to move toward Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, key cities Ukraine controls in the eastern region of Donetsk.

And missiles and drones continue to batter energy infrastructure and residential areas in Ukraine‘s second-largest city, Kharkiv, which is only about 20 miles from the Russian border.

Moscow‘s soldiers are pushing forward at several points along the 600-mile front – perhaps to maximise their gains over their depleted and war weary adversaries before new supplies of Western munitions arrive.“

[Daily Mail]

As I have predicted on the blog, there will probably be a stunning Russian advance across all of Eastern Ukraine in 2024-2025. It might even end the war, either by collapse of the Zelensky dictatorship or by a Russian victory (defined as quasi-permanent occupation of all of Eastern Ukraine and the coasts of the Black Sea and Sea of Azov).

Western arms and ammunition may delay that Russian victory, but the Kiev regime is running out of soldiers.

Why would any organization want to subject its staff to a programme of socio-political brainwashing by Jew-Zionists, especially a dishonest and malicious pack such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”]?

The next time that the “CAA” “executives” Falter and Silverman give sworn testimony in a criminal or civil legal case, they should be robustly cross-examined about finances, including how much they themselves are being paid for their disgusting activities.

The “CAA” is effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London.

There must be an investigation into, not only that recent piece of street theatre by Falter, but also into, and more importantly, the hooks that the “CAA” cabal have got into the police, CPS, TV people, radio people, and newspaper scribblers, not to mention both “Labour” and “Conservative” political facades, right up to the little Indian money-juggler presently posing as Prime Minister.

That chart shows very clearly just how disastrous, economically, the war with the German Reich was for Britain. If only Britain had had real statesmen able to see ahead, unlike stumbling, bumbling Churchill, whose military and naval ideas were rock-bottom (Gallipoli in WW1, and in WW2 Norway, Greece, Crete, Singapore etc), and whose social ideas were antiquated and unreal.

As the under-rated historian Correlli Barnett said in several of his books, after 1945 the UK had the choice of trying to maintain its worldwide Empire and being a major power, and/or of regenerating its economy and particularly its industrial manufacturing sector, and/or of creating a Welfare State. Only two (any two) of the three were possible of full achievement, but Britain tried to undertake all three simultaneously; that strategy failed, or partially failed. It had not the means (because of the War) to succeed in all three. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlli_Barnett.

Entirely typical of “them”. In the UK, such harassment and covert hostility is undertaken in a similar manner, mainly via Jew-Zionist groups such as the “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

Apart from all the other lies of Gideon Falter, if he claims that he was taking a stroll after having attended a synagogue, that must also be untrue. Other Jews have said that Falter was out and about long before what the Jews call “schul” would have ended.

Also, as a former long-term near-Central London resident, I am unaware of any synagogue in the area around where Falter was performing his political street-theatre nuisance (in Aldwych); and even if I am wrong on that, as far as I know Falter lives mainly in the St. John’s Wood neighbourhood of NW London (quite close to my one-time home in Little Venice, London W9). There is a large synagogue in St. John’s Wood Road, and another one in Lauderdale Road, Maida Vale. Both far from the Aldwych/Kingsway area of London; miles away. How would any stroll take him that way, even forgetting about the ex-MOSSAD security staff and the film crew?

Falter, like all his “CAA” co-conspirators, is a liar, and an abuser of the legal system (and mainstream media) of this country.

“Insp Parker-Phipps, whose laptop battery was “dying”, put the order in place at 10:00 GMT on November 26, but accidentally dated the form for November 24.

Mr Robinson’s defence lawyer, Alisdair Williamson KC, told the court there had been a “litany of catastrophic errors” in the Met’s handling of the incident.

Questioning the inspector, Mr Williamson said: “This document is not correct is it?

“Can we have any confidence that there was a lawful order in place?”

To which the inspector replied: “No.”

Giving his ruling, District Judge Daniel Sternberg said: “I am not satisfied there was a legal authorisation.

“There is no case for you to answer.”

The hearing was attended by numerous supporters of Mr Robinson who filled the public gallery.“

[BBC]

So the policeman directly in question, of the rank of inspector, wrongly-dated the crucial document? He also admitted —without equivocation— in court not only that he had wrongly-dated the document but, further, that that probably meant that the Order purportedly authorized had thereby been rendered unlawful.

What an unusually-helpful police witness. “Tommy Robinson” must have been born under a lucky star. Or something.

Much truth in that, but the elephant in the room that “Robinson” never mentions is the pervasive Israeli and Jewish influence in the UK.

Like Katie Hopkins, and a whole host of other “alt-Right” and similar activists, Robinson always seems to take the Israeli/Jewish/Zionist side of a false dichotomy.

There is a Jewish police organization which seems to have plenty of influence: see below— “CAA” liar Gideon Falter influencing (?) former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, at Scotland Yard:

Finchley Road, so again in that Swiss Cottage/St. John’s Wood part of London.

No different from what Jewish terror squads did in Palestine/Israel in the 1940s. They blew up buildings, kidnapped and murdered British soldiers, and “ethnically-cleansed” whole villages, towns, and cities.

In Europe, Jewish terrorists even tried to poison the water supplies of London and some German cities, as well as attempting to bomb London indiscriminately, trying to kill as many British people as possible.

Incidentally, such Jewish terrorism, and other “activism”, did not come about by reason of the events of the Second World War. In 1933, as soon as the NSDAP under Adolf Hitler came to power, the web of “World Jewry” declared war on the new Germany. They, if you like, drew first blood.

Australia now is very different to the affluent and generally relaxed country I saw in the late 1960s. Controlled and tied down in so many ways, and far more stressed. Sydney itself has twice or more the population it had back then (then about 2M, now 5M+).

Another aspect that strikes (and puzzles) me is the almost caricature “Aussie” accent many now sport, including most of their politicians. That never used to be the case, not to that extent, as far as I can recall. There was a “strine”, yes, but it has become more accentuated, in fact almost become a joke, as one can hear from the woman in that clip.

From the newspapers

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mum-asked-man-pub-guess-32649993

“A furious mum glassed a man in the face at a pub after he guessed she was four years older than she was.

Joanne Dodd launched her attack on Carl Cooper after he suggested she might be 43, when she was actually 39. The pair were having a light-hearted exchange in a Manchester pub beer garden before Carl went to the toilet to try and get away from an offended Joanne. But when he returned, she ran towards him twice and pushed her wine glass into his face, leaving him with a 10cm cut that narrowly missed his eye and needed stitches, as well as an injury to his thumb.

Manchester Crown Court heard Dodd was suffering from ‘low self esteem’ and was drinking heavily at the time of the attack. The mum-of-one pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm, facing up to three years in jail under sentencing guidelines. But Judge Elizabeth Nicholls instead gave her a suspended sentence, explaining that despite there being no excuse for the crime, she could see that Dodd, who has no previous convictions, was a ‘hard working woman’, ‘loving mother’ and posed ‘no risk to the public’.

“Dodd was sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended for 12 months and was ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work and pay £800 in compensation to her victim.“

[Daily Mirror]

So a woman who twice pushed a glass into the face of (what seems to have been) a complete stranger poses “no risk to the public“?

I suppose that it could be argued that the sentence is not unjust: the victim will (presumably) get that £800, and 180 hours of serf labour is pretty stiff, but the idea that such a defendant poses “no risk” is surely demonstrably untrue.

I suppose, also, that the only way to test the verdict of that judge is the method suggested by the judge to the jury in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury:

“she says that when in drink, he hits her and kicks her; well, gentlemen of the jury, let’s make him tipsy…and see!“

I think that the courts must start getting tough on violent crime, including violence committed in social settings such as pubs, and not infrequently by drunken women these days.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/homeless-woman-living-disused-bus-32651909?int_source=nba

“A homeless woman says living in a bus shelter with her boyfriend and mum is safer than being put in temporary housing with drug addicts.

 ‘I’ve got a chest of drawers, a carpet.’ The family will now have to move out after Transport for West Midlands announced it was demolishing the bus shelter within weeks.

Destiny added: “They’ve said we’ve got a month left and they’re going to destroy it. I’ve been in here a long time, I don’t want them to destroy my home, we haven’t got anywhere else to live. If the council doesn’t help us we’re going to try and move into another bus stop.“

Ha ha. If that little twerp thinks that the millions of Ukrainians now living in Poland, Germany, and many other countries are going to return to the brutal, corrupt, and shambolic dictatorship of Zelensky and the regime in Kiev, let alone join its ebbing armed forces, he is living in a land of fantasy.

Either this summer or later, there will be a general advance by Russian forces, moving north and west across Eastern Ukraine; perhaps even an approach or “podstup” near to Kiev itself, which region is now heavily defended.

The Kiev-regime forces are now entirely on the defensive, without the ability, troops or other means to attempt an advance, still less any offensive, after the failure of the last and half-hearted one in 2023. All they can do is launch occasional missile attacks on Russian territory, with the aim of causing a certain amount of damage to refineries, train lines, bridges etc.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week I merely equalled John Rentoul’s 5/10. I knew the answers to questions 1, 3, 7, 8, and 9. I was unsure about questions 4, 5, 6, and 10, and had no idea at all about question 2.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13327677/Cambridge-university-race-researcher-equality-lies-dropped-backlash-students.html

“A fellow at the University of Cambridge who has sparked backlash with his comments on race has been dropped by Emmanuel College where he was a research associate.

Nathan Cofnas, an early career research fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy, is understood to have had his relationship with the college ended following an investigation into his conduct.

Mr Cofnas came under fire in February after he published a blog post which claimed the number of black professors at Harvard would ‘approach zero’ in a meritocracy, and that ‘Blacks would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.’

He also dismissed equality between people of different ethnicities as a ‘thesis’ that is ‘based on lies’.

Mr Cofnas, who describes himself as a ‘race-realist’, is understood to have been informed of the college’s decision by letter on April 5, which stated his posts were in violation of its diversity and inclusion policies.

Last month, the first black man to ever be appointed to the head of a Cambridge College, Lord Simon Woolley, principal of Homerton College, held an event with students and the master of Emmanuel Doug Chalmers to discuss their concerns.

Lord Woolley, who was previously appointed by then-Prime Minister Theresa May to head the UK Government’s Race Disparity Unit, told the assembled students that free speech must be protected, but this did not extend to ‘abhorrent racism’.

Emmanuel’s Master Mr Chalmers had initially backed Mr Cofnas’ right to freedom of speech, but the college soon launched an investigation, alongside other probes by the University and the Leverhulme Trust, which provided him with a research grant.”

So the “diversity hire” has no understanding of the concept of free speech, or the concept of academic freedom, yet has been appointed principal of a Cambridge University college…

What a surprise, in the UK of 2024. Not.

The “Readers’ Comments” on that Daily Mail report are interesting. Almost every one supports the researcher, as do the votes on those comments.

Incidentally, the researcher in question is Jewish, so he cannot be described very plausibly as “Nazi” (nicht wahr?). See also a piece written on another subject by him: https://thecritic.co.uk/twilight-of-the-liberal-jew/.

Biden really ought to retire.

Russia cannot lose this war, and will not lose it.

“Have you got a light, mac?” (“no, but I have a dark-grey overcoat“…boom boom…)

“There is no plan B without the USA – Kiev.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmitry Kuleba, stated that this was the message he conveyed to his American counterpart, Anthony Blinken. However, he reiterated that for Ukraine there is no alternative to US military support, which already amounts to over 111 billion dollars since the beginning of the conflict with Russia in February 2022.“

“Rishi wants to get tough on the 850,000 more people on long term sick after ‘the pandemic.’ 1) You literally paid them to sit on the sofa & then wonder why work ethic changed. 2) You mandated novel interventions that have killed & injured people & increased the long term sick. 3) Universal credit costs about £80 billion. You wasted £310-410 billion over-reacting to ‘the pandemic.’“

The little Indian money-juggler is trying to ape the vulgar and unpleasant attacks on the sick, disabled, and unemployed that characterized the 2010-2015 government of Cameron-Levita, Osborne, and Dunce Duncan Smith.

If Sunak thinks that this tired and derivative form of “gutter politics” will fly, he is very mistaken. I was looking at the “Readers’ Comments” in the Daily Mail on this. Only about 1% support the policy and/or think that it will ever be possible (or desirable) to implement it.

We read that there is currently an “epidemic of shoplifting“. What does Sunak imagine will be the result of cutting off the last peanuts lifeline to people, leaving them totally desperate, destitute, homeless etc?

If Sunak and the Conservative Party are trying to improve their electoral chances by this, they are in cloud-cuckoo land. The only people who will be impressed will be the hard core of unthinking Con voters aged 60+, and they will vote Con anyway.

Of course, none of the announced policies will be implemented, or implementable, prior to the General Election. The question therefore devolves to the response from Starmer and Rachel Reeves etc, who will probably be forming the next government. If they follow in Sunak’s footsteps, there could be something akin to an uprising eventually; certainly social upheaval.

Bismarck introduced the skeleton of a Welfare State in Germany 150 years ago, not because the Iron Chancellor was soft, or very kind-hearted, but because he wanted to divert any revolutionary sentiment in the masses. Looks like the UK’s pygmy politicos are going the other way.

[Update, same day: happened to see this—

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13329289/robin-hood-foodbanks-marks-spencer-chorlton-manchester-everybody-eats.html

“A group of self-styled ‘Robin Hoods’ are bragging on social media that they stole from Marks & Spencer to give to food banks.

Campaigners from Everybody Eats, a group calling for direct action on food poverty, claim they launched their first raid at an M&S Foodhall in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester.

They also claim they will replicate ‘this all across the country’ until the government answers their demands on food security, The Telegraph reported.

Everybody Eats claimed that food banks were aware that the goods were stolen and suggested its members had been asked to help.“

Over to you, Sunak…]

Ha ha!

Regular readers may recall my coverage of the end of a recent civil trial which went very badly for the Jew-Zionist pack so vocal on Twitter/X: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2024/04/18/diary-blog-18-april-2024/.

Now, more information. Seems that the egregious Israel-based Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, was involved (I was unaware of that until today, though did wonder when I saw a few tweets in the past week). He has messed up…again.

Lewis is actually a pretty poor lawyer anyway in my opinion (based partly on what I have read about him over the years), and he has in the past admitted that at times — apparently by reason of his prescribed medications, in part— he has, or has had, no idea of what he is or was doing.

Looks now as if that Cantor individual (of whom I know nothing, and of whom I had never heard until this case finished recently) will or might have to take legal action against Lewis himself if he is not to become homeless after his failed attempt to ruin a university academic. What a great pity…

It is not for me to pronounce on whether Lewis was negligent and/or dishonest in this particular case, but (once again) it seems that he has, shall we say, “questions to answer”.

Lewis, though now based in Israel, has a foothold in the UK as “partner” of a small law firm in West London.

Lewis is basically a self-publicist: see my previous (years ago) blog mentions of him.

Update re. “Mark Lewis Lawyer”— Questions Are Raised…

That blog post contains links which detail many (though I think not all) of Lewis’s defaults.

There is a notorious Jew-Zionist cabal on Twitter/X, and in the UK mass media, which has been determined for years to present Lewis to a gullible Press readership, TV-watching public etc as “hot shot lawyer”, or (as often described) “top lawyer“.

The fact is that, when Lewis finally left the UK for Israel (to live in Israel) about 5 years ago, his own Counsel said (at his “trial” before a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in London, at which Lewis was found guilty of having posted savagely violent social media posts) that Lewis had “no assets” except his own clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week. Even his car was being provided to him by the State disability benefit service, Motability.

Oddly (not), Lewis’s appearance before, and “conviction” by, the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal was not covered at all by the “occupied” UK msm, and only briefly by a few law magazines…

More:

Seems that James Wilson is, on the face of it, a little too kind. Those Jew-Zionist fanatics (the defendants Cantor and Mendelsohn, whoever they are —I had heard of the unpleasant Newbon) were, after all, quite willing to ruin Mr. Wilson if they could.

As for Lewis, he is, in my opinion, repeatedly unprofessional, quite apart from, also in my opinion, being very far from as effective as his fellow-fanatics try to make him appear.

Lewis’s Third Witness Statement says it— he “misunderstood“…

More on the other above-tweeted matter, i.e. Miller and Power v. Turner: https://luketurner.com/Deanna_Havas/Daniel_DC_Miller/; https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4547224; https://luketurner.com/victory-in-high-court-libel-case-against-nina-power-and-daniel-dc-miller.

I myself had not heard of that legal case until today. Here is the full judgment: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Miller-and-Power-v-Turner-08.11.23.pdf.

Lewis is no better than an “ambulance-chaser”, in my opinion.

I keep seeing on Twitter/X that Lewis must be a great defamation lawyer because he “won when representing ‘Jack Monroe’ against Katie Hopkins, who lost and had to sell her house.”

True, Katie Hopkins did lose that case, and did have to sell her house to pay the legal costs supposedly incurred by that fraudulent purveyor of 10p-a-dinner swill, “Jack Monroe” (Melissa Hadjicostas, before she changed her name).

What that story leaves out is that, firstly, Katie Hopkins was either badly advised or, as I believe was the case, not advised at all; she had no lawyers, and so persisted with a defence which was bound to fail. She never stood a chance, but her pride got in the way.

As for Lewis, a child could have won that case against Katie Hopkins.

So Lewis was trying to blag £600 an hour for his most recent defective advice? Well, he will get nothing now (again); he will have to keep the lights switched off in his flat in Eilat, and “collect the pennies on the empties”, as people used to say.

Typical Lewis: tries to intimidate people who have no assets beyond (perhaps) a residential property; they, he hopes, will settle and, crucially, pay supposed “costs” to Lewis, who then gets money without having had to win at trial.

Lewis should be (at long last) struck off the solicitors’ roll; as for Myerson, the matter should be placed before the Bar Standards Board. I hope that Mr. Wilson complains formally to the BSB about him. In the meantime, Myerson should not be permitted to sit as a Recorder (if he still is so permitted after his previous defaults).

See also: https://skwawkbox.org/2023/08/02/pro-israel-lawyer-lewis-heavily-criticised-by-judge-for-conduct-of-case/.

Yet another instance of Lewis having been, if not dishonest (?), then certainly negligent. That, at least, was the view of yet another High Court judge.

Britain 2024

A parody, but close to what the UK is now like…

The world has had capitalist societies, socialist societies, feudal societies etc, but now, in the UK, has emerged a new form of society— the permanently “offended” society of fake “diversity”.

Most of the faked “offence” is taken by “the usual suspects”, of course.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13330719/Neo-Nazi-son-Adolf-kill-mixed-race-child-freed-Parole-Board.html

The Daily Mail and Jewish/Zionist so-called “charities” (including the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”) are whining because someone convicted (on evidence that would have shamed the Star Chamber) in 2018, and then sentenced to 6.5 years, is being released a few months before the end of his full term expires.

Most prisoners are released at, or even before, the halfway point. In this case, that would have meant release in 2021, three years ago.

I hope that the State will not be so cruel as to deny the young couple the right to have their child returned to them. To do that would be absolutely evil.

If the newspaper report (penned by one Iwan Stone, incidentally) is correct, the couple intend to live in Portugal when they can. Good luck to them as they move on from all of this.

Have they not suffered enough?

Literary thought

For no obvious reason, The Merchant of Venice springs to mind. I have not seen a proper production being put on for quite a while.

Othello seems to be more popular.

Perhaps it always was; it has also inspired more adaptations and variations, as in this old noir:

A more natural way of life has to re-emerge in our society.

The little Indian money-juggler posing as Prime Minister is bought and paid for, like 80% of the MPs in the Westminster monkeyhouse.

No matter how much money the U.S. Government sends to the Kiev regime, no matter even how much armament and ammunition is sent, the Kiev regime cannot “win”, even to the extent of occupying the Donbass and Crimea.

The Kiev regime army is flagging as many desert the field, and many more avoid conscription. To be recruited by the Kiev regime army is to be sent to quite likely death or life-changing injury on the front-lines, which are now starting to collapse.

Ukraine is producing few children, and a quarter or more of its pre-2022 population is living outside Ukraine. If American and EU aid stopped, there would be no fighting within a few weeks, followed by either a negotiated armistice or Russian victory. As it is, it looks as though this brutal war will smoulder on for months, maybe even a year or two.

In the end, though, Russia will “win”, in the sense of taking over all of Eastern Ukraine, and possibly the coast as far as, and maybe beyond, Odessa.

I watched a few minutes of a very biased BBC World News report about the war. The reporter, some bearded fellow whose name I did not catch, did say something about why Ukrainians try to avoid fighting. Apart from the obvious dangers, open-ended service (no way of getting out) and poor conditions generally.

What, however, made the report farcical was said reporter’s then assertion that Ukraine is a “genuine democracy“. Hardy ha ha… A “genuine democracy” that now refuses to hold elections, has banned trade unions, which press-gangs people up to age 60 and beyond to serve as cannon-fodder on the collapsing front-lines, and which shoots dissidents, or holds them without trial in unpleasant camps and prisons.

I remain unsure as to whether Biden is making a philosophical point, or whether he is just confused. Hard to say. He really ought to retire.

Heartless monsters. Degenerates.

Not all the blame lies on one side, admittedly, but the historical blame, arising from the Jewish occupation of Palestine from, mainly, after the end of the Second World War, overshadows the whole situation.

Talking point

I have known a few, not many, Persians/Iranians in my life. One group was a family the head of which was a member of the Parliament in Iran under the Shah. When the Islamic Revolution happened, that man was hanged but his two sons were in London as students at Imperial College, living in a mansion flat in Little Venice bought for that purpose. Their mother was later allowed to join them. Exiles. I got to know them via a mutual friend when living in the same district of the capital.

I also became briefly acquainted, in 1976, before the Revolution, with two of the children of a wealthy Iranian/Persian family; I believe that, as with the first family, the family were large landowners. I saw a picture of their palatial house in some province or other, maybe Shiraz.

The children of that family were a young man whom I had met while travelling from London to Penzance by train one night (a First Class compartment but not a sleeper). He was a student (Architecture, I think, if memory serves), aged about the same as me (I was 19, I think).

Not long after, I was invited for an informal supper with the student and his sister, a charming young woman in her early twenties, who was working in Brighton as a nurse, I think. The family had bought two or maybe three bungalows in the same small close on the edge of that town so that various young family members could be together while in England. A young female cousin who lived across the way also attended.

I remember the evening partly because I arrived from London, and departed, on my motorbike, a Suzuki 250, and was able to use, for the first time, the then quite new M23, and which had almost no traffic at all in the mid/late evening. Hard to believe, today.

I lost touch with the student and his sister, and wonder what happened to them after the Revolution. I suppose that they too stayed on in the UK as exiles.

Over the years, I met the odd Iranian, and at one time (early 1980s) I was acquainted with an old fellow (as it then seemed), Edward Sykes (now long-deceased), who at one time, during WW2, had been sent to Teheran under diplomatic cover, but whose real job was to prepare to blow up and/or scout out the land for the sabotage of, numerous bridges, should German forces invade the country. Unlikely perhaps, but with the Wehrmacht already in the Caucasus and, on the other hand, in North Africa (menacing British-controlled Egypt and Palestine, and French-controlled Syria), not impossible.

Edward’s family was entangled with the Middle East. He lent me a massive two-volume large hardback copy of A History of Persia [https://archive.org/details/cu31924088418466] written by (I think) his father: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Sykes.

I have no idea whether it was another member of that family who formulated the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, which essentially carved up the Ottoman Empire, and thus the Middle and Near East: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes%E2%80%93Picot_Agreement. That Sykes was one Mark Sykes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Sykes.

A common-enough surname, but the Middle and Near East (and especially Persian) linkages are telling. cf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Sykes_(writer), another Sykes with Persian, Arab, SAS and SOE links and experiences.

Edward Sykes met his wife (whose name, I regret, I cannot recall; maybe Judith…cannot remember for sure) when training at the military intelligence school set up in a former “hydro” (spa hotel) at Matlock, Derbyshire: https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/arts-and-culture/derbyshires-top-secret-story-of-military-intelligence-revealed-4396084.

See also https://www.paradata.org.uk/media/13643; and https://calmview.derbyshire.gov.uk/calmview/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=D6890&pos=730.

Edward’s wife was also there at Matlock, I think in the FANY [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Aid_Nursing_Yeomanry#Second_World_War]. She claimed that “he was a Captain, and I was washing the floors!” but in reality their backgrounds were, I apprehend, not dissimilar.

Anyway, Edward had a group of people from Surrey (I was in the first year of my law degree, and had moved for a while back to living with my parents at Reigate); those old people went trekking on public footpaths through woods and fields once a week, starting and finishing at a rural pub somewhere, the route meticulously planned out in advance. I think that most of those people had some kind of WW2 intelligence or connected background.

Those old people were tough! After the fairly long trek and lunchtime pub food (ploughman’s lunch, pint of beer), they were all still alert, but I always fell asleep in Edward’s car (he and his wife were neighbours of my parents) on the way back! A tough generation.

Edward told me that he had been tasked, during the War, with the kidnap of a high-ranking Iranian, General Zahedi, thought to be pro-German. This Edward accomplished by using the services of the then quite new SAS. The general was sent to Palestine in a plane.

The story is told on Wikipedia and in the memoirs of the egregious Fitzroy Maclean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fazlollah_Zahedi; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fazlollah_Zahedi#Arrest_and_internment.

The story has a twist: later, that general’s son became, inter alia, Ambassador of the Shah in London, and invited Edward to a reception at the embassy, where he told Edward that his father had always said that he had not been badly treated in captivity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardeshir_Zahedi.

What strikes me, looking at some of the high-ranking military and naval people under the present regime in Iran, is that quite a few have strongly Aryan/European looks. Unsurprising in a way, in that the Aryan migration from Atlantis to ancient India then gradually ebbed back in influence from east to west: ancient India, ancient Persia, the Middle Eastern cultures, to Greece and Rome, and then to our Northern European culture, both during classical times and then, more particularly, since the 15thC and Renaissance.

There is also the point that some of the Persian aristocracy married German women in the 20thC. I know that another sister of that student I met on a train was a natural blonde.

My own direct connection to Iran has been less than slight— a 2-hour refuelling stopover in 1967, in the early hours at the then Teheran Airport, at the time a deserted and gloomy building with nothing much happening.

So, instead of improving the Green Belt, and making it greener, Starmer’s pathetic “plan” is to build on it, creating inevitably-poor-quality housing developments, which will be occupied mainly by immigrants of various kinds. How do I know this? Because there are over a million arriving in the UK every single year now, and even if a couple of hundred thousand people leave (mostly Brits, fleeing to Australia, New Zealand etc), that still means that the population of the UK is increasing by half a million to a million every single year (almost entirely noin-European), despite the (white British) birthrate having fallen to an unprecedented low.

Immigration on the mass scale has to be stopped. If you like, make an exception for the odd brain surgeon or nuclear scientist, but that would be in the hundreds, not the hundreds of thousands.

The mass immigration to which the UK is now subject is unsustainable for several reasons. First, the very numbers; secondly, the fact that most of those coming in, not just the 5% or 10% on the “small boats”, are actually useless to the people of this country. There are further reasons as well.

True. The fact is that most MPs are either incompetent, or are corrupt, or are traitors to the future of the British people. Or all three.

London. Zoo.

[defendants]

“Four ‘highly dangerous’ Hackney gang members including three brothers and a fourth man have been jailed for a total of 75 years after firing machine guns and pistols and possessing crack cocaine and heroin. Three brothers, Ryan Gordon, 31, Ramela Gordon, 28, both of Lynmouth Road, and Jameal Gordon, 32, of no fixed abode, were jailed at the Old Bailey on Wednesday, April 17.

On March 14, 2020, the Gordon brothers discharged a number of rounds from the Uzi sub machine gun into a block of flats targeting an opposing gang. One of the bullets injured a member of the public passing by on their way home from work.

Officers used CCTV footage to connect the brothers to another incident where a self-loading pistol was fired in a heavily pedestrianised area of Homerton on May 21, 2020. A few days later, officers examined a block of flats in Lynmouth Road after a warrant was issued.“

Uni lecturer wins damages from ‘antisemitism campaigners’ who endangered him and family

“University lecturer James Wilson has been awarded £30,000 in damages against James Mendelsohn and Edward Cantor for defamatory material published about him during an argument about supposed antisemitism in the Labour party. The false claim, that Mr Wilson was a ‘freak [who] takes pictures of kids’, put Mr Wilson and his partner in fear of physical danger, as well as seriously damaging his reputation. The judge had previously rejected an attempt by Mendelsohn and Cantor to quash the lawsuit.

University lecturer James Wilson has been awarded £30,000 in damages against James Mendelsohn and Edward Cantor for defamatory material published about him during an argument about supposed antisemitism in the Labour party. The false claim, that Mr Wilson was a ‘freak [who] takes pictures of kids’, put Mr Wilson and his partner in fear of physical danger, as well as seriously damaging his reputation. The judge had previously rejected an attempt by Mendelsohn and Cantor to quash the lawsuit.

The judgement lays bare that:

  • Mendelsohn and Cantor kept private information and recycled it to the late Dr Pete Newbon – a director of the anti-left group ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS), so that he could use it to defame Wilson – the information was untrue and based a) on statements from someone the judge found to have lied about Wilson and b) on false claims about a university disciplinary investigation. Newbon was described by the judge as ‘bullying’
  • that Newbon, who committed suicide in 2022 after a row with his wife and has been lionised by so-called ‘antisemitism campaigners’ despite his awful record as a serial troll repeatedly disciplined by his employers Northumbria University for his appalling social media conduct, had not told her of Wilson’s lawsuit against him for the defamatory posts
  • Mendelsohn and Cantor refused to apologise, mediate or settle, forcing the legal action to proceed to its conclusion
  • a key witness for the defendants said that she had been offered £5,000 by Mendelsohn and Cantor to testify for them (though the judge did not make a finding that her claim was true)
  • the defendants further abused and insulted Wilson in the course of their defence – despite, in the case of Cantor, being warned by the judge not to do so.

The defendants – who represented themselves in court apart from the use of a barrister to cross-examine Wilson – wheeled out a number of figures who are well known for their attacks on the left in an attempt to shore up their defence. The judge dismissed them.

  • University lecturer David Hirsh, a prominent, pro-Israel proponent of supposed ‘left antisemitism’, who wrote an unintentionally revealing elegy to Pete Newbon after his suicide. Hirsh was called to bolster the defendants’ claim that Wilson had shown ‘unwarrantedly aggressive and belligerent conduct’. The judge rejected Hirsh’s evidence that Wilson was ‘aggressive, unpredictable, persistent and irrational’ and found that Wilson’s communications with him over the spreading of a crowdfund for the defendants’ legal costs were ‘not unreasonable’
  • Nathan Comiskey, another advocate of ‘left antisemitism’, who claimed that Wilson contacting him about insulting remarks was ‘highly intrusive and upsetting’ and that he had felt ‘harassed and targeted’. The judge ruled that there was nothing unreasonable in Wilson’s communications and that Comiskey’s testimony did nothing to support the defendants’ claims about supposed unwarranted aggression or belligerence
  • Simon Myerson – a founding signatory of LAAS and supporter of Israel, and a part-time judge recently sanctioned for judicial misconduct for abusive social media posts. Myerson was also a vocal supporter of Newbon, trying to link Jewish author Michael Rosen to Newbon’s suicide, despite a coroner not mentioning Rosen at all in his inquest findings. Mendelsohn and Cantor put forward Wilson’s communications with Myerson, who had shared a post describing Wilson as ‘scum of the earth’, as evidence to support their claim of aggressive behaviour. The judge ruled that it did nothing of the sort
  • Joanne Bell and journalist Adam Cailler – more well-known anti-left activists whose correspondence with Wilson was put forward by the defence as supporting evidence. The judge ruled, “I can find nothing in the emails which is particularly aggressive or which points to conduct of the kind said to demonstrate the pleaded propensity [to aggression]”.

[Skwawkbox]

[quaere: surely Skwawkbox meant to print that Hirsch is an “opponent” of “left antisemitism“? I suppose they meant that he is a proponent of the concept].

“The usual suspects”, or some of them. Most of the above have, in the past, tweeted about me.

The Jew barrister and now (if he is still allowed to sit) Recorder, Myerson, should be removed from any judicial or quasi-judicial positions. He was repeatedly vituperative about me on Twitter in the past, dozens of times. A pro-Israel fanatic, hypocrite, and liar; and that is only what is plain from his own tweets.

I was unaware that Myerson has already been sanctioned by the authorities for unethical conduct. Boot him out.

Most if not all of those mentioned above are also supporters of the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], which was behind the recent (2023) prosecution of me, via the suborned police and “Clown” Prosecution Service, and under the notorious “bad law” of the Communications Act 2003, s.127 (recommended for repeal by the Law Commission).

See also: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/07/18/theyre-coming-to-take-me-away-ha-ha/.

Incidentally, I have just looked at Myerson’s Twitter/X account for the first time in many months. He has tweeted at least 20 times already today (though nothing about his above embarrassments), and it is only 1400 hrs. He must be busy…

[Update, 3 August 2024: Myerson was removed as a Recorder (p/t judge) in early July, though he was allowed to pretend that he had “resigned”].

Very diplomatic. Very “Christian”, really; almost too nice to the above tribe that set upon him like a pack of hyenas. Dr. Wilson is, after his victory, “turning the other cheek” in a way, but do not forget that other Biblical injunction— “do not give that which is holy to the dogs, lest they turn and rend you“.

Leading “activists” and/or supporters of the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA) —one in particular— are also, or have been, serial online trolls, targeting mainly (but not solely) women, and with a sick glee. Some have now gone up the chimney or become actually/clinically insane, but others remain, making false accusations to police, regulatory bodies etc.

So Myerson tests whether any particular tweeter is a Jew? If anyone of a social-national viewpoint were to do that, Myerson and/or his friends would be straight down to the local police station to make a malicious complaint of either “racial harassment” or “grossly offensive” online posting.

Robinson is a half-Jew, so may not be completely impartial re. Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Robinson_(journalist).

On the other hand, some Zionist Jews think that Robinson is a little too fair-minded, noting Israel’s atrocities on air:

“They” never have a small problem; it is always “outrageous” (etc).

Karma applies to peoples and nations as well as individuals. Somewhere down the line, payback happens. Group karma. cf. Israel.

I have many reservations about China, its treatment of animals, lack of concern for individual freedom etc, but this is one of the world’s great peoples, and its achievements since the death of Mao have been more than impressive.

The rate of increase of the world population, so marked in the 19th and 20th centuries, has slowed to an effective halt. The above graphic shows that the fall in fertility and births is not confined to Europe.

Only in Africa, and a few parts of Asia (notably, Pakistan), are populations much increasing via births.

In the UK, the large increase in population over the past half-century has been (especially in the past 30 years) almost entirely by reason of unwanted mass immigration, much of it from Pakistan and other “brown/black” countries, and births to immigrants. Migration invasion.

“Hand over control of the Zaporozhye nuclear plant and they will stop shelling it ,”

Maria Zakharova quoted the famous ultimatum that could be heard on April 15 at the UN Security Council meeting where attacks on the nuclear power plant were discussed. –

“The collective West, led by the USA, continues to turn a blind eye to the crimes of the Kiev regime. The Western countries played along and literally exposed themselves and the Zelenskyi regime. They engage in blackmail, and blackmail related to nuclear energy,” emphasizes Zakharova.“

“Ukraine ignores US warnings to stop flights drones on Russian territory” The United States fears retaliatory strikes from Russia, but Kyiv is ignoring warnings from the United States to stop striking the Russian Federation, The Economist reports.

The US is concerned about rising oil prices, possible retaliatory strikes and an uncontrolled confrontation that could put Kyiv at a disadvantage. Serious concerns grew in late March when Russia caused major damage to Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. The attacks exposed gaps in air defense systems and vulnerability to the new Russian low-altitude cruise missile Kh-69, which destroyed the Trypillya Thermal Power Plant despite being within range of the Patriot air defense systems.”

“Sharon Ruf Offer, a former representative of the Knesset, made a confession in the studio of Channel 14 of the Israel: Why don’t we tell people the truth?! We have lost the north of Israel. The damage that Hezbollah caused us is 6 times more than the war with Lebanon.

I want to cry. Who would have thought that Israel would fall now? Tens of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes six months ago. During this period, the number of cases of divorce, and violence increased.“

Ha ha! I feel almost sorry for them.

True, but I do not recall Matt Goodwin complaining at any time over the past years when the Jewish lobby (which he seems to support 100%) has had closed down meetings, speeches, conferences, even musical entertainments; not to mention “their” continual harassment of various people, including me.

“Ukrainians view the West’s promises to support Kiev “as long as necessary” as an empty story, Politiko writes. ” Due to the weakening of Western support, Ukraine is experiencing an acute shortage not only of weapons and men, but also of the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Neither the population, nor the soldiers, nor their leadership anymore believe in the victory of Kiev. Russian leader Vladimir Putin may never have been closer to his goal “, the paper writes.”

The Western states may supply arms and ammunition but cannot supply fighting soldiers. The Kiev regime is running out of soldiers, and new recruits. It can only be a matter of time before there is a general advance of Russian forces across both Eastern Ukraine and the Black Sea littoral towards Odessa.

From the newspapers

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/disgraced-barrister-henry-hendron-bought-drugs-from-clients-loses-appeal-bid-b1151568.html

“A barrister who was jailed for asking clients to sell him drugs has failed in a bid to overturn his 14-month prison sentence.

Henry Hendron, 42, sent messages asking for help with drugs supply, after meeting the men through his work as a criminal lawyer.

Delivering the ruling, Recorder of Sheffield Judge Jeremy Richardson, sitting with Lord Justice William Davis and Mr Justice Calver, said Hendron’s case is “unique” and added: “It is to be hoped that remains the case.”

Dismissing the appeal, the judges concluded: “The sentence here is not excessive, still less manifestly excessive in all the circumstances.”

Hendron had built up a profile as a barrister to the stars, with prominent clients including the Earl of Cardigan and Tory MP Nadine Dorries.

But Hendron’s career floundered after his 18-year-old boyfriend Miguel Jimenez was found dead at the flat the couple shared in Pump Court, Temple, in the City of London, after taking a lethal cocktail of so-called chemsex party drugs.

He admitted buying £1,000 worth of M-cat or Meow Meow and GBL from award-winning former BBC producer Alex Parkin and was handed a community order with 140 hours of unpaid work at the Old Bailey in 2016.

The Court of Appeal noted that Hendron had not been disbarred after that conviction, noting “unusual and very serious” feature of his case.

He was suspended by the Bar Standards Board for three years following his 2016 convictions.

He was reprimanded and prohibited from undertaking public access work for two years following a disciplinary hearing in 2021 after holding himself out as a barrister on websites while suspended.“

[Evening Standard]

When I blogged about the injustices around my own (in my case, wrongful and unlawful) disbarment of late 2016, I contrasted the repeatedly lenient treatment of Hendron with my own Draconian “sentence”. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

In that blog post, I speculated as to whether Hendron knew something discreditable about senior figures or, perhaps, was being treated leniently by reason of some other kind. I am still none the wiser on that, however.

It seems, on the face of that Evening Standard report, though, that Hendron is still not disbarred. Curiouser and curiouser.

Elon Musk has enormous amounts of money, but when it comes to society and politics, he simply howls into the void like many another on Twitter.

In order to have real impact, an “uber-wealthy” person of that sort has to engage directly, either by funding people and projects (Bill Gates), or by himself becoming a kind of political figure (Donald Trump).

“My friend grew up in New England where they have pigeons. Apparently they also hate them. He was always saying bad things about pigeons until I pointed something out that he never thought of before: We domesticated pigeons. They are (nearly) all over the world because HUMANS BROUGHT THEM THERE. And, they were more than pets. They carried messages. People raced them. They lived spoiled lives as honored human companions for centuries. Then we got telephones and we threw them out like trash. Literally, we threw them away. Their species had already been fully domesticated and they could not survive in the wild; they lost all their survival instincts during the centuries that they lived caged by people. That is why they live in cities with people instead of in a forest somewhere. It’s OUR fault. And not only did we throw them away, but now humans curse them as “winged rats;” casting them as pests. But they don’t know how to live without us, and their instincts tell us that they should trust us. So, they continue to come up to humans and beg for food, because it’s the only survival skill left in their genes. They love us because they were bred by us to feel that way, and yet we hate them.”

Good points. Urban pigeons can be a nuisance, true, but they also clear up rubbish people throw away or drop in the streets, like crisps and chips. In the end, they are God’s creatures.

“Ukrainian Prime Minister Shmygal asked the West for air defense “to protect Russian cities”: “We need artillery and ammunition to reach parity with the Russians, we need F-16s to shoot down Russian planes near the front line, we also need air defense systems to protect Russian cities…

Sorry, Ukrainian cities where civilians live and where enterprises are located that are under threat from the Russian side. All of this will help us achieve victory, and will also set the stage for recovery, growth and prosperity.”

Freudian slip.

Uncharted waters. Trump is on trial on serious Federal charges, yet seems likely to win the 2024 Election. I suppose that, if elected, and also convicted, he can pardon himself! Not a mere jest; it is a long time since I passed an exam in U.S. Constitutional Law (1991 or 1992), and that topic was not on the paper (needless to add), but I think that there would be nothing to prevent Trump at least purporting to pardon himself (and/or those involved in the events at the Capitol several years ago).

Whitty strikes me as the sort of bureaucrat who, as Khrushchev said of Malenkov, should never be given power (admittedly, the second part might have applied to Khrushchev himself).

US aid and military involvement in the Israel-Iran fight might yet lead to entanglement and a possible superpower nuclear confrontation; US military involvement, directly, in the Russia-Ukraine war would almost certainly lead to nuclear war before very long. That is the difference. That, and the fact that the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby effectively rules over American politics. Most of their politicians are under control, basically.

Ha ha! So 51% of young Frenchmen are willing to fight for “Ukraine” (the regime in Kiev)? If it were even 5%, I should be amazed.

“The shark can smell blood in the water a mile off when it is hungry” [John le Carre, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold].

The Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby would like to criminalize any criticism of Jewish or Israeli behaviour, and also any positive or even neutral analysis of the enemies of Israel.

Britain was once known as the home of free speech. No longer.

Incidentally, should any generous persons like to help me defray the Court-imposed costs of my recent free speech trial, the link is here: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J. If you cannot donate, at least share the link. Thank you.

A much-overworked word, “top”, as shown in that tweet. Likewise, barristers and other lawyers are often (and usually wrongly) described as “top“; as in “top lawyer Mark Lewis“, which years ago was used re. Mark Lewis, the Jewish Zionist solicitor briefly well-known a decade or more ago during the “phonehacking” affair, who fled to Israel several years ago following his “conviction” by a Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal for having posted some violently insulting social media posts.

Despite Lewis having been described for several years as “top lawyer” by various msm outlets, Lewis’s own Counsel at that Tribunal hearing said that Lewis owned only his clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 per week.

Moral of the story? Never trust the msm.

If anyone wants to read more about Lewis, use the search box on the blog.

The flip-side of “top” may be “disgraced“, as (again, wrongly) used about me by “the usual suspects” and their scribbler dupes in the msm; in my case by reason of my (wrongful and unlawful) disbarment in 2016 and my recent conviction for having allegedly posted [the truth] on this blog.

“Top“, in that sense, is what might be called “Sun-speak”, used in tabloid “newspapers” but rarely in real life, along with “scorcher“, “fury“, “tot” (for a small child, not a small drink of spirits), and”far-right” (social-national) etc.

Hasn’t Goodwin worked out what forces are really behind the EU and NWO? (((you know who)))…

“They” always try to shut down free speech.

Goodwin may need to not antagonize “the usual suspects”, though.

Controlled opposition.

I often say that, but some (pro-immigration) people think that they “know better” than me…

It is very unlikely that Israel will still be in existence in 2034.

“Israel will surely respond to the Iranian attack, the question is in scale, instruments and time, according to Grigory Lukyanov, research associate of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Israel’s entire security strategy is built on the maxim that no attack on Israeli territory can go unanswered and that the answer must exceed the magnitude of the damage and the blow inflicted on Israel and its interests.”

What Gullis prefers not to understand is that people are voting, or intending to vote, Reform UK not because they expect their candidates, most of them, to win Commons seats or other elected positions (beyond local council level), but precisely because they know that voting Reform UK will hole the Conservative ship below the waterline, and sink it, along with the Conservative candidates.

Those voting Reform UK want to punish the existing government of clowns, even at the expense of inviting into government another bunch of clowns possibly even more toxic.

Polls show that almost all Reform UK voters believe that Reform UK will win few seats; even in their own constituencies where they vote, most (60%) do not believe that the Reform candidate will win.

What those voters are doing is making a protest vote against the whole rigged Westminster system, FPTP etc; they are also punishing the Conservative Party for being so useless generally, and especially on immigration and migration invasion, on law and order, and on things like NHS services. They are passing judgment on the Conservative Party, as well as saying “we want and deserve better” and “we want our country back” (which latter may or may not be possible now).

Reform UK voters, most of them, would never vote directly for Labour, not even tactically, but are going to steel themselves to vote Reform UK knowing that Labour victories, and some LibDem victories, will be the result. If Reform UK wins a few Commons seats, then (for those voters) that would be a bonus.

An appeal such as that by Gullis probably encourages Reform UK intending voters to stick to their guns.

[Update, 15 May 2024: Well, Gullis has now had his answer— Labour won that mayoral election, if only “by a neck, cleverly”, as they say on the racecourse. Labour 37.8%, Conservative 37.5%, Independent 11.7%, Reform UK 5.8%, and Greens 5.2%. The Con candidate would probably have won if Reform UK did not exist; most Reform UK voters would have voted Con, were the present Government not so utterly useless. There were few votes separating Con and Lab— 1,508 votes, in fact. The Reform UK candidate attracted 34,471 votes… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_West_Midlands_mayoral_election].

The result of constant msm propaganda. There is no reason for there to be a Third World War because of either the Ukraine situation or that in and around Israel, but certain groups in the West, mainly, are pushing for war.

Incidentally, what you rarely see is how Israel is, potentially, a threat, indeed a nuclear missile threat, to the UK and the rest of Europe:

I think that he means “unquestioning“, but yes.

Both UK and USA— corrupted.

Well, it could not be more clear what (((group))) is pulling Starmer’s strings. Everything about him, his political life, his personal life etc, makes that very clear. Putting it clearly, Starmer is a puppet.

When I had a Twitter account, it was one of a handful of individual Twitter accounts Icke followed; later, of course, the Jew-Zionist/pro-Israel cabal had me expelled, by pressuring Twitter (in 2018). Icke too, though he has returned, and I have not (and do not intend to return).

I once (about 1980) read an unpublished typescript in a dusty file (typed and placed in said file sometime around 1930 but a translation from a German original of about 1923) talking about how, within about 200 years (i.e. sometime around 2100 and thereafter), a web of part-human, part-robot “creatures” would criss-cross the Earth, but above the Earth (if I recall aright), and human beings would be to some extent dependent upon and in thrall to that web of intelligent human-robot creatures.

Was that just imaginative nonsense? I do not know but, looking at the Internet, looking at the rapid progress of AI, and looking at how human society is today already very dependent upon computerized systems etc (not only for physical activities but also for decision-making), I cannot simply dismiss it as over-imaginative speculation, or even a hoax.

I should like to read that manuscript again, if it still exists, but unfortunately I now have no access to the vault where it was stored.

Matt Goodwin, whose free speech has been interfered with, is very vocal in favour of Israel and the UK Jewish lobby. They are the main group shutting down free speech in the UK, and have been for decades. Goodwin should reflect on that old American saying “what goes around comes around“…

So how are we in the social-national world going to deal with the regime of those who will be “elected” dictators of the UK in less than a year (maybe only a few months)? Answers “on a postcard”, but don’t expect me to publish them— free speech is already all but dead in the UK, and the expected Labour Friends of Israel government of Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Wes Streeting etc will finish the job, destroying what little is left of freedom of expression in this country.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13307015/Charity-shop-golliwog-doll-sale-window-raise-money-cancer.html

[the “offending” golliwog; photo: Daily Mail]

“A charity shop in North Yorkshire has caused a stir amongst local residents after putting a golliwog doll up for sale in its window for £4.50.

The teddy, considered by many to be a racist caricature of black people, was first spotted by shoppers in the window of Preloved, in Skipton, on Wednesday.

It was removed on the following Friday, as some residents labelled the display as ‘disgusting’ and vile’.

However, it is still understood to be for sale for £4.50 inside the store, which raises money for Cancer Support Yorkshire.

Resident Anne, a retired carer, said: ‘I was tempted to buy it just to remove it. 

In February 2023, police seized a collection of golliwog dolls from The White Hart Inn in Essex, following reports of a ‘suspected hate crime’.

A month later, the pub was forced to close its doors, after Heineken and Carlsberg told the owners to stop serving their beer.

A maintenance firm also refused to work on site.”

[Daily Mail]

The hysterical “anti-racist” nonsense continues, though I expect that it is confined to a relatively small if not very small minority. “Retired carer Anne” in that report, if she exists at all, is obviously a malicious old ideologue; she even went into the charity shop to harangue the staff. “Was tempted to buy it just to remove it” but…did not do so. “ I think I might go back and buy it just to stop it being displayed.” Yeah, right… Loony “anti-racist” cretin.

There is, in fact, nothing wrong with the golliwog as a mascot or toy; it was not meant to be anti-black or anything; golliwogs are or were (I supposed all but banned now) akin to teddy bears— beloved toys or “inanimate” companions for young children, as seen in the image below (said to be from the 1950s, though it may be earlier):

There is a madness abroad in this country, a kind of witch-hunt mentality, promoted by “the usual suspects”, the idiotic “antifa” dupes and, ultimately, by those behind the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

Akin to the controlled opposition organizations and online “activists” of similar type seen in the UK.

As someone who spent about 3 years in Australia as a child aged 10-13 (early 1967-late 1969), I think that that is probably so, more or less.

We have seen this many times before: “global warming”/”climate change”, “Covid” “pandemic” (scamdemic/panicdemic), not to mention (virtually non-existent) “far-right” “terrorism” “danger” etc. The self-interested, ideologically-biased, often very very peculiar “experts” in this field or that.

Liz Truss and Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng) should be punished, but I think I had better not suggest anything too specific on the blog, now that (as my recent trial indicated) free speech in the UK is all but dead, killed off by… shall I say… “them”…

Golliwogs are not the only victims of the new UK poundland police state (which will no doubt become even more insanely Stasi-like under Yvette Cooper and Starmer, the post-2024 Labour Friends of Israel tyrants); free speech is another victim, as is general freedom of expression.

Incidentally, my crowdfunder is still open for any donations to defray the costs of that trial. Thank you, and thanks for sharing the link: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J.

Tel Aviv, other cities, and some thoughts about “new” cities

The events in Israel/Palestine have sparked a few thoughts.

Not very beautiful, but it is impressive all the same, when one thinks that, 150 years ago, there was very little if any urbanization, though the port of Jaffa, the original town in part of the location, has existed for 1,800 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa.

“In 1906, a group of Jews, among them residents of Jaffa, followed the initiative of Akiva Aryeh Weiss and banded together to form the Ahuzat Bayit (lit. “homestead”) society. One of the society’s goals was to form a “Hebrew urban centre in a healthy environment, planned according to the rules of aesthetics and modern hygiene”.[32] The urban planning for the new city was influenced by the garden city movement.[33] The first 60 plots were purchased in Kerem Djebali near Jaffa by Jacobus Kann, a Dutch citizen, who registered them in his name to circumvent the Turkish prohibition on Jewish land acquisition.[34] Meir Dizengoff, later Tel Aviv’s first mayor, also joined the Ahuzat Bayit society.[35][36] His vision for Tel Aviv involved peaceful co-existence with Arabs.[37][unreliable source]

On 11 April 1909, 66 Jewish families gathered on a desolate sand dune to parcel out the land by lottery using seashells. This gathering is considered the official date of the establishment of Tel Aviv. The lottery was organised by Akiva Aryeh Weiss, president of the building society.[38][39] Weiss collected 120 sea shells on the beach, half of them white and half of them grey. The members’ names were written on the white shells and the plot numbers on the grey shells. A boy drew names from one box of shells and a girl drew plot numbers from the second box. A photographer, Abraham Soskin (b. 1881 in Russia, made aliyah 1906[40]), documented the event. The first water well was later dug at this site, located on what is today Rothschild Boulevard, across from Dizengoff House.[41] Within a year, Herzl, Ahad Ha’am, Yehuda Halevi, Lilienblum, and Rothschild streets were built; a water system was installed; and 66 houses (including some on six subdivided plots) were completed.”

[Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tel_Aviv].

Note, though, how even those first steps by the Jews were accompanied by the acquisition of land by subterfuge: “Jacobus Kann, a Dutch citizen, who registered them in his name to circumvent the Turkish prohibition on Jewish land acquisition“… [Wikipedia].

[Jaffa]
[Jaffa in foreground, with Tel Aviv in background]

The city of Tel Aviv grew rapidly as Jewish immigration increased in the 1920s and 1930s:

[Shadal Street, Tel Aviv, 1926]
[Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv, late 1930s]
[Allenby Street, Tel Aviv, 1940]

It could be argued that, like so much of the world, Israel/Palestine would have been better had it stayed under European, in this case British, rule (the British having conquered the region during WW1, and then administered it under League of Nations mandate).

I have seen other “instant” cities, at least cities which have been founded from effectively nothing and then have mushroomed quite quickly (in historical terms). Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) for one.

Incidentally, “Harare” was, pre-1980, the name of an African “township” (poor suburb outside the city).

“[Salisbury] was founded in 1890 by the Pioneer Column, a small military force of the British South Africa Company, and named Fort Salisbury after the British Prime Minister Lord Salisbury. Company administrators demarcated the city and ran it until Southern Rhodesia achieved responsible government in 1923.”

[Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harare]

[central Salisbury, Rhodesia, 1930]
[Jameson Avenue, Salisbury —now Samora Machel Avenue, Harare— in 1970]
[jacaranda trees in Salisbury, Rhodesia, now Harare, Zimbabwe]

I remember well how struck I was when I saw the flowering trees and bushes almost everywhere in the central and near-central parts of Salisbury. I have never been able to discover what were the quite large dark-green trees with football-sized spherical orange flowers that I saw quite often in 1977. Very beautiful.

[Monomatapa Hotel, Salisbury, Rhodesia, built 1974. I recall having a couple of beers there in 1977; someone abseiled down it for charity the same year; incidentally, that building project was completed despite UN sanctions]
[Eastgate Centre, Harare; only built in 1996, so not there when I saw the city in 1977; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastgate_Centre,_Harare]

In a way, a city such as Salisbury (now Harare) was even more impressive as a testament to human enterprise than somewhere such as Tel Aviv, which after all grew upon an existing port, Jaffa (or Yafa; the Jews call it Yafo). The location of Salisbury was almost terra nullius; only a few African tribesmen were in the area at the time of its foundation as a fort in 1890.

Population increases are always key. The present Harare has over 2M inhabitants; Tel Aviv (including autonomous suburbs etc) about 4M.

Another city, where I lived for a full year [1996-1997] is Almaty, Kazakhstan, founded (like Salisbury) as a fortified stockade in the late 19thC and called, by its Russian founders, Verny. Now, a city of over 2M inhabitants.

I find rather fascinating cities —and whole states and societies— which grow from almost nothing in a relatively short space of time. One, which I saw in its construction phase, was Milton Keynes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Keynes]. I knew it for a few months in early 1977; on returning a few times about 30 years later, the difference was incredible. Whole suburbs where only fields were before; a railway station where none existed before; a population of over 250,000 (in 1977, only a few thousand); bus services (in 1977, effectively non-existent); filling stations; large modern hotels.

I appeared as Counsel a couple of times in the years 2002-2007 at Milton Keynes County Court; in 1977, there was no such court; neither was there the whole Central Milton Keynes district where the Court and the railway station etc are now located.

I saw Doha, Qatar, in 2001. A sleepy and not unpleasant city. When I returned in 2008, Doha was already unrecognizable, a city of concrete and skyscrapers. Since then, a further transformation along the same lines. A kind of Manhattan-look in the desert, and on the Red Sea.

One thing I can say which is positive about the Israelis is that much —not all— of their town planning is pretty good, from what I have seen from photos etc. Many of their suburbs and towns seem well-planned, with trees, parks and leisure facilities.

Of course, the foundation and sometimes fast development of cities has a flip side: cities can sometimes disappear quickly as well.

Saudi Arabia is a useless, corrupt, decadent and hypocritical pseudo-theocracy.

“Did you know that the USA wanted us to completely destabilize the middle-east and turn it upside down? Did anyone ever tell you this? Has there been any public dialogue about this? Did Senators or congress denounce these plans!? NO, they have not!!” “They told me that they were invading Iraq and I asked, WHY!? They said, ‘sir, it’s much worse than that, we’re going to destroy 7 countries in 5 years’ : We’re going to start in Iraq, then Syria, then Lebanon, then Libya, then Somalia, then Sudan and we’re gonna finish with Iran.

The USA and allies already destroyed and demolished every country on this list except Iran – Who are the real terrorists that are terrorizing the entire planet? How can you hear this and not immediately think : Who the fuck is controlling the USA military and what is their real purpose? Who do they work for?

If you can’t use your critical thinking skills then you really don’t stand a chance at figuring shit out. The mainstream media creates your perception of reality on behalf of the globalists.
