Interesting. I wonder what the truth of it is.

Is it just my own subjective perception— or does Charles not look uneasy in that photograph, as if he does not find himself very credible?

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown” [Shakespeare, Henry IV Part 2]

The Kiev regime killing their own soldiers? An accident? Or what?

I have often wondered over the past year why the Russian side has left most of the rail system in Ukraine intact. Is there some special reason, or is it just slackness and/or lack of capability?

Another hypocrite.

Oliver Reed— quite a character. Despite the hellraising reputation and lifestyle, he could be quite pleasant and polite. My parents told me that they had met him (would have been in the late 1970s, I think, though maybe early 1980s) when stopping off for a drink at an inn on the Hog’s Back in Surrey, not far from Reed’s large Victorian country house. He was at the bar with a (male) friend, and was interesting and courteous, they said.

The conversation had ended prematurely when the publican whispered to Reed that “she’s outside!“, at which Reed and his friend ran out the back way, behind the bar. A moment later a blazingly-angry woman arrived, and said to the barman “has he been in?“, to which the barman diplomatically said “haven’t seen him“! She then stalked out. This turned out to have been Reed’s then wife, Jacquie.

Yes, Oliver Reed. The sort of character rarely seen then, and never seen now (arguende). Descended from Peter the Great, supposedly, and someone who started a romance with a 16-y-o schoolgirl when he was 42 (they later married, when she was about 21 and he was about 47).

The darker side of Reed: https://www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-mail/20130706/282724814519990.

…but “Fr Twohig said: ‘‘Oliver Reed was a very nice fellow. He wasn’t such a bad egg as is said.

‘He was quite shy and he used to need a few shots for Dutch courage. Drink set him off but he was a decent chap and very kind.’’

The generality of the public want people to be either saints or sinners, but few people are unalloyedly either. “Blame and praise alike befall, when a dauntless man’s spirit is black and white mixed, like the magpie’s plumage” [Wolfram von Eschenbach, Parzival]

You see that wish of many to perceive people in a very rigid saint/sinner way in almost every political or social (or historical) scenario: the contending forces of the Second World War have to be either “evil” or “good”, despite it being obvious that bad things were done by all major forces contending.

The same is true of contemporary social or political matters in the UK. Those living on State benefits are often seen as either “scroungers” or “fraudsters” (though by some as suffering “victims” of society). Both can be true, even in one individual case, but people only want black and white, not grey.

Likewise, anyone who has served in the Army is now (following the American usage) a “veteran” and, if ever anywhere near a war zone, quite likely a “hero”, a usage that the Sun “newspaper” started in the early 1980s, when anyone who had set foot in the Falklands during the campaign was a “Falklands hero”.

Nurses of course are all seen as good, or even “angels”. Same, more or less, with doctors etc.

There is now no or very little nuance.

Funny. In 1988, when I first went to Poland, driven by a former schoolfriend who had met a Polish girl in London when I very nearly slipped into the Thames and drowned— long story…), he opined, after we had spent some weeks there (I think about 6 weeks, in the end) that maybe poor Poland, then still under socialist control, might one day overtake the UK and France, in the Biblical “the last shall be first” way. At the time, I thought it highly unlikely, but look now…

In fact, my addiction to Google Earth and its Street View has revealed to me in recent years how much Poland has changed since I was there in 1988 and 1989 (I went several times over a couple of years). The roads look better by far than most of the UK ones now, especially the motorways and main highways that now exist. As for Warsaw, completely different.

The above changes must be interesting to my then friend and driver (I did not drive at the time), who married that Polish girl a year or so later, in the Autumn of 1989 (I was the best man, and the wedding was a lavish affair held in the St. Mary Basilica in Krakov, in the main market square).

[the nave of the Basilica of St. Mary, Krakov, where in 1989 a darkly-besuited Millard played the role of best man at a wedding reminiscent of that of Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren in the epic film, El Cid]

Incidentally, the last I heard, some years ago, the pair were still married, and living in leafy Buckinghamshire with their two teenage children (who by now must be well into their twenties).

The Western msm, especially in the USA and UK, is more or less controlled, in its output, by Jews and those working in the Jewish and Israeli interest.

The same is true of, eg, UK governmental and legal systems.

Madness. Escalation of the conflict. Those missiles are not capable of reaching Moscow or Petersburg from Ukrainian territory, but are still able to reach far inside Russia. How long can it be before at least tactical nuclear weapons are used in Ukraine?

At one time, I wondered why the Palestinians in Gaza did not try to replicate the German V-1 technology of the Second World War era (which is almost all now openly available). My conclusion in the end was that the slow maximum speed of the V-1 (about 400 mph) would make it very vulnerable to Israeli jet fighters as well as to ground-to-air defensive missiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb.

One has to look at the big picture— over the past 34 years since 1989, the major enemies of Israel have one-by-one been neutralized, one way or another: Iraq, Egypt, Syria, and also Libya and Lebanon. The only state of importance left standing now is Iran, which under the Shah was not hostile to Israel but became so after the Islamic Republic came into being in 1979. As for the Gulf Arabs, they are venal creatures, and have been well and truly suborned.

The difference lies in the (probable) fact that Peter Tatchell actually still believes in the idea that the UK is “a society under law”, whereas Bilderberg-attendee and Jew-Zionist-lobby puppet, expenses cheat, and fraud, Ed Balls, a globalist System politician turned businessman and talking head, knows from his own experience in government that that is now largely not the case. Yes, the UK has laws (so do North Korea, China etc), but we are less and less the kind of society we used to be, a real “society under law”.

There are several reasons for that, including the malicious Jew-Zionist lobby, which abuses law for its own purposes, and the fact that the UK is less and less a nation, as against being a place where a collection of heterogeneous peoples and types live.

That remark of Balls shows the attitude clearly: “there must have been intelligence“, akin to “we do not make mistakes” (the old 1930s NKVD slogan). In other words, the intelligence trumps any civil or legal right.

I recall in the early/mid 1980s, when a Soviet ensemble came to London (and toured the provinces as well), that there was apparently going to be a demonstration by Jews protesting against the imprisonment of Shcharansky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natan_Sharansky].

The British impressario, and the Russians in charge of the dance group, were told by a sergeant from the Special Branch that the UK authorities were aware that, on the opening night in London, there would be a demonstration by Zionist Jews, but that it would be non-violent and would consist of several Jews rising from their seats (mostly prominent seats in the stalls, i.e. near the stage) and shouting “free Shcharansky!“.

That intelligence turned out to be entirely accurate. Whether Special Branch or the Security Service, MI5, had an agent inside the planning group of the demonstrators, or whether Zionist leaders had met with the UK authorities and then been (in effect) given permission to make the demonstration, on the basis that it would happen at the start of the performance, not be repeated, and not be violent, I do not know.

I cannot now recall the name of the ensemble. I think not the Bolshoi. It was, I think, an ad hoc collection of stars from several Soviet companies. Maybe the “Moscow Classical Ballet”.

I think that the Special Branch even knew in what row of seats almost all the demonstrators would stand up.

Shcharansky was in fact freed not very long after (though it must have seemed a long time from the perspective of a prisoner in a special-regime camp in the Urals), in 1986, in a swap involving several spies. He later became a minister of the Israeli state.

To my surprise, I see that the British impressario [https://ae.linkedin.com/in/peter-b-46459b151] is still rolling; he must be at least in his late seventies now. I believe that he almost went out of business at one time (in the 1980s), but seems to have bounced back irrepressibly. There are people like that.

Stray memories

Happened to read this, about the Bond Bug car: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_Bug.

I actually rode in one of them once, from Salisbury Plain to Central London. I think that it was the early Autumn of 1978. The driver was a friend of a friend, and we had all, with others, been on a 2-day parachute course.

I seem to recall that our journey to London was on a wet and windy Sunday, which might explain in part why the M4 was almost empty (actually, the motorways were not at all as crowded then, compared to today). Not the most direct route to London, but why that route was chosen, I have no idea (after about 45 years).

I remember the car rocking from side to side in the wind on the M4 (the Bug was a three-wheel car, inherently unstable at speed), and also recall the draught from the insecurely sealed plastic/rubber canopy. God knows what would have happened had we been hit by a real car, let alone a commercial truck. I have no doubt that the feeling of insecurity was well-founded. I do not think that either the driver or I myself wore seatbelts (mandatory seatbelt-wearing only came in in 1983), but I doubt that they would have made any difference. The Bond Bug would have been crushed like a beer can in any accident.

I see now from Wikipedia that the Bond Bug had a top speed of 76 mph (I think that we were travelling at about 60), and that only 2,270 were ever made. They are now collectors’ items, with some fetching around £6,000.

Travelling in the Bond Bug was almost as alarming as having to exit a plane at 2,500 ft.

Happy times? A mixed picture. Less constrained times, perhaps.

More tweets etc

Ha ha! I have blogged before about Novara Media’s ahistorical ignorance about the Russian Revolution, the 70+ years of “socialism” in the Soviet Union, and the several decades of socialism in Eastern and Central Europe.

I have also blogged about my own brief visit to the DDR (East Germany) in 1988; brief but eye-opening, as I was driven through the southern part of the country from Poland to West Germany over a couple of days.

I do not propose to repeat today what I have already written about my 1988 impressions, but in those days East and West Germany were very very different, like an apple next to an orange. Take the autobahn I travelled from Gorlitz on the post-1945 border with what is now Poland to the West German border. That autobahn was either the same as when created in the 1930s by the then National Socialist government, or a poor copy of such autobahnen. In West Germany, though, beautiful autobahnen, with smooth surfacing, proper signage etc (and an absence of the cobbles to which sections of the East German one had been reduced).

It is true that the East Germans tried to make socialism work, whereas the Poles more or less said “yes repeat no“, and carried on a parallel society underneath the official one.

Not that East Germany was completely rotten, but much of it was.

Having said that, West Germany had its own problems. Decadence. Complacency.

As for the reunified Germany, I could see when I was last there (about 20 years ago) that there had been a fall in many ways compared to when it was West Germany— rather untidy cities and towns, crowded autobahnen, and a very obvious non-European infestation in Munich and elsewhere. God knows what it must be like today.

While on the subject of socialist repression etc, just saw this:

Saw report about Sudan on TV news. Refugees from Sudan crossing into South Sudan (now an independent state). Except that those refugees were originally from South Sudan, and had fled war in South Sudan to go into Sudan. The war in Sudan is worse now than the one in South Sudan.

Who is trying to pick up the humanitarian pieces via aid agencies etc? The white man (from Europe or elsewhere).

How much better it would be if both Sudan and South Sudan were both ruled by Europeans (British ones, in the past)…

Britain’s £3.2 billion aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales has been reduced to acting as a scrap-yard. Essential pieces of equipment are being ripped out of the stricken warship, a move that raises questions over its long-term future.

The UK’s second carrier has been in dry dock since breaking down off Portsmouth in August 2022.

Now Navy top brass have begun stripping the carrier – a process known as ‘cannibalisation’ – which will render HMS Prince of Wales inoperable for much longer. Lift chains, which allow fighter jets to be raised from below deck, electrical systems and sections of the ship’s gas turbines have been taken out.

[Daily Mail]

So will the few functioning ships of the Royal Navy now be tasked to fight Russia? Or China? Both? Or neither?

The UK armed forces have become a bad joke. They cannot even protect our own borders from migration-invasion by untermenschen.

Better not rename HMS Prince of Wales as the HMS Charles III. If it were to break down again, people might start to see parallels with the Monarchy…

A poem by Rudyard Kipling

The Stranger

The Stranger within my gate.

He may be true or kind,

But he does not talk my talk –

I cannot feel his mind.

I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,

But not the soul behind.

The men of my own stock

They may do ill or well,

But they tell the lies I am wonted to,

They are used to the lies I tell.

And we do not need interpreters

When we go to buy and sell.

The Stranger within my gates,

He may be evil or good,

But I cannot tell what powers control –

What reasons sway his mood;

Nor when the Gods of his far-off land

Shall repossess his blood.

The men of my own stock,

Bitter bad they may be,

But, at least, they hear the things I hear,

And see the things I see;

And whatever I think of them and their likes

They think of the likes of me.

This was my father’s belief

And this is also mine:

Let the corn be all one sheaf –

And the grapes be all one vine,

Ere our children’s teeth are set on edge

by bitter bread and wine.

Not just “Tommy Robinson”. Nick Griffin and the BNP were leading on this for years, but (quelle surprise) were demonized by “the usual suspects”. Even now, Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer says that “more whites than Pakistanis and other Asians are paedophiles“.

Well, Starmer is not telling the whole truth.

Even now, the white European population of England (not UK) is about 81%, and the Asian population “only” 10%. In other words, in proportion to population, the incidence of underage molestation is far higher among the Asian (mainly Pakistani) population.

There is another point. “Grooming” gangs (to use the vulgar usage now part of the law) are almost entirely a South Asian and mostly Pakistani-origin phenomenon in the UK. The white European offenders are mostly lone wolves, not part of organized packs. In other words, the phenomena are entirely different in type.

Incidentally, all Starmer’s recent (and not so recent) pronouncements show what a bloody awful Prime Minister he would —and almost certainly will— be, but after 13 years of a pseudo-“Conservative” “shitshow” (in the elegant word of Johnny Mercer MP), it is of course hard to argue that he would be much worse than the present idiot, the Indian money-juggler Sunak, or his four predecessors in the period 2010-2023.

In relation to the above, I have just seen this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_England#Ethnicity.

In 1981, 95.4% of the population of England was described as “white”; in 2021, only 81%. Now? Probably well below 80%. A stunning collapse in only 40 years.

(and that is even, and absurdly, counting non-whites such as “Roma” gypsies as “white”: see that Wikipedia page).

Looks like “Sven Longshanks” was slightly unlucky not to have had a jury unable to come to a verdict on those 10 counts. Still, there it is.

See: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-65142942.

Looking back over the past few years, it is clear that social-national commentators have faced a wave of State repression, instigated mainly by Jewish pressure groups and lobbying organizations, though carried on to prosecution mainly via the police and CPS.

As regular readers of this blog will know, I myself have been targeted, though mainly unsuccessfully to date, and for nearly a decade now: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/; and https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Tip of the iceberg.

It is clear to me, though, that the brunt of the repression has been borne by those operating podcast “radio” stations, YouTube channels etc: Sven Longshanks, Alison Chabloz, and others. The System fears those with large potential audiences.

Some Hutchinson residents are angry“, says the talking head. Yes, I can just imagine who or at least what “they” might be…(((you know who))).

There are few if any white “grooming gangs”; there never were. As noted above in this blog, most white sex offenders act alone. There may be the odd exception here or there. The Moors Murderers were not a “grooming gang” but merely two evil and/or crazed lunatics.

In the end, there will be a war across the Western world. Not solely a race war, but also a culture war and/or ideology-war and/or a living standards or lifestyle war. We are just now seeing and hearing the opening shots, mostly still metaphorical.

Neutral Good

People who are Neutral Good are guided by their conscience and typically act altruistically, with only secondary regard for whether their actions are lawful or in line with cultural expectations or traditions. Neutral Good individuals have no problems with what is lawful as such, and nor are they rebels by nature, but they believe in furthering kindness and good deeds through whatever means seem necessary to them. If fostering good means supporting an organized society, then that is what must be done. If good can only come about through the overthrow of the existing social order, then so be it. For many who are Neutral Good, insistence on either lawfulness or rebellion is seen as detriments to or distractions from the greater goal of promoting true kindness in the world.” [https://www.idrlabs.com/moral-alignment/test.php].

At first, I was thinking “April Fool” about that Telegraph report, but apparently not so (published on 29 April).

Yesterday, I noted on the blog how the Patreon donor mugs (each sending between £3.50 and £44 a month to “Jack Monroe”), once numbered well over 800, fell back to about 600 late last year, then (yesterday) to 460. Today— 458. It seems that even some of those utter mugs are waking up, slowly.

Unreality is everywhere now. Not just the “trans” nonsense but also the fiction that black Africans were prominent in ancient Rome, Tudor England, and even created the ancient Egyptian culture (which we know is rubbish by reason of DNA, apart from anything else). Then there is, or recently has been, the “Covid” “panicdemic” and/or “scamdemic”. What else? The British Empire as something almost entirely evil, the Second World War as “good triumphs over evil” etc, Hitler as both mad and bad (with a little bit of sad, too), and of course the (literally) fabled “gas chambers” narrative.

The above list is merely a part of what has been happening in the Western public forum generally.

The “karma of untruthfulness” can be cancer, and in this case may result in a form of progressive societal cancer, as society becomes ever-more diseased.

American memories

Idly “surfing the net”, I came across a brief obituary of a lady I had met a few times between late 1989 and early 1993, during which years I spent about half my time in the USA (mostly in New Jersey and New York City). I shall not name the lady or her family.

In 1989, I travelled with my then fiancee from New Jersey (near the Jersey Shore) to Fox Chapel, an affluent semi-rural area near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we having been invited to spend Thanksgiving with a family there.

The couple who owned the large, comfortable house were in their fifties, and their daughter, aged about 25, was a friend of my then fiancee. The father of that family was a nuclear scientist, and his wife what the Americans charmingly call a “homemaker”, a much more respectful term, I think, than the Anglo-German terms “housewife” or “hausfrau”. American to the core, they had both been born and brought up in the Mid-West, but had also lived in Belgium, and had travelled very widely, to dozens of countries from Mexico to the Soviet Union.

The house, though on a semi-rural, semi-suburban road with a few other similarly-large houses, had a large hinterland, mostly not so much a “garden” as a tranche of forest; I think they said about 40 acres, where some of Pennsylvania’s millions of deer were often seen.

The lady’s husband was a tough but very decent type, very solid (in both senses), rather like a more intelligent version of John Wayne (to my European perception). He was a fan of American football, and I think that he had played football himself at college (university) level.

I admired the lady’s collection of Palekh lacquer boxes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palekh_miniature], and also their very American cars, his a Cadillac (I forget the model), and hers a Lincoln Town Car, probably my own favourite at the time, though I myself did not have a licence then (I only held a driving licence —a foreign one— from 1999, and a UK one from 2002).

The couple were very hospitable to me; I have always remembered them with good feelings.

I last saw the couple in Maryland, in (I think) 1992.

The lady mentioned died a few years ago, it seems, aged 85 (at that time, at least, her husband was still living). I was unaware until today, not having kept up with any of those I knew or met so long ago.

I have been struck recently by renewed realization at how transient life is in any one incarnation. We must do what we can while we are still on the Earth.

After all, what does “Independence” mean when Scotland would effectively still belong to NATO (and still have submarine and air bases likely to be targeted in any war), when it would apply to rejoin the EU, when it would be still tied-in to the international banking system, and to the UN matrix (eg WHO)? Also, when Scotland would not only continue to be invaded (by migrant-invaders) but also when that would probably only be intensified under an avowedly anti-white, and non-Scot, First Minister (or, by then, “Prime Minister”?) of Scotland?

I see that the latest opinion polls, from a week or so ago, show that support for “Independence”, once not far short of 50%, dropped to 38% after Sturgeon’s resignation. I wonder what the figure will be soon, now that the SNP has a non-white leader, and one who is basically anti-white, and so anti-Scottish (in any real sense)?

As blogged in the past, the SNP, founded in 1934, only had its first MP elected to Westminster in 1967. The SNP contingent in the Commons then varied between 2 and 11 until 2015 (out of Scottish seats numbering between 59 and 72).

Only in 2015 did the First Past The Post tipping-point result in the SNP getting 56 (out of 59) seats, a figure that fell to 35 in 2017 but recovered to 48 in 2019. Next time (2023/2024)?

In the Scottish Parliament, the SNP cadre consists of 64 out of 129 seats, but in local councils in Scotland only 453 out of 1,226 seats.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_National_Party#Electoral_performance

I think that the SNP is going to take a pretty big hit from the Humza Yousaf election, though how much is hard to say.

The SNP has certainly had problems with its leaders: Alex Salmond, who was very “lucky in his jury” when acquitted of sexual assault and attempted rape; then Sturgeon and all the fraud and cronyism allegations; now this…

What may save the SNP from an even bigger hit than would otherwise be the case is the sheer uselessness of both the Conservative Party government and the Labour Party official opposition at Westminster.

Note also, in those tweets above, that neither of the two “controlled opposition” talking heads dared to mention that Humza Yousaf is not, in any real sense, “Scottish” to start with…

Seems that even the Guardian agrees with me, in essence, about the likely slow decline of the SNP. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/27/snp-humza-yousaf-leader-scotland-politics.

One other interesting point to note is that SNP membership is only 72,000, and fewer than 50,000 bothered to vote for a new leader.

As to the new leader, I see that Humza Yousaf has only had one non-political job, a brief stint in a call centre: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humza_Yousaf.

I do not have enough information to assess whether this is the beginning of the end for the Israeli state, but it may be. States usually end as a result of internal dissent and/or decadence. One of the “lessons of history”.

I am not so much interested in Israel as a state, more in its role as a hub for worldwide Jewish power-grabs, propaganda, fraud, and general leeching. As a state, Israel is no worse than any of the Arab or other Muslim states in the Middle East.

“Jack Monroe”

“Jack Monroe”, aka “Bootstrap Cook”, is not so much a “liar” as someone to whom truth and falsehood do not really exist, i.e. someone to whom both lies and statements of truth are interchangeable, and their use dictated solely by their immediate utility to her and various aspects of her fake “poverty” narrative.

As blogged before, “Jack Monroe”, whose sole experience of fires (apart from starting them in her own kitchen while drunk or drugged) was as someone who, for a short while, answered the telephone at the fire brigade in Essex. “Grenfell Tower” was, for her, just another attempt to ride on whatever was currently in the news, for her own financial benefit.

“Jack Monroe” does that, or has done that, in various ways: “LGBTQXYZ”, “single mother”, “struggling mother”, “poor person made good”, “cancer patient”, “ME patient”, “fibromyalgia patient” (etc), “recovering but sober alcoholic”, “victim” generally (especially of “trolls”, meaning those who put forward evidence of her fraudulent claims and behaviours).

I wonder how many “mugs” actually believed the “Jack Monroe” Grenfell Tower fantasy? The real fire happened in West London, 60+ miles from where (non-driver) “Jack Monroe” lives (in the Southend, Essex area). How would a policeman guarding the fire scene even know (or care) who “Jack Monroe” is (I suppose that she thinks, or seems to want to believe, that she is a “celebrity” known to the nation)? Why would a policeman “wave her through” the security cordon? It’s ludicrous, as was or is her claim to have had the plans of the building (how? why?).

What, in any case, could a drunken or drugged young woman without real experience, and who had no reason or locus standi to even be there, be able to contribute? Nothing.

Not only lies, but very obvious lies.

That being so, why did actual “celebrities” of sorts, such as the Jewish TV cook, Nigella Lawson, and the Jewish restaurant critic, Jay Rayner, promote “Jack Monroe” for years after that? In fact until early this year. Also, why did various charities and msm outlets keep promoting “Jack Monroe” until very recently? There’s a kind of semi-conspiratorial “Jimmy Savile” feel about it all.

The only reason why the UK and France are not living under complete Jewish/Zionist tyranny is because the actual numbers of Jews and part-Jews, in proportion to the non-Jews, is small— in the UK, less than half of one percent.

The people, without a leader, without a vanguard party, are disorganized and, therefore, helpless.

In the UK, there is no such vanguard party, not even a germinal one.

We tend to think, at least many people tend to think, that civilization and culture are best-described as a smooth upward spiral or curve, whereas a staggered spiral is more accurate: a period of growth and improvement often followed by a decline, or even a catastrophic fall, before positive evolution can continue.

Two steps forward, one step back“, if you like.

Incredible. See my blog from yesterday for more.

A reference to the Grenfell Tower fire some years ago, after which “Jack Monroe” wrote a pack of lies saying that she went to the scene (60 miles from her home in Essex; she does not drive, either, which in view of her alleged and partly-admitted booze/drug consumption is just as well), and was “waved through” the security cordon by police (who must have known what a huge “celebrity” she was, with her reconstituted tinned pasta —mixed with sardines and curry powder— “food”…), after which she used the plans of the building (how? from where?) to somehow “organize” the scene.

Does any thinking person really believe that any of that was true?

“Jack Monroe” keywords: “fraud”, “conwoman”, “grifter”, “fake”. Among others.

What astounds me, and others, is firstly the sheer relentless and wicked gall of “Jack Monroe”, but then also, maybe more, the wilful gullibility of quite many people who —perhaps desperately— want to believe in something or someone, anything, anyone.

482 utter mugs are still (as of today) sending money to “Jack Monroe” via Patreon, several thousand pounds in total every month.

See my blog from yesterday about that.

I have to admit that, until yesterday, I had never heard of the Greenbelt Festival. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenbelt_Festival. It has, apparently, been happening annually since 1974.

The Wikipedia entry is rather out of date. It speaks of Anita Roddick [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Roddick], the superficially principled “entrepreneuse” (serving “both God and Mammon“?) who died about 16 years ago, in 2007, as if still alive.

More or less true, but to complain about unfairness like that sits badly with me. There is something pathetic about it. Take charge, take power, and order the world the right way…

They never built a civilization, or any culture worthy of the name, and they are unable to maintain the culture and civilization white Europeans have built or, in most cases, even to live in it without being a danger, nuisance or, at the very least, a backward drag.

Black women become fat because white women (and men) are ‘racist’“…

Because “Dr.” Louise Raw has little else in her life except trying to “deplatform” those with social-national (or even conservative-national) views. In socio-political terms, a near-loony.

Maybe, if the USA is stupid enough to launch or provoke a war with Russia, that will be the way to rebuild North America, eliminating unwanted elements at the same time.

The basically post-1945 world order, or international order (UN, World Bank, IMF, NATO, international banking system, decolonization etc), now faces collapse. It may be that a terrible war between NATO (really, the NWO) and Russia will destroy it completely (whatever the notional direct result of that war).

I keep seeing tweets (etc) about how the Russian Army is so inefficient that the NATO armies could easily rout it. Maybe, maybe not. Russia has not committed more than a fraction (exactly how much is uncertain) to Ukraine and, within Ukraine, to Bakhmut/Artyomovsk. Also, the NATO armies have also been shown to have their flaws, looking at, eg, Afghanistan.

I wonder what would really happen if the NATO armies were ever to try to emulate Napoleon and Hitler in invading Russia (something which, in any case, is rendered effectively impossible by reason of Russia’s nuclear deterrent).

Armies such as the Italian, Spanish, Dutch etc, probably the Germans too, are of little real use, having had little recent combat experience.

Even the US and UK armies are now, man for man (and 10%+ of those armies’ troops are now female), probably not very effective. The USA relies on massive force, itself based on advanced technology, air power, and huge numbers, as much as anything.

As said, the Russian nuclear deterrent makes any direct conventional war between Russia and NATO unlikely except as a brief prelude before a nuclear exchange (tactical, but then strategic, if not immediately strategic). Even without that, Russia cannot be conquered. It is too big, and has too large and nationalistic a population. The Chinese might, in theory, try it one day, but I suspect that their ambition would only encompass the former Soviet Far East, perhaps Eastern Siberia, perhaps (less likely) Western Siberia too. Not European Russia.

The above facts indicate to me that the Russians will now be placing most of their defensive eggs in one basket— the nuclear basket.

Other possibilities, less direct, would include bio-weapons and something even more oblique, namely political weaponization.

If Trump, or another “America-Firster”, becomes President after next year’s 2024 election, then Zelensky’s ricebowl may be taken away. Without the huge flow of money, arms, ammunition, and other aid, the Kiev regime would be unable to keep fighting.

Already, there is probably a popular majority in both US and UK against the stoking of the Ukraine war, but that is not reflected either in the System political milieux of either country (or in France or Germany), not reflected in the System msm, nor even on Twitter, the home of the “me too” non-thinkers, and heavily influenced by the Jewish lobby, which of course even more heavily influences and/or controls the msm.

It is not the Germany of the decade that followed the war— broken, dejected and bowed down with a sense of apprehension and impotence. It is now full of hope and confidence. One man has accomplished this miracle. The old trust him, the young idolize him. It is not the admiration accorded to a popular leader. It is the worship of a national hero who has saved his country from utter despondence and degradation. I have never met a happier people.”

Ha ha! The con-woman, “Jack Monroe”, now spinning a line obviously designed by her to reel in more naive and trusting mugs. Muddying the water, too.

She has been doing that, in various ways, for over a decade, has made a very good living from it, and large numbers of utter mugs (482 as of today) are still sending her money every month; thousands of pounds monthly in total.

Exactly. I think that, probably, tweeter “@Kelly_Jackson88” has never met a really and constantly untruthful and bad person. They are fairly rare, but they do exist. Some of that sort just do not stop; they just keep on coming until they are stopped. I mean stopped.

…and there are still idiots aplenty on Twitter who still believe the whole “Jack Monroe” farrago, though “celebrities” such as Jay Rayner and Nigella Lawson, the msm generally, and some charities, i.e. all those who made “Jack Monroe” into a near-“celebrity” in the first place, years ago, have pretty much shown her the cold shoulder now that she has become “mad, bad, and dangerous to know“.

Incidentally, I see a number of Twitter accounts defending her today, but they are mostly accounts using pseudonyms, with 1 or 2 or a few “followers”. In other words, probably “Jack Monroe” herself.

Tweeter “@lookinupatstars” is evidently another one who has views entirely uninformed by facts. Whatever one may think of Jamie Oliver (and I am no fan, that’s for sure), he is at least a genuine chef [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Oliver], whereas the creations of “Jack Monroe”, photographed by her and others, and shown online, look, quite often, like a dog’s dinner; in fact, some of them make me feel sick just looking at them.

“Jack Monroe” has become increasingly bizarre over the past decade, and her claims have become —increasingly?— so impossible to believe that it has occurred to me several times that she tries to “push the envelope” further and wilder just to see whether her (often mentally-unwell) fans will actually swallow her lies and fantasies. Many still do, sadly. Mad.

Despite the scandal(s), “Jack Monroe” still pops up at pseudo-socialist or “social activism” jamborees, occasionally:

Of the dozens of persons featured (about 60), I have only heard of a few: the “Bootstrap Cook” herself, John Sentamu (the black one-time Archbishop of York), Jolyon Maugham (the “controversial” barrister, political activist, and fox-killer) and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, the anti-white pseudo-journalist. Oh, and I have heard the name Brian Eno, but will have to look up who or what he is or was [ah…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Eno]. (I thought that he was some kind of musician; well, now I know).

“Jack Monroe” stands out by virtue of her sheer “dodginess”, even standing alongside the likes of Yasmin Alibhai-Brown and Jolyon Maugham. They at least do more or less “what it says on the tin“.

The same phenomenon is seen in the UK. Report something to the police (I mean a real but “minor” crime, not a murder or a rude word said about a Jew) and nothing happens. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Black hole.

Look at the sentences given out for most things. Very lenient in most cases of “real” crime.

Something in the background is working to destroy normal society. Sinister.

Absolutely stupid. For one thing, many of the worst trolls use pseudonyms either exclusively or alongside their “real” social media accounts.

The poll does show how most of the “sheeple” want to be subjects of a (however fake) “caring/sharing” police state, at heart. I suppose that that came out during the “panicdemic”.

If the present Government were both willing and able to stop not only the cross-Channel migration-invasion but also general and continuing mass immigration, that would be a game-changer. However, since all System parties are supportive of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, that is very unlikely to happen.

Having said that, if the cross-Channel invasion on its own could be halted, so that there were no longer picture and clips of film showing invaders disembarking from boats, that might be enough to convince many voters to vote Con rather than Lab. Maybe.

If that were to happen, Poland must be suspended from NATO before a third major European (and perhaps world) war is triggered. Poland was the trigger for WW2. Most people do not want WW3. If the Polish leadership wants their country to become a devastated and, this time, also irradiated wasteland, that is their problem, but do not expect us, of Western and Central Europe, to back you up (and receive a horde of Russian nuclear missiles on our heads too).

She laughs at them, spends their donations like a drunken sailor, then pops up here and there pretending that she knows all about “poverty” and survival on little money. A complete fraud.

Thinking strategically, China and Russia together stack up fairly well against the USA. Both strategic nuclear powers, both with large armed forces, both with large populations (in China’s case, huge), both with geographically large state territories, both economically strong in different ways.

Were there to be a nuclear war involving all three (and leaving aside what might be left of this world if that were to happen), I would bet on a recovery in both China and Russia long before any such in the USA. As Hitler said (simplistically but truthfully all the same) the USA is “half-judaized and half-negrified“.

The aftermath of any large-scale devastation in the USA would be social collapse and social/racial war. That happened after Hurricane Katrina, a localized problem. How much more then after a nuclear attack?

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11864625/Putins-martyr-complex-control-unleash-nuclear-weapons-think-tank-warns.html

Vladimir Putin‘s ‘martyr complex’ is so out of control there is a risk he will embolden Russia to use nuclear and chemical weapons, a think tank has warned – amid rising concerns over the Kremlin’s ‘hysteric rhetoric’.

A new report published by the US think tank Heritage Foundation has highlighted a growing risk the Russian president will ‘make one of the most fateful decisions of the century’ in the face of his faltering invasion of Ukraine.

The study, named The US and Its Allies Must Understand and Respond to Russia’s Nuclear Threats, explores the actual likelihood that Putin will turn to using weapons of mass destruction.

Russian generals are understood to have discussed the use of tactical nuclear weapons in November, but is said to be cautious about the use of long-range weapons.

However, Russia has ‘increasingly portrayed the West as an enemy and appears to now accept tactical strategic nuclear weapons as an option for deterring further escalation of combat.

The country is understood to have between 1,000 and 2,000 nuclear weapons of varying sizes.

The use of such weapons is seen by Western nations as a last resort, but the report states Russia may turn to  tactical nuclear weapons ‘early in the exercise or at mid-point’.

The report outlines four situations in which Putin would turn to nuclear weapons; pre-empting an attack on Russia; use against Russia; a threat, such as a cyberattack on Russia’s command-and-control systems; and an existential threat to Russia from conventional or nuclear weapons.

It says: ‘Russia has failed to defeat the Ukrainian military and is now focusing on forcing the capitulation of the civilian population by attacking electricity and water supplies. 

‘It is therefore plausible that Russia will not only threaten to use, but actually use, a weapon of mass destruction to target civilian resistance in Ukraine. 

‘Russia is focusing on destroying Ukraine’s power infrastructure, and with the nuclear industry now producing around 60 percent of pre-war power, a Russian attack on nuclear power stations to cut off electricity and create an improvised nuclear incident is a real prospect.’

It has also warned that the use of chemical weapons against metro stations in eastern Ukraine would be ‘devastating’. 

The report cites the use of chemical weapons in Syria as evidence of Russia’s willingness.

It has also highlighted Russia’s efforts to ‘weaponise refugees’ and create mass flows of people into Western countries to the point they become ‘overwhelmed’.”

[Daily Mail]

The growing escalation by the NWO (NATO etc) is concerning; the flow of advanced weapons to the Kiev regime, together with ammunition, non-military aid, and cash.

If I had to guess, I should put the chance of the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine by the Russian side at about 30%, depending on how the war goes in the next few months. Any chance of Crimea being lost would make their use almost inevitable, but that raises the question of where such weapons might be used— on the battlefield, or against cities? Could Kiev be completely flattened? If so, what would be the NATO (US) response? All-out strategic response? Unlikely but not impossible. Limited but major conventional response? Maybe, but probably not. Nothing much? Possibly.

Russia would not hold back if subjected to serious or sustained Kiev-regime attack on its own unquestioned territory, eg in Central Russia.

As to a full strategic nuclear exchange between NATO and Russia in general, my view would be that that is at present no more than a 5% chance, but that is a very pessimistic assessment. Horses win at 20/1 all the time.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11862805/Bakhmut-Ukrainian-soldiers-admit-just-getting-killed-defend-city.html

‘I know I’m being sent to my death’: Ukrainian soldiers admit ‘we are just getting killed’ as they defend Bakhmut…and say Russia can already ‘taste victory’.

Ukrainian soldiers have painted a bleak picture of their on-going defence of Bakhmut, the small eastern city that has become the target of Europe’s bloodiest infantry battle since the Second World War.

Kyiv‘s soldiers have said they knew they were being sent to their deaths when they were given the orders to go to the city, and admitted they are ‘just getting killed’.

Would that, and the whole situation around that, have been seen or even conceivable in the 1980s, 1990s, even a decade ago? I think not. The West is not, mainly, being pressured by outside forces, but is falling apart internally. Maybe that is often the way of things, thinking of the Roman Empire, the gradual collapse of Sovietism etc.

Like a scene from Stalingrad in 1942/1943. War is hell.

It has been clear from the start, over a year ago, that the Americans have been feeding a large amount of direct battlefield intelligence from satellites etc to the forces of the Kiev regime. Had that not been so, the Russian forces would have had greater success in the field.

This comes close to the USA being a direct participant in the war. Madness.

The finance-capitalist system is inherently unstable, and linked in such a way that (as with an uncontrolled reaction in a nuclear power station) panic a fear creates an unstoppable or almost unstoppable momentum.

Imagine though, if a banking sector collapse internationally co-incided with a European war beyond the Ukraine borders. That could be the trigger for a social-national and pan-European upsurge across the continent, enabling the extermination of evil powers and person, and also the foundation of a new and better society in the long term.

More thoughts around Russia and Ukraine

The missing factor on the Russian side, domestically, is real determination on the part of the ordinary population. That would change if any one of two things were to happen: a direct conventional-arms attack (by Ukraine or its Western quasi-allies and backers) on any major Russian city, or a large incursion onto unambiguously Russian territory by forces of the Kiev regime (or foreign forces).

Either of those two events would probably trigger a large scale and probably (tactical-) nuclear response by the Russian leadership.

Russia values Kiev as one of the birthplaces of the Russian state [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kievan_Rus%27], and I think that the leadership will try to capture the city intact, if possible, but if the Russian leadership felt that the Russian state itself were in existential peril, their response might be to destroy Kiev rather than face extinction as a state, as a people (a collection of peoples, but Russified and Russophone), and as a distinct European/Eurasian culture.

David Icke

Ha ha! I can vaguely remember David Icke reading out the football results on — was it Southern TV? Wikipedia says BBC, so maybe BBC South— sometime around 1980 or so. Not that I would have been interested anyway.

I did not hear of David Icke again until 1990 or 1991 (looking at his Wikipedia entry, maybe the latter year), when I returned one time from the USA, and a friend mentioned as an example of something or other “David Icke“, and I replied “who?” (I had forgotten the name of the young man reading out the sports news a decade before). My friend laughed and said “you must be the only person in England who has not heard of David Icke!“. At that time, he was completely unknown in America.

A few years later, September 1994, I was invited as a birthday surprise by another friend to what turned out to be David Icke speaking at the Wigmore Hall in Marylebone, London, only a short taxi ride from where I then lived in Little Venice.

A quite good and very impassioned speaker, and dressed —if I recall aright— in his famous purple tracksuit, Icke was introduced by a remarkably attractive woman (about 35-40) who said that he was something like “the greatest thinker of our time“. I found that his speech did not quite live up to that billing, but was all the same interesting. My friend also bought me, as a birthday present, a signed copy of The Robot’s Rebellion from the stall in the foyer.

Icke used to follow my Twitter account (and I think that he was only following about 100-200 other people and organizations, so he must be rather perceptive!…). That ended when a pack of Jews had me expelled from Twitter in 2018. Icke himself was (as I had predicted would happen) expelled from Twitter later (by the same or similar Jews), but is now back: https://twitter.com/davidicke.

I would not endorse everything that Icke says or has said, but much of what he says is correct, and has been proven to be, e.g. the following:

Why do we play a part in suppressing alternative information to the official line of the Second World War? How is it right that while this fierce suppression goes on, free copies of the Spielberg film, Schindler’s List, are given to schools to indoctrinate children with the unchallenged version of events. And why do we, who say we oppose tyranny and demand freedom of speech, allow people to go to prison and be vilified, and magazines to be closed down on the spot, for suggesting another version of history.

— And the Truth Shall Set You Free (1995)[9]

[see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke].

Of course the “usual” (((usual))) influence has contaminated Wikipedia, so its “facts” in respect of anything such as Jews, the “holocaust” farrago, and the Second World War, Hitler etc, are often not true facts at all.

Icke’s son, Gareth Icke, is now following somewhat in his father’s footsteps: see https://twitter.com/garethicke.

Some recent tweets by David Icke:

The apparently intermittent dementia of the US President at such a time is more than concerning. Stupidity played a large part in the unwanted (by most people) start of the two really major wars of the 20thC; will actual dementia play a part in the start of the next such war?

Ironic. The same sort of people who are forever tweeting (or spouting on (((TV))) and in the (((Press))) about how Britain fought off German invasion in the early 1940s —and leaving the argument about that aside— are usually “refugees welcome” dimwits who want the UK to be a dustbin for the whole world. At present, they are certainly succeeding. I wonder whether they will like the eventual results (to them personally, as well) of their virtue-signalling “activism”?

More tweets

I have seen tweets from the usual self-describing “Left” suspects saying that even a critical interview like that should not be allowed on TV, because Patriotic Alternative (etc) are “fascists“. It just confirms the total irrelevance of Corbyn-style pseudo-socialists in the post-1989, post-socialist political space.

The British people, especially the poorer ones, are just ignored by the System, and nowhere is that more obvious than when it comes to mass immigration and migration-invasion.

…preferably with a good kicking as a not-golden farewell!

Join with Russia if the EU turns even more against Russia.

Join in amity with Russia, cut ties with the EU completely if necessary, leave NATO, chuck out US spy bases and air bases.

The EU is not, on the whole, a Europe worth saving anyway. With Russia on one side and the UK on the other, the EU states will have to come to heel eventually, and give us what we want and need.

Plymouth

In fact, Plymouth has a minority Conservative Party-ruled council. 25 Labour, 23 Conservative, 9 others.

The tree vandalism is appalling. I know Armada Way, which is a long and mainly traffic-free avenue connecting the central part of Plymouth to the famous Plymouth Hoe where Drake played bowls before defeating the Spanish Armada in the late 16thC.

The bit of Armada Way where I often was has thankfully been spared the axe, and is closer to the centre of the city. I often appeared at the County Court there (the building also contains the rather busy Plymouth Crown Court).

[the very 1950s (though actually built 1963) frontage of Plymouth County Court]

Plymouth could be a fantastic city, with its water frontage, and its rural hinterland, but somehow isn’t. It has problems of crime, drugs, drunkenness etc, and the local council is completely incompetent. I used to park at the very top of a multistorey car park quite near the court building. The Plymouth Council owned that car park. In about 6 years of parking there (about once every couple of weeks), the lift worked once, I think. Once out of 100-200 times. A small example but, I think, telling.

Plymouth Council is riddled with both freemasonry and Common Purpose, so often the nests of the mediocre. As with other councils with those characteristics, such as Birmingham, Plymouth Council is both incompetent and corrupt.

Incidentally, if anyone wonders why I always parked on the open top floor of that car park (about 10 storeys high) despite knowing that the lift would almost certainly be inoperative, well, there are a number of reasons. I like being able to park where there is always a spot, in a space almost always free of any other cars, not having to bother with other cars’ owners, people parking or leaving etc. In fact, about the only time I ever saw another car up there, it turned out to be that of a rather attractive lady barrister I knew slightly from court, Rebecca something-or-other. Secondly, I enjoyed the view. Thirdly, it is my long-held habit— I always park at the top of multi-storey car parks.

Disgraceful. Government, central and local, must step in, but it abdicated its responsibilities years ago. Buy to let and other similar forms of exploitation have to be stopped.

Escalation.

Sweden should have the sense to stay neutral. Such support comes close to abandoning neutrality.

As for Poland and its leadership, I can only think of Hegel, who wrote that “the lesson of history is that people do not learn the lessons of history” (may not be exact quotation, but near enough).

So the “Conservative” Party panel of Uxbridge and South Ruislip have reselected a part-Jew who was born in New York City, brought up in the USA and Belgium mainly (except when at Eton and Oxford), who did time (a few weeks) on a kibbutz in Israel, who describes himself as “Zionist“, and who has a long history of disgraceful and dishonest conduct in his personal life, as a journalist of sorts, as MP, as Cabinet minister, and finally as Prime Minister?

What am I missing? Not that he is some kind of great brain, as once was thought by easily-fooled people. As for real intellect and culture, forget it.

Still, at least it looks as if his time as MP is very limited, if the opinion polls can be believed:

Unfortunately, instead of being put up against a wall and shot, the bastard is going to make millions out of memoirs, speeches, after-dinner ramblings etc.

Interesting to see. One of the worst aspects (culturally) of the Ukraine conflict is the ghastly music (I do not know what it is called), a kind of (?) Slavonic “rap”, and played constantly by both sides. At least the “turbofolk” played during the Yugoslav/Balkan war(s) was not completely offensive to the ear.

Well, not quite as bad, anyway…

The Russian equivalent of turbofolk (I think it can be called…apologies to any musical experts reading), which I well remember from when I was in Kazakhstan (1996-1997):

The Guardian that became a cheerleader for the 2020-2021 police-state “Covid” measures: “lockdowns”, facemask nonsense, and Boris-idiot’s own contribution, the ridiculous “Rule of Six”.

Well-meaning silliness. Mikolaiv, or Nikolayev, will probably fall back under Russian control before very long; after that, I expect that Russian authorities will rebuild the city.

Incidentally, the Danish Ambassador and his government might be better advised to use their time, money, and power to prevent Denmark being further swamped by non-European savages.

I am willing to accept that the Ambassador’s own motives are probably reasonably good or charitable, but this is wrongheaded. Better to stop funnelling arms to the corrupt and vicious Jewish regime in Kiev, which merely prolongs a war Russia cannot lose.
