I have always believed that “Zeppelins”, lighter-than-air craft, have a future as well as a past. I blogged about that a few times, years ago:

https://twitter.com/i/status/1845785216889016479

That tweet from an Israeli account, decrying the deliberate burning to death of Palestinian civilians, including children and hospital patients, was retweeted by Sabrina Miller, Daily Mail scribbler and fairly hardcore Jew-Zionist.

Even people like that, pro-Israel to the hilt, are horrified by the (literal) “holocaust” in which the Israeli forces are now indulging, against a civilian population which has no means of protection or self-defence.

Israel is a doomed society. We must make sure that, as it goes down, it does not drag the world into a third massive war. It must be boycotted in every way, and that includes its Western “diaspora” web.

Sabrina Miller also retweeted the above tweet. I concede that I have a greater respect for her honesty now that she appears to see (and is willing to show publicly) the sheer inhumanity of at least some of the behaviour of the Israeli Jews.

Apocalyptic videos from central Gaza show the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike in which children, men, and women are burning alive; you can see it all for yourself – humans are in the inferno as tents are burning, and they’re unable to escape or be rescued. This cannot be ignored or allowed to go on indefinitely. A year later, this aimless war is going nowhere and is failing to bring safety or the hostages home. There are alternatives to continuing with this; stop the killing civilians in Gaza every single day!

[the above tweet was also retweeted by Sabrina Miller].

The televisual equivalent of the Judenpresse/Lugenpresse.

The present UK Government is a Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment, incapable of ruling properly or usefully, and also a mouthpiece for Israel and Jew-Zionism in general.

His face is contorted with terror. ‘Get away from me,’ he begs, as three policemen drag him, shaking, towards a military recruitment desk.

Moments earlier he had been dancing to the music of one of Ukraine‘s favourite rock bands, Okean Elzy.

But now his worst nightmares are being realised. He has been caught in a round-up by one of Kyiv‘s feared military ‘press gangs’ and is almost certainly on his way to the bloody frontlines.

From the look in his eyes, it is as if he has been handed a death sentence. The moment of his arrest was captured on video by horrified onlookers who have spread the chilling footage of his abduction around the world.

But this terrified concert-goer is just one of thousands of Ukrainian men who have been evading their duty by illegally dodging the draft.

More than two and a half years since the conflict began, with the army’s death toll rising by the day, Ukraine is intensifying its efforts to crack down on conscription evaders.

Locals claim these now-viral videos of men being snatched from nightclubs and concert halls in the country’s capital are just the tip of the iceberg.

All around the nation, gyms, restaurants and bars have been the sites of targeted military raids in recent days in a desperate bid to replenish Ukraine’s frontline forces.

But the sight of young men being dragged off the streets and sent to the Eastern front provokes mixed reactions.

And the online videos compound the anxieties of men who have so far evaded the press gangs. One 42-year-old insists he does not want to ‘die for the patriotic propaganda of any country’.

He fears he will be killed or maimed if conscripted.

‘The videos of press gangs kidnapping men are signs of injustice and lawlessness, especially when it is done by people wearing masks,’ he says.

‘As a taxpayer, I have done enough for my country. I don’t believe I should have to fight.’

[Sabrina Miller in the Daily Mail]

Sabrina Miller again, this time reporting on the press-gangs of the Zelensky regime in Kiev. Reasonably interesting, though her final words are a joke, as if she could not think of anything intelligent to say.

The fact is that the Kiev-regime front lines are crumbling. No amount of Western arms, ammunition, or money (going into the offshore accounts of the members of the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) will save the Kiev government regime, or Zelensky himself. It is doomed.

Part of the reason why the Kiev regime is doomed is because few now want to fight for it. The pathetic would-be-Rambo ex-private soldiers from the UK and USA etc have either been killed or captured, or have finished their agreed tours of duty and gone back home. No more Western mugs are volunteering. As for Ukrainians, they have either fled beyond the borders, or (as Sabrina Miller’s report says) are in hiding.

This whole “Ukraine” episode now needs to be brought to a close. Russian forces will begin a general advance in 2025, and may even take Kiev, leaving a rump Ukraine in the western part of the country, based on Lvov. I think that Russia will be satisfied with that.

Russia is many times the size of Ukraine, has several times the population; Russia, unlike Kiev-regime Ukraine, has a thriving economy, has a valuable currency, and is without dependence on foreign “aid” (or control).

Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

+Ben Gvir: Are you a representative of the terrorists? You came to work for them, you are a terrorist

-Tayibi: You are a terrorist

+Ben Gvir: You represent terrorist families, you are an example of terrorist families.

-Tayibi: You are the head of a faction of terrorist supporters, the law does not include Jewish terrorists?

×Cohen: There are no Jewish terrorists.”

That is their “Knesset” (Parliament). A kind of Oriental bazaar.

That brings to mind a rather odd story once heard.

I was told, long ago (1980s), and by a mutual friend, that Prince Michael Gruzinski, the one-time Pretender to the Throne of Georgia, had told King Hussein of Jordan, at a London diplomatic reception in the 1970s, that he had a plan to “gas the Knesset”. Apparently, King Hussein was not very amused and politely disengaged from the conversation.

Gruzinski was an odd fellow, whom many regarded as a fake, partly because of his name (Slavonic rather than Georgian— “gruzinsky” means “Georgian” in the Russian language), but I believe that there were valid 18th/19th Century historical reasons for that, and that he was genuinely the Pretender to that now non-existent throne, for whatever that might be worth.

I do not recall having met Gruzinski, though I was told that I had, once or twice, and that he remembered meeting me (maybe in 1976 or 1977). I know little of his life, except that he had been awarded (I was told) a First from Oxford, in the days when that meant something, and that he had cut off the tip of another student’s finger while fighting a duel with real swords (not the usual sport versions). Apparently he was “rusticated” (suspended) from the University for that, though that was just what I was told. I myself have no personal knowledge of any of it.

I suppose that Gruzinski must have been about 40 in the mid-1970s, and so would have been at Oxford in the 1950s or early 1960s.

According to my source, he then more or less refused to take ordinary salaried work, and “signed on the dole”. He was eventually summoned to a bureaucratic troika of what I suppose was then called the DHSS. In those days, social security could not just be cut off at the arbitrary whim of some DHSS/DWP dogsbody as happens today.

It seems that some woman on the panel said to Gruzinsky, “are you not ashamed that, with all your educational and other advantages, you are living off the State?“, to which he is said to have replied, “no, not at all. My family have been living off the State for hundreds of years“.

Anyway, whatever the truth of Gruzinsky’s claim to the Georgian throne, he was invited, I heard, to many diplomatic receptions, including some at the Soviet Embassy.

Gruzinsky apparently worked freelance in the field of finance. When he made his startling claim to King Hussein, he had some financial deal going with “the Saudis” (I was also told), and that deal would have been worth (if I remember correctly), some £10M for him personally. You could probably say that would be about £100M in the money of 2024. That was the money that would bankroll his mad (?) “gas the Knesset” plan, if it ever existed. I have no idea. It does sound doubtful, but then so do many things in this world, things that sometimes turn out to be true.

In the end, Gruzinsky died in a fire at the small hotel in South Kensington in which he lived. Not sure what year; maybe 1977 or 1978. It seems that he had returned to his room to retrieve papers connected with that financial deal, but was confronted by fierce flames. He then tried to escape out of a window, fell, and was impaled on railings.

I vaguely recall seeing a local TV news report about that fire. Maybe 1977. Not sure.

Whether the fire was accidental and so co-incidental, or whether MOSSAD (or whatever) had deliberately caused it in order to eliminate Gruzinsky (I doubt it— how could his demise be guaranteed? The “Princess Diana car crash plot” conundrum…), is anyone’s guess.

All a long time ago now. Nearly half a century.

A radical feminist opera which includes explicit lesbian sex scenes, real blood and injuries, and naked roller-skating nuns, has left 18 audience members needing medical treatment in Germany.

Sancta Susanna by composer Paul Hindemith caused a scandal back in 1921, with outraged critics labelling the one-act opera, which tells the story of a suppressed nun discovering her sexuality, too blasphemous to be shown.

Its premiere at the Stuttgart Opera was cancelled, but more than 100 years later, it has now been staged in the city for the first time – with the shock factor amped up to dizzying new heights in what its creators call a ‘radical vision of the Holy Mass’.

The ‘feminist mass’ sees the central character, a young nun called Susanna discover her sexuality, eventually pulling down Christ’s loincloth on the crucifix in the scandalous climax. At one point, the nude nun has sex with the icon.

The performance has an age restriction of 18, and incorporates sex acts, painful stunts, real and fake blood, piercings and the infliction of a wound on stage.”

[Daily Mail]

Incidentally, the poor literacy of the Daily Mail and similar comics is again apparent in that report, “suppressed” used when the scribbler obviously meant “repressed“.

The Nazis‘ relationship to Hindemith’s music was complicated. Some condemned his music as “degenerate” (largely based on his early, sexually charged operas such as Sancta Susanna).

“In December 1934, during a speech at the Berlin Sports Palace, Germany’s Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels publicly denounced Hindemith as an “atonal noisemaker”.[9]

The Nazis banned his music in October 1936, and he was subsequently included in the 1938 Entartete Musik (Degenerate Music) exhibition in Düsseldorf.[10]

Other officials working in Nazi Germany, though, thought that he might provide Germany with an example of a modern German composer, as, by this time, he was writing music based in tonality, with frequent references to folk music. The conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler‘s defence of Hindemith, published in 1934, takes this line.[11]

The controversy around his work continued throughout the thirties, with Hindemith falling in and out of favour with the Nazis.

Few people today realize quite how decadent the 1918-1933 Weimar Republic was. That was one reason why, from the spiritual-cultural point of view, National Socialism had to come to power, to rescue the future of Germany and the German people from the basest decadence.

Now, we see the same cultural sickness and death, in sometimes even worse manifestations, spreading across Europe, and across much of the world, particularly what is regarded as the civilized world.

Washington D.C. is largely “occupied”, in the more important areas of policy. This time, one of “them” just went too far in public.

I happened to be staying for a month or so at the oasis of Siwa (Western Egypt) in 1998 when it rained (actually just a very light drizzle) for the first time in about 2 years. The drizzle lasted for several hours, during which time the locals (mostly Berbers) were literally dancing in the sandy streets.

Not that they needed the water, as such; Siwa has about 350 springs (Wikipedia says 200) fed from an aquifer deep under the Sahara. They even export bottled Siwa water to the rest of Egypt.

By the year 2036, only twelve years away, the government’s own forecast suggests another 6.6 million people will arrive in the country, equivalent to about five cities the size of Birmingham, taking the population to 74 million people. By the late 2040s, on current numbers, the population will expand by around 20 million people, equivalent to 18 cities the size of Birmingham.”

Well, what we also learned this week is that more people are now dying than being born among the British population —which is the first time this has happened for half a century.

In fact, the native population declined by 16,300 people in the year ending June 2023, reflecting the ongoing fertility crisis that will now become a constant in our national life unless, again, we rapidly change course.

The ‘replacement rate’ for a country whereby it is reproducing itself over time is 2.1 but in Britain this rate has slumped from 3.0 in the 1960s, to 1.5 in 2022, is forecast to crash to 1.38 by the year 2050 and then 1.3 by 2100, making it impossible to keep the population stable.

In other words, what demographers call “natural negative change” among the native population, alongside the other key changes below, will now only accelerate in the years ahead.”

Announcement

Yesterday saw my blog post no. 2,000 published. Today’s blog post is therefore no. 2001.

The past nearly 8 years have seen the blog published most days, latterly about 28 or 29 days per month, despite concerted attempts by Jew-Zionists to shut down the blog either directly (by pressure on the hosting organization) or indirectly (via making repeated malicious and false complaints to the police and “Clown” Prosecution Service, with the idea of having me prosecuted, convicted etc and possibly ordered to cease publishing).

All attempts so far have failed. The excellent (and recommended) WordPress organization, based in the USA, has stayed true, overall, to principles of free speech and freedom of expression and, though I was eventually (in my opinion, wrongfully) prosecuted (in 2023) and (in my opinion, wrongfully) convicted, the sentence passed (in March 2024) changed nothing. The blog has been unaffected by direct court order; only by the perceived need to be more diplomatic in terms of how certain criticisms etc are couched. The legal position remains unchanged from what it was in 2023 or 2022 or, indeed, 2017.

I post, below, the blog articles around my 2023 free speech trial.

I take comfort, inter alia, in the fact that a number of my worst persecutors over the years have disappeared from view; some have died, while others have suffered other blows of Fate. Truly, “the stars in their courses fight on the side of the just” [ancient Chinese proverb].

Not even 1980.

Her parents may have arrived “off the boat” (or plane) in 1980, but after having been born here (no doubt by design on the part of her parents), Kemi Badenoch returned to her (in reality) native Nigeria, where she lived in Lagos (and also in the USA) until the age of 16, i.e. in 1996. She then relocated to the UK.

This is ridiculous. The British people deserve better.

Of course she does, because she is a brainless mouthpiece of Israel and the American Jewish lobby.

When the October 2023 attack occurred, two things surprised me: I was very surprised, frankly (having spent time in Egypt and elsewhere in the Arab/Muslim world) that the Arabs were capable of both organizing and pulling off such a surprise attack, and also of keeping it a secret (assuming that they did) from the feared Israeli intelligence and security orgs.

There was something else that occurred to me, which was that the attack seemed to be, in a strategic sense, pointless, though it was at the time a tactical success (leaving aside the human cost and so on).

Of course, I assumed also —as it turned out, very mistakenly— that even if the inevitable Israeli response was far from actually “proportionate”, that it would be relatively so. I assumed that the Israelis would be satisfied with killing maybe 2,000 or 3,000 Gazans in retaliation for the supposed 1,200 killed by Hamas operatives in October 2023 (though it seems that many of those may have been killed in reckless “friendly fire” by the Israelis themselves).

I did not think that Israel would kill 42,000+ people, mainly civilians (indeed, mainly women and children), and horribly injure another 100,000+. The “genocidal” Israeli revenge still continues at time of writing.

I have no idea why the Hamas leadership did not bide its time, extend and expand its tunnel network, create perhaps one or more deep long-distance tunnels reaching far up the Israeli coast or even to Central Israel, then make a more devastating incursion at a much later date, perhaps not for years. That will be a question to be pondered upon by military specialists at staff colleges in the coming years.

We shall probably never know.

Hard to believe that there are people who treat their companion animals so badly; if found, they must be punished (and in the USA usually are, in contrast with the weak sentencing too often seen in UK animal cruelty cases).

Brave but incautious. She might have done better to find a way of striking at the Kiev regime covertly.

There you have it, though— the Kiev-regime, and Zelensky-regime, police state. No elections, no trade unions, no free speech.

That is the “free and democratic Ukraine” being pushed and promoted by NWO/ZOG puppets such as Biden and Starmer.

The toddler’s frail, malnourished body scarcely twitched as she lay helplessly in an incubator chamber in the already-decimated Gaza hospital. 

Leila Jeneid, one of countless children who have passed through the doors of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the north of the Gaza Strip, has suffered as a result of starvation and dehydration. 

In a video clip, Leila can be seen quickly breathing in and out, desperate for a breath of fresh air in one of the 12 remaining hospitals in the besieged enclave. 

The outline of her ribs, along with all her other bones, are visible through her pallid, paper-thin skin, which sits in stark contrast to the blue blanket underneath her that provides little comfort to the toddler, who is not old enough to comprehend the hellish suffering she is undergoing. 

Her jaw is slack as she lies on her back inside the plastic cage of the incubator, barely able to move her arms and legs. 

She can’t keep her eyes open as medics at the hospital, which UN official Andrea De Domenico this week said was receiving ‘about 15 malnourished children a day and is struggling to maintain services,’ run tests to understand how to help her. 

But it’s food, water and proper rest she needs, all things that the whole enclave is desperately in need of, and all things that Israel has been accused of deliberately withholding from civilians in its bitter war against Hamas, which – according to a top UN human rights official – could amount to a war crime.”

A father-of-five who was jailed and handed a £475,000 court bill after a dispute with his neighbours has been ordered to sell his home to pay for the huge sum. 

Mark Coates, 56, and wife Louise, 52, have been involved in a ‘bitter, aggressive and violent’ dispute with their neighbours Brian Greenwood, 69, and Janice Turner, 65, after moving in next door in the countryside near Hastings in 2015.

The row arose out of a disagreement over a fence between their homes on a quiet road in Robertsbridge, a court heard. The Coates family wanted to replace the structure with a brick wall but Mrs Taylor argued this would encroach on her land.”

[Daily Mail]

When I was at the Bar, I advised and appeared on several such cases in the County Court, both in London and the provinces. Almost all, in fact all, should have settled long before they got to court, long before any barristers were instructed.

I think that I can say that I, and other counsel in the cases known to me, did our best to achieve reasonable closure, but these are cases (often involving trivial amounts of land) where reason always seems to fly out out of the window.

In many cases, all Counsel, solicitors, and the judge in the matter, understand that the matters in question should settle before enormous costs are racked up but, often, the litigants are effectively willing to risk bringing down ruin on themselves for a chance of gaining a victory over their neighbours (with whom they will have to live —nearby— afterwards, after the case ends, whichever way it goes), unless one party sells up and moves (in which event…well, you get my point).

If you told someone to remortgage his house, take out equity of £50,000, £100,000 or more, then go to Las Vegas, and stake the entire amount, maybe in one spin, on red or black at the roulette table, the houseowner would call you crazy, but that is, often, exactly what he or she —often a couple— are willing to do in taking to the County Court (in some cases to the High Court) such cases.

I remember one case I had that was about a wedge-shaped piece of land running the length of a North London suburban garden; at one end it was only about an inch or so wide and, at the other, about a foot.

What can one say? Territorial feeling can be very powerful.

Private enterprise —properly regulated for honesty, health and safety, employee rights etc— should run most commerce and industry, but there are exceptions, among which are the main structures of the economy providing services to the whole people: water supply, large-scale energy, electricity generation and supply, roads, railways.

Very true. As for me [b.1956], my memories of even the late 1950s are few, but those of the 1960s, and up to the present year, are many. Speaking very broadly, I should say that the dividing line between the UK of 2024 and an earlier and different UK lies, arguably, somewhen between the Thatcher election victory of 1979 and the fall of socialism in or about 1989. Maybe 1979 as far as the UK is concerned, domestically. Too much to cover here in a few paragraphs, though.

So much for the “military experts”, many of which (as in the case of the reporter David Axe) turn out to be not very expert at all: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Axe.

People of that sort write their rubbish for (in his case) Forbes magazine, the Daily Telegraph etc, and people believe it implicitly because it is in (albeit wrongfully) “trusted” publications, yet much of the content is unreliable. Read Axe’s Wikipedia entry. Not an ex-officer, not a military historian as such, but a writer of fiction primarily, at least until recently. His reporting on military matters has been patchy; refer to the Wikipedia entry.

There are many scribblers of that sort. He is far from being the only defaulter.

Of course, in relation to the Ukraine war, a significant factor in reportage is that most Western msm outlets are openly biased to an extent not seen since the 1940s. Anything seen in the msm relating to Ukraine, Russia, Putin etc has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

What does that say about her judgment (and that of “Boris”)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Johnson#Public_and_personal_life; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Cole_(journalist).

Emily Thornberry is a freeloading pro-Israel hog, riding high on her portfolio of rented-out houses and the monies she has taken from public funds. A parasite.

[Emily Thornberry at a Zionist dinner in London, with the former Israeli ambassador, Mark Regev (at centre)]

Emily Thornberry only became a supposed “socialist” because her affluent father abandoned her and her mother, they thereafter living in relative poverty, in a council house in Guildford, Surrey.

All Starmer’s Shadow Cabinet are complete tools of the Israel lobby. Agents of influence, really.

Not that I have any time at all for “cosplay” “socialist” Owen Jones: see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/04/a-brief-word-about-owen-jones/.

When I still had a Twitter account (until mid-2018), Owen Jones tweeted to Israel-lobby creature John Woodcock (the depressive sex pest MP later “ennobled” by “Boris” Johnson as “Lord Walney”) that Woodcock should block me on Twitter. He did.

My blog and my crowdfunder

As most readers will be aware, I was recently sentenced for breach of the notorious police-state Communications Act 2003, s.127. My sentence was to complete, between now and the end of the year, 15 (notional) days or part-days similar to the old-style “probation”; mostly quite short meetings with the Probation Service.

I also have to pay a notional sum re. costs of my trial in the magistrates’ court, assessed at £734. My crowdfunder, first published several days ago, has reached £195, leaving another £539 to be raised to meet that main target, or another £805 to meet my full target.

If you can afford to donate (minimum amount is only £4), then your donation will be accepted with gratitude; if not, then I should be grateful to anyone copy/pasting, anywhere, the link to the appeal: https://www.givesendgo.com/GC14J

Thank you.

As to the blog itself, it will continue to be published daily, or near-daily.

The malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”) cabal and Crown (“Clown”?) Prosecution Service (which the “CAA” —typically—badgered for 7+ years to prosecute me) completely failed to persuade the sentencing judge to curtail publication of, or censor the content of, the blog.

I myself, however, have decided to make the blog gradually more focussed on analysis, and less on comment, as well as making it more diplomatic, but without compromise on ideology or principle.

The “CAA” is evidently embarrassed by the ultimate result. Their endless whining and demanding may have led to me being charged and —after a year— convicted , and to my having to waste much time defending myself, but the ultimate result, apart from the £734 in financial imposts (which may be largely covered by donations), is that I have to meet once every 1-3 weeks with the Probation Service for the rest of this year; 15 meetings in all; I have already attended one (short and not at all unpleasant).

The “CAA” crowed mightily on Twitter/X when I was convicted (November 2023), but since the sentencing hearing (14 March 2024), they have not tweeted once about me. Ha.

Apocalyptic. Contrast the complacent American reaction to this with the scalded American reaction to the destruction, by Islamist militants, of two large buildings in New York City in 2001.

According to the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] pressure group in the UK, something like 96% of Jews in the UK identify with Israel and Zionism. That may or may not be exactly accurate, but gives a general picture, anyway.

Even New York is slowly turning anti-Zionist.

Donald Trump surged closer to a rematch with Joe Biden in November as he trounced Nikki Haley, his final rival for the Republican nomination, on Super Tuesday.

The former president, 77, dominated the biggest day of the primaries, winning eleven states by 9.30pm, and leaving the ex-South Carolina governor’s White House dreams hanging by a thread.”

Trump is very flawed, but at least he is not suffering from increasingly-obvious dementia. He will take away Zelensky’s ricebowl, and that will end the war in Ukraine within weeks, as the already-crumbling frontlines of the Kiev regime break, allowing Russian to fulfil its “manifest destiny” and take over all Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and also the Black Sea littoral as far west as Transdniestria.

Birmingham City Council has signed off on a wave of ‘devastating’ cuts to services and a 21% rise in council tax. 

The Labour-run local authority has declared itself effectively bankrupt and says it needs to make £300million in savings, after after identifying equal pay liabilities estimated at £760million. 

Councillors were seen leaving Tuesday’s crunch vote in tears after more than 50 of them voted in favour of the financial measures needed to secure a £1.255billion bail-out loan from the Government.

Yes…but a good part of the overall problem is caused, or made far worse, by the migration invasion, meaning the importation into the UK, every single year now, of a million backward persons, almost all non-European, i.e. non-white, and most of whom are little more than parasites, a substantial minority actively criminal and/or terroristic.

Unfortunately, the trade unions are no longer very useful to the workers of the UK. They have been captured by “woke” fanatics, pro-immigration lunatics, and/or the Zionist lobby. The Labour Party is similar.

Sam Melia and Laura Towler

As most readers will probably know, Sam Melia was sentenced last Friday to 2 years imprisonment (which may in practice mean 6-12 months —more likely 12 than 6) for distributing stickers which themselves contained nothing illegal, as the trial and sentencing judge recognized.

The judge is said also to have recognized, in his summation, that Sam Melia is a good fellow (or some such), a good family man, a good citizen and community member etc. Despite that, Melia has been imprisoned, for what amount to purely political reasons.

Melia’s wife, the brave Laura Towler, has been left to struggle with her home and small business, with one small child, as well as being about to give birth to a second child.

The crowdfunder set up to help Melia and Laura Towler has now reached, as at time of writing, £55,641.

This is the link to that crowdfunder: https://www.givesendgo.com/sammelia. Donate as little as £4, and so not only help that family but also stick it to the System, to “the lobby”, and to all enemies of this country’s future.

I am personally unacquainted with that couple; neither do I belong to Patriotic Alternative.

The couple and their children are exactly the kind of people who could, if existing in sufficiently-great numbers, form the basis for a new civilization once the present one collapses, which will probably happen within the next decade.

Habib is half-English, half-Pakistani.

He talks about only the past 5 years. Look at, also, the past 50 years.

Undeniable, but it would be a mistake to imagine that Labour, under Jewish-lobby puppets Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc will be much different, or any better. Still, stamp on the Conservative Party anyway— extinguish it.

Ha ha.

I must have missed all that.

I have my own (non-“conspiracy”) theory, which is that anything the human mind can imagine, even if only as a vague concept, can and will eventually become reality.

The idea of human flight by artificial means was first thought of in ancient times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icarus. In mediaeval and then Renaissance times, a few of the more-educated people conceived the idea of flight using either harnessed birds (Bishop Godwin) or mechanical contrivances (Leonardo da Vinci): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_in_the_Moone

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_da_Vinci#Engineering_and_inventions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo%27s_aerial_screw

[Leonardo— “aerial screw”]

Neither Godwin’s nor Leonardo’s ideas were immediately practicable, but the important thing was that those people, and Leonardo in particular, had the idea that flight was possible, in Leonardo’s case by mechanical means. That was key.

Later, of course, in the 18th and 19th centuries, there were hot-air and lighter-than-air balloons, then Zeppelins (late-19th/early 20th centuries), and then the several people in the early 20thC who developed heavier-than-air machines; the Wright brothers are of course most famous.

[World War One: German Zeppelin over the palace of Westminster, probably 1916]

The fast jets, passenger airliners, spacecraft etc which we now know came, originally, from that one spark in a human mind.

The same is true in all spheres of activity. The human mind need only be able to think that something can exist for it to exist, though the working out may take, sometimes, hundreds or even thousands of years.

Typical of the “Conservative” drone-MPs of the past 15-20 years.

Jesus, she is so thick“, the lady says…well, the only thing that can now save the Conservative Party is that many of the voters are also very stupid…

Harsh? Look at how many voters at the recent by-elections still voted Con. Yes, a minority, but thousands each time…a third of the voters who voted at Kingswood, and a quarter at Wellingborough. At Rochdale only 12%, but of course English voters who voted were a small minority there.

I have no problem with the examples shown; some may, but not me.

Ireland is pretty sad these days. Sinn Fein/IRA too. They seem to have surrendered completely to NWO/ZOG. Their “Irish Republican resistance” stance has become a kind of joke “cosplay” that evokes little but derision, and rightly so.

In that event, Britain will be something akin to a dictatorship. In that event, anything will be justifiable by way of resistance to what may amount to a disguised tyranny.

In that event, will Zelensky and his wife go to his USD $40M villa in Florida, to another of his luxury houses (in Italy and elsewhere), or will he drop all pretence and go “home” to Israel?

Ha ha…

There are many basically negative influences in our world, but there is one particular “influence” that is just poisoning the Western world.

The Jews I Met At An Oasis

A random tweet seen just reminded me of when I met a group of Jews in a desert oasis. It happened like this: I was in Egypt for several months in the winter of 1997-98. I started off in charming Aswan, spent a week or two under canvas in a then-remote part of the Red Sea coast, and then a month or so in Alexandria (an experience recounted, in part, here: https://ianrmillard.wordpress.com/2019/03/07/when-i-was-not-arrested-in-egypt/).

I left Alexandria to visit the remote oasis of Siwa, in the Western Desert not very far from Libya, southwest of the Qattara Depression and only a mile or two from the first great dunes of the Great Sea of Sand:

SiwaPanoramaA VIEW OF THE OLD AND NEW CITY OF SIWA IN EGYPT'S WESTERN DESERT.

I lived for a month, maybe longer, in a kind of small concrete chalet in the garden of the very small hotel I used. The hotel garden was sand but planted with closely-situated date palms. I discovered that dry date palm fronds, fallen from the trees, burn easily. Thus I inadvertently started a “tradition” of having a fire around which people gathered and talked in the cool of the evening.

Most visitors to the oasis would arrive on the one bus (a luxury Mercedes coach) in early evening, stay only one or two nights, then return to Alexandria (an 8-hour journey via Marsa Matruh on the coast). By the time I left, I had spent at least a month there and was the longest-resident foreigner save for a Finnish person who did Tai Chi on the flat roof of the hotel (well, maybe you have to be a little unusual to stay long at Siwa!) and an Anglican nun who wanted to set up a Christian centre there (not a very good idea even if the authorities approved it, which was almost inconceivable). Turned out that she knew a man who had tried (unsuccessfully) to teach me Physics when I was at school in the early 1970s. Small world.

I met a number of mostly young people there. I myself was an arguably youthful 41. Apart from the Finn and the English nun, I recall quite a few others who stayed at the oasis for longer than average. Some were more eccentric than others.

There was an odd young man from somewhere near Lancaster. When in the UK, he lived in a caravan on a red squirrel conservancy and had inherited a small legacy (£12,000, I think) from his grandmother. He had lived for eight years on that, in India. He said that India was both cheaper and dirtier than Egypt. I found both statements hard to believe.

Another oddity, also English, was someone about 28, whom I at first took to be some sort of evangelical Christian, but who in fact was a militant atheist. Very militant. He had bicycled across vast expanses (including the Kazakh steppe), using a specially-built bicycle which had water storage inside its frame. He had cycled from Alexandria and was planning to cycle from Siwa to the next oasis, Bahariya, a journey of some 250 miles to the East, on a desert road used only by occasional Egyptian Army patrols, perhaps once weekly. Not a good place to get a flat or run out of water. I wonder whether he made it.

One young lady, a very attractive French girl from Rennes, the capital of Brittany, was rather interested in me, but had a boyfriend with her, a pleasant young fellow from Montpellier, so our animated conversations did not lead anywhere, or any further…

We temporary “local expats” would eat such as molokhiya, a rather slimy but oddly tasty soup made mainly from green vegetables (jute leaves); more often we might have falafel, and maybe drink helba, a kind of yellow-green herbal tea made from fenugreek (Siwa was dry in both senses).

So what about those Jews? They were tourists from Israel, travelling in a group. Students. There seemed to be about 8 of them. None of them seemed to be overtly attached. The girls were quiet, pleasant, modest; the boys slightly less quiet. Only one was extremely unpleasant, a transplanted New York Jew aged about 25, with beard and carrying at all times a thick and obviously unread paperback about “the holocaust”. I cannot recall the exact title, something about the SS and “holocaust” anyway. This particular Jew was studying at some university at Jerusalem and within minutes had marked me as a probable enemy! My copy of Alan Clark’s Barbarossa probably triggered his interest.

The others in that Israeli group, in discussion with other tourists (including my French “girlfriend” who never became a girlfriend), seemed to be reasonable in that they were not looking for war with the Arab world, but of course the unspoken elephant in the room was the historical basis: the migration of millions of Jews to British Mandate Palestine and later Israel, which displaced the previous occupants.

Still, in that milieu, by the “camp-fire”, one could briefly believe in an Arab-Israeli concordat. Only the occasional presence of the American Jew Zionist fanatic disturbed that pacific fantasy. He personified the Zionist fanatics who never quite get around to moving permanently from New York, Los Angeles or London to “Eretz Israel”, yet they are the ones who, as much or more than the “native” Israelis, push the hardline Zionist agenda. Look at the recent film featuring the former heads of MOSSAD, Shin Beth etc. They seem, in principle, less warlike than both the American (etc) “diasporic” Jew fanatics and Israel’s own political leaders.
