…as with “Boris” Johnson…

At first, when the news broke about “Boris” Johnson, the then Prime Minister, being in intensive care from “Covid”, I was probably 60% “it’s real news” and 40% “it’s fake news”. Now? About 70% in favour of it having been “fake news”, and it having been part of the whole “scamdemic” propaganda effort.

If Wagner Group are “terrorists”, then how much more are the American forces, after all the millions they have killed worldwide since 1941?

[devastated Berlin, 1945]

Perhaps. In days of yore, Stalin would have shot the heads of the Russian Army and GRU soon after the pathetic failed takeover of the Ukraine in 2022.

Just an Indian money-juggler.

Interesting to see the generally downward trend over 30+ years. Will Sunak go as low as Liz Truss? We shall see.

Don’t tell me that Woollyhead Trussbanger is trying a comeback?!

The same or similar is true of the UK.

I do not know, but maybe, with much of the Zelensky-regime army now either dead or occupied in the southeast of Ukraine, there is a plan to attack from Belarus, but Kiev must now be well-defended in depth. Any approach to the suburbs of Kiev would meet with stiff resistance, then would require a reduction of the urban and suburban battlefield space by artillery, aircraft, and missiles before a mass infantry incursion, and would be horrendously bloody, bearing in mind the number of civilians in Kiev.

A battle for Kiev would be on the level of [the WW2 battle for] Stalingrad, or the recent Bakhmut carnage, in ferocity, and on a much larger scale even than Stalingrad.

Kiev is the 7th-most populous city in Europe, or 6th if Istanbul is excluded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_cities_by_population_within_city_limits. Istanbul, Moscow, London, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Madrid, Kiev. Of those 7 cities, 3 are of course in the former Soviet Union.

Having said the above, the Wagner Group forces seem to have been sidelined, with many sworn into the ordinary Russian Army. If PMC Wagner is “decapitated”, leaderless, and not in Belarus, how could it attack from there?

It looks more like a bloodless dispersal of Wagner Group assets.

The truth may be out there, but I think that we do not know it yet.

In any case, why would it have been “justified” in the early 1930s? The KPD (German Communist Party) of the time was under Stalin’s control (via the Comintern) and, in the Soviet Union, mass slaughter was already happening in various ways. The NSDAP was a necessary Abwehr (“parrying”) to that Stalinist expansionism. Once in power, the NSDAP lifted Germany and its people out of degradation, and made Germany the most prosperous nation in Europe.

People, some people, should learn some real history…

As for any attempted historical analysis by the likes of Gary Lineker, the hugely-overpaid football talking-head, life is too short to waste time on it (or him).

Good grief. I knew that it was expensive but thought maybe £100-£200.

I suppose that age demographics come into it. I do not know what is the age typical of a Glastonbury audience, but not that young, I am guessing. Like owning a top-range motorbike, or a Morgan car, it is (?) the prerogative of the middle-aged and even elderly, these days.

Not that I have been there. At least, I have been to the town of Glastonbury a number of times (and have even stayed overnight a couple of times), but of course not to the music festival.

I remember when the Reading Festival was first held there, which I think was either 1970 or 1971. 1971, I think. If so, I was not quite 15. I remember driving with my mother, the day before it started, down the lane through the riverside meadows where it takes place, mainly to see the “hippies” who were already arriving. A human safari park, if you like. Our family lived on the other side of the river, in the suburb of Caversham Heights.

In those days, “pop festivals” were for the young (16-25, maybe 16-30). Of course, the general population has aged, and I see now that tickets for the Reading Festival cost hundreds of pounds.

An outright fraud. Anyone who supports her or sends her money is just a total mug.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week brings another victory over political journal John Rentoul. I scored 7/10 as against his 4/10. I did not know the answers to question 5 (actually, I “hit the post” with the name), or questions 6 and 9, and I pretty much guessed numbers 3 and 7, if truth be known.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12227635/Border-Force-intercepts-3-000-migrants-month.html

The Home Office is planning to house hundreds of migrants in marquees across the country.

The government’s plans come as today it was revealed that the number of Channel crossings by people in small boats so far this month is now higher than the number for June last year.

According to official figures, 312 asylum seekers were intercepted in eight boats by UK officials yesterday.

[“Intercepted“? You mean “ferried to the UK”].

This brings the official number of migrant crossings this month to 3,303 in 68 boats – an average of 49 people crammed into each inflatable dinghy or other small craft.

More people thought to be migrants arrived in Dover earlier today as people smugglers took advantage of the weather of low winds and no rainfall.

Border Force vessel Ranger was spotted this afternoon patrolling the 21-mile Dover Straits after dropping a group of migrants at the port.

[Daily Mail]

Get that— the “Border Farce” vessel (taxi service for migrant invaders) dropped off a group of invaders at Dover, then went out looking for more “customers”…

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/21/iceland-suspends-annual-whale-hunt-in-move-that-likely-spells-end-to-controversial-practice

Iceland suspends annual whale hunt in move that likely spells end to controversial practice.

Decision comes after a government report found the hunt does not comply with Iceland’s Animal Welfare Act.

Iceland’s government has said it is suspending this year’s whale hunt until the end of August due to animal welfare concerns, a move that is likely to bring the controversial practice to an end.

Animal rights groups and environmentalists hailed the decision, with the Humane Society International calling it “a major milestone in compassionate whale conservation”.

Shocking video clips broadcast by the veterinary authority showed a whale’s agony as it was hunted for five hours.

The country has only one remaining whaling company, Hvalur, and its licence to hunt fin whales expires in 2023. Another company stopped for good in 2020, saying it was no longer profitable.

Iceland’s whaling season runs from mid-June to mid-September, and it is doubtful Hvalur would head out to sea that late in the season.

Annual quotas authorise the killing of 209 fin whales – the second-longest marine mammal after the blue whale – and 217 minke whales, one of the smallest species. But catches have fallen drastically in recent years due to a dwindling market for whale meat.

At last. Good news.

…but why call her (“Jack Monroe”, alias Melissa Hadjicostas) “they“? It’s not “their silence” but “her silence”. Proper English.

Jack Monroe is an out and out fraud.

Is that so? Truth or speculation? I do not know at present.

Thinking ahead, what happens if the present Russian Government is toppled? What replaces it? Would that be one willing to (in effect) surrender to the NWO/ZOG cabals, or one willing to really take the fight to Zelensky in Kiev?

Nothing firm is known as yet.

Truth is, of course, the first casualty. Speculation abounds, and of course the “usual suspects” are stirring everything, as are other pro-Zelensky tweeters.

I imagine that even the Russian overseas diplomatic missions do not know what is going on, not even the SVR and GRU.

Again, who he? I have no idea. Is he a Wagner operator, or merely someone pretending to be one? If it is true (as claimed by many on Twitter) that official checkpoints are merely waving Wagner units through without check or opposition, then that mirrors what happened in previous Russian upheavals, from the Yeltsin and Gorbachev eras right back to the two Russian revolutions of 1917.

What now? Is there time (and the requisite high-level military support) for Putin to order a massive and unrestrained strategic missile attack (a last-ditch and bitter action to achieve battlefield victory) on Kiev, regardless of the Wagner Group situation? We have to just sit and wait to see.

Well, if Prigozhin actually topples Putin, then he follows in the tradition of Russian revolutionary leaders (and others) having (in the Russian word) “sat” in prison. Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky etc. They were there mainly for political crimes, though, whereas Prigozhin was imprisoned for crimes of acquisition: fraud, theft, robbery, burglary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeny_Prigozhin#Early_life. He did 9 years altogether.

Also, the conditions of confinement for the Bolshevik leaders were comfortable, once they arrived in Siberian exile. Houses in remote villages, not much restraint on their liberty, and Lenin was even allowed a hunting rifle with ammunition, as was, I think, Stalin!

Prigozhin’s 9 years of Soviet-era prison must have been far less easy. He’s a tough ex-con, among other things.

At any rate, it looks at present as if PMC Wagner is the Praetorian Guard of Russia now. Tomorrow? Maybe, maybe not— “tomorrow is another day“…

I just noticed that one of my first few blog posts, from late 2016, got a couple of hits today. I still think that the topic, the “tipping-point”, is one well-worth examination: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2016/12/27/tipping-points-in-politics-and-life/.

Are they wrong about Rachel Reeves? I think not. I have examined and assessed her briefly a few times on the blog: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2021/05/10/diary-blog-10-may-2021-with-thoughts-about-rachel-reeves-and-the-floundering-labour-party/; https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/05/23/diary-blog-23-may-2023/.

If the opinion polls are correct, Labour may form the next government, but when people vote “Labour”, they are actually getting pro-Israel careerists and money-grubbers such as Rachel Reeves, who is little different, though possibly better-educated, than the likes of Iain Duncan Dunce Smith.

Labour is now just a label; some of its own MPs have said as much.

Alarming.

Slightly reminiscent of the staged “popular uprising” against Ceausescu in 1989. Not that it was not popular in the sense of many, probably most, Romanians liking it, but it was not popular in the sense that the “plebs” took an active part. It was a stage-managed thing, and many of those on the streets were aware of that. They knew that they were just “spear-carriers” in a show put on for the overseas and domestic TV audience.

It really is incredible how many people (at least on Twitter) think that saying “effing Tories” and making the right noises about the cost of living under them (with the assumption that fake “Labour” would be much much better, of course) constitutes something massive. As for those “recipes”, have you seen them? I should prefer bread and cheese, or just bread…

“Jack Monroe” is not the only one making a fairly good living out of Twitter “activism” of that sort. There are a number of others, e.g. “@supertanskiii”. Completely useless pseudo-activists who are basically “grifters” (at best).

That useless NIgerian parasite, “@FemiSorry”, is another one.

True or bluff? I have no information (reliable information) at all.

The lack of real ideology (going beyond vague nationalism and fawning over replicas of pre-1917 Russianism such as the Orthodox Church) in Putin’s Russia worked only so long as there was relative peace and prosperity. Now, the peace and much of the prosperity has gone or is going, and hope with it, and that leaves a vacuum. Russians need more than bread alone.

Looks as though a deal has been struck somewhere behind the scenes.

Saturday quiz

Not so good this week, and in fact one of my worst-ever scores, 4/10, the same as political journalist John Rentoul. The only answers I knew were those to questions 5, 7, 8, and 10, and I was even uncertain about one or two of them..

Ukraine now is a failed state. In fact it is not really a state at all. It has scarcely any industry still functioning, its agriculture continues but soon will be unable to export, its population is declining via low birth rates, and about 20% of that population has fled to other countries. It cannot replace its Army personnel who are being killed in large numbers, and has had to resort to press-gangs pulling young men off the streets.

Now we see that even more money from the American taxpayer will be sent in order that Ukraine will be able to offer its citizens basic goods and services— water, food, medical help.

Without foreign arms, ammunition, and money (much of which money is stolen by the members of the Zelensky “government”), “Ukraine” as a quasi-state would almost immediately cease to exist. The war would end shortly thereafter.

“Jack Monroe” has obviously decided that she cannot simply refund cheated and actively-aggrieved donors in case the trickle of refund demands becomes a flood. She has therefore resorted once again to outright lies, now apparently even claiming to her hardcore mug followers that she has “successfully sued Lee Anderson” (or so many of said mugs believe). In reality, of course, she never sued the MP Lee Anderson (after a year, the time limitation barred action), and simply raised funds in order, ostensibly, to sue him, but then diverted those funds to her own use.

Why is “Jack Monroe” not being actively investigated by Essex Police? I know that that police force has been very busy seizing “racist” teddy bears from English people, but it might consider investigating some real crime as well.

To hell with what “Jack Monroe” may or may not need. She should be being investigated on multiple allegations of fraud.

A very important (for once) Twitter thread.

The “panicdemic” started not because truly qualified scientists urged “lockdowns”, as well as the facemask nonsense and ludicrous other “measures” such as Boris-idiot’s “rule of six”, but because people not in any way qualified were promoting a panic agenda. One of the worst, of course, was the idiotic Professor Ferguson, member (why?) of “SAGE” (aka, for me, “DUMB”, the “Department Under Matt and Boris”); Ferguson trained in physics and statistics, not medicine.

Huge numbers of other specifically-unqualified persons added to the clamour for “stricter measures” etc— doctors who were just ordinary GPs, or specialists in other disciplines (eg psychiatry), and numerous “doctors” on Twitter, who on closer inspection turned out to be “doctors” of sociology, Trade Union Studies, criminology etc (if even those).

The results of the shutdown of society for ~2 years have been terrible: an enormous and continuing death toll, the NHS working even less efficiently, the economy facing severe and continuing downturn, the public facing harder and harder times; and so on.

Of course, the so-called “pandemic” was weaponized and used by Western governments (mainly), guided by transnational bodies such as the WEF, in order to introduce and test methods for the psychological control of mass populations. “The Great Reset” etc.

Imagine idiots like that thinking that “Jack Monroe” has somehow “beaten” Lee Anderson MP, when in fact she never even started a libel action against him, would have lost spectacularly had she done so, and has now slunk away even from attending the County Court matter in which she is the defendant, and in which one of the people she cheated via Patreon is the claimant (“plaintiff”, as was, years ago).

Stunning to consider that idiots of that type all have a vote…

I hope that “grifter”/fraudster “Jack Monroe” does stop getting subsidized by (as of today) 413 utter mugs via Patreon, and that she really does fall to the point where she is living on State benefits alone. Let’s see then whether she can feed herself (as she claims) on about 33p a day (11p x 3) or (as she confusingly also claims) £20 a week (for 4 people, so £5 a week or 70p a day per person).

It’s all nonsense and lies, of course. “Jack Monroe” has thousands of pounds per month in cash via the Patreon grift/scam, and some other sources of income as well.

I think that there is some kind of familial relationship; one certainly seems likely from her looks.

Disgrace. Better said, another disgrace.

The tweet from Lucy Allan MP, an alumna of Durham University, also betrays the fact that she does not know the difference between “principle” and “principal“. Good grief.

Talking about Sven Longshanks (James Allchurch), it is good to see his resettlement fund growing:

Putin and the ruling circles in Moscow may now have to consider whether they will actually need the city of Kiev intact at the end of this war.

War is horrible, and had this war been planned and executed properly from the start, it would have ended after a few weeks with complete Russian victory, and with relatively slight harm done. Now, it may have to end with the ancient city of Kiev again being levelled (as also happened —in central areas— in 1943).

Come what may, Russia now has to fight on until it achieves victory, even if that victorious end is bitter.

To the bitter end…

On another aspect of the present conflict, I see that the pound sterling now buys about 100 Russian roubles. When I was last in Moscow, in 2007, the (tourist) rate was a fifth of that, 1:20.

Having said that, the mass of the Russian population is as good as unaffected by the long-term slide of the rouble. As I have blogged previously, Russia could even survive quite well as an autarky, and that is not presently necessary, because trade between Russia and much of the world has not only continued but expanded. China, of course, is key.

For me, the whole “Partygate” thing is a classic Westminster Bubble pseudo-scandal, and in any case the “pandemic” was a “panicdemic”, if not a “scamdemic”; but, having said that, it is remarkable the extent to which decent administration and governance has vanished from the UK in the years since both Government and Opposition became packed with Jews, Indians, Middle Easterners of various kinds, and blacks. Co-incidence?

It must be a grave temptation for Putin and his group to say, simply, “**** it!” and fire all nuclear missiles at the USA, London, Kiev, Warsaw, Tel Aviv etc. Fortunately for Europe, Putin is far more measured than that.

Sometimes, “liberation” and “a desert” are not far apart, as Tacitus noted (more or less) over 2,000 years ago.

Let us hope that Europe as a whole does not look like that in 2030…

If I were Putin, that is one task I would delegate.

It seems obvious to me that today’s attack on Moscow was designed to irritate and cause fear to the ruling and wealthy Muscovites who live in neighbourhoods such as Barvikha, where many leading members of the General Staff and other institutions live.

The aim of the attack seems to be to show Putin and his immediate circle as weak, and unable to protect, crucially, those who themselves support his power.

A poor week for me, in that I was beaten by political journalist John Rentoul, who only scores higher than me in about one in twenty such quizzes; he scored 7/10, whereas I scored only 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 7, 8, 9, and 10 (and I admit that I guessed no.5, though it was sort-of an educated guess).

Do not forget “the men behind the wire”…

Re. that second poll, for me it means that 10% of the UK population are direct enemies of our country and people, that 27% are non-Brits and/or enemies and/or completely stupid, that 13% are stupid or totally unaware or blind to what is happening all around them, but that about 49% or 50%, half of the entire population, are aware and perhaps angry. What matters, though, is just how angry.

…or to put it another way, a near-plurality of voters think that both Sunak and Starmer are both incompetent and dishonest. I wonder why they might think that?

…and the present Waitrose situation is by reason of “a massive IT failure” at their head office in Bracknell (i.e. nothing to do with Brexit), or so I overheard this morning when getting a few “necessary” items (lottery tickets, kefir, pineapple juice, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean antipasti, Charentes croissants etc). Waitrose gave me a £5 voucher for next time.

I have noticed, in the past couple of years especially, a general lessening of choice, though, but not only at Waitrose. To my mind, UK supermarkets actually had a better selection of goods in 1988…

The System was pushing hard for David Miliband in 2010. A complete System drone, who failed to take over the Labour Party, and then went to the USA thereafter to make a very large salary (now over USD $1M a year) to head “International Rescue”, an NGO with assets of hundreds of millions of dollars: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Rescue_Committee#Finances.

A million pounds or more per year, maybe even two million, if his speaking fees and other “earners” are included.

He belongs to the Trilateral Commission as well:

Membership in the Trilateral Commission is highly selective and by invitation only; as of 2021, there were roughly 400 members, including leading figures in politics, business, media, and academia. Each country within the three regions is assigned a quota of members reflecting its relative political and economic strength. The organization represents influential commercial and political interests that share a commitment to private enterprise and trade, multilateralism, and global governance; this has subjected it to criticism for elitism.”

David Miliband— just the sort of wealthy “you know who” who might appeal to impoverished British voters…oh, no, wait…

People sometimes claim that I focus too much on Jewish or Jew-Zionist influence in international and national politics. Well, just look at the facts.

In almost every instance.

Still, even a stopped clock is right sometimes…

It’s “Kiev”, and always has been, not “Kyiv“, and certainly not the BBC/Sky invention, “Keeev“…

“[Rachel] Reeves said: “What I want to see is people who are already in Britain being trained up for the jobs that are available in the economy… there are many people who are not in work who with the right support, could get into work.

She threw her weight behind plans to devolve back to work support to town halls, with localised drives to get people off benefits and back into work as part of a focus on “incentivising people“.

There is no real difference between the drivel spewed out by Labour Friends of Israel MP Rachel Reeves and that emitted by Conservative Friends of Israel MP Iain “Dunce” Duncan Smith over the past 13+ years.

Localized drives” to harass the unemployed and/or disabled, and to take away the tiny incomes (from the State) that they need? Sounds as if any people without high income or capital voting Labour-label will be turkeys voting for Christmas…

Goodnight Vienna…Kiev

Idiots such as “Boris”, Liz Truss, and now the Indian money-juggler, Sunak, have been busy painting a big bullseye onto the UK…

Look at Ukraine under Zelensky’s regime— no economy left, except for harvesting grain and potato, pensions and State employees only getting paid because the West, mainly USA, is squeezing its own taxpayers for this garbage. “Ukraine” only has arms and ammunition because NATO states and others are funnelling them to Kiev free of charge. The Zelensky regime has shot or arrested opponents and dissidents, closed down trade unions and critical newspapers. As for ordinary justice, young girls suspected of shoplifting get sellotaped to trees on city streets and verbally (and maybe physically) abused.

Ukraine, as it now is, is a “failed state” in all ways.

The UK police, many of them, are far more interested in doing fake “communitarian” things than doing their proper job, “proper job” meaning deterring or investigating those old boring crimes such as murder, other offences against the person, crimes of acquisition etc.

No, all too many of them have embraced all too readily their new role of being the militia of a toytown “woke” police state, and a poundland KGB, snooping on tweets and other online material (whether they understand that material or not). Still, what goes around comes around, in the end…

The above clip is a typical example. The police in question are chatting about (?) football or (?) Eurovision, and are ignoring the unlawful blocking of the road… until their chat is interrupted. Then they take action, but against a victim of the malicious little pseudo-eco mob, not the mob itself!

Sometimes you can just see what may well happen not far down the road, and if the police fail —continue to fail— to stand with the British people, they themselves will fall victim.

Virtually subhuman. Drop him and the whole troop down a black hole.

Actually, I admit that I am wrong. Not “virtually“…

Many very silly people think that the Suffragettes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette] were justified in their “direct action” programme, a kind of low-level “terrorism”, because without it, women would never have been granted the vote. The only thing about that, though, is that it is not true.

Women all over the world gained the vote in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, almost all without violent protest. Indeed, the Suffragists in the UK were on that same road: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage.

As to whether “the vote” really is useful, in 2023, that is a debate for some other time.

Still, she and her sister, and the husbands of both, have a “nice little earner” going on: both sisters are “Labour” MPs, and the sister is married to yet another Labour MP, while Rachel Reeves’ husband is also well-embedded in the present System: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Joicey.

Add up the salaries of that quartet, their personal expenses, their “perks”, and their various other income streams, and you are probably looking at £1M-£2M p.a.

I am now old enough (66) to remember when “Labour” was at least notionally connected to “the working man”, or what were once called (by Labour MPs) “working people“.

Diary Blog, 4 May 2023, with more thoughts about freedom of expression, and about the new Public Order Act 2023

Morning music

[the Firebird, from a Palekh lacquer box]

From the newspapers

https://inews.co.uk/news/essex-pub-displayed-golliwog-dolls-beer-supplies-2314995?ico=most_popular.

A pub in Essex that had its collection of golliwog dolls defended by Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, has shut down after suppliers cut off their beer supply.

[from the i newspaper]

Very typical of our times: the System repressing freedom of expression not only by opposing individuals politically but also by attacking their personal, family, and business life. It happened to Laura Towler, Sam Melia, and Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative. Their personal bank accounts were shut down, not by the State directly, not by the courts, but by the unilateral decision of each individual’s bank. Meaning by malicious individuals in those banks, sitting in positions where they had the executive power to do what they did.

In the same way, one sees on Twitter the Jew-Zionist element very keen to contact the employers, or professional regulators, of anyone tweeting supposedly “antisemitic” tweets. See, for example, my own experience of 2014-2016, and up to the present day: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/.

Reverting to the pub golliwogs story, obviously Heineken and Carlsberg should both be boycotted, but that is mere gesture-politics, really.

This is no trivial story, but goes to the root of what was once, but is no more, a “free society”.

One has to ask, at what point does the repression contra freedom of expression in this society invite direct action against those repressing free speech?

https://inews.co.uk/opinion/most-draconian-assault-free-speech-living-memory-now-law-2313273?ico=most_popular.

The most draconian assault on free speech in living memory is now law.

The Public Order Act was given royal assent and became law yesterday. Today, the Government will activate powers which prevent demonstrators from engaging in all kinds of activities.

[the Act] introduces Serious Disruption Prevention Orders (SDPOs), a kind of protester Asbo, which, if they’re imposed, can demand the individual report to authorities, or be banned from meeting certain associates, or be blocked from campaigning online.

The House of Lords did what it could to kick back. The original text of the bill allowed the courts to impose an SDPO even if the person had never been convicted of a crime, a truly unthinkable Orwellian proposition. The Lords killed it. They also killed a power to impose a 24/7 GPS monitoring tag on those who received a SDPO.”

[from the i newspaper]

Still, it is easy enough in these times for the political police, or malicious special-interest groups, such as the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, to conspire to get someone convicted on some trumped-up minor charge (the Jew-Zionist fanatics have been doing that for years, as with the Alison Chabloz prosecutions), after which that individual will now perhaps be made subject to one of these “Serious Disruption Prevention Orders”, which in their effect are not really any different to the way in which the Second Chief Directorate of the KGB, prior to about 1989, controlled and regulated minor dissidents in the Soviet Union.

Of course, the i newspaper people will have been all in favour of the repression exercised against the golliwog pub owners, while paying lip service to freedom of expression re. the new Public Order Act.

It is that hypocrisy that prevents so many “free speech” campaigns being effective, as with Toby Young and his “Free Speech Union”, which seems to take the view that free speech is all-important except when Jews complain about the free speech of those opposing Israeli or Jewish interests. The “FSU” never said a word in defence of Alison Chabloz or others; neither has it ever said one word in defence of my rights.

Come to think of it, I do not recall the writer of that opinion piece, Ian Dunt, supporting my free speech rights. In fact, rather the reverse, if I recall aright. One can guess why, of course…

Kiev“. Note the guard force. When some supposed VIP goes to Kiev to meet Zelensky or one of his cabal, and to create a photo-opportunity, the streets around are deserted, except for any sole “local person” allowed to approach the foreign visitor to thank him for his country’s “support” (arms, ammunition, money); as when “Boris” Johnson visits.

So, those deserted streets. Are they cleared as a security measure, or has a large part of the civilian population of Kiev fled?

As relevant to Britain in 2023 as a comic novel, or a film about “Ruritania”.

Meanwhile…

More of Stoltenberg in Kiev, in Mikhailovskaya Ploshchad (Square), which is in central Kiev, near the Foreign Ministry and the British Embassy, among other headquarters and diplomatic installations. Still no “real people” (locals), only bodyguards, Army, police, TV crew(s), and Press photographers. Of what are they so afraid? Can it be that the Zelensky regime (and/or NATO) is not as popular, even in Kiev, as it likes to have portrayed?

I have never expected much from Starmer. For one thing, he is a puppet and mouthpiece of the Jewish/Zionist lobby, even as compared to other System politicians. Also, he is as dull as ditchwater.

Beyond that, I have noticed (and have long blogged) that Starmer’s general attitude to the past 13 years of “Conservative” misgovernment has been to say, in effect, “we support workhouses, but they should be run more efficiently“.

Starmer is not only not a “socialist” in any meaningful way, but not even much of a social-democrat. A different label from the Conservative Party, but little else substantially different.

In fact, looking at how Starmer vacillates, fails to make up his mind (even as to what is “a woman”!), and tries to evade difficult moral choices, while mouthing “me too!” on various issues, I can see what a rotten Prime Minister he would make, just as I saw —years before most people— what a rotten PM “Boris”-idiot would make.

As time goes by, my view against Starmer becomes less and less favourable, not that it was actually ever favourable.

Both the Kiev regime and the Russian Government have stated that the status of Crimea is non-negotiable.

Imagine…that McFaul person was U.S. Ambassador to Moscow, and yet such is his level of analysis. Hard to believe.

As I blogged yesterday, if the Western governments knew, or know, that the Chinese government released the “Covid” strain(s) deliberately, that leaves them with the question “why?” and, also, with the dilemma about what to do about it.

China can hardly be invaded or attacked, or (in any serious way) subjected to economic sanctions, so what would be left? Verbal handwringing? That would make the West look weak, or even weaker. The only answer seems to be to pretend that the Chinese government did not do anything wrong…

Where do they think they would be without white European people? Not living in luxury, travelling around in private planes or limousines, that’s for sure. Probably sitting in mud and straw huts somewhere, cooking sadza.

A kind of Israeli Jew Kristallnacht, in fact, but carried out by aggressive colonizers.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/2/27/unprecedented-israeli-settlers-wreak-havoc-on-occupied-nablus.

It is being reported that some Israeli Jews disapprove of the violence.As a matter of fact, Adolf Hitler was taken by surprise by Kristallnacht, and somewhat disapproved of it, knowing that foreign enemies would use it against him.

Of course, the Israeli state was built on that kind of terrorism and intimidation. Mass graves are still occasionally uncovered in Israel, the result of Jewish ethnic cleansing from around 1948.

In the UK, USA, France, “they” are a relatively small minority, and usually rely on other methods: threats of “legal action”, prosecutions etc, if anyone criticizes their behaviour; attacking people’s jobs, businesses, or professions; bribery of MPs and officials; a stranglehold over the Press, publishing, TV, radio etc.

I do not know whether those Huwarra/Huwara events have been covered by BBC, Sky etc. Maybe, maybe not.

I rarely bother to watch TV news now, partly because it is so dull as to be almost unwatcheable, partly because it is largely System propaganda. The political editors are usually either (((you-know-who))) or in the pocket of the same.

I doubt whether the Jew settlers would have had the courage to carry out their pogrom had they not been backed up by the Israeli Army. Basically, Jew bullies.

Incidents of settler violence across the West Bank happen every day, and have steadily increased over the past few years: many of the 700,000 or so Israelis living in the territory and East Jerusalem are motivated by what they see as a religious mission to restore the historical land of Israel to the Jewish people. Settlement communities are viewed as illegal under international law, and one of the biggest obstacles to peace.

I have to say, if immodestly, that that 2022 blog post has held up quite well overall, though with one important exception— the ability of the Kiev regime to fight on, backed by Western powers.

That happened in India but, as not infrequently blogged about, the “panicdemic” also liberated a whole load of mentally-unstable mugs and loonies in the UK. In fact, I noticed only yesterday, in the local Waitrose, two or three idiotic elderly women wearing facemasks, two of whom (maybe all three, but two that I saw) also wearing them in the not-busy car park. I wonder how old and filthy those masks were; possibly from 1-2 years ago, and replete with germs.

Brainwashed crazies.

Is that “Waco“, or “wacko“?

In fact, the “hollow Earth theory” (or theories) continue to attract devotees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth. There is some connection to the theories of Hans Horbiger [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanns_H%C3%B6rbiger] known as the Welteislehre [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welteislehre] or “Doctrine of World Ice”.

It is surprising what some people believe. A friend of mine was visiting people she knew in Switzerland about 30 years ago; they went over the border to Germany to see mutual acquaintances. It turned out that one old fellow, a former Waffen SS sergeant, had become obsessed by the idea that Hitler had withdrawn in 1945 to a redoubt under the ice in Antarctica, and from where (he thought) it was possible to access the interior of the Earth.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11793317/US-missiles-100-mile-range-used-Ukraine-strikes-retake-Mariupol-Russia.html

Ukraine has launched a series of surprise attacks on Russian troops and supply lines in Mariupol – the first strikes on the city since it fell to the Kremlin last May after a brutal three-month siege that left the key port in ruins.

There were at least 18 strikes last week over three successive days – the most recent on Friday night – in a significant ratcheting up of Ukrainian efforts to retake its captured southern corridor, the strip of coastal land that links to Crimea.

There is speculation the explosions – which took place amid Kyiv’s warnings of a Russian offensive to coincide with the war’s first anniversary – may have involved newly donated long-range US rockets with a range of almost 100 miles.

[Daily Mail].

So the Kiev regime now has American missiles capable of hitting targets 100 miles away? Moscow itself is only 300 miles from the nearest point of the border with Ukraine. Where will this end? I see no sign of anything other than escalation. At the end of the day, the Russian side may take, perhaps literally, the nuclear option, and go on to flatten Kiev, Kharkov, and other major cities, then move into the empty space with a rebuilding programme and Russian settlers.

Troops who were medically discharged will also be allowed to rejoin, and will be able to keep any compensation they received when they were forced to retire.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has also said that soldiers who left the Forces after taking redundancy more than two years ago will likely be able to rejoin without having to pay back any cash.

It is understood that those who were sacked for smoking cannabis or who tested positive for drugs such as cocaine or amphetamines might also be reconsidered.

The idea that the “free” (Jew-Zionist permeated) Press/msm in the USA comprise anything other than NWO/ZOG propaganda is delusionary. I recall being in the USA in 1990-1991 when the USA was preparing to fight Iraq for the first time. Wall-to-wall propaganda, much of it a pack of not very clever but still effective lies (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony, straight from the WW1 and WW2 atrocity-propaganda and/or “holocaust” hoax playbook).

Effective propaganda when relayed to a public unable or unwilling to think for itself, or critically, or sceptically, a public without much if any knowledge of history, or even basic world geography (I met Americans in New York and New Jersey who were unaware where even American states, such as Wisconsin, were located!).

That main tweet (despite being by pro-Zelensky msm drone John Sweeney) does show the localized nature of the conflict. Most of Ukraine is only affected indirectly by the fighting in the southeast, though of course the electricity blackouts must have made life very difficult for many.

Wars usually are localized. Most areas, most of the time, are not like the Tet Offensive, or Stalingrad. Even in the days of the bombing of the UK during WW2 (mostly mid-1940 to mid-1941), large areas of the UK were unaffected (directly). That was even true of London.

If you visit London today, even Central London, you see that, despite postwar redevelopment, most of it dates from before WW2. Destruction from bombing affected more the dockland areas and those districts around the docks (City of London, inner East London etc).

The “free” and “democratic” Ukraine of the Jew Zelensky…

In any case, even were the absurd idea that Putin wants to invade Central and Western Europe true, how could he, looking at how hard he is finding it even to hold on to about a tenth of Ukraine territory?

Interesting, in view of the activities of the British Army’s 77 Brigade. One of the most extreme pro-war and anti-Russia MPs, Tobias Ellwood, is said to hold the rank of (Reserves) Colonel in that unit.

I have blogged to that effect myself, more than once.

Pseudo-science“? At one time the theories of Galileo, Pasteur, Tesla, and many others, were called “pseudo-science”… Where is the line drawn? 1960s CIA “remote viewing” experiments? Rupert Sheldrake? Uri Geller?

notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Sheldrake; https://www.sheldrake.org/; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Geller.

How time flies! Rupert Sheldrake is now 80. I remember him being described as a maverick young scientist; that must have been sometime around 1980.

In fact, I see that Uri Geller is now 76. In or about 1971, when he bought one of the largest houses in Sonning, Berkshire (where George Clooney now has a house, and where I was at school 1970-1973), he was still in his mid-twenties; he was on UK TV sometimes, bending spoons etc.

The usual “democratic” methods will not stop that sort of thing. This is a war, not a debate.
