Saturday quiz

Well, this week I scored the same as political journalist John Rentoul— 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 4, 5, and 7 (just missed on no. 4).

Strange that Gary Lineker looks rather “non-Aryan”, but I have looked at his Wikipedia entry. No clue there. Still, I wonder whether there is not some —perhaps undocumented— alien element.
“Earn well“? The bastard is paid nearly £2,000,000 a year to shoot the breeze about football, a ridiculous emolument possible only because the leech-like BBC makes people pay —on pain, ultimately, of imprisonment— for a so-called “Television Licence” the monies of which go exclusively to the BBC out of hundreds of broadcasters. A completely monstrous, unjust, boondoggle which is a left-over from the 1930s in origin (1950s in general practice). Completely out of date.
Beyond that, real “free speech”, and real “democracy” too, is subverted because there is an “in-group” in broadcasting. If you are part of it, you get paid, annually, £200,000, £500,000, a million pounds, or even more. If, though, you are chucked out of that charmed circle because you and/or your views are dissident in any real sense (as with all social-national or even conservative-nationalist people), you go outside and are then (as Nietzsche put it) “facing the wintry wind“.
That is why, on any really controversial issue, the broadcasting drones (whether news, commentary, sports, comedy, drama, whatever) all spout System propaganda, whether on immigration, migration-invasion, race, Jews, the contrived “holocaust” farrago, “Covid”, the “Covid “vaccines”, their vaccine dangers, “Ukraine”, the “blacks with everything” campaign. You name it.
In short, all the denizens of the System broadcasting milieu know that those big salaries and fees, the expensive houses and cars and holidays, their whole way of life, and popular status, are all dependent on either saying the “right” thing, or at least not saying the “wrong” (not acceptable to System) thing.

The wider questions around all of that, though, include the true level of migration-invasion, which goes even beyond the relentless and infuriating small-boat invasion making landfall on the coasts of Kent and Sussex.
The larger migration-invasion contingents do not arrive on small boats but “legally” (superficially), such as via marriage visas, fiance/fiancee visas, work visas, student visas (many, perhaps most, never return home), tourist visas etc.
Indeed, the largest contingent of “invaders” are those arriving simply by being born to non-white or other non-British mothers already in the UK.

I was brought up going to race meetings: mainly Ascot, Newbury, and Windsor, but also Sandown, Kempton and, more rarely, other courses— Brighton, Goodwood, Cheltenham and Hereford; also, point-to-points in Berkshire, Hampshire, and Buckinghamshire.
There have been improvements in horse welfare, particularly in the actual running of races; more needs to be done. In particular, and as that clip showed, racehorses, after their race careers, must be shown proper loyalty and respect, and put out to grass for their remaining days.
How about society stopping the rat-race of mothers having to go out to work from financial necessity, those mothers then being able to spend at least the first, say, 7 years with their children at home? Or 14 years, for that matter (with opportunity to then return to work and/or to new careers, if they want).

Thinking “outside the box”, how about giving the invaders (both sexes) a choice between leaving the UK within a certain number of days (maybe 30 days) with financial help, or facing compulsory sterilization? That at least would safeguard the race-stock.
Just watched that clip. A very stupid and ill-informed discussion. Desalination need not be hugely energy-intensive. I rarely commend the Israelis, but they are now, arguably, the leaders in this, using filters (reverse-osmosis) to purify water: https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/19/middleeast/israel-water-desalination-climate-cmd-intl/index.html.
“At the end of 2013 four plants, with a total capacity of almost 500 million m3/year per year, were operational. All plants use reverse osmosis, utilizing self-generated power.” [Wikipedia].
In fact, Israel now gets 75% of its water from the Mediterranean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in_Israel. If brackish water is included, 85%.
Learn from whomsoever you can.
In the UK, there are a number of issues around water supply and use. First of all, the unnecessary and deliberate increase in population (from immigration and births to immigrants) since the 1980s, and especially from the 1990s.
Secondly, the sheer incompetence of the water companies in various ways, especially in the failure to repair leaking pipes.
Thirdly, in domestic areas (the type of bathroom and kitchen taps used, the rarity of garden water barrels etc). See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainwater_harvesting.
Fourthly, design issues. In some parts of the world, such as southern Spain, new multi-story buildings have to have rainwater catchment and storage. When I lived for a while in the Caribbean, I saw that most villas (including mine) had large inbuilt water tanks. The water was unsuitable for drinking unless boiled (I had to buy imported mineral water, or UV-filtered Miami tap water, the latter USD $5 per U.S. gallon, for that), but the tank water was OK, from a health viewpoint, for coffee and tea. The tank water never ran out, despite being used for showers etc.
I happened to see the following article as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groasis_Waterboxx.
Incidentally, while looking at Wikipedia, I also saw this:
“In March 2017, a national survey was published that concluded that there is an extremely high rate of serious iodine deficiency among the Israeli population, and in particular among pregnant women (85%) and school-age children (62%).[59] The researchers mentioned the lack of a national salt iodisation program and the heavy dependence on iodine-depleted desalinated seawater as reasons for this major public health problem.[59] The concerns include a “high risk of maternal and fetal hypothyroidism and impaired neurological development of the fetus”, and the professor leading the study stated that iodine deficiency has lowered the IQ level of Israeli children by four to five points over the past 50 years.[59]“
[Wikipedia]
Interesting. Has that had political effects? Also, what is our British excuse (or reason)? I am convinced that the IQ levels of the UK population have also dropped greatly in the past half-century. Even discounting the effect of the vast numbers of blacks and browns, there has surely been a very obvious lowering of intelligence among the native white population.

I noticed that the above had a hit or two today. It has, I think, held up well, re-reading it, despite having been left with gaps by Twitter and YouTube censorship.
More thoughts about Lineker, BBC, migration-invasion etc
The “rebellion” by BBC-paid “celebrity” drones wanting to virtue-signal about Lineker gives a clue as to the number of (in lay terms) “traitors” who are pumping out stuff in the msm. They all want or pretend to want more blacks and browns in the UK. If a handful have come out in public on that basis, a thousand times that number are working away undetected in the BBC, Sky, ITV etc.

In the UK, the ridiculous Gary Lineker/BBC Twitterstorm, or storm in a teacup, has completely displaced Ukraine from the top of msm news broadcasts. Just as the Kiev regime seems to be losing Bakhmut/Artyomovsk to Russian forces. Is that a co-incidence?
When you think that the “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) side alone has apparently lost 20,000 or 25,000 men there in Bakhmut/Artyomovsk (and the Russians possibly far more), it seems incredible. Or is it?
So the Kiev regime now strikes cities it claims as its own? The Russians have been rebuilding Mariopol/Mariupol.
There was an attack in Moscow too, today. Either a missile or a terrorist-type attack.
Keep prodding the bear with sharp sticks and see what happens…
To mix languages, kakaya grotesquerie!
Decadence has taken over 99% of the USA.
On thermonuclear war (with apologies to Herman Kahn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kahn)
As I have blogged previously, a year or so ago, during the period roughly 1949-1989, i.e. the ~40 years of the Cold War, into which I was born (b.1956), I never, as child or adult, believed that there would be a nuclear war between East and West, though we now know that, quite apart from the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1963, one nearly started by ridiculous accident in 1983: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident.
After the death of Sovietism, officially 1991 but in reality about 1989, and during both the Yeltsin and Putin rulerships 1991-2012, there was effective detente between the West and Russia. Storm clouds gathered after that.
Only now, in the past year or so, have I been seriously concerned that there might be a real and almost inevitably nuclear war between NATO (i.e. the USA and its hangers-on) and Russia.
The regional conflict in the Ukraine area, which is now a regional war, sees ever-more escalation by NATO and the West generally. More advanced, and heavier, weapons being shipped to the Kiev regime, along with enormous amounts of non-military aid, and equally-huge amounts of actual money, some of which has certainly been stolen by Kiev-regime officials.
The situation is uncertain, but a full war between NATO and Russia is now by no means unlikely, and all because NATO wants to pressure Russia and then have Putin removed by internal coup, possibly to be followed by the breaking up of the Russian Federation into a number of constituent parts, something that has not been the case since the time of Ivan the Terrible (16thC).
