Stray thoughts

I happened to see a film on Channel 4, Wicked Little Letters, a kind of comedy-drama based (very loosely) on actual events in the 1920s. Apparently, the film has been popular.

Well, like not a few films, this one had much going for it —famous actors and actresses, and good locations— yet, in the end, was underwhelming.

The subject-matter is hardly new— poison-pen letters causing turmoil in a small town, in this case on the South Coast of England.

The plot is derivative, and the denouement could be seen coming down the track long before it arrived. The acting, though skilled, was (presumably deliberately) overplayed. Apart from that, the anachronisms were several.

At one point, Timothy Spall’s character reads in his newspaper and comments about the Suffragettes’ campaign going on while “the boys” were fighting in France. Well, the film is set in the 1920s, and we hear that the War has been over for some time. Women of 30+ were given the vote, in principle, in 1918.

Another anachronism: one of the main female characters has a West Indian boyfriend living with her, very unlikely in the 1920s, if only because there were very few blacks in England at the time.

Then we see that one of the local women is also West Indian. In Littlehampton, Sussex. In the 1920s.

The first ever appointed local policewoman, who detects the truth, turns out to be Indian, again very unlikely in that era.

A policeman seen towards the end of the film is a West Indian; in reality, the first black policeman in England joined the (Metropolitan) Police only in 1968, I believe.

Finally, the judge at the eventual trial is also black!

This is more than unintelligent casting; it is cultural sickness.

A repentant sinner…

What a surprise…or maybe not. I have been blogging about this for some time.

I think not.

Beria’s mother was of Georgian noble stock, and a devotee of the Georgian Orthodox Church. Though it is not completely impossible that his father was a Jew or part-Jew, he was a landowner in Mingrelia and was a Mingrelian (a minority inside Georgia). Again, a Jewish background is highly unlikely.

Why did a German newspaper in 1952 describe Beria as Jewish? Probably part of the early Cold War propaganda output pumped out at the time by the West German intelligence agency called the Gehlen Organization (a CIA ally). A good way to counteract Soviet propaganda etc in postwar West Germany would be to say that Beria was a Jew (many Communists were, of course).

The Gehlen Organization was based at Pullach, near Munich, which makes my theory even more likely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gehlen_Organization.

That tweet shows the problem. Politics is not, or should not be, a game. Those Hitler called “dirty democratic politicians” in the 1920s however regard it as a game, in which “approved” players get careers, money, prestige (even if they “lose” the “game” in relative terms). For the British people, though, this is no game. It concerns their lives, the future of their children etc.

You see the same pathology, or a similar one, in scribblers such as Peter Hitchens, or scribblers-turned-politicians such as Matt Goodwin, when they talk about there being a “debate” about the migration invasion etc. This is no “debate”. It is an invasion and a war.

So far, I concede that Burnham has done two things of which I approve. The first was to ditch the Digital ID policy of Starmer-stein. It had to go, and was not only ludicrously unworkable but also a dystopian intrusion into “the lives of others”.

Liz Kendall has been flying well above her true level (county council or local council) for years. She has no business being in national politics. Thick as two short planks despite her paper education, and an Israel-loyalist (Labour Friends of Israel) as well. She has a history of trying to make the disabled and needy etc poorer, yet she herself lives with an Old Etonian asset manager worth untold millions, and in a house worth millions:

“Kendall is currently in a relationship with Old Etonian and global head of multi-asset solutions at Santander Asset Management, James Ind. She lives in Notting Hill in a Victorian home purchased for £3.9 million in 2021.”

[Wikipedia]

I think that Liz Kendall is at least part-Jew, but have so far been unable to find direct evidence of that.

She is 55 now, so her dismissal probably marks the end of her political career beyond being a backbench MP.

Still, good riddance, as far as it goes.

Lammy gone too. Brilliant. He demeaned every office he held. A thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire”.

Not to forget:

Rachel Reeves too. Good news. Another hard-faced Labour Friends of Israel puppet.

Why would that be? The recent history of women in such roles has not been very positive. Dan Hodges is a woke joke.

If the System wants a war, it will get it, but maybe not the war it wants…

The Kiev regime is pushing Russia too far. I now cannot rule out a nuclear attack on Kiev.

It is only a matter of time before Russia loses its patience with the Kiev regime.

Rumpelstiltskinstein.

“10 green bottles“…

One by one, the Kiev regime’s bottles are falling.

The corrupt and brutal Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev continues its activities, press-ganging unwilling men into its shambolic armed forces.

This is what bastards such as Tobias Ellwood are supporting.

The Kiev regime is still not getting the message…

A little Dutch NWO/ZOG puppet.

Stray thought

Saw a number of tweets by msm scribbler and talking-head, Dan Hodges. He is not so much a journalist as a would-be political player.

Determined to support the very underwhelming Andy Burnham, yet Hodges scribbles for the Daily Mail. Hodges is also always pushing the Nigerian woman, Kemi Badenoch, currently posing as leader of the washed-up Conservative Party.

Hodges’ attacks on Farage are becoming obsessional. Hodges has not yet worked out that people are voting Reform UK mainly because they hate and despise the System parties, especially Lab and Con, so whatever flaws Reform and Farage may have will not, if exposed, have the devastating effect Hodges imagines.

More tweets

If accurate, translates into a Commons with about 329 Reform UK MPs (small overall majority), 88 Lab (extremely weak official Opposition), 70 LibDems, 67 Cons, 40 SNP, 32 Greens [etc].

How many times has that happened since 1941? Thousands. Yet if the Americans are hit by an attack on one of their civilian areas (as in 2001), the skies fall in…

That situation will get even worse when Labour allows “members of the public”— who will be mainly black and brown, probably, with a few (?) Jews in London and elsewhere, to decide immigration appeal cases.

Anyway, as far as the Belfast untermensch is concerned, he should be put up against a wall and eliminated, and who cares where he or it is from.

Joke “leader” of the fake Conservative Party, the Nigerian woman, has even endorsed the unfunny loonie calling himself Count Binface.

Jews are always brave when in a mob and against a lone woman, or a child. Look at the behaviour of their troops in Gaza and elsewhere. They are always either bullies or —self-described— “victims”.

If non-Jews stand up against them, they run away unless surrounded by bodyguards, as one sees (online, or on TV) in situations in London and elsewhere.

Telling.

Rassenschande. Sadly, there are many silly women in the UK too, women who get involved with non-Europeans, even blacks, and in some cases even have children with them. It rarely ends well, in any sense.

This is the kind of terrorism bastards such as Tobias Ellwood support, in effect, via unqualified support for the criminal Kiev regime .

Neither side should be directly targeting civilians, but in fact almost all if not all of that now taking place is by the Kiev regime forces.

As remarked earlier, Rutte is just a little Dutch puppet of NWO/ZOG.

I imagine that the Iranian response will be to block shipping from transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Well, give that man a cee-gar! (see tweet below…).

[“A security source told Press TV: Iran’s new strategy is to completely close the Strait of Hormuz and deliver a crushing response to any American attack.

A well-informed source told Press TV that the events of the last 48 hours show that Iran will not give up control of the Strait of Hormuz and is ready to fight for it.

The source stressed that Iran’s new strategy is as follows: after any strike, firstly, the Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed, and secondly, a strike will be delivered against the opponent involving at least twice as many targets as the number of Iranian facilities hit.

The source stated: “The memorandum of understanding signed on this issue explicitly stipulates that Iran will reopen the strait in accordance with the conditions it has set itself. Therefore, Iran will not allow the formation of any new routes outside the order it has defined.“

Commenting on Trump’s recent threats, he said: “Any threat will receive a powerful response. Iran does not distinguish between the US and its regional allies. Trump will achieve nothing with his latest threats, but he will definitely lose the Strait of Hormuz and the negotiations on a final agreement. The choice is now his.”]

Translates to a Commons with about 260 Reform UK MPs (about 66 short of a bare majority), Lab 106 (very weak official Opposition), Cons 104, 51 LibDems, 46 Greens, 45 SNP, 12 Plaid [etc].

So much for the “Burnham Bounce” the msm scribblers expected.

I blogged, after the Makerfield by-election, that Burnham’s supposed popularity, an entirely contrived idea anyway, would not travel far outside Manchester. I think that it is becoming obvious that that is so.

Farage is under attack for his various sleazy connections, but people are voting, or intending to vote, Reform not because they much agree with or much like Farage or Reform, but precisely to hit out at Lab and Con, to do them down. An anti-System tendency.

I saw Annie Machon once, with her then boyfriend David Shayler. They jumped onto the platform of a bus I was already on, in Baker Street, at the traffic lights at Marylebone Road. I believe that such buses with open platforms no longer exist; what a pity— brilliant and useful design.

I have no idea whether that was their way of throwing off surveillance, or whether they just wanted to catch the bus. I recognized them immediately.

At that time, Shayler and, by association, Annie Machon, were fairly if briefly famous, and were in the newspapers fairly often. Must have been around 2002. I think that they were on their way to what had once, in the mid-1990s, been my old stamping-ground, the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand.

Small world. I later spoke, in 2017, at the London Forum, where Shayler also gave a talk about half an hour before me, though I did not actually meet him or exchange any words with him. By that time, he had already been —and then not been— both a sort-of transsexual “cosplay” and, by his own account, the Son of God.

Actually, I quite enjoyed Shayler’s talk at the London Forum.

As for Annie Machon, I believe she lived in Iceland for a while, though her Wikipedia entry does not mention that.

[“The Government has confirmed that its so called ‘independent’ Digital ID Advisory watchdog, will not have its minutes published.

We are expected to carry out parliamentary scrutiny on one of the most significant erosions of our civil liberties for decades, and yet we are not told the group budget, member selection process, or given the minutes from their meetings. Journalists have also been excluded from advisory panels.

The Government must give us answers on this sinister policy, and rethink its current course.“]

We do not really live in a democracy but in a thinly-disguised oligarchic tyranny.

That bastard Ellwood is one of the worst criminals in this country. If the UK becomes a radioactive wasteland by reason of a pointless and unnecessary war with Russia, a major part of the guilt and blame will be his.

What is often forgotten is that the sale of fighter jets is not merely a matter of the aircraft themselves but also of the technical add-ons and training that usually form part of the sales package.

“Journalists” (scribblers, talking-heads etc) in the UK are mostly scavengers and similar riff-raff.

Farage must be odds-on to win the by-election. He got a vote-share of 46.2% in 2024.

At GE 2024, the Con Party put up their (former) MP candidate, retired actor and Garrick Club member, Giles Watling, at Clacton; he came second with 27.9% of the vote. Labour put up some young African, which was a deliberate insult to the English people of Clacton; the African got 16.2% of the vote.

Since 2024, Labour’s popularity has sunk, and I doubt whether the expected replacement of Starmer by Burnham will change much; it might even compound Labour’s problems.

As for the Conservatives, they have, it seems, now decided not to stand a candidate at the by-election. They may be afraid that their 2024 27.9% would sink to somewhere around 20% or even 15%. Whatever the truth of that, their absence must mean that Farage is a shoo-in. He may end up with over half, or even three-quarters, of the vote.

I cannot recall a (former) “main party” in the UK ever failing to put up a candidate at a Parliamentary by-election.

I have just now read that Labour will also not be standing a candidate at that by-election, and presumably for the same reasons— fear of getting a very humiliatingly-low vote; maybe about 10% of the overall vote. Farage is thereby guaranteed to get something like 75% of the vote.

[“Tories will never have an easier by-election again. Everyone else has stood aside. And they still don’t think they can win. No courage, no fight, no desire to change a frankly disastrous narrative. If they’re down to 40 seats it’s entirely their fault. Every single message or policy they put out is appalling. The strategy suicidal. Under anyone else they’d walk Clacton.“]

Not sure that I agree with the lady’s conclusion, but the failure to stand a candidate does scream out “we are afraid of getting a tiny vote“; same goes for Labour.

Our animal friends.

NATO and the EU are pushing hard. One day, Russia may decide to push back equally as hard, or harder.

[“Ishchenko: To avoid war with Europe, Russia must eliminate Ukraine as a Western war platform.

ALL PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE CONFLICT ARE NOW MANEUVERING BEFORE WAR – THE BRITISH ARE LEADING THE CHARGE TOWARDS WAR.

Currently, Britain is actively pushing towards a major European war. They have already made their decision. And, judging by the reactions of their nominal allies, Germany, Finland, and the Baltic states share this view. Poland is afraid, but also shares this sentiment.

A new phase of escalation may only begin after the war in Ukraine. And, judging by the determination of the British, who are organizing provocations at every turn, they will ultimately lead things to war.

A significant portion of Western Europe is, in one way or another, prepared to support the British plan for a major European war with Russia.”]

I think that the Kiev regime may only disappear when Kiev itself disappears; and that may happen.

There is something of the absurd about a tiny and unwarlike country such as the Netherlands fomenting war so assiduously.

The Israeli Jews, and those supporting the Israeli state in countries such as the UK, carry a karmic burden of guilt which, sooner or later, will have to be expiated.

Resign from what, though? So far, Burnham is neither Labour leader nor Prime Minister. He may become both soon, but I doubt that he will last very long or be very (if at all) popular.

That opinion poll translates into a Commons with about 295 Reform UK MPs (over 30 short of a bare majority), 98 Lab (weak official Opposition), 71 Cons, 53 Greens, 52 LibDems, 45 SNP, 12 Plaid [etc].

So a Reform UK minority government, only able to do anything via the votes of the Con MPs. Also, the Cons, Labour, LibDems , Greens, and SNP all having between 40-100 MPs.

A useless Parliament of that sort might help to pave the way for a social-national upsurge, whether electoral or, more likely, otherwise.

I do not agree 100% with the second tweet above, but do agree maybe 70%. Europe’s path and the consequences of taking that path since 1945 cannot be laid completely or solely at the door of one prominent individual, though Churchill does carry a large measure of guilt.

Starmer-stein may end by getting an Israeli state burial on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, like the otherwise unlamented Robert “Maxwell”.

Bickering, and petty power-plays, and egoism/egotism plays, are the natural situation, until the next historic wall of faith arises.

An abandoned homestead in Ireland

As blogged previously, in the early 20thC Ireland only had 1% tree cover, which has now, over the past few decades, increased to over 11%, perhaps over 12%. The potential, though, is huge.

The old Anglo-Irish, Protestant Ascendancy Irish, owned old castles, or Georgian houses; many still do. On the other hand, as I noticed when I was first in Ireland in the 1970s, the Roman Catholic Irish who are the bulk of the population preferred to live, given the opportunity (i.e. the funds), to build modern bungalows and other —usually quite ugly— houses, often with little in their gardens beyond lawn. Practical, in that climate, though. Roofs that keep out the rain; central heating…

My parents were friendly, long ago, in the late 1970s and 1980s, with a number of Irish people who lived in the counties around Dublin; they were all involved with racing, or other equine activities, in some way. One couple were involved in training horses, and the husband, whose name I forget (thanks to Google help, I recall now) was Tom Taaffe, who rode the Grand National winner, Quare Times, in 1955. I never met him, but did meet his very charming wife in England; that would have been late 1970s, maybe 1977 or 1978. Sometime around then.

I recall visiting, in 1985 or 1986, the home of one family of that circle; my parents were staying there at the time. Punchestown House, near Naas, County Kildare. The family, Doyle by name, were wealthy Roman Catholics involved in all sorts of business. They also owned a stud farm there.

Their home was a very comfortable large modern house, and what interested me was that, right there, a stone’s throw away, stood the ruins of the original house, 18thC but totally taken over by Nature. No roof to speak of, and no window glass. There was even a big tree growing through the remains of the roof area.

I suppose that English people in that position might try either to rescue the old house (if at all feasible), or build a modern copy. Perhaps, anyway.

Triggered by that memory, I just used incredible Google AI to bring back the detail I had forgotten. I see now that that one of that hospitable couple’s sons, Jack Doyle, an Olympic showjumper sponsored by Kerrygold, and whom I met (mid-1980s) in both England and Ireland, is still involved in all such activities— showjumping, stud farm etc.

Google AI is an incredible resource. I just fed in a few details about how my father and I drove to visit a lady (friendly with that Doyle family) and who lived at Baltyboys House, Blessington, County Wicklow, not very far away, a house previously the home of famous ballerina Ninette de Valois. Our hostess filled us up with Irish whiskey in mid-afternoon, and was very hospitable. I knew no more of the background until today, and now only thanks to Google AI.

Turns out that that lady, an Australian, was the wife of famous racing trainer Vincent O’Brien. I had no idea until today. I thought at the time that she was probably a widow. Turns out that Vincent O’Brien lived mainly elsewhere, in another large house, in Tipperary. I also had no idea that, at one time, one of the daughters of the O’Brien couple also lived there, and was married to one of the producers of the James Bond film, Thunderball, someone called McClory, whom I now see led a very adventurous life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_McClory.

Quite. I myself have little or no interest in team sports generally, and that includes soccer football, including the present World Cup. In fact, I have no idea what is the current state of play.

As the above pictures imply, in the UK, France, most Western European EU states, it comes down to idiots in pubs or sports bars saying “my blacks can beat your blacks“. Not entirely, but mostly.

To some extent, this stuff —World Cup, “lionesses” nonsense etc— is pushed in the UK in the msm as a way of distracting the masses. A long time has elapsed since the Roman Empire passed into history, but the old bread and circuses ploy for keeping the plebs quiet has evidently not lost its utility.

The police are, increasingly, brainwashed drones of the multikulti System society. They are also, often, influenced by courses etc run by the fanatical Jew-Zionist lobby.

Bank branches, post offices, the comfortable old names of retailers known for a century, all being swept away by the globalist finance-capitalist dystopia. Atomization. Alienation.

We need a social-national revolution, a reset of our society, and a “revaluation of all values”.

Also, as Lenin said, “a revolution without firing squads is not worth much“.

There would be little need for new hospitals, schools or —a fortiori!— prisons without the continuing migration-invasion, and births to non-white women (and to stupid white women impregnated by blacks).

Let that sink in. The Treasury, of all departments, scrapped numerical reasoning tests because blacks, especially (even “graduate” blacks, whatever the term “graduate” now means or implies) were too stupid to pass them…

This country is so screwed, it is sometimes hard to believe.

[“The British people are about to be screwed.

Labour is now openly working with international organisations like the European Convention on Human Rights, the United Nations Refugee Agency, & global multinationals, universities, & self-anointed ‘community groups’ to flood Britain with yet more migrants and refugees while forcing the British people to pay for it.

This is all in the detail of the latest plans.

What you see is not an attempt to ’empower’ the British people. Quite the opposite. It is to transfer power AWAY from the people to distant, unaccountable organisations that exist beyond the realm of our national democracy and to then use these to dramatically increase the number of refugees, asylum-seekers & immigrants coming into Britain.

Even worse, Labour is now doing this despite having failed to stop the boats, fix the borders, and restore any sense of public confidence and trust in the system.

They are now also rapidly backtracking on other plans to tighten up indefinite leave to remain, happily handing the British people a bill of some £600 billion that will be left by giving millions of low-wage Boriswave migrants the right to stay in Britain forever, despite the British people voting for the very opposite of this, in 2019.

Labour say we need more safe and legal routes to help stop illegal migration but this is bonkers. We gave 5 million people legal routes into Britain during the Boriswave and yet another 200,000 illegals still came into the country. Wake up, folks.

The end result, I fear, will be total chaos, accelerating demographic change, instability, and the further erosion of public trust in politics and even democracy itself.

Nobody voted for this. Nobody asked for this. And only a very few fanatics in Labour & the Greens want this.

The only good news is that by veering sharply to the left on immigration and asylum, and by completely giving up on any claim to represent the British people, there will now be enormous space in British politics for a party to connect with the decent majority of hardworking Brits who have had enough of the constant gaslighting and lying in Westminster, and had enough of being treated like second-class citizens in their own country.

And Reform UK will fill this space.

We will speak up for the broad coalition of decent Brits who can now sense and see that they are being completely screwed over, and who know there is nothing “fair” about constantly putting the rest of the world ahead of your own taxpaying citizens.”]

“...about to be screwed“, Goodwin?! Ha ha… There’s no “about” about it! “screwed more“, you mean …

Neither Reform nor Restore will start shooting enemies of the people. Neither Reform nor Restore will start getting rid of non-Europeans from the UK in any numbers sufficient to make a difference.

I have been blogging for 3-4 years about how Labour would pretend to “stop the boats” simply by rubberstamping the applications of millions of blacks and browns to come here on various pretexts: “asylum”, “fiances”/”spouses”, “family members”, “students”, “work visas” etc.

As it is, something like 80% of asylum applicants are already allowed to stay, either straight off or on appeal.

Labour also “promised” to end the use of hotels to house migrant invaders. Yes, and as I foresaw years ago, they are doing it by giving the bastards homes that should be going to British people. Either social housing or privately-rented housing.

The policeman is wearing Polish uniform, though.

[Ah, mystery solved: the detained Ukrainian is indeed in Poland, and the Polish authorities are refusing to extradite him to Germany].

True, but it is also true that, if social media (or any online presence) is all you have, then the enemies of the future of Europe can reduce you to virtual isolation by taking away those online accounts. Anything online cannot exist alone. The “real world” matters.

I agree with part, not the whole.

  1. Uncontrolled migration— yes, of course.

  2. Russia— no. Russia is only a potential enemy because those in charge of Britain and those who own Britain have s**t on Russia for nearly 40 years. Ukraine is not our business. Nothing to do with us. Same goes for the Baltic. Russia has no intention of invading Western Europe, still less the UK. Stop poking the Bear.
  3. China— China is a growing regional and world power, but is far away, and its threat to the UK consists mainly in the number of actual Chinese coming to live in the UK, so refer to point “1”…;
  4. Islamists— yes, a threat, but relatively minor on the strategic level, and would be no threat at all were there few or no non-whites (in this case, Muslim non-whites) in the UK, so again refer back to point “1”;
  5. Collapse of social structure, notably the middle classes— yes. Division of society into a few ultra-wealthy (with a larger cohort of the merely wealthy/very wealthy), and the rest forming a huge and (in varying degrees) downtrodden mass.

…and look at that dishonest minder or assistant, as well. He really is both brainwashed (or pretending to be) and brainwashing (intent or facade).

Burnham is a disaster; only idiots will want him to be Prime Minister but, sadly, there are plenty of them around…

Also, note that unthinking and tribal old Labourite drone at the end.

They are not only enemies of the people, but also completely deluded.

Of course, 12 miles is next to nothing in a country larger than France and 2.5x the size of the UK, but Russian troops are —albeit very slowly— advancing in all or almost all areas, and have been for a long time now.

Still, Russia now needs a gamechanger that will shock both the Kiev regime and the general world.

In fact, slightly out of date, I think, but broadly correct.

The photo, though, shows Richard Tice, the Reform UK MP who is completely in the Jew/Zionist/Israel pocket.

In the past, some journalists have been exposed as actual MOSSAD agents. Sunday Telegraph scribbler and editor Dominic Lawson, Daily Mirror scribblers in the 1970s and 1980s etc.

Interesting article from Declassified UK about the Jewish/Israel lobby inside Labour.

I think that it is clear that Morgan McSweeney is, or was, an agent of MOSSAD or some other organ of Israeli Intelligence.

[McSweeney at Zurich Airport earlier this month. What was he doing there? Meeting his handlers there, or in some other country? Accessing secret funds? I do not know. Looking at him, you would never guess that he is or was a significant political figure, albeit behind the scenes. Maybe he was trained that way.]

Typical uncaring cowardly bully-n*g. Many of them only understand force and brute strength. When they are faced with that, they knuckle down or run away quickly enough.

Such untermenschen not only could never create a civilization, and cannot maintain one already in existence (created by white Europeans), but also cannot even live decently —even as total parasites— in one already created by those white Europeans (British or others). At best, parasites (most of them, most of the time), more usually also enemy elements, hostile to the (real) British whom they hate, and they hate us because we are better than them (99% of the time).

That one will enjoy humiliating an old white/British lady, because she cannot fight back. The untermensch needs to be taught a lesson he will never forget.

The Daily Mail, of course, fails to mention that the perpetrator is a black, but the readers’ comments make it clear that they know.

There is only a “housing crisis” because we have a demographic crisis, part of which is a migration-invasion crisis and part of which is a general non-white-population crisis (which itself is a delayed consequence of the migration invasion, going back to the Windrush-era catastrophe).

Add to that the arrests of non-whites (and so-called “travellers”, i.e. Irish tinker-types) with British passports. Huge. The prison population is now largely non-white.

[“It was a time when we were going on the assault & none of us knew if we would return. Every step beyond the perimeter was a step into complete uncertainty. A single thought pulsed in my head: ‘Everything could end here & now’. The outcome of the battle was always shrouded in fog, but we went forward. Assault after assault, step by step — Special Forces ‘Akhmat’ didn’t just hold their positions, they relentlessly moved forward. There were commanders nearby, & comrades at our backs. The tasks had to be carried out at any cost: that’s what our conscience dictated, that’s what a man’s duty demanded.

The hardest time came not in the battle, but immediately after. I remember those moments: we’re sitting in the back of a Kamaz truck, returning from another mission. The road is bumpy, the vehicle shakes, but there’s a deafening silence inside. Everyone is silent. It’s not just physical exhaustion, although it was incredible, leaden. We were silent from the terrible memories that were only 40 minutes old. Someone had just lost their best friend in that thicket or in that ruined house — forever. Someone had seen things that would never appear in a nightmare. Everyone was immersed in their own pain, reliving those 40 minutes & tomorrow, at dawn, we’d go back into that hell to drive out the evil again.

Sometimes I review old footage on my phone. Here’s my brother ‘Black’ — he’s still alive here, smiling. Here’s our commander ‘Tarzan’ standing nearby, confident & calm. ‘Romka’, ‘Gulema’… I had the great honor of serving with real Heroes. These people have forever remained in my heart, their names etched into my memory. The places we took by storm are also engraved in my memory: the children’s camp turned into a fortress by the enemy, ‘Post Office’, the industrial zone, the ‘nameless’ villages and cities. All of this is our blood & our history. I remember how, waiting for the breakthrough, I looked around and thought: what have they done to this land? Nature seemed to have been killed, burned to the ground. It was as if the very spirit of life had left these places. Watching the video where our brother ‘Kavkaz’ is still alive, I ask myself the same question: ‘How come? Why do the best always go first?’. I miss the guys so much that it sometimes takes my breath away. On this series of battles, there was a man who became our anchor. Ismail Suleimanovich (call sign ‘Hunter’) was my first commander. We met in 2022 & he quickly became much more to me than a senior in rank. If you ask me who he is to me, I’ll answer: he’s a brother & a father.

Our journey began with the assault on Rubizhnoye. My first command mission ‘behind the line’ & I immediately ended up in ‘Hunter’s team’. You know, there are those who fight on a map in a cozy headquarters & there are those who are always in the forefront. ‘Hunter’ was one of the latter. His orders were always clear & precise, like a shot.

When we stormed Soledar, he didn’t wait for reports in the rear. We went into the city with BATA… I saw him raise our flag over the liberated city. Under his command, we stormed Soledar. I’ll tell my children &0 grandchildren about him. About a man who taught us to win and to remain human Fighter ‘Yakut’.From the book ‘Memories of commanders & fighters ‘Akhmat’’.

Recently, a very warm meeting took place in Grozny: fighter with the call sign ‘Yakut’ visited his commander — ‘Hunter’. Special Forces ‘Akhmat’ — is a unique combat brotherhood, where the relationship between the commander & the fighter goes far beyond the charter. It’s more than a family. ‘Yakut’ is a soldier of SF ‘Akhmat’ in every cell of his body & entire essence The book describes the most difficult battles, in which ‘Yakut’ & his combat brothers, in the thick of the action, wrested every piece of land from the enemy. These stories are written in blood & sweat & they literally give you goosebumps. Such meetings in the rear prove: the fire of the front, passed together, binds people forever.“]

Such barbarians have no place in Europe. Untermenschen. Put him and others up against a wall.

[“A century ago, one in every four big trees in the eastern forests of America was a chestnut, and every autumn the country under them ate for free.

The American chestnut was a giant, a hundred feet tall, and there were close to four billion of them from Maine to the Deep South. Each autumn they dropped a carpet of sweet nuts so thick you raked it up by the sackful. Families roasted them all winter. Hogs and cattle were turned loose in the woods to fatten on them for nothing. Turkey, deer and bear lived off the same mast. The timber, straight and rot-proof, built the barns, the fence posts and the furniture. One tree fed the people, fattened the livestock, carried the wildlife through winter, then built the house.

Then in 1904 a blight arrived on imported Asian chestnut stock, spotted first on the trees at the Bronx Zoo. It moved through the forest at fifty miles a year, and by the 1940s it had killed close to four billion trees, nearly every mature chestnut on the continent. One of the worst ecological catastrophes in the country’s history.

Here is the part that should stop you. The tree is not quite dead. The old roots still send up shoots, year after year, that the blight cuts down before they grow tall enough to fruit. A century on, the stumps are still trying, and still failing.

A free harvest that fed a continent every autumn for thousands of years, gone in forty, and still reaching for a sky it will never reach again.”]

Sounds as though there is hope, at least.

Refers to senior Labour Friends of Israel drone, James Purnell, being appointed as Burnham’s Chief of Staff.

Purnell is a horrible careerist, entirely in the Jewish/Israeli pocket. Pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby, anti-Welfare State, anti any privileges for pensioners, pro- finance capitalism, and pro-globalism. An outright enemy of the people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Purnell

Well, the clearest signal yet that the Burnham regime will be along the same basic lines as the Starmer regime.

Pretty obvious what his proclivities are (likely to be)…

[“Here are three seemingly separate stories you might have missed in the last week in the UK that, taken together, reveal something far more profound.

First, it’s emerged that pro-immigration campaigners helped place and prepare illegal migrants in the audience on the BBC flagship debate programme, Question Time, to “test” pro-migration messages in front of the British people.

Second, it’s been revealed that a writer who helped craft storylines on the popular BBC primetime soap Eastenders is a “migration and racial justice” activist who works on “changing people’s views” through popular culture.

And third, it’s been revealed that the family of Rhiannon Whyte — a young mother who was stabbed to death by an illegal migrant from Sudan — was guided by state officials to “tone down” their statement after Rhiannon’s murder, because of fears it might cause unrest among the wider population.

Three seemingly different stories that involve three different institutions – the BBC, the creative industry, and the British state. What do they all have in common?

They all reflect the Narrative State — a state that no longer sees its main role as being to describe reality but present a warped version of reality that reflects and reinforces its dominant ideology.“]

We are going to need a lot of walls and squads…

[“Burnham’s allies have told the “i” newspaper he plans to water down Labour’s plans to reform ‘indefinite leave to remain’.

Reminder: many of those who are being given the right to remain are part of the disastrous Boriswave which nobody voted for.

It was an enormous betrayal of the British people.

Burnham’s allies talk about “fairness”.

But how is it “fair” to undercut British workers by importing 5 million mainly low-wage, low-skill, non-European workers into the country and then forcing the British people to cover the cost?

And how is it fair to demand the British people stump up an estimated £600 BILLION for a policy they never asked for?

It’s not.

As usual with Labour:

It’s immigrants first.

British workers second.”]

So it begins.

If mass deportations are not “realistic” (but who decides what is “realistic”?), then the problem will have to be dealt with in other ways. Sterilization, for a start. Other solutions beyond that.

Rupert Lowe has his points but has not the consistent sound ideology, nor the wide and deep education, to be a real national leader.

For a long time, the French have indulged in a favourite socio-cultural fantasy, i.e. that if a non-European is born in France, or even just arrives, he or she either is, or can become, “French”, especially if processed through the French school system. Sadly misguided.

Wall. Squad. End.

In the absence of elimination, or mass deportation, sterilization is the only way to go.

You only have to consider that, under both Sunak and Starmer, Israeli flags in light were projected onto the facade of 10 Downing Street, and Jewish candlesticks were placed in a window.

Look at what Mark Carney has supported: the Gaza genocide by Israeli Jews, Israel generally, the “Covid” panicdemic/scamdemic “measures” and “vaccines”, and the brutal and corrupt regime in Kiev.

I believe that Carney is part- (((you-know-who))) anyway.

[“The truth: the choreography is the confession.

Prime Minister Andy will kick off with the polite little pantomime at Buckingham Palace, constitutional cosplay for the cameras, king playing his assigned role as ceremonial mascot.

Then the mask’ll drop and the real masters get their audience:

First, Zelensky—to lock in Britain’s blank-cheque loyalty to the Ukrainian meat grinder and the Atlanticist death cult that feeds it.

Then von der Leyen—to genuflect before the Brussels bureaucracy, that rotting late-imperial corpse still twitching with regulatory power.

Then dinner with the hedge-fund crowd — the people whose debt-based capital actually moves the needle while your ballot paper gathers dust.

Only after paying proper obeisance will he deign to lecture the British public about net zero, the greatest corporate wealth transfer ever dressed up as planetary salvation.

This is shareholder democracy working exactly as designed. You are not the principal. You are a minor stakeholder with diminishing returns.

The sophisticated machinery of polling, micro-targeting, narrative management and behavioural nudges exists to keep you compliant and distracted. Fail the real principals—the money, the alliances, the permanent bureaucracy—and the consequences are swift and brutal.

Fail the voters? Just tweak the script and roll out a new slogan. 250k raped girls? Deny. Lost control of borders? Ignore. If caught, point finger and scream racist like Donald Sutherland in The Body Snatchers.

The order of Andy’s first meetings will tell you everything an election-night victory speech never will. Voters give Legitimacy, that’s the idea, not the reality anymore but it is still the script that’s followed. Performance.

The others give Power. And in the chasm between those two things sits the brutal reality of modern governance.

You are a serf who’s been handed a smartphone and told you’re free. Your ancestors clawed their way out of this condition. You’re being slicked and bullied back into it, with the cheerful assurance that your rootless, broke, unsafe grandchildren will foot the bill and curse your name.

“Caesar’s chariot has arrived!“

The more I see, not so much of Burnham himself but more of the hysterical adulation around him and focussed on him, the more I think that his tenure in office will be disastrous, even if it lasts for the full 3+ years until a 2029 General Election.

As for the BBC and Sky wasting large amounts of money on helicopters to follow “Caesar’s” train (“royal train”? or “imperial train”?) and then taxi, that just underlines what a sycophantic propaganda Schauspiel those msm outlets now are.

I have to admit that, on me at least, the general msm lauding to the skies of the new Labour “Caesar from the North” is having an effect opposite to what is obviously intended. I now start to dislike Burnham, those around him, and those praising him.

I note that (as it seems) Burnham is praised for having taken buses and trams (back) into public ownership in Manchester, and keeping fares stable. Yes? What else? Is that it? Underwhelming, in a world (and a UK) with massive challenges on every front.

[“Nick Griffin was prosecuted and branded a racist for warning about organized grooming gangs raping British girls more than twenty years ago.

His past as a far-right nationalist made him an easy target to dismiss.
The political class and media had no interest in hearing it.
Neither did the people.

Independent inquiries into Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford and other towns later confirmed the scale of the abuse where thousands of children had been systematically groomed and raped while police and councils failed to act, partly paralyzed by fear of racism accusations.

The messenger was destroyed. The message never went through. The victims paid the price.

But like him or not, he was right.”]

The whites of South Africa were mad to give up power to corrupt and incompetent blacks. That ethno-community is a very positive sign, but may have to fight for survival in the end.

As a matter of fact, I tipped Burnham as future Labour leader on my then Twitter account as long ago as 2010, and again in 2015 (I was expelled from Twitter at the behest of a pack of Jews in 2018) . At the time, I regarded Burnham as the best of the very poor bunch vying for the position. That is still my view. He is not much good, and his colleagues are worse.

Anyone from 1966 returning to the UK in 2026 would scarcely believe it to be the same country.

Reform UK is not “extreme” (social-national) enough. Not at all.

Israel is deliberately sabotaging the ceasefire agreement.

God, how absolutely ridiculous.

[“When bees can’t eliminate a threat, they render it harmless and neutralize it.

Sometimes a mouse will enter a hive, attracted by the warmth and the smell of honey. The bees will then attack it as a group until they neutralize the intruder. But there’s a problem: the body is too heavy to be carried out of the hive.

And that’s where one of the most fascinating behaviors in the animal kingdom comes in.

To prevent the carcass from decomposing and contaminating the entire colony, the bees completely cover it with propolis, a natural resin they collect from trees. This substance has powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Little by little, the body dries out, is preserved, and becomes completely harmless to the hive.

This phenomenon, observed by scientists and beekeepers, is considered one of the most impressive examples of collective hygiene in social insects.“]

The inherent wisdom of Nature.

“Legacy“? The bastard thinks that he has a “legacy” (in any but the most negative sense)? The self-delusion of Starmer-stein may be scarcely unique in System politics, but is still striking.

Migration-invasion and globalist economics…

As blogged not long ago, the die is now cast.

A major war in Western and Central Europe must be avoided at all costs. However, if the NWO/ZOG cabals trigger such a war, and if the British people or part of them survive, that might be an opportunity to remove and eliminate System people and parties, and non-European parasites and predators, and then to create, down the line, something new and free.

Final stray thought

A while ago, I blogged to the effect that Trump said one thing one day, another —and contradictory— thing the next. Well, Trump now says several contradictory things within a single day. This is no terribly clever negotiating tactic; it becomes just totally mad.

Makerfield by-election

Well, Burnham won. Not unexpected. The msm is going mad with this supposed great turning-point etc. Rather overblown, as is their contention that all Labour (or both of the main System parties) needed to do was to change horses, and both Reform and Restore would be left behind.

Not quite. At the 2024 General Election, Labour scored 45.2% at Makerfield, and Reform UK scored 31.8%. At the 2026 by-election, the Labour vote was 54.8%, so higher but not stunningly so, and the Reform vote was 34.5%, also higher than in 2024, despite the challenge from Restore Britain (6.8%) which did not exist in 2024.

While Reform and Restore together scored well below Labour’s vote, that combined vote still added up to 41.3%; quite respectable. Over 41% of the total of eligible voters did not vote at all, a sign that many are either apathetic or more radical than Reform and Restore.

Prior to the vote, enemy of the people Lisa Nandy made some foolish comment that “about 6% or 7%” of the Makerfield electorate were “racists” who would vote for any anti-immigration party. 6% or 7%. Now see the combined Reform/Restore vote— over 41%.

I think that several factors contributed to Burnham’s win. The split Reform/Restore was one. True, the two parties still scored a total below that of Burnham-Labour, but that might not have been the case had only one party stood.

Then there is the hullabaloo and msm reportage about how Burnham would unseat the hated Starmer-stein, and about Burnham’s supposed more radical and/or active ideas to improve life in the North of England. Unconvincing to me, but apparently not to many Northern English voters.

The other interesting parts of the by-election result were the poor showings of the Conservatives and LibDems.

The Conservatives scored only 2.2% at the by-election, and lost their deposit. In 2024, their vote had been 10.9%, and in 2019, 34.4%.

The LibDems scored only 0.4% at the by-election (a mere 163 votes) as against 6.8% in 2024.

An indication of how far the credibility of both parties, Con and LibDem, has fallen in parts of the country.

The so-called “vaccines” have done huge and hugely underreported damage to millions.

The growing anger and frustration of the British people may be expressed, by 2029, in Parliamentary form, or in some other form(s).

I remain far from convinced that the “our Andy” show (complete with “our communities” and “our NHS“) will travel well anywhere very far south (or north, or east) of Manchester.

I saw a minute of so, on BBC TV News, of Burnham speaking today. He wants to “re-industrialise the North (of England)” (how? has he never heard of China?) and spread much money here and there. For me, not at all convincing or even interesting.

The Irish “tinker” or “traveller” element is also, of course, notorious for such activity. Others too.

I can recall, from when I was staying in some hotel on the Corniche in Alexandria (Egypt) in 1998, looking from my balcony and noticing an obviously wealthy Egyptian family in a large Mercedes stop, and a little girl, obviously instructed to do so, exit from the vehicle with all their fast food boxes and paper bags, and simply dump them over the parapet into the beautiful blue sea of the Eastern Harbour, which sea once would have been seen by Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus, not to mention Churchill and others.

[“If anyone doubts the power of community action over the @EnvAgency’s spineless inertia, you can walk to the outskirts of Ilford & walk along an ancient lost river to see for yourself.

With 10 days of intense effort by dedicated volunteers, the river River Roding Trust managed to clean up & restore 250 metres of the Aldersbrook (about 1/3 of the brook). This allows a direct comparison between the parts of the brook we restored & those we haven’t got round to yet.

These photos & videos are all from May 2026. The first is on a part of the Aldersbrook still to be restored & shows the old flood defences which are no longer needed & are killing the river but which the EA won’t remove unless we volunteers pay them £50,000 just for surveys.

These defences have caused 2-3ft of stinking sludge & silt to build up over 70 years, such that the water in the brook is just a few centimetres deep. Combine with huge amounts of rubbish & and out of control knotweed infestation & the river ecosystem is essentially dead.

A river that is older than England destroyed by official indifference.

A hundred metres away, and it’s a different story. The rubbish & the invasive species (I sprayed the knotweed myself last autumn) are gone. The silt that used to clog the river is now spread on the banks & rapidly providing fertile ground for native plants. Instead of sludge, there’s 2-3ft of water, so fish have returned to the brook for the first time in decades, along with dragon flies, herons & a nesting moorhen.

We river guardians knew our intervention would make a difference, but have been shocked at quite how quickly nature has come back. The restored Aldersbrook is now a rare jewel: pretty much the last fully natural tidal brook in London. The EA now has a choice. It can salvage some good from this situation & work with us to restore the remaining sections of the brook, or it can continue to do nothing. If the latter, river guardians *will* be back this winter to finish the job & the EA can see how well prosecuting volunteers for restoring a river without permission goes for them.“]

Bravo.

[“Around the country, a huge tree planting programme of our most important native tree is underway. But no bureaucrat decreed it in a policy paper, & it relies on no government funding. This mass planting is being carried out by nature herself.

2025 was a ‘mast year’ for acorns. In order to have the best chance of reproducing, some trees like oaks all produce a huge amount of acorns in the same year. This sheer abundance overwhelms creatures like squirrels that snack on the nuts, as they simply can’t eat them all.

Now, in woodlands & fields across the country, we see the results of this self-directed tree planting. Huge carpets of baby oaks that in some places are so thick they look like a grassy green lawn. I’ve honestly never seen so many oak saplings in my lifetime & this scene is all the more incredible given the oaks somehow knew to coordinate their reproduction like this.

Although this planting effort is natural, there are some things that humans can do to help. As self-sown oaks are usually significantly more vigorous & healthy than nursery grown saplings, encouraging these oaks will likely lead to much better trees than through planting.

What you can do depends on the local circumstances. Sometimes they can just be left to their own devices. If they have sown themselves in a area of high footfall, consider putting rocks or logs round them to stop trampling. If they are in an area with lots of deer, consider putting tree protectors round them, or fencing off areas of them. If we have a dry spell, watering your chosen oaks might help them through the dry patch. In choosing which of the many oaks out there you want to support, concentrate on those outside of the canopy of existing trees, where they will get light (the saplings under the shade of existing oaks are unlikely to make it long-term). You could also consider giving them light by removing invasive species (like rhododendron) or cutting back less ecologically useful trees (like sycamore), or potentially scrub (if there are no deer about) that are covering the baby oaks.

With a little bit of care, you could be helping to nurture a tree that will last for 500 years or more!“]
