Well, this week 8/10, as against the 4.5/10 claimed by political journalist John Rentoul. I admit I was not completely sure about question 8. I did not know the answers to questions 1 and 2.

The corruption of the Kiev regime yet again exposed

Hungary seizes millions of euros in cash and gold from Ukrainian convoy.

Seven Ukrainians arrested and money-laundering investigation launched in latest spat between Kyiv and Budapest.

Hungary seizes millions of euros in cash and gold from Ukrainian convoy

Seven Ukrainians arrested and money-laundering investigation launched in latest spat between Kyiv and Budapest.

An increasingly acrimonious spat between Hungary and Ukraine has escalated further, as Budapest impounded two Ukrainian armoured bank vehicles carrying millions of euros of hard cash as well as bars of gold.

Seven Ukrainian citizens accompanying the convoy were also arrested. Hungarian officials said the detained Ukrainians had intelligence links and suggested the money could be of dubious origin, while Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, accused Budapest of “taking hostages and stealing money”.

Hungary’s national tax and customs administration said it had opened a money-laundering investigation over the shipment, which it said was made up of $40m and €35m in cash, as well as 9kg of gold. It said one of those arrested was “a former Ukrainian intelligence service general”.

Oschadbank, Ukraine’s state savings bank, said its staff were transporting cash and gold between between Austria and Ukraine in a “routine trip”, carried out by land because of restrictions on air travel in Ukraine.

But Orbán’s political director, Balázs Orbán, cast doubt on the shipment: “Armoured vehicles full of cash and gold moving across Hungary is not how legitimate financial transactions usually work,” he wrote on X. “The real question is simple: who stands behind this money and what is it meant to finance?”

Quite late. I had one from 1993, the first a very heavy Motorola flip-phone, almost the size of a brick, and almost as heavy. Worked well, though. I have no reason to have a mobile telephone now, so do not have one; in fact, I positively avoid the bloody things.

Ha…

How is that Iran war going, Trump? (Strait of Hormuz blocked…).

Russia must defeat the Kiev regime before 2029.

Don’t forget Dimona.

In any case, and regardless of presumed intentions, Iran has no means of attacking the continental USA.

I notice that the usual Jewish-influenced msm talking-heads and scribblers in the UK are talking up “Iranian attack on UK” plans (non-existent, in reality), just as happened c.25 years ago re. Iraq.

Starmer’s “finest hour“? Ha. I have little time for Churchill’s policies, but the man was a titan by comparison.

Blair was “America’s poodle” in his day. The part-Jew, David Cameron-Levita, was a joke, trying to be a “war leader” along with sleazy corrupt half-Jew Sarkozy, and of course their Libyan misadventure has led at appalling results both in Libya itself and (via migration-invasion) across Europe.

Since then, of course, part-Jew “Boris” Johnson has tried on the mantle of “war leader” (in respect of Ukraine). Even Liz Truss, in her brief and utterly ludicrous weeks both as Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister, tried to do it. Now Starmer?! This was already a joke, already a bad joke, but now becomes farcical.

You read it here first…

[the cat in the Kremlin]

Ha. Trump is fatally naive for an executive head of state.

The Iranian leadership has not stopped rocketing nearby Arab countries because of the American and Israeli attacks on Iran. Iran has stopped attacking places such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Qatar etc because the limited attacks that have taken place in those mini-states have already accomplished their purposes.

Look at what a relatively small number of drones and even fewer missiles have accomplished. Dubai’s status as a tourist-friendly, expat-friendly holiday and business destination is totally trashed. Now it looks dangerous (even though it is not, not much anyway), repressive (the wrong social media posts can get you locked up and also fined up to £200,000), and a terrible place to invest (your house or flat may be hit by war, and real property values are dropping through the floor). A basic message of uncertainty and lack of safety.

Fancy buying a flat in Dubai? Or having a holiday there? No, thought not.

Same is true, mutatis mutandis, of the other Gulf states.

Then there is the disruption to most international long-haul air routes.

Then, also, the Strait of Hormuz is closed to oil tankers unless the Iranian authorities give permission (as they did to a Russian tanker a day or two ago). Massive Iranian victory. The West may only be losing access to about 20% or so of the world’s oil, but that has been enough to put up prices, and to damage the economies of many countries.

All that from a few missiles and drones.

Don’t underestimate Iranian subtlety, when deployed.

Yet again, you read it here first.

That photograph is about 15 years old . “Mark Lewis Lawyer” is now largely wheelchair-bound, cannot walk, and is afflicted both physically and mentally.

According to Google AI: 

Mark Lewis is reportedly under a new investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). This investigation concerns allegations that he disclosed a private home address to a client and subsequently made false statements to the regulator. 

SubstackSubstack

Current Investigation (Active 2025–2026)

  • Allegations: The probe focuses on whether Lewis disclosed the home address of a litigant, James Wilson, to his client (the late Dr Peter Newbon) in 2020 despite being asked not to.
  • Integrity Issues: The SRA is also investigating whether Lewis misled the regulator by denying the disclosure during an initial inquiry.
  • Procedural Status: After an initial decision not to proceed, the SRA reopened the investigation in November 2025 following the emergence of new evidence and the threat of a judicial review. The case remains ongoing.”

Goodbyee, Don’t cryee“…

That Jewish woman is head of “UK Lawyers for Israel”, or “UKLFI”, the pack of Jews that had me disbarred (wrongfully and unlawfully — the Bar Standards Board later admitted it) in 2016. (I think that that was before Ms. Hausdorff headed the “UKLFI”, though).

Washed-up, dishonest and incompetent solicitor, Mark Lewis, is or was )(I think still is) a leading member of both the “UKLFI” and the “CAA” (“Campaign Against Antisemitism”).

The abuse of Newbon’s widow (abusive Newbon having killed himself rather than face the music) would not have troubled Lewis, of course. He was mentally and physically abusive to both his first wife and his second wife (that latter was one-time “Z-list” “celebrity” Caroline Feraday who, briefly, read the news on TV and local radio in the UK (about 25 years or more ago). His second marriage lasted only one year.

I cannot comment on Lewis’s third marriage, to Israel fanatic Mandy Blumenthal. Of course, Lewis is a physical wreck now anyway.

Talking about Jews and Israel…

[“Trump just called Tucker Carlson crazy for talking about the Jewish Chabad mafia. Get a load of this:

On July 8 this year, after Operation Rising Lion, the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, Netanyahu brought Trump two gifts. The first was a mezuzah case made from Iranian missile shrapnel shaped like a B-2 bomber. Cool, a sacred Jewish war relic. No big deal. Desert war cult religions have war cult stuff. No big deal. Jews being Jews.

The second was a dollar bill that the Chabad Messiah, Rabbi Schneerson (the one Tucker was talking about), had given to someone (like it was Lincoln’s last turd, or John Lenin’s eyeglasses, or St. Peter’s sweaty handkerchief), and eventually wound up in Netanyahu’s possession. I’d bet it was just a random dollar and Netanyahu was only fooling the big, dumb goy, but whatever.

Netanyahu put it in an engraved leather case and handed it to Trump as a ceremonial war gift with deep personal meaning. Before he ran for President, Kushner led Trump to the Chabad Messiah’s grave to pray for his campaign’s success (Ben Shapiro says this is when – and why – his campaign was successful).

The Chabad believe Schneerson will rise from the dead, and others believe he never died and was beamed up to Heaven like Elijah, but that his tomb in Queens, NY is still a sacred place to have your prayers answered. THIS is who Tucker was talking about.

When Trump calls Tucker crazy, it’s gaslighting. POTUS literally made a pilgrimage to the Messiah’s monument/grave and has his lucky war dollar in his pocket (or somewhere). This is the Jewish Messiah that Jimmy Carter issued a declaration honoring in 1977, and George H.W. Bush signed a law designating each year on his birthday in 1991. Each president since has issued an annual proclamation to celebrate him. Why don’t YOU know this? That shows its power, which is held simultaneously in broad daylight and in the dark.

Chabad-Lubavitch has 5,500 outposts around the world and has more political power than both American evangelicals and Catholics combined. They own the TV station that made Zelenskyy famous and, eventually, the president of Ukraine. His is THEIR man.

Or how about Javier Milei of Argentina? He’s visited the Messiah’s grave in Queens FOUR TIMES. When he met Netanyahu, he brought a painting of Netanyahu and Scheerson meeting in 1984. He’s said he’s converting to Judaism under Chabad influence. Chabad owns the heads of state all around the world. Wake the hell up.

Tucker’s not crazy. He’s telling the truth. If you’re going to be slaves, at least learn your masters’ names.“]

[crazed Argentine President Milei, not a Jew yet a philo-Semite, having some kind of “Jerusalem Syndrome” breakdown at the “Wailing Wall”. Mad as a hatter…]

Would translate to a Commons with 345 Reform UK MPs (solid majority), 110 Greens (official Opposition), 59 LibDems, 56 Cons, 45 SNP, and 11 Lab [etc].

On those figures Starmer-stein would himself, and once again (as in several recent opinion polls), lose his seat.

Quite. Let’s just say that there is a well-embedded “fifth column” in this country, especially well-embedded in the Press, in TV and radio, in finance and law etc… you get the picture…

Quite. Reform UK has become just another System party. It is under the same alien (((control)) as Lab and Con. Best scenario: Reform (and now alongside the Greens) destroys the Lab and Con parties, goes on to fail in government, and is then itself destroyed by social national forces.

Utter puppet of a foreign power— Israel.

OK, but there is little point opposing Israel overseas if you allow the Israeli “fifth column” within the US to dictate societal norms.

I suppose that he means “ordnance“…

Turning it around, though, maybe the ultimate strategy is precisely to create chaos, civil war, banditry, the collapse of state institutions etc in the Middle East. That way, Israel (which of course is in the driving seat, manipulating Trump, the USA, European powers etc either directly or via the global Jewish lobby), does not have to face any organized state on its borders or in the wider region.

Quite right in the obvious sense, but that diplomat [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Lyall_Grant] left out the less-obvious winner— Russia.

Oil price skyrocketing (Russia of course being a major producer), and Putin able to sit back and play the “wise international statesman” role as the USA flounders and is seen as under the control of Israel and its many well-embedded agents and agents of influence in the USA; also, American money and weapons being utilized in the Iran operation, rather than on propping up the Zelensky dictatorship in Ukraine, where the Kiev-regime’s front lines are crumbling.

[the cat in the Kremlin]

All the Russians have to do is watch and wait.

The USA has enormous military-destructive power but —unlike a true empire— seems incapable of creating a new and stable geopolitical order (cf. Alexander the Great and later extra-Greece Hellenism, Rome and the Roman Empire, Byzantium, the Ottomans, the Mughals, the British Empire, Napoleon and —had he lived longer and triumphed in the 1940s— Hitler).

Trump remains how I described him in 2016 (when I still had a Twitter account), “a noisily squawking parrot in a gilded cage, surrounded by a phalanx of Jews“.

Translates into a Commons with about 374 Reform UK MPs (strong majority), 65 LibDems (very weak official Opposition), 57 Greens, 55 Cons, 45 SNP, 28 Lab [etc].

Labour’s problem is that it is (correctly) seen by the Muslims especially as a Labour Friends of Israel government, and by most of the white English/British voters as (also) being a party for the “blacks and browns”, and some of the public service workers. The days when Labour was (as the guitarist Brian May commented on TV about 10-15 years ago) “the party of the working man” disappeared (as May also noted) about 25, if not 30 years ago.

Hyperbole from the second tweeter, but many foreign doctors are not much good; that much is true.

Naturally, the UK should be recruiting, training, and employing BRITISH doctors and nurses.

There is the other point, that the foreign NHS imports often bring up to a dozen dependants with them, most of which will be a massive drain on the resources of the state, one way or another.

Good grief. If the UK were to leave NATO, stop being America’s poodle, and became more friendly to Russia, the Russians would sell us whatever we need at cost price.

…never seen a war launched without clear a political objective… or exit strategy...” Really? Where was that person when the USA and UK attacked Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya?

Russia must be loving this…

So nothing to do with missiles etc, just an act of war, thousands of miles from Iran.

As I have been predicting on the blog for a couple of years: the Starmer-stein government pretending to “stop the boats” while, in reality, allowing vast numbers of unwanted blacks and browns to flood into the UK “legally”.

Dan Hodges once again parroting the Israel-lobby line. We need no “defence” against Iran. So what if a crater was made in the ground in Cyprus?

Interesting that Restore Britain, something only just established, is already on 7%. To my mind, that indicates a definite shifting of the “Overton Window” to a more radical position than that taken by Reform UK.

According to Electoral Calculus, that poll would mean a Commons with about 299 Reform MPs (27 short of an overall majority), 110 Greens (official Opposition), 77 Cons, 62 LibDems, 45 SNP, and 30 Lab [etc].

On those figures (once again), Starmer would lose his seat.

(so much for their claims to be ancient, or to have any real connection to the Jews or Israelites mentioned in the Bible)…

Here’s how all Zionist arguments collapse upon the slightest examination: “We were here first”: no, the Canaanites were, and many Palestinians have Canaanite DNA (& Jewish DNA as well, per Ben Gurion himself). Now prove yourself each of you is a direct descendant of someone who inhabited this land!

“We’re returning to our homeland” so said the French & Italians in Libya & Algeria “we are returning to & recovering Roman lands.” “But the West Bank is ours b/c of the bible”, that’s not how international law works, its utmost principle is a prohibition on acquisition of territory by force; i.e. you can’t just steal land by conquest & military power anymore!

“God promised it to us”; a) good luck arguing this in court. B) then why did he take it away from you for 2000 years? “We had a Jewish kingdom on this land for about 250 years”: and Muslims have been sovereign on this land for 1400 years! Does Greece have a right today to occupy Turkey’s Istanbul/Constantinople b/c it was once part of the Byzantine empire?

“The world gave us Israel in 1947”: no they didn’t & they don’t have the right to! The UN then had only 57 members out of 193 member states today. Even then, & despite intense US/Zionist lobbying & intimidation, only 33 states voted for (mostly white) the Partition Plan as a proposal. The partition resolution was never voted on at the UN Security Council.

“But we were persecuted in Europe for centuries culminating with the Holocaust”: but why should I pay the price of European savagery & antisemitism?

“We have a right to return 2,000 years later”, then why doesn’t my grandma have that right only 76 years later?

That’s why no state has a “right to exist”. Because who/what gave them that right?

Despite all this, Palestinians unrequitedly recognised Israel over 3 decades ago, accepted its existence as a fait accompli, & accepted less than 22% of our homeland; & that is called today “Palestinian maximalism/rejectionism”, while Israel offering us caged bantustans worse than apartheid South Africa is call “a generous offer”!

[Ashkenazic Jews in Jerusalem, c. 1885. God’s sake! Just look at them!]

New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.

The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.

According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.

Could Starmer’s Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet be less competent?

It has already, after 6 months, got to the point where it is glaringly obvious that this fake “Labour” government has no more competence, indeed maybe even less, than had those of Sunak, Truss, “Boris”-idiot, May, and Cameron-Levita.

Interesting. The best aspect of that, were it to happen, would be the dismay amid the “woke” rabble of new Starmer-Labour MPs, over 150 of them, as they lose their seats and are forced to contemplate having to go back to doing mundane and probably badly-paid jobs again.

[American-oriented but still relevant to British socio-political attitudes]

Europe’s largest economies, from 1961 to 2024. Interesting to see how some of the countries have improved or downgraded. Turkey, in particular, registered growth in the mid-sections of the list; East Germany/DDR was fairly high until the 1980s, when it fell like a stone. West Germany was high, and indeed at the top even before it absorbed the Eastern part in the 1990s, and has been pre-eminent since then. The Soviet Union as a whole was the largest economy overall for some time, but fell back in the 1980s, after which Russia started to climb, despite missing the other former Soviet republics, and has for some time been one of the five strongest economies (overall), in the top five. The UK has been in the top five consistently.

Of course, were that graphic to be expressed per capita rather than in gross terms, the situation would look very different.

Even after the Art Deco era, America was pre-eminent in terms of confident presentation at least, until the 1960s. Look, e.g., at a film such as North by Northwest (1959), with its ambience of, inter alia, Modern Movement architecture, as well as, later in the film, the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright.

That refers to the egregiously poor, dishonest, and negligent behaviour exhibited by “Mark Lewis Lawyer”, who is now supposedly domiciled in Israel, though he seems to spend much of his time in the UK, either making money out of clients (who seem rather poorly served), or thinking up stunts to publicize “antisemitism” and at the same time make money out of possible “compensation” (as in the failed stunt at the Reginald D.

That idiot seriously thinks that Britain was “dominant“, internationally, about 24 years ago! What planet is he on? Britain was then not only within the trammels of the EU etc, but was the “poodle” of the then Bush jnr. administration in the United States.

It really is about time that the British people demanded a lot more from the “security and intelligence” bods, or just dumped them, or most of them.

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

What has weakened Britain has been a combination of the migration-invasion, together with the changing demographics of the UK, the sliding standards in all areas of society, cultural degeneration, and the domination of the UK’s government, political life, courts, policing and mass media, inter alia, by the Israel lobby. Oh, and the near-collapse and uselessness of our armed forces (etc).

The “CAA” cabal, effectively a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy in London, can be called (as blogged about in the past) a malicious little cabal. They threaten a lot, suborn police and CPS officials, are a damned nuisance, but accomplish little even by their own standards.

They should not, of course, be treated as a charity. For one thing, they are directly political; for another, the activity of the “CAA” exhibits no “public benefit”.

Is that true (about Myerson being a heavy drinker)? I have no idea, though if true it might partly explain his vituperative social media activity, which was at least part of the reason he was sacked (sub nomresigned”) as a Recorder earlier in 2024. He certainly seems to stay up late, tweeting. Drinking too? As I say, I have no idea.

Britain’s defence: big talk, with (regrettably) nothing much behind it

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10901775/Britains-armed-forces-weak-protect-nation-attack-says-former-head-Royal-Navy.html

As we know, the UK has been cutting defence for years, indeed decades. Large numbers of Army, RAF, and Royal Navy bases are now private housing tracts, and the graphic above makes clear how deep the cuts have been.

At the same time prime ministers of the UK have taken to talking big on defence and war. We have seen, for example, how David Cameron-Levita wanted to get rid of Gaddafi (or rather, the Israelis did, and “Scameron” was but one useful idiot there to do it). Disastrous, allowing millions of migrant-invaders to flood through Libya to Europe, apart from anything else. Leave that aside, though, and look at the forces used.

Even in 2011, British forces were actually incapable of launching an invasion of a state even as weak (beyond outward show) as Libya. They would have been unable to transport enough soldiers by air or even by sea, if they had enough front-line soldiers to transport in the first place.

Thus it was that Britain relied on French and Italian help to refuel the small RAF forces deployed, mostly bombers. The French Navy also had greater resources to deploy than the British.

In the end, as we know, rebel Libyan forces, semi-barbaric, overthrew Gaddafi, brutally killed him, and instituted a period of chaotic lawlessness which today, 11 years later, still reigns.

This is not an analysis of the results of the pathetic strategic ineptitude, but of the fact that Britain was weak in 2011; it is far weaker today. Still, it is worth just looking at the results of David Cameron-Levita-Schlumberger’s stupidity (though I am sure that his Israeli relatives and their government were pleased).

Migration-invasion through Libya to Europe; also, human rights abuses inside Libya, dwarfing those perpetrated by Gaddafi.

Environmental disaster too:

Libya was a pioneer state in North Africa in species protection, with the creation in 1975 of the El Kouf protected area. The fall of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime favoured intense poaching: “Before the fall of Gaddafi even hunting rifles were forbidden. But since 2011, poaching has been carried out with weapons of war and sophisticated vehicles in which one can find up to 200 gazelle heads killed by militiamen who hunt to pass the time. We are also witnessing the emergence of hunters with no connection to the tribes that traditionally practice hunting. They shoot everything they find, even during the breeding season. More than 500,000 birds are killed in this way each year, when protected areas have been seized by tribal chiefs who have appropriated them. The animals that used to live there have all disappeared, hunted when they are edible or released when they are not,” explains zoologist Khaled Ettaieb.” [Wikipedia]

What I find risible about Admiral Lord West’s Daily Mail article is that he (perhaps understandably) thinks in terms of fighting a seaborne or other invasion force, as in the days of the Armada, Napoleon, or the wars against Germany in the 20th Century, or conflicts such as that of the Falklands Campaign in which he himself served (the ship he commanded was sunk under him, he being the last to abandon the vessel). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_West,_Baron_West_of_Spithead.

For one thing, Britain now faces no threat of the traditional kind from any quarter. The expansionist Soviet Union ground to a halt in the 1980s, and was replaced in the 1990s by the present Russian Federation, which has no intention of occupying Central and Western Europe; moreover, it no longer has any ideology (akin to the old Marxism-Leninism) that might underpin such an intention or wish.

Likewise, I doubt that any serious person imagines that China has any intention of invading Western Europe, let alone the UK. Why would it? Anyway, remember the most famous words of Sun Tzu: “to win without war is the highest excellence” [Sun Tzu, The Art of War: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Tzu.

When we look at Western Europe, at the UK, do we see Chinese battle fleets or air fleets approaching? No, but we do see not only Chinese manufactured goods everywhere, but actual Chinese people everywhere. That process of gradual and peaceful colonization has increased in flow in recent years. “Boris-idiot” has even invited potentially millions of Hong Kong Chinese to settle in the UK, to add to the very large numbers already here.

Whatever may be said about all that, the fact is that the UK armed forces could not stop such migration-invasion. Au contraire, the modest Royal Navy forces available in the English Channel are actually helping the multikulti “dinghy people” or “RIB people” of many origins to cross over, land illegally, and then claim (usually bogus) “asylum” here.

The only country which has any desire to occupy Western Europe has, in effect, already done so. The USA has bases and personnel all over Europe, including the UK, and treats the UK more or less as a colony. However, Admiral Lord West’s suggested larger armed forces would be expected to work with those American occupation forces, not against them. Take another look at the graphic; the huge military power available to the USA’s leaders is inescapable.

Yet we see Boris-idiot vicariously fighting Russia by supplying arms and ammunition to the regime of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev. We see intellectually-challenged MPs such as Johnny Mercer crowing “bring it on” (war with Russia). Same with Ben Wallace, the current Defence Secretary. Both ex-officers, though not senior ones.

Here is another nitwit, the former Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Williamson#Defence_Secretary_(2017%E2%80%932019).

My assessment of Williamson, from 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/02/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-gavin-williamson-story/.

Williamson wanted both to cut defence spending and to challenge both Russia and China!

No, Lord West, the present and future battle for Britain lies within our own society, and will not be won (or lost) by the number of soldiers, battleships, or bombers that “we”, as a state, may possess.

Starmer is just a Jew-lobby puppet, little more. Better-put, a System puppet, which is pretty much (not exactly) the same thing. The System is suffused with both Zionism and freemasonry.

…except that the perpetrator then walked off, to repeat his crime tomorrow, or the day after…

Worth reading the whole thread.

There are two possibilities for the future of the UK, assuming that there is still a country and a population left at all: the first would be the mixed-race, decadent, hopeless swamp envisaged as “ideal” by Coudenhove-Kalergi , the other possibility to be part of a germinal European super-race, which can be the foundation for a quantum leap in evolution.

Incidentally, the Jewish influence on Wikipedia is very obvious when you look at a topic such as the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan. No objectivity.

In fact, re. the reality or otherwise of the Plan, you only have to look at what is happening in the world, and especially in Europe, to see the truth.

I was looking at the TV earlier. Almost every ad had a black man and a white woman, with (usually) mixed-race children. Not (yet) reflective of reality in the UK, but an attempt to normalize mixed-race families, mixed-race children. Aimed not at people of my age (65) but at —mainly— children, so that they grow up brainwashed into believing that a mixed-race society is not only worthwhile but the norm.

Simplistic, of course, but amusing.

A contrived society, which only exists because it is protected and fed US government money in vast amounts, as well as money that Jews send from all around the world.

…and every single day, hundreds cross the Channel illegally, not to mention the thousands coming in daily “legally”.

First, Steal A Chicken

This post is one in the line of reminiscences of my life at the English Bar. More exactly, it is another story of my days of pupillage (“on the job training”) as a newly-minted barrister in 1992-93, still under the control of a “pupilmaster” (though, as explained in other posts, my “pupilmaster” was in fact the same age as me, a consequence of my “rolling stone” or “wander-bird” youth). It tells the story of a fairly minor series of thefts, but at the same time says something about UK and even European society generally.

A timeworn joke says that the first line of an old Hungarian recipe for chicken goulash starts, “First, steal a chicken”…Well, in this story there was no chicken but what there was was an Arab Gypsy woman in East London who was expecting a baby. Well, a baby needs all kinds of things and especially clothing, so the family of that woman– a man, a boy of 14, the pregnant woman, our defendant (an exceptionally beautiful girl aged about 18 who was a cousin of the pregnant woman), and another woman– set out one fine morning to steal the requisites. Their chosen emporium was British Home Stores, Ilford, part of East London.

The aforesaid shopping expedition was initially successful, but came to an abrupt end when the “shoppers” were arrested by police as they were getting into their car, laden with their “acquisitions”. A woman store detective had noticed them and had alerted her colleagues and the police.

It is at this point that the story becomes interesting from the “crime and punishment” point of view. The man arrested was not charged, on the basis that he had not entered the store, not handled the goods and had not admitted knowing anything of the thefts. The 14 year old boy, having admitted acting as a look-out (a pretty poor one, as it turned out), received a police caution. The other women admitted theft in the magistrates’ court and were fined £50 each. So that left our defendant, who was called something like Maroush or Marousha.

Now it transpired that Maroush was also going to be sentenced for being part of a gang which had visited towns in Dorset and Somerset and had stolen quite large amounts from shops by distracting the cashiers while the tills were open (in fact, they could somehow get them open, silently and in seconds, even when the tills were closed). Maroush was a minor player in that game but would be sentenced with several others, they like her having pleaded to those offences, after the conclusion of her shoplifting trial.

Now the point was that theft is an either-way offence and Maroush could have pleaded guilty in the “mags”, in which case she would no doubt have received a £50 fine like the others. Why she had decided to elect Crown Court trial, God knows. We only got her case at the Crown Court stage.

So it was that we all appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court one day. Snaresbrook is a large rambling building near the end of the Central Line in Essex, and which even then had, I believe, 26 courtrooms (Wikipedia says 20, but that was in 1988; trial was in 1992; it’s pretty big, anyway…). One thing that struck me was when pupilmaster and I were provided (by the Crown Counsel) with a copy of a short Home Office report marked “Restricted”, all about Maroush’s clan origins.

It seems that Maroush came out of a clan of Arab Gypsies who lived (no doubt in poverty and on the margins of Arab society) in pre-WW2 Libya. The Second World War dislocated the states and colonies around the Mediterranean. The clan took the opportunity, after the war finished, somehow to get to Italy. They were eventually granted residency, and some, citizenship. The EEC/EC/EU arrived, with its “free movement” provisions. The clan then moved to somewhere where they could live off the host population more easily– the UK. The Home Office report was fairly direct, which perhaps was why it was “Restricted”: one would not want the British people or Press to see the truth…In fact, the report made it clear that few if any of the 5,000 Arab Gypsies of that clan then living in and around London had remunerative work. They all lived from theft, begging and State benefits.

The trial itself should have taken a day, but in fact took three, to the irritation of the judge. Pupilmaster was usually extremely long-winded, almost absurdly so. In fact, because the trial only ended late on the third day, sentence had to be put off to a fourth, because the other “£50 note trick” defs would be sentenced alongside Maroush. In the event, she was –almost inevitably– convicted of the Ilford shoplifting, and was sentenced to, if memory serves, 22 months’ imprisonment, though most of that was for the Dorset/Somerset offences. Still, she would have been better off pleading to the shoplifting, in the mags. She cried in the dock. I felt sad (I was younger and perhaps more sensitive then).

Not sure why that trial has stuck in my mind: the Home Office report? The youth and beauty of the defendant? The manifest silliness of her decision both to fight the shoplifting charge and, far worse, to do so in the Crown Court? All was put to one side over a few beers in the nearby Spread Eagle pub (if I recall the name aright) not long after. Life went on.
