Morning thought

I saw a few minutes of one of those boring TV shows about buying, renovating, and selling/renting unaesthetic little houses. In this one, the buyers were two African women, I think sisters. In the brief segment I saw, they were buying the house “as an investment“, with the idea of renting it out and also getting a capital gain. The younger sister had just graduated from somewhere calling itself a university, and hoped to make a living out of property, i.e. renting houses out to people (who would therefore have to use much of their modest pay to rent it). The “British” msm thus commends buy-to-let parasitism: someone will have to work to get money so that those Africans can live, parasitically, upon the labour of the tenants. It’s just wrong.

[“The Ministry of Defense reported on the targets hit during last night’s attack:

• A logistics center called “MLP-Chayka” in Kyiv, used for storing and distributing components for drones.
• An automated warehouse called “Epicenter” for processing orders and storing dual-use goods.
• A logistics center belonging to “Nova Poshta,” where dual-use goods, including those for drone production, were stored and distributed.
• A logistics center in Brovary, Kyiv region, where drones were stored.
• A major hub for distributing and storing components for drones of various types.
• A “Novus” logistics center, where drones and their components were stored.
• Warehouses belonging to companies such as “Silpo FOOD,” “Ice Logistics,” Raben, and others, which were used for storing weapons.
• A fuel and lubricants warehouse and a “Nova Poshta” logistics center in the Chernihiv region, as well as a gas compressor station in the Poltava region.
• In addition, Russian forces struck three naval vessels south of Odesa, which were delivering weapons and military equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces acknowledged that they were unable to intercept any of the missiles during last night’s attack“].

That would seem to imply that Russian Intelligence, whether SVR, GRU, or other, is now very active within the areas controlled by the Kiev regime.

Incidentally, BBC TV News this morning had on some Ukrainian woman from RUSI, the Royal United Services Institute. Unable to maintain even a superficially “impartial” facade; very biased; tendentious.

The same happens to non-journalists (such as me). Especially via malicious Jews who “monitor” (snoop upon) online posts.

I do not recall pro-Israel, pro-Jewish-lobby careerist Wallace defending my rights to write or speak over the years; neither did Israel puppet Toby Young, or his fake “free speech” org. In fact, Wallace used to tweet against me a decade or so ago.

Still, even a stopped clock sometimes tells the right time…

For readers unaware of who Jason Arday is, he is the semi-literate black who is now, ludicrously, a professor of sociology at Cambridge; he plagiarized the work that led to his degrees and to his present position.

It might be a good idea for all those with more than a half-acre of land to set aside a quarter of an acre for growing food. That sounds like a small area, and is, but it is possible to grow quite a lot of food, in season, on such an area, even in the open rather than under glass; especially in southern England. For example, ~2-5 tons of tomato (~5,000-20,000 pounds weight). Or 2,500-4,000 pounds of broccoli. Or 5,000-8,000 pounds weight of potato.

It can be seen that a quarter-acre, or even an eighth of an acre, can produce rather a lot of food, especially vegetable food.

Not a complete answer, of course, and many people have no open space at all, but certainly an idea to consider for those with the possibility.

I was unaware until this week that private households can apply to water companies for a free water butt for their gardens. I remember seeing wooden ones in childhood, but those given out free of charge now are plastic.

Elimination of tinker/”traveller” predators and scavengers would make the UK a safer place overnight, make the (real) British people happier, and reduce the prison population accordingly.

Our animal friends.

Who is “we“, though? Goodwin often sounds as though he thinks that the UK is somehow in a position of supreme power in this world. No longer, if it ever was. Goodwin has a point on AI technology but, in the end, whatever happens in the UK is only of secondary —some might say “peripheral”— importance.

cf. “net zero”, “emissions causing global warming” etc…

Translates to a Commons with about 284 Labour MPs (42 short of a majority), 130 Reform UK (official Opposition), 127 Cons, 62 LibDems, 20 SNP [etc].

Would seem to imply a Labour-LibDem pact.

I have fought all my life against this meaningless “left/right” stuff. Impossible to define adequately. Just ignore such labels, and focus on policy.

Were Europe to face nuclear devastation, I doubt that the USA would get involved. Russia has 6,000+ nuclear weapons, many of them placed on unstoppable strategic missiles. Would the American ruling circles really put their cities, towns, military and naval bases in the hazard if Kiev, Warsaw, Berlin, even London were destroyed? I think not.

As for the USA, imagine if, say, its most important or populous ~200 cities were to be destroyed. At the bottom end, that means places such as Miramar, Florida, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa; places of which most people (even most Americans) have never heard. The USA would take about a century, maybe several centuries, to recover.

I think that the USA will keep the Mutually Assured Destruction threat for its own protection, but only for itself; not extended to the “NATO allies”.

Ideally, Europeans should take over Africa again, this time fully (far easier than many imagine), rule the continent benevolently for the benefit of Europeans, animals, birds, and Africans, put untermenschen such as Julius Malema up against a wall and, as for those (((others)))…well, my regular readers can probably guess what I think.

“A top military official has claimed that Nato is more than a decade behind Russia’s military capabilities, months after a British brigade was wiped out by a Ukrainian unit in war games.

Last year, the UK took part in a war simulation in Estonia involving more than 16,000 troops from 12 Nato countries but were ‘destroyed’ by Ukrainian troops in a ‘horrible’ defeat.

The embarrassing loss came only months before Ukraine’s former commander-in-chief warned that it will take more than a decade for Nato to catch up to half of Russia’s military capabilities.

Valerii Zaluzhny, considered to be one of the most trusted public figures in Ukraine, has said Nato was still behaving as if future conflicts would be similar to the Second World War.

Kyiv‘s ambassador to Britain reportedly said: ‘Most likely, Nato will remain in the same form as it is, and will spend 12 years, like Ukraine, transitioning to standards that need to be achieved in order to reach at least half of the level of the Russian Federation.’

The former general added that Ukrainian forces were superior to armies in Nato, who were still working to ‘doctrines’ set up in the 1940s, according to The Times.”

More Kiev-regime terrorism.

Yet more Kiev-regime terrorism.

Before very long, the Kiev regime will be unable to intercept most Russian drones and missiles.

Amazing. I once, long ago, crossed the Danube by raft-ferry (between Bulgaria and Romania); midsummer, but the water level was quite high.

[“Former head of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, confirmed rumors that he, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Thomas Massie are hoping to create a new political movement or a third party, based on opposition to U.S. wars, the Israeli organization AIPAC, and corporate funding, with the initial goal of nominating a candidate for the 2028 presidential election.

In an interview with Chenk Uygur from The Young Turks, Kent said that the group met at Carlson’s home in Maine after concluding that both major parties repeatedly lead to “another war in the Middle East,” regardless of how Americans vote.

Kent also said that after participating in the 2028 presidential election, they may run for other offices, and acknowledged that difficulties in registering candidates may force them to nominate a candidate through an existing party. Here is a quote from Kent about the main goals of the group:

“We don’t want Israel dictating our foreign policy. We don’t want any more wars abroad. We don’t want to run a huge empire.”

Kent noted that the group has urged Carlson to run, but he has repeatedly declined. They plan to fund this activity through donations from ordinary citizens, rather than from corporate political action committees:

“As soon as you start taking money from corporate political action committees… you’re really not in control.”

Regarding J.D. Vance, Kent said that he still has a personal good relationship with him, but called him a “captive of the two-party system” who will have difficulty convincing voters to trust him in 2028 after he “defended Trump’s war.“]
