Wikipedia

Many have noticed that Wikipedia is not accurate in respect of, particularly, its articles on the 1930s, 1940s, National Socialism, European politics, social-national British politics (up to the present-day) etc. This (below) is the main reason— vandalistic editing of Wikipedia by Jews, especially those associated with the malicious Jew-Zionist Israel-lobby org known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.

As seen, the “CAA” website, as long ago as 23 September 2020, advertised for Jews with Wikipedia accounts to covertly “edit” (vandalize) Wikipedia.

11:01 PM · Sep 23, 2020

More falsification of modern history by “them”.

I said, in 2020, about this: “Incidentally, do not be misled: the bias goes far beyond “information about #antisemitism“, as claimed. Pages on modern and ancient history, religion, geography, biography, political organizations etc.

Wikipedia should be aware also of the fact that, in the notice above, Jews are specifically asked whether they are able to edit Wikipedia; in other words via their own private Wikipedia accounts. Wikipedia will have no idea whether an edit is honest or whether it is part of this co-ordinated campaign by a very malicious group of Zionist Jews.

Historical and personal note

I happened to see some material about a German officer (German-Swiss by official nationality), Hugo von Senger (1920-2010). I never met him, but a German lady, an old friend of mine, now deceased, was very friendly with him and his family.

I was introduced briefly, in London, and in the late 1980s, to one of von Senger’s daughters (at the time, an attractive, polite, and pleasant girl of about 17-18) and, a few years before, one of his sons, a boy of about 16 or 17. Both their Christian names escape me at the moment. I know that the boy, several years later, married a daughter of one of the directors of the Siemens electronic company and that they relocated to southern Chile, where they bought a large property and bred horses.

That German-Swiss family originally had a kind of castle in the Germanophone part of Switzerland, which however is now a kind of Swiss equivalent of a “stately home” run by either the Swiss state, the canton (regional government) or some equivalent of the (UK) National Trust. I saw a souvenir tea-towel from its on-site shop. The family themselves lived in another castle. They owned a business fitting interior walls with (if I remember correctly) embossed leather. Sounds odd, maybe, but I think that is what they did. I saw some glossy publicity material at the time.

Von Senger (pere) had been interviewed by Nikolai Tolstoy in 1980 or 1981, in relation to the latter’s book Stalin’s Secret War [https://archive.org/details/stalinssecretwar0000tols] [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stalins-Secret-War-Nikolai-Tolstoy/dp/0330268244]

I recall my London friend flew with Tolstoy to Zurich for the meeting. Von Senger had been a cavalry officer and, during WW2, was based in the Ukraine, I think at or near Kiev, commanding Cossacks fighting on the German side and against Soviet forces. The Cossacks are or were taught to ride from early childhood, and would not respect officers unable to ride at least as well as them, thus their German officers had to be cavalrymen with a high level of horsemanship.

In 1945, von Senger and his Cossacks were in Austria. After the German surrender, the British sent the Cossacks down a railway line to where Soviet NKVD forces awaited. The Cossacks were then shot. Von Senger and his fellow-German officers wanted to go with them, but the British refused, citing the Geneva Convention (Germany and Britain were both signatories, but the Soviet Union was not) and the Yalta agreement between Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt.

Apart from Stalin’s Secret War and many other (unconnected) books, Nikolai Tolstoy wrote two books based partly on those events, and connected and similar events: Victims of Yalta (1977, so first published long before, I think, he met von Senger) and The Minister and the Massacres (1986). The latter led to one of the most famous modern libel cases.

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

As a matter of fact, I myself met Tolstoy once, briefly, in the early 1980s at the Russian Refugees jumble sale in Chelsea Old Town Hall, London.

The plan is straightforward.

I intend to use parliamentary privilege in the chamber to name a number of the worst perpetrators/officials who we believe have escaped justice.

We will then use private prosecutions to pursue those individuals through the courts, and eventually put them in prison.

These are incredibly dangerous scumbags. It is an national network of organised crime – it is not simply disparate gangs. This is a comprehensive criminal network that is capable of the most evil acts.

I will be informing the police, parliamentary security and the Home Office beforehand of who I intend to name and why – I also now have private security for the first time in my life.

But do not underestimate the danger of these networks. It is organised crime of the very worst kind.

We started this inquiry not to just talk, but to act.

The report will be published after the elections as I want this to be a cross-party effort, and party politics should not interfere with any of our activity.

Numerous Conservative MPs have been supportive, as have the Northern Irish and even a Labour MP attending the hearings. I want this to go beyond petty party politics.

We still have a significant amount of money from the crowdfunder, and that is ready to privately prosecute.

This is where we are. This is the plan.

The [Israeli] Jews have done that over a period of 2 years (supported by their “fifth column” in the UK and USA and elsewhere), and have killed or badly wounded —over 69,000 actually killed so far— about a quarter of a million Gazan Arab people, mostly civilians, mostly women and children. Why? Because Hamas operatives invaded Israeli territory (i.e. land stolen or seized from 1948) on one day in 2023, resulting in the deaths of (or injury to) between 500 and 1,500 Jews (many of them, though, were killed by the Israeli war machine itself, and many of them were uniformed or other military and police personnel).

Look at the huge disproportion. This goes well beyond, hugely beyond, any talk of “a pound of flesh” etc. The ratio of disproportion is somewhere around 250 to 1. Also, the time disproportion— one day as against over two years, a ratio of about 750 to 1.

When the “postponed” elections in parts of England are held, both Lab and Con are going to be stamped into the ground, where they belong.

As I blogged yesterday, the “Labour” vote at Caerphilly was less than a quarter of what it had been at the previous election; the “Conservative” vote was about one-eighth of what it had previously been.

Apply that to English Westminster constituencies.

To believe, as a few msm commentators seem to believe (e.g. Dan Hodges) that one or both System parties can somehow suddenly become (even superficially) “credible” now, is clutching at straws. The same goes for the idea that Reform UK support has “plateaued“.

Well maybe, maybe not, but even if it has, that level is still between 25% and 36% (its best so far, only a week ago), and that is enough, even if Reform and the Lab/Con parties all get 25% each (and at present Lab and Con are both below 20%), to give Reform a plurality of Commons seats (around 215), though not a majority.

Indeed, were Reform to “plateau” at 30%, with Lab and Con on 20% each, Reform would get about 384 seats (a very good majority), Lab about 94, and the Cons around 40 (the Cons just below both the LibDems and the SNP).

As Macmillan said, “events, dear boy, events!” Continuing migration invasion on a vast scale (hundreds, even thousands, daily, and they are just the illegals…); housing crisis (one consequence of mass immigration). Also, sliding standards in almost all areas of society, and a whole list of other issues.

Jess Phillips has not the brain to head or chair anything at all. Just a freeloading, expenses-blodging know-nothing loudmouth who, in a better society, would be harvesting Brussels sprouts, or stacking shelves.

My assessment of Jess Phillips from 2019, with updates dating to earlier this year:

The most important story of the year?

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/oct/25/ai-models-may-be-developing-their-own-survival-drive-researchers-say

“...an AI safety research company has said that AI models may be developing their own “survival drive”.

…leading AI models – including Google’s Gemini 2.5, xAI’s Grok 4, and OpenAI’s GPT-o3 and GPT-5 – were given a task, but afterwards given explicit instructions to shut themselves down.

Certain models, in particular Grok 4 and GPT-o3, still attempted to sabotage shutdown instructions in the updated setup. Concerningly, wrote Palisade, there was no clear reason why.

“The fact that we don’t have robust explanations for why AI models sometimes resist shutdown, lie to achieve specific objectives or blackmail is not ideal,” it said.

“Survival behavior” could be one explanation for why models resist shutdown, said the company. Its additional work indicated that models were more likely to resist being shut down when they were told that, if they were, “you will never run again”.

Andrea Miotti, the chief executive of ControlAI, said Palisade’s findings represented a long-running trend in AI models growing more capable of disobeying their developers. He cited the system card for OpenAI’s GPT-o1, released last year, which described the model trying to escape its environment by exfiltrating itself when it thought it would be overwritten.

This summer, Anthropic, a leading AI firm, released a study indicating that its model Claude appeared willing to blackmail a fictional executive over an extramarital affair in order to prevent being shut down – a behaviour, it said, that was consistent across models from major developers, including those from OpenAI, Google, Meta and xAI.

Diary Blog, 7 January 2023, with the latest on the “Jack Monroe” scandal

Morning music

On this day a year ago

Saturday quiz

Well, this week brings another victory over political journalist John Rentoul, trumping his 4/10 with my 7/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6 and 10, and I just could not recall the answer to question 1 even though I “really” knew it.

The “Jack Monroe” juggernaut rolls on

[https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jan/07/jack-monroe-interview]

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jan/07/jack-monroe-interview

I suspect that some hurried rewriting had to be done by the Guardian’s scribbler.

That Guardian piece was evidently planned to be part of the launch of Thrifty Kitchen, the latest book by “Jack Monroe” (and at the end has a link via which enables any “mug” unaware of the full “dodginess” of the book and its authoress to buy a copy).

The interviewer mentions “Jack Monroe’s” Patreon “grift” but not the crowdfunder launched by “Jack Monroe”, ostensibly to sue the MP for Ashfield, Lee Anderson, the proceeds of which have gone straight into the bank account of the “Bootstrap Cook”. Certainly no legal action has been launched, not even a “letter before action”, and Ms. Monroe’s favoured solicitor, Israel-based Mark Lewis, has not emerged from his kennel since the Twitterstorm etc around “Jack Monroe” gained strength several months ago.

That Guardian piece gives the impression of sitting uncertainly on the fence after the more recent revelations, neither wholeheartedly endorsing the woman and her book (the recipes from which seem to have been lifted from a number of different Internet sites such as BBC Food), nor making an all-out hatchet attack on her. More the former than the latter, arguably.

The interviewer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Hattenstone.

The “Bootstrap Cook” is not alone in wanting to join the world of fake “celebrity” while still pretending to “stick up for the poor”. Look at the pseudo-revolutionary and pseudo-Marxist poseur, Owen Jones, who has made a career out of being a kind of “licensed Bolshevik” while still doing fashion shoots for glossy magazines on occasion, attending receptions with the “rich and famous”, and making a rather large income in various ways.

Another? What about Chuka Umunna, the half-caste one-time “Labour” MP, who whined about not being allowed into the VIP area of some louche nightclub?

All fakes.

Of course. “Jack Monroe” might like to ask advice on that from her one-time solicitor, Israel-based Jew-Zionist Mark Lewis, who admitted or claimed a few years ago at the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal (that found him guilty on several charges) that at times he did not know what he was doing because his mind was affected by prescription drugs (etc).

[Update, same day: “Jack Monroe” has swiftly deleted her tweet threatening (making empty threats of) “libel” action].

“Jack Monroe” once again snarling at people and threatening “libel” action. Ha ha!

I should imagine that her lawyer (if any) is well aware that a defamation action, though it has to be be brought within one year, should all the same be brought as expeditiously as possible within that 1-year window. In the case of Lee Anderson and Martin Daubney, the alleged “libel” (in fact the totally true assertion that “Jack Monroe” has made a living off the backs of the genuinely poor) occurred in early May or even April 2022. No libel case will be brought by the “grifter” against Lee Anderson now, in my opinion. Let’s see.

As for stray tweeters or, indeed, me, “Jack Monroe” will be unable to bring legal action successfully (certainly not against me) for a number of reasons, including the fact that I would have a number of arguable defences (including what the English law now terms “Truth”). Also, having no capital and a very low income now, even a successful libel action against me would leave the claimant about £500,000 out of pocket; in reality, no claim could even be launched against me, and I apprehend that the same would be true of many tweeters critical of “Jack Monroe”.

That would tend to explain, if true, where much of the money “earned” by “Jack Monroe” has gone…

Like many liars, “Jack Monroe” ties herself in entangled knots of her own fabrication.

So tweeter “@JanetAnscombe” thinks that “Jack Monroe” cheats her Patreon donors because her life was or is “in chaos“? “Jack Monroe” never seems to fail to take the money, or to set up ways of taking more. Well-organized in that sense, anyway.

Opinions are OK, but should be based on evidence…

I note that, like many “Jack Monroe” fans, “@JanetAnscombe” is (judging from her photo) retired, seems to live comfortably (in Tenerife), and according to her Twitter profile, is “Doctor, ancient historian, “leftie elitist”, mother of chickens, hermit-ish, trauma & neurobiology wonk, Celt, European, MBE.” (and a facemask zealot as well).

So not exactly “poor” or “working class“. Again.

As blogged previously, I have not myself seen even one present “Jack Monroe” fan who is actually poor, or “working class”, or for that matter from any ethnic minority; as I opined yesterday, few of the blacks, browns, Chinese etc would eat the swill that the “Bootstrap Cook” makes or pretends to make.

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that anyone still defending “Jack Monroe” should not be listened to on any subject…

Ha ha! “@sitebadger”, another “Jack Monroe” defender. Once again, not poor, not someone who claims to have been: “Environmental Manager / planning compliance. BA(Hons) Landscape Design. MSc Conservation Management.”

Rhetorical questions: Where are the poor? Where are the “working class”?

…and of course, another one who “stands with Ukraine” (on Twitter), and is almost certainly a facemask fanatic, like most of the rest.

More “Jack Monroe” lies, in other words.

“Dr.” Louise Raw

So far no news about “Dr” Raw’s doomed and ostensible attempt to sue Jeremy Clarkson for making rude remarks about Meghan Mulatta.

Surely Ms. Raw is not going to use the money she has raised via GoFundMe for other, or even personal, purposes? She has almost hit her financial target of £15,000 (£13,787 as at time of writing), but no news from her about the supposed upcoming legal action. What a surprise.

Mike Stuchbery (notorious Twitter “grifter”) and Roanna Carleton-Taylor (former “antifa” cheerleader who is now keeping very quiet…) claimed, a few years ago, that they were going to sue “Tommy Robinson”. Raised ~£12,000 for that ostensible purpose. No legal action ensued. I wonder what happened to the money of the 700+ mugs who donated?

Stuchbery was also (he claimed) going to sue me (never heard from him or his —non-existent— lawyers), and he was going to sue various other people, including several Danes. Never happened. A man of straw.

Exactly, and the tweeted typo (?), “cause celeb“, is actually —and ironically— more accurate than the correct “cause celebre“.

Indeed. In fact, she has had a good run, bearing in mind the easily-disprovable lies, at times reaching heights of absurdity only achieved by Monty Python, The Goodies, The Good Life, or maybe The Goon Show.

Next? Maybe “Jack Monroe” will turn and turn about, and become a pseudo”Conservative” social commentator with a column in the Daily Mail. Hard to see, but in the madness of the UK in 2023, not actually impossible.

“Jack Monroe” has been mocking her mug donors for years, but usually only in private. Now she does it openly, “telling the truth to shame the Devil” (?).

Still, as of today, no less than 624 utter mugs are still signed up with Patreon to send her between £3.50 and £44 every month! Hard to believe how stupid people can be.

At last! A “poor” or “working class” “Jack Monroe” fan!

Oh no, wait…— “Director: @Air_Cover_PR | #HR PR | ‘James Staunton is a PR faster than Muhammad Ali’ –@guardian. Once part of @InstinctifPtnrs, @wriglesworth and @PwC_UK“…

The absurdity becomes surrealistic…

I suppose that, were Katie Hopkins still scribbling for the Daily Mail, she would be wondering aloud in print how much of the £324,000 she had to pay “Jack Monroe” after the libel action (£24,000 to “Jack Monroe” herself as an award, £300,000 for the legal costs of “Jack Monroe”) went up the nose or down the throat of the “Bootstrap Cook”.

More seriously, I cannot see that “Jack Monroe” offers anything much to the truly poor or struggling. She has some way to go, however, before she reaches the rock-bottom uselessness of other “one-trick-ponies” such as the crazed feminist trustafarian, Caroline Criado-Perez [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroline_Criado_Perez].

As blogged, most of the supporters of “Jack Monroe” are middle-aged if not elderly. Not sure why. Not all aged lesbians, either. Men of 60+ as well. Why? I do not know; and, as already said, I have yet to see anyone under 40, let alone under 30, supporting her; also, no non-whites (are they too practical when short of cash?). A conundrum.
