Yes to more English/British children, but no to more children from non-whites resident in the UK.

Even that does not tell the whole story, because quite a high proportion of the grandmothers, or grandfathers, or both, of the remaining 66% are in fact also non-white, non-European.

About 1,600 babies are born daily in the UK. Only about 400 of those are actually English/British, or fully English/British.

8 out of 10 of those countries are very backward, and so are most of the people. As for “Romanians“, I would be prepared to bet that most, the vast majority, are not real Romanians at all but Roma Gypsies.

Refer to earlier comment. The real figure, i.e. children born to wholly or partly non-white English/British parents and grandparents is nearer to 70% now.

Israeli Jews have been and still are killing tens of thousands of defenceless Arab Palestinian children. Fact.

Eventually, though, there will be a big bang. Then, no Tel Aviv…

In Central London. Amazing.

USG” = “U.S. Government”. As for Russia’s economy “starting to creak”, has Steele taken a look closer to home recently? UK, EU states etc…

Steele [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Steele] was an officer of SIS/MI6 1987-2009 who, in more recent times, has worked in the private sector, and has been involved, inter alia, in preparing “black propaganda” dossiers of doubtful veracity targeting Trump and others, and Russian interests generally. He cannot now conveniently travel in either Russia or the USA, and is believed to live and/or have property in Surrey, south-west of London.

According to Wikipedia etc, Steele acted as a paid FBI source between 2014-2016, and was paid around USD $100,000 in toto.

In my opinion, probably not at all reliable.

As an outsider, not involved in secret activities, I have always been sceptical of the value of the SIS/MI6 apparat. I still am. Where are the successes? (and it is no answer to reply that they have to be kept secret).

Looking at Steele’s tweet, I might bat back at him the same question, but about his own activity— cui bono?

I have just looked at a few recent tweets by Steele. He is, it seems to me, in danger of becoming obsessed by the idea of Trump as Russian secret (or not-so-secret) agent.

Reminiscent of those SIS/MI6 and MI5 oddities of the 1960s and 1970s (Peter Wright, Stephen de Mowbray etc) who were convinced that the D-G of MI5, Roger Hollis, and others (including the Prime Minister, Harold Wilson) were Soviet agents: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Wright_(MI5_officer); and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_de_Mowbray; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Hollis.

Using Electoral Calculus, that would suggest Reform 276 MPs, Labour 199, LibDem 73, Cons 47, SNP 24. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

Reform has probably fallen back a bit by reason of two factors: its kneejerk pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby pronouncements, and the perception (seen in comments by pro-Reform Matt Goodwin, as well in some by Tice etc) that Reform wants to radically cut back the Welfare State.

As for the Conservative Party, probably damaged beyond repair now. 14 years of terrible misgovernment in almost all if not all areas, and now “led” by hopeless Nigerian woman Kemi Badenoch.

[“I loathe disability cuts full-stop from any party, what an absolute disgrace. But let’s be quite clear, Tories are opposing them BECAUSE THEY DON’T GO FAR ENOUGH. That is an appalling position to adopt, unpopular & mad, look at how the public’s reacted to Labour’s plans! I’d almost respect that despicable position more if they at least backed Labour’s intention to bring welfare bills down, it looks more principled – if you believe in disability cuts which dear lord I don’t. So Labour want to bring in horrific cuts, Tories (and Reform) want deeper cuts but Tories will oppose even though they agree with the mission but think it’s underpowered. Beyond unprincipled. The vote tonight reveals an all-round shitshow of cruelty, cynicism and performative opposition. No wonder voters despair.“]

The only thing that makes System MPs afraid is […COMMENT REDACTED because the UK no longer has much freedom of speech…].

That is because Starmer-stein and his cabal are not really a Labour government, except in terms of label; they are a Labour Friends of Israel regime. Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall, all of that rubbish lot.

High Peak is an unfortunate constituency. First they had Conservative Friends of Israel MP Robert Largan (2017-2024), now they have Labour Friends of Israel MP Jon Pearce (2024-). The difference is mainly the party label.

What price “democracy” when, whomsoever you vote for, you get a Friends of Israel drone?

More seriously, Basic Income is the way forward. Akin to Pension (Guarantee) Credit, but rolled out to every (real) English/British citizen (i.e. not fuzzie-wuzzies straight off the boats).

95% or more of the vulgarly-named “Jobcentres” could be shut down, 99.99% of the ludicrously-named “job coaches” etc (most of whom are probably otherwise unemployable themselves) could be dismissed; huge numbers of buildings could be shut down, saving billions.

Liz Kendall. Stephen Timms. The two most immediately guilty individuals, followed by Rachel Reeves, Starmer-stein, and then all the MPs who vote for these evil disability cuts.

Quite. It is the hypocrisy emanating not only from Liz Kendall etc but also from the evil Conservative Party MPs such as Ian Dunce Duncan Smith that is so nauseating.

Also, where is the understanding about how automation, computers, now AI too, already affect and will increasingly affect employment? Marx (arguably) started the ball rolling on that (discussion of the effects), and that was 150 years ago.

Who needs prisons, when walls and squads are available?

Jon Trickett, born in 1950, comes from an era when the Labour Party, for all its flaws, still had weight and at least some integrity. That was then…

Liz Kendall, Rachel Reeves, Starmer-stein, Timms. Others. All guilty. I am “not allowed” (in our “free country”) to say what I think should happen to them, but I know what I think, and I think a lot of other people are thinking the same…

[“Today, CAA has written to @Glastonbury demanding answers over the weekend’s events and noting that the Festival organisers may have breached the conditions of their licence by platforming certain acts despite warnings not to do so. The letter is also being shared with @SomersetCouncil, the licensing authority. We have given Glastonbury fourteen days to respond, and, subject to their answers and engagement, we will consider further legal steps. Glastonbury this year allowed itself to become even more of a hate-fest than ever before. That ends now. Or Glastonbury Festival does.”]

“They” are completely out of control, and themselves want the power to control, “monitor”, censor, and close down anyone and anything they decide is “anti-Semitic”.

Saturday quiz

Well, 6/10 this week, trumping the 2/10 scored by political journalist John Rentoul. I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, and 8.

The Jewish-Zionist plot to bring down Corbyn

The website Declassified UK has published a review of a book on the anti-Corbyn campaign, headlined “Morgan McSweeney’s ‘plot without precedent in Labour history’— A new book chronicles how Labour strategist Morgan McSweeney used ‘any means necessary’ to destroy Corbyn as leader and install Starmer.”

As one would expect, the book and the review both term the anti-Corbyn plotters “the Right“, rather than “Jews” or “Jew-Zionists”; and they use the now so-outdated “Right/Left” descriptors.

In fact, the plot to topple Corbyn was plainly one planned and funded by pro-Israeli, and probably actual Israeli, sources at root, though carried out by Zionists or pro-Zionists not all of which were Jews (though many were).

I followed Corbyn’s progress on the blog almost from when the blog started in late 2016; certainly from 2017. It was clear to me that there was a basically Jewish —and almost certainly also Israeli— conspiracy to topple him.

Not that I much favoured Corbyn, a relatively uneducated man with simplistic socialist policy viewpoints. Also, while being anti-Israeli, Corbyn always gave lip-service to some of the Zionist propaganda regulars, such as the WW2 “holocaust” narrative. He was not ruthless enough to crush his enemies.

Still, Corbyn was at least a recognizable and relatively decent English type. Starmer (“Starmer-stein”) has no decency and is just a careerist drone, out for what he can get, as witness his grabbing whatever freebies, expenses-paid items, holiday trips etc he and his Jewish wife can grab. Also, of course, his directionless travel on policy.

The fake-Labour “welfare” cuts, the cheating of the pensioners, unemployed, sick, disabled etc. The U-turn on the “trans” nonsense, too. On the one hand on his knees (literally, with Angela Rayner) before the black mobs of “Black Lives Matter”, but then playing the poundshop Stalin when English people got angry at the migration-invasion.

The website post is worth reading, but cannot be linked to, it seems.

I wonder. I am minded to think that, even if a temporary peace is agreed soon, it will not last. Russia must take and retain all of the territory east of the Dnieper.

Balashikha is, inter alia, a kind of colony for high-ranking Russian military people, situated east of Moscow, and a kind of outer suburb.

The Kiev regime seems to be able to hit individuals in Russia quite efficiently. It is an open question whether the Kiev-regime secret services have, or have had, the help of the CIA and/or MOSSAD to do that. Not the CIA any more, I should have thought.

Of course, such assassinations, while high-profile, do not change the fact that, on the ground in Ukraine, Russian forces continue to advance steadily on all relevant sectors of the front.

As I predicted long ago on the blog. I said that Starmer-stein would try to “solve” the “small boats” migration-invasion by “processing” claims (rubberstamping them) swiftly, possibly overseas, thus magically turning illegal immigrants into legal ones, then emptying the asylum hotels by gifting the invaders council housing or State-paid private rental housing that should be going to British people.

I hope that the voters of Runcorn and Helsby send a firm message —by voting Reform— to Starmer-stein at the by-election next Thursday.

Runcorn and Helsby, this is your chance to make history.

On those figures, Reform would have well over 250 MPs, Labour fewer than 190, and the Cons only 75. The Cons might then be the third-largest party in the Commons, but possibly only the fourth-largest. Terminal.

That evil spirit, Ursula von der Leyen, talks about peace, while supplying the brutal and corrupt Kiev regime dictatorship with huge amounts of arms, ammunition, and EU taxpayers’ money.

Wherever two or more are gathered in my name...” (but are they?).

Runcorn and Helsby voters!— do what you have to do next Thursday to sink Labour. If you vote Reform, well and good. If you want to vote Green or elsewhere, OK. Whatever you do, don’t vote Starmer-stein fake Labour, even if it means just staying home.

So that’s the end of that…

Glad I am not in his boots (whether guilty or not).

They count the rockets being intercepted; seem to have numbered twelve.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/06/german-government-on-brink-of-collapse-after-olaf-scholz-sacks-finance-minister

The German government was left on the brink of collapse after the chancellor, Olaf Scholz, unexpectedly sacked his finance minister, plunging Europe’s largest economy into political disarray.

“The situation is serious,” Scholz added. “There is war in Europe, tensions are increasing in the Middle East. At the same time, our economy is stagnating.”

I could suggest something about certain parts of London (mostly North and North-West), but in view of the fact that free speech in the UK is all but dead (by reason of the activities of “a certain tribe”), I think that, today at least, I prefer to keep my views to myself.

Russia only wants Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper river) and the coastline across to and including Odessa.

Historically, what is now Western Ukraine (based on Lvov) has made several different rulerships, including both Russia and Austria-Hungary.

While Putin would probably prefer to take all of Ukraine, I think that he would accept a peace agreement with a Lvov-based rump Ukraine willing to be neutral in future. That used to be called, from 1945 to 2023, “Finlandization”, and worked quite well for everyone until, quite recently, the Finnish government went mad and joined NATO.

That is a good thing. America is at its best when it is isolationist.

October Revolution

7 November (in the Gregorian calendar) is the day on which, in the Soviet Union, was set aside to commemorate the Bolshevik seizure of power in October 1917 (old-style, Julian calendar).

There were always parades in Moscow. I recall watching Soviet TV news in the old Channel 4 newsroom (then in the old ITN building in Wells Street, near Oxford Street) as a kind of guest, in 1984.

40 years ago, almost half a lifetime.

I recall it mainly because of the excellent picture quality on the satellite link; also because I had come directly from a tough afternoon taekwando session taught by a candidate-competitor black-belt destined for the 1988 Seoul Olympics (I don’t know whether he eventually went, though).

It was interesting to see people normally seen by me only on TV broadcasts. Peter Sissons, for one [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sissons]. I remember how surprised I was that he seemed rather fat when encountered in person.

When the Bolsheviks seized power from the Kerensky government in 1917, a tide of anger and unrest poured across, first Russia, then the rest of the world.

The history of the 20th Century was, to a large extent, the outcome of the fight against, or for Sovietism. The rise of National Socialism was also, to a large extent, the result of Bolshevism and the struggle to resist it. An Abwehr or “parrying”.

Even after the events of the Second World War, the subsequent “peace” revolved around the need in the West to “parry” Sovietism— the Yalta and other agreements, the Cold War, the “Finlandization” not only of Finland itself but also of Austria and Yugoslavia. The taking out of Central Europe, and the reduction of Europe into East and West.

Of course, Sovietism itself changed too, internally: Bolshevism and Leninism became Stalinism (with Trotskyist offshoots overseas), then post-Stalinist Sovietism under Khrushchev and his successors.

International revolution against finance-capitalist reaction became big-power and then superpower rivalry.

By the time I watched that 1984 TV news broadcast, the Cold War was still going strong, superficially, but the Soviet Union had only 5 years left. (Officially, the Soviet Union lasted until 1991, but it was dead by late 1989). It did not necessarily seem so at the time. The Dzerzhinsky Regiment (MVD troops) led that parade (the bit I saw), and the Soviet power still gave the impression of being fearsome. However, as a character notes in one of my favourite films, The Russia House, adaptation of a John le Carre novel, the Soviet knight was dying inside his armour.

Now we are in a rather different world. Still, after a 1989-2022 gap, the superpower rivalry is again there (if it ever went away), but this time as a conflation of a rump-Sovietism with a Great-Russian nationalism, bumping horns against an expansionist NATO led and ruled over by a USA which is, in effect, NWO/ZOG (New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government).

Where now? The front-lines of the conflict are in Ukraine (which the Western power wants to subsume into its sphere of influence) and, to a lesser extent, the Middle East.

Europe needs a new direction. So does Russia. The answer must be a Eurasian ethno-state, Europe joining loosely with Russia against the areas of the world which are comprised of peoples, in very broad terms, now the enemies of positive evolution.

Well, there’s something I did not know. No hint of it in her Wikipedia entry: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Mordaunt#Early_life_and_education.

The craziest thing of all (and most destructive economically) was the stupid “austerity” programme of part-Jews George Osborne and David Cameron-Levita, carried on from 2010 to 2015, then continued to a large extent by (also part-Jews) Theresa May and “Boris” Johnson.

That ridiculous “austerity” programme after the 2008 banking crash (the “austerity” validated by the msm propaganda hate campaign against the poor, unemployed, sick, and disabled) meant that, instead of borrowing at zero or near-zero interest rates and then investing in the future (useful infrastructure, real education etc), all that happened was that the economy was further crippled, leading over time to enormous state debt anyway, but for nothing useful.

The disastrous anti-“Covid” measures merely made all that worse.

Incidentally, the Gordon Brown government, 2007-2010, had already started the attack on State services, benefits etc, and had allowed entrance to the fraudulent ATOS regime at the DWP. Don’t tell me that “Labour”, particularly under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer, is going to be any different to the “Conservatives”.

Was there ever a “Ben Wallace cult“? Good grief…

Typical Twitter ignorance. Rinder has never been a judge; he simply plays a kind of “judge” on a TV show: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Rinder.

Indeed, Rinder, a Jewish barrister, has never held himself out as ever having been a real judge.

So much for tweeter Toby Earle, “@TobyOnTV”, who, on his Twitter/”X” profile, describes himself as “TV critic and broadcaster“. Cannot even get basic facts right. All too typical of many today, even outside the realm of Twitter/”X”.

Walker obviously missed the few tiny demonstrations by supporters of the Jew-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” cabal several years ago, which despite having involved only 50-100 Jews, were presented in much of the Press as having involved several hundreds (I think that one or two newspapers even claimed 1,000+!).

Also, whatever Walker or the Guardian may prefer to believe, the ULEZ nonsense is obviously extremely unpopular.

London’s air was of pretty poor quality back in the 1970s, but is far better now. ULEZ is the wrong policy at the wrong time.

When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called “fetal-maternal microchimerism”.⁠

For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades.

Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too. Even if a pregnancy doesn’t go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream. Research has shown that if a mother’s heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart. The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby. How cool is that?

This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant. It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects & rebuilds the mother back – so that the baby can develop safely and survive. Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave? Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mothers brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?” If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there….Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them. I find this to be so very beautiful.”

Children have already been given new educational literature, hot meals have been organized according to Russian standards.

What a surprise (not): German people prefer not to be on the receiving end of a Russian nuclear attack, particularly if the only reason for that were to be further German arming of the brutal, corrupt, and shambolic Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev.

The topic of Ukraine has dropped to 4th place in terms of importance for the Germans , follows from the ARD-Deutschlandtrend poll.

Only 9% of Germans called Ukraine the most important topic that the government should deal with. 28% of Germans believe that the authorities should take care of the economy. 26% consider migrants and refugees to be an important topic. 18% are concerned about the environment and climate. And only 9% named the topic of Ukraine as important. Despite the fact that in April there were 25% of such people.”

The information about the exhaustion of the conscription contingent in Ukraine and the gradual lifting of restrictions on the total conscription of the male population is again confirmed.

According to the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Danilov, in the country, limitedly suitable men can mobilize into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, “but there are certain nuances.”

According to the head of the National Security and Defense Council, it is necessary “to give an interpretation of who is conditionally fit, where people who have such an order in their documents can be used.” So that there is no double interpretation of the norm, in the near future “this issue will be resolved.”

As previously blogged, the Kiev regime is running out of cannon-fodder, having lost perhaps 450,000 soldiers killed, wounded, or captured over the past 18 months.

Interesting to consider the question of whether the students and others will (finally?) wake up to the consequences of importing millions of useless and unwanted blacks and browns. Or will they, like the “refugees welcome” dimwits, simply say that the (inevitable) consequences of such importation are actually just the fault of “the Tories” for not having built millions of houses and flats (with magic money) to house the invaders in the English suburbs and countryside?

Via microchips under the skin. Anyone “refusing” (not complying) will not be arrested or prosecuted, but will simply find it more and more difficult to access means of travel, hotels, jobs, banking services —including debit cards etc, which will probably also be only via sub-dermal microchip(s—, and even basic foods and other goods. The few percent of people unwilling to comply at all will be marginalized, outcasts, to an extent greater even than “down-and-outs” or the homeless today.

Think that it will be easy to refuse? Think again. The well-known journalist etc, Peter Hitchens, was one of the loudest UK voices against the “Covid” “vaccine” “jabs” (injections). His column thundered against the so-called “vaccines”. However, once he wanted to travel by air and found that, at that time, proof of “vaccination” was required, he caved in and received the “vaccine” into his body.

Evil drones such as that WEF conspirator in the video clip above are, however, as mortal as you and me. As people now tend to say, “just sayin’“…

Bravo! Why has the UK no conventional politicians of her kind? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Anderson.

I hope not. If it were to happen, it would quite likely slide into a nuclear exchange. Britain, as the USA’s “unsinkable aircraft carrier“, would be one of the worst-hit parts of the world.

Staff colleges in the 1960s/1970s (including the UK’s Staff College, and the Soviet Army General Staff Military Academy etc), wargamed this. A “limited” nuclear exchange always led to an all-out strategic exchange.

Even we, the few social-nationalists (in the UK), are completely unready for the aftermath of that. It might be the opportunity to eliminate the forces and cohorts of evil within UK society, but we have not the means with which to do that, not as things stand, even were we (and the enemies) to survive the large-scale war devastation.

Historical note

I have to admit that I did not know that Jews confined to the area of Warsaw called the Jewish Ghetto in the early 1940s had tram services, though I knew that there were trams running outside and close to its boundaries.

During SMO artillery means, especially from the Russian side, again proved to be a key component of the armed forces. The general reliance on the type of artillery, the intensive use of cannons, howitzers, multi-barreled launchers and mortars, as well as the high level of destruction caused by their effects, represent an important characteristic that distinguishes this conflict from almost all wars fought at the beginning of the 21st century. Russian artillerymen justified the nickname “god of war”, which their army has been carrying for almost 80 years.”

Russians have always valued artillery, sometimes described as “our mother guns“…

Chief of Ukrainian military intelligence: We could hardly do without Western weapons.

It would be very difficult for Ukraine to continue the fight without military assistance from the West, said the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, on Friday. ” It would be difficult, very difficult. There is no need to elaborate, it would be very difficult ,” he said in an interview for the 1+1 television channel.

Budanov also asserted that “there is no reason to fear that arms deliveries will be completely suspended”. Commenting on Western criticism that Ukraine’s counter-offensive is proceeding too slowly, Budanov pointed out that it is not being carried out for Kyiv’s partners.

The message (though not the one the Kiev regime wanted to give) is plain— the war would stop shortly after the EU, UK, and USA stop giving arms, ammunition, money etc to Zelensky’s cabal.

Just do it; take away Zelensky’s ricebowl.

So, again, who is hurt by sanctions against Russia? The consumers and taxpayers of western and central Europe. Not Russia or Russians. The gas produced in Russia will still be sold elsewhere in the world, and Russian citizens are, if anything, better off than they were before the sanctions were imposed.

“Western decadence”, or just “Western” madness?

A strange “war”, in which Ukraine (Kiev regime) allows transit of Russian oil exports through its territory (at a price) and, until last week, Russia allowed the Kiev regime to export grain.

Is it not the other way around? Whatever. The fact is that there is little clear blue water between the two major System parties, a fact many voters have started to realize.

A pub landlady today defied authorities and put more of her golliwog collection back on display just days after 20 of them were seized by police as part of an investigation that she and her husband had committed a hate crime.

Benice Ryley proudly placed five of the controversial dolls behind the bar of The White Hart pub in Grays, Essex, which she has run for the past 17 years with her husband Chris.

The couple, who are in their 60s, had six officers enter the pub last Tuesday and take away 20 dolls displayed on a shelf behind the bar after an anonymous complaint was made against them.

Meaning “defied” the clown police of Essex. My own experience, from 2017: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/.

Read that article. The Essex Police clowns are still claiming that the golliwogs they seized are “part of an investigation” into a so-called “hate crime“, which is complete nonsense. It is not unlawful to own or display a golliwog.

One of the alarming aspects of contemporary Britain is the degree to which the police are (wilfully?) unaware of the limits to their power and, indeed, jurisdiction.

Today’s revelation that suspected terrorists have entered Britain posing as small boat migrants brings a whole new context to the Channel crisis.

It was already known that hundreds of criminals had been identified among arrivals from France – raising huge questions about Britain’s porous border and the Government’s ability to protect its citizens.

Now we know that the problem is far, far worse.

The 19 terror suspects who camouflaged themselves as would-be refugees to enter the UK are known to be affiliated with some of the most murderous groups in the world, including Islamic State and the Somali Islamist insurgent group al-Shabaab.

The security services were already under pressure keeping tabs on thousands of individuals who pose an active threat in the UK.”

Ukraine’s air defence could crumble ‘within weeks’, according to leaked US intelligence documents.

The New York Times reported that newly leaked Pentagon documents and US officials suggest that a huge influx of munitions is needed to keep Russia’s air force from changing the course of the war.

According to one leaked document, missile stocks for Soviet-era S-300 and Buk air defence systems, which constitute 89 per cent of Ukraine’s protection against most fighter aircraft and some bombers, could be fully depleted by May 3 and mid-April.

One leaked document reportedly assessed that Ukrainian air defences designed to protect troops on the front line will be “completely reduced” by May 23.”

[Daily Telegraph]

There it is. The air defences of the Kiev regime may have “crumbled” and will be “fully depleted” and “completely reduced” within 1-5 weeks from now.

At the same time, the Kiev-regime infantry still living is suffering poor morale and huge losses.

The conclusion must be that Russia can press its advantage in the warmer weather expected soon.

Zelensky will have to stop pretending to be a great (or any) statesman and/or great (or any) military leader, and go back to clowning on TV comedy shows. Either that, or retreat to his USD $40M villa in Florida.

Typical, but it is “Kiev“, not “Kyiv“, and certainly not (as the BBC, Sky etc now say) “Keeev“.

Stalingrad meets Mad Max.

The above analysis is very weak re. Weimar hyperinflation. The Weimar Republic did not collapse because of hyperinflation.

The Weimar hyperinflation period was 1921-1923, but mainly summer 1922 to November 1923. In other words, hyperinflation really only existed for about 18 months.

The hyperinflation did notcollapse” the Weimar Republic, though it did destroy the savings of those who had savings, thus making the whole political situation in Germany, already unstable, more unstable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation_in_the_Weimar_Republic. It did rob the Weimar Republic of authority, to be sure. People distrusted it.

The final collapse of the Weimar Republic, which stabilized to some extent in the mid/late 1920s, came about more because of the Depression, which was born outside Germany, in the USA.

Hitler and the NSDAP did not attain full State power until 1933, a decade after the end of the hyperinflationary period.

The NSDAP only garnered 2.6% of the vote in 1928. Over the several elections succeeding, that vote-share grew to 37.3% in 1932, and then to 43.9% in 1933. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party#German_Reichstag.

Not very impressive, but better than Andrea Leadsom’s effort, Snakes and Ladders, which is managing a mere 20 per month.

Good to know that cultural institutions are being maintained and rebuilt.

Interesting. I have blogged a few times about the day in 1994 or 1995 (I think 1995) when I visited the partly-privatized but still heavily-guarded Porton Down biolab campus in Wiltshire, UK, with the then Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, a trained scientist who was later both a Presidential candidate and director of a biochemistry and biosecurity institute in Ukraine [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serhiy_Komisarenko].

Well, OK, but that old woman can express her views freely on the streets of (?) Moscow, and have them broadcast without repercussions. If she had been in Kiev, and had opposed the regime of the corrupt Jew Zelensky, she would probably, almost certainly, have been arrested; the interview would certainly not be broadcast or allowed to be put on social media. Everyone involved would be arrested.

So who is “brainwashed“? The Western msm is more or less brainwashing people in the UK, USA etc, though many are “thinking for themselves” and not supporting the war or the Kiev regime.

The Twitterati were all so shocked to find that there was a majority in favour of Brexit (meaning,mainly, in favour of stopping immigration), and that America voted Trump in 2016.

As I blogged yesterday, Jeremy Hunt seems to have a political cloth ear.

Goodwin’s tweet about “1950s” is not quite right though. “1940s” would be better. It is a linguistic point. The 1950s were when Britain began to exit from the terrible privation of the unnecessary war against the German Reich. The poverty of Britain was actually worse in the decade (and especially the 5 years) after the end of the war than it had been during that misconceived war. The decline in living standards during the war itself lurched lower in 1946, 1947 and did not improve, substantially, until about 1954 or 1955. The last remnants of WW2 rationing ended in 1955.

Incidentally, it is interesting to note that many poorer Brits actually had a better diet during WW2 rationing than they had had in the prewar 1930s.

Some of the (pro-immigration) replies to Goodwin’s tweet are unintentionally hilarious: idiots saying that the UK “needs” immigrants, that the UK is not “full” (despite housing covering more of our green fields daily), and one pro-invasion tweeter (one of the most vituperative) who lives on the Costa Tropical in Spain!

According to some tweets I saw, the decision was made by some black woman, by name Lorna Clarke: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/lorna-clarke-3a19b415. She, it seems, is actually the “BBC Director, Music” and formerly “Head of Rock and Pop“.

Education: Copenhagen Business School“…How odd.

That black woman who, on the face of it, knows little or nothing about serious music, made the decision. Even the Guardian has printed criticism of it: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/14/classical-music-bbc-orchestras-singers.

How has this been allowed to happen? Early last year, the BBC’s music review recommended an extraordinary restructure. Alan Davey, the recently departed controller of BBC Radio 3 and the Proms, ceased to have direct responsibility for the classical ensembles that are now under the control of former head of rock and pop Lorna Clarke, while [Simon] Webb, the former director of the BBC Philharmonic, is the new head of orchestras and choirs in England.

The BBC’s timing is as calculated as its strategy is callous: ensembles struggling to recover from the pandemic, exhausted from keeping the show on the road throughout, three of the ensembles without a permanent director and all contractually gagged. There is not one single champion for classical music left at the BBC in any position of power or influence. Herod has been left minding the creche.

I no longer know if the BBC is a public service broadcaster; I don’t recognise it any more, or its values. If it no longer exists to do that which others cannot or will not, then what is it for? After 23 years of constant change, the ensembles of the BBC have never been more agile, flexible or willing to adapt, and they represent tremendous value for money in the grand scheme of the BBC’s budget and our licence-fee payment.

The role of cultural patron is not optional, and the responsibilities as custodian of music ensembles do not give the BBC permission to dispose of and dismantle them without serious public discussion, not to mention honest, transparent internal debate. The values and behaviour of what we are told repeatedly is “our BBC” must matter to all of us as much as the content.”

[Paul Hughes, in the Guardian]

Apart from the actual absurdity of having blacks and merely business-trained persons in positions of power in the cultural sphere, this damage goes right back to the 1990s, to John Birt [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Birt,_Baron_Birt] and Greg Dyke [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Dyke]. Those two, who knew and worked with each other, both had poor educational and —initial— work backgrounds, yet were allowed to take leading positions in British television and radio.

Repin “reclassified” as “Ukrainian”!

Thankfully, Wikipedia still has him, as of today, as the Russian he was: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Repin.

Ilya Yefimovich Repin (Russian: (pre-1918: Илья Ефимовичъ Рѣпинъ) Илья Ефимович Репин, pronounced [ˈrʲepʲɪn];[a] 5 August [O.S. 24 July] 1844 – 29 September 1930) was a Russian painter.[1][3][4][5][b] He became one of the most renowned artists in Russia in the 19th century.

Repin was born on 24 July 1844 in the town of Chuguev, in the Kharkov Governorate of the Russian Empire, in the heart of the historical region of Sloboda Ukraine.[10][11][12] His father, Yefim Vasilyevich Repin (1804—1894) served in an Uhlan Regiment of the Imperial Russian Army. He fought in the Russo-Persian War (1826–1828), the Russo-Turkish War (1828–29) and the Hungarian campaign (1849).

Is that (the £8.4M) true? If so, how?

Liz Truss graduated from university in 1996. After that, she worked for Shell for not more than 4 years, until 2000. Her position was just a low-grade graduate-entry one, during which employment she also qualified as a management accountant; she left in 2000 to join Cable and Wireless, and was there for 4-5 years, but although she did eventually get appointed Economic Director, she was only at that level for a year or two at most.

Liz Truss was also Deputy Director of the Reform think-tank for a year or so (2008/2009).

After having won a House of Commons seat in 2010, Liz Truss was a backbench MP for 2 years, and gained minor preferment 2012-2014, joining Cabinet in 2016. She was, therefore, a Cabinet minister for 6 years until she became Prime Minister in 2022 for the notoriously and historically-short period of 44 disastrous days.

So from where does the £8.4M come? Surely not from her family, who though not poor were employed persons (father an academic, mother a schoolteacher); I have not heard tell of any considerable family money.

As for Truss’s long-suffering husband, he is a chartered accountant, so again, while not poor, scarcely living in great opulence amid heavy wealth.

Liz Truss cannot have begun to make more than a modest salary until about 2004, had 2-3 years out of employment (she has two children, and also took time out for reasons of political careerism etc) until 2008, and she ceased to be employed (prior to becoming an MP) in 2009 or early 2010. In other words, she probably only had ~4 years of relatively high earning.

A Cabinet minister and MP is paid a total of around £160,000 (plus expenses), but the £160K is taxed, and she was only earning that for 6 years.

The mystery or puzzle remains: if Liz Truss really does have assets of £8.4M (even if you include those of her husband) from where did the money come?

Ha ha! Look at the “selection process” for MPs. They are often selected either because they know the right people and/or went to school with them, or worked with them previously in some way; or they are selected because they have paper “qualifications” which look good but in reality are not worth a hill of beans.

For example, “Oxford degree” (which these days is scarcely worth squat, and 94% of them are now either “Firsts” or “upper seconds”).

Many MPs (refer to, e.g., my “Deadhead MPs” series on the blog) also more or less invent a fake CV— fake or embellished academics, non-existent private business “successes” (e.g. companies that were set up, but which actually made no money), worthless business or other qualifications and/or “letters after the name”, such as meaningless “doctorates”, or a couple of years at the bottom level of the Bar, or even membership of bodies such as the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA), etc.

All of the above, plus an air of confidence, easily impresses provincial selection committees.

Even those MPs exposed (later, after having been selected and then “elected”) usually manage to shrug off their dishonesty. Look at Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, an egregious example. Invented or hugely embellished his education (rock-bottom poor at secondary level, and then made up a fake degree from an Italian university he never actually attended; also turned a corporate in-house course lasting 2 weeks into a “management diploma”). Then his embellishment of a very underwhelming military career. And so on.

The fact is that Liz Truss is only one of very many MPs who are, in reality, mediocre or worse, and have been right from the start.

The world is not without kind people” [Russian proverb].

I certainly agree with that. This ghastly mess should never have happened as it has developed. The Russian High Command and GRU should have eliminated the Jew Zelensky —and his corrupt and dictatorial coterie— before (just before) launching an all-out and swift advance, including mass paratroop landings, on Kiev. One single and massive knockout blow for the sake of mercy, to save the civilian population from attack and misery, and to achieve the main objective before the NWO/ZOG support from USA etc could be mobilized.

As for “her lawyer“, well that is or was the egregious Mark Lewis, now resident in Israel: see, e.g. https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/11/update-re-mark-lewis-lawyer-questions-are-raised/.

The case in which Mark Lewis acted for “Jack Monroe”, as her solicitor (I believe that he instructed both leading and junior Counsel who appeared in court as her advocates) was a not-very-difficult defamation action against social commentator Katie Hopkins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_v_Hopkins.

Ms. Hopkins had to sell her house to cover not the award made (only £24,000) but the c.£300,000 legal costs, being mainly those of the claimant (“plaintiff“, as was): see https://www.devonlive.com/news/property/katie-hopkins-luxury-devon-home-1526502.

I am not sure that I believe that “Bootstrap Cook” now has a lawyer, as such, but we shall see. She threatened to sue MP Lee Anderson [Con, Ashfield], and Martin Daubney, “alt-right” (?) political commentator, but that was in mid-May this year, seven months ago. In theory, “Jack Monroe” has time, until early to mid-May 2023, in which to issue proceedings, but the courts may not take kindly to issuance which is only just in time, and so far no preliminary correspondence has been received (I read), so it is unlikely that any action will now take place.

Here we are, 2000 years later, and Mammon still infects the house of Spirit…

As far as Boris-idiot is concerned, one can only agree.

These are the human carbuncles who purport to rule over us.

The Ukrainian side has “played a blinder” on propaganda. The Jewish regime in Kiev has managed to convince much of the Western world that Zelensky’s regime is a democratic government, with civil rights, despite the facts that all opposition parties are now banned, all opposition leaders in the country are under arrest and badly-treated, and any criticism of Zelensky or the war is met with arrest or worse.

Even the fact that a Ukrainian government negotiator was shot in the head in Kiev by Zelensky’s security people for being “pro-Russian” or “a Russian agent” has not damaged much the propaganda picture shown on Western television, because that incident was scarcely reported.

Despite the above, the propaganda picture effort is faltering now. More and more incidents or events have been shown up as completely fake: the “Ghost of Kiev” (non-existent), the Snake Island retort (never happened) and, more importantly, the whole narrative that Ukrainian forces are winning this war.

Ukrainian forces are losing at least as many men as the Russian Army, about 100 per day. Ukrainian forces may be (in the east of Ukraine) running out of fuel, ammunition, and food. The whole of Ukraine east of the Dnieper river and south of Kiev may soon be under Russian control.

A personal reminiscence

As noted yesterday, I happened to see the following YouTube video:

[Robert Powell, astrosophist, talking about, inter alia, the rise and fall of cultures and civilizations, and about astronomy, astrology, and astrosophy]

That is someone whom I met about 43 years ago, in or about 1979, at the Goetheanum, in Switzerland.

[Second Goetheanum, Dornach, near Basel, Switzerland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goetheanum]
[The Goetheanum at dusk]

I was at the time a frequent visitor to the Library of the Anthroposophical Society in Park Road, London (near Regent’s Park). The librarian there, on discovering that I was intending to fly to Basel and to visit the Goetheanum, said that Robert Powell was living there, and he would write to him to the effect that I might be arriving, and perhaps he could show me around.

I was aware of Powell, because he was known by me to be connected to the works of Valentin Tomberg [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentin_Tomberg].

Tomberg had settled, after WW2, in the mid-1940s, in the village (now a suburb) of Emmer Green, near Reading, Berkshire.

I myself was born, in 1956, at Reading. Now I discover (only yesterday) that Robert Powell was also born at Reading, at about the time that Tomberg settled in the area, in 1947.

As to my trip to Switzerland, I did go to the Goetheanum, arriving at Dornach [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornach] late in the day. I checked into the little inn by the railway station and then set off at once to see the famous Goetheanum.

In fact, I had not been able to arrange anything specific by way of meeting Robert Powell.

On approaching the main doors of the Goetheanum (huge, like those at the Lubyanka in Moscow), I saw that the building had closed for the day, but an attendant appeared and, hearing that I had just come from London, offered to show me the building.

My impression? A feeling that it was halfway between a museum (such as the British Museum) and what I supposed an ancient Egyptian temple might have felt like (rather than looked like).

After that tour, I was shown out and, near the doors of the building, out of the near-darkness, a young man appeared and (having never met me, nor seen a photo of me) asked whether I was Ian Millard! This was Robert Powell, someone with a slight air of mystery, but worn lightly.

Powell lived somewhere in the vicinity (I do not believe that I ever saw where), and was apparently friendly with a German girl who also lived locally, whom I met, and who kindly took time to show me a couple of places.

Despite his having things to do, over the next few days, Powell met me several times, and showed me a few of the local sights seen by few: some ruined small mediaeval castles; the small lake where, supposedly, Parsifal first saw the Fisher King, another site by that lake where a small rivulet ran through stone blocks which formed a floor: this was, I heard, the place where Siegmund and Sieglinde lived, and where, in legend, “a river ran through their kitchen“.

Powell also showed me a place in the hills (Dornach is in the foothills of the Jura Mountains) where there was a kind of natural platform, in the stone of the hill itself, where there was a kind of oblong chamber in the rock, about the size of a human being plus about 6 inches all round. There was also a seat cut into the stone by the oblong chamber. This, I was told, was where a priest-initiate of the ancient (Central European) Celtic Mysteries would sit, guarding the pupil of those Mysteries who would be for three days in a comatose state in the oblong chamber, experiencing occult initiation. Geothermal warmth heated the oblong, almost magically so.

The German girl mentioned took me to see a pleasant if slightly eccentric old lady who lived in a house close to the Goetheanum. She was of Russian extraction, I think, and had been there since the time of the building of the present Goetheanum in the 1920s (the first, wooden, one having burned down). In fact, she had herself known, or at least met, Rudolf Steiner, who started it all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Steiner.

I spent the last few days of my week in the district mostly alone. I had transferred from the railway inn to an almost deserted anthropop guesthouse (this was Autumn-time) to save money, Switzerland being rather expensive. I attended a eurythmy performance at nearby Arlesheim, returned to the Goetheanum for a longer look around, and had a look around the nearby city of Basel and saw the turbulent river Rhine—10 miles away—as well.

Interesting to see that Robert Powell is still around. The young man I encountered in Switzerland, and who is now author of many books on spirituality, astrosophy etc is still recognizable at the age of 74 or 75.

In fact he only became head of the National Union of Students in 2008, aged 25, because the Union of Jewish Students supported his candidature: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_Streeting.

One of the consequences of preventing almost anyone with ideas or independence from being selected as a System party candidate for Parliament is that only mediocrities, puppets, and complete idiots are selected. The pool of MPs is therefore composed largely of persons of those types.

Unwittingly satirical is the outfit, looking at the numbers of blacks who are trying to blag getting into Western Europe as “Ukrainian” “refugees”; Ireland has been stupid enough to allow in a number; maybe the UK as well.

I wonder what Rees-Mogg is thinking, as he stares down at that African woman, whom I presume (?) is some kind of diplomat.

Parachute him back into Eritrea, with a gratuity of a few US dollars in his pocket (if he goes quietly).

…says a Guyanese Sikh woman. Even the blacks and browns that are living comfortably in the UK seem often to hate us, our race, our culture, our history.

Be warned, though (looking at that Sinn Fein result). Sinn Fein are now about to take over in Northern Ireland. Why? Because the birth-rate of the Republican/Roman Catholic community has for many decades outstripped that of the Unionist/Protestant majority which will soon not be a majority.

The same, mutatis mutandis, in England. The blacks and browns are, in the time-worn phrase, “breeding like rabbits”. We are gradually being outnumbered. Yes, England is still maybe 80% White Northern European, but for how long (and how many of the whites are, in effect, “wiggers”)?

“Manon des Sources” used to retweet me before a Jew cabal plotted to have my Twitter account removed.

You still hear stupid people who want to believe that abortion is about removing something not really human, a kind of “jelly” (I have heard that a couple of times in the past from those who prefer comforting illusions to truth).
