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).

Poland reprising its 1939 performance? Madness.

If Poland fights against Russia in 2023, that would trigger a Russian response which might mean that there will be no Poland, and certainly no Warsaw, by 2024. In fact, Poland being now a member of NATO, it might just trigger WW3.

The SNP may have had its day in the sun, but it could reinvent itself if it became more social-national, opposed mass immigration and migration-invasion, binned non-whites/non-Brits such as Humza Yousaf as candidates and office-holders, and announced a policy of leaving NATO and closing down all RAF/USAF bases, as well as submarine bases, while asking Russia for closer relations. None of that will happen, of course.

Even worse are the self-important armed police, strutting around with their Heckler & Koch MP5s or other weapons. So, if there are suspected terrorists, will they just open up with automatic weapons in a crowded terminal? I hope not. They are basically there “for show”.

I recall being shocked, when aged about 22, and when I visited St. Paul’s for the first (and I think only) time, and found it had a revolving door like a busy hotel, and —inside— stalls selling souvenirs etc.

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” [Matthew 21:12-13]

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.

[Roerich, Overseas Guests, 1901; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Roerich]

On this day a year ago

Russia/Ukraine

Plenty of msm comment to the effect that Putin is washed-up, that there may be a coup d’etat etc. Hard to say.

Some of the “Putin is finished” comment (including that with origins in UK/US intelligence services) may be wishful thinking. There is no obvious replacement for Putin, as far as I can see. If there were, he would not live long once Putin noticed him!

We hear that the war in Ukraine is lost. Is it? The pockets of Ukrainian resistance in the south and south-east have just been stamped out. The UK msm may call the surrender of the Ukrainian forces at the Azovstal plant near Mariopol/Mariupol an “evacuation“, but few are fooled by the “transformative language”. The Ukrainian forces left alive surrendered to the Russian forces.

To my mind, there are two, maybe three, main factors why Russia has not used even more brutal tactics in order to win militarily in Ukraine. The first is that Ukraine, after all, was almost part of Russia, certainly very closely linked, for a thousand years or more, albeit that the history is complex: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Ukraine.

The second reason that Russia has not as yet pulled out all the stops is that use of the most brutal weapons and tactics (e.g. battlefield or tactical nuclear weapons, e.g. flattening completely all major Ukrainian cities not in Russian hands) might bring down NATO response despite the inherent dangers in that.

The third reason why Russia has not brought to bear all its enormous power is that Putin wants to take over at least something of a functioning agricultural and industrial economy after any Russian victory, an objective impossible of realization if the cities are totally destroyed, the population killed or driven out, or if the land itself is contaminated.

I note that the Jew Zelensky, puppet head of the Kiev regime, has now said that diplomacy, not war, is the way to end the conflict. Does that betoken a perceived weakness in the Ukrainian position on the ground, or does it mean that Zelensky’s cabal thinks that the Russian military position is weak? You could look at it either way.

Zelensky, however, has obviously been told not to cede any territory to Russia de jure, not even Crimea, where 90%+ of the population is Russian and only about 2% Ukrainian now.

Speculating here as advocatus diabolus, some in the Russian camp may be thinking of a “Devil’s alternative”— destroying Kharkov, and even Kiev, almost entirely, as well as other places, driving out the Ukrainian population, then eventually repopulating the part of Ukraine east of the Dnieper with Russian settlers.

That would be a terrible and almost Biblical scenario, but it has happened in Europe previously, most recently in 1944-1946, when German populations were killed and/or driven out of East Prussia, Galicia, Pomerania and Bohemia, replaced by Russians (Konigsberg, East Prussia/Kaliningradskaya oblast), Poles (East Prussia, Pomerania and Galicia), and Czechs (Bohemia/Sudetenland).

As to the “Jack Monroe” person, I think that some of her activity, trying to advise impoverished people about cooking very cheap food, is all to the good, but her apparent support for the State’s “panicdemic” measures is or was, in my opinion, negative. She was hardly alone, though.

All or almost all those prominent in the msm or on social media supported the lockdown/shutdown(s), the supposed “vaccine” etc. Many have now switched (most of) their virtue-signalling to “Ukraine” flag-waving.

Of course, most of Ukraine, even in the active war zones, is not devastated, not yet anyway. I hope that it will not be devastated. However, the funnelling of heavy armament by USA/UK etc (NWO/ZOG) to the Jew Zelensky’s Kiev regime will only prolong and intensify the agony, the harm and the loss to civilians, and the destruction of cities and towns.

Russia will probably still be able to take all of the part of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and Kiev as well, eventually.

So 1,000 missiles per day? At what point does a state supplying such weapons in such quantities become de facto an active participant in the war?

Of the above news items, the only really immediately significant one is that the tough, indeed brutal, Chechen fighters attached to the Russian effort claim to have taken the city hall of Mariupol, i.e. the central part of the city (pre-invasion population around 450,000).

Morale in at least part of the Russian invasion force has obviously been a problem, which is no doubt why Putin has drafted in the determined and relentless Chechens; it seems that battle-hardened Syrian volunteers, motivated (by money) and experienced, may arrive before too long. That may stiffen the Russian line.

The EU really is a bad joke now. If Ukraine is admitted, then it means that all the supposedly carefully-worked-out EU membership criteria (social and political stability, territorial integrity, no part of a country being under occupation, economic stability, stability of currency etc) are worth squat, to put it colloquially.

It also shows, pretty clearly, that the Russian occupiers are not the monsters that are being portrayed in the Western msm…

The civilians in the occupied cities are plainly not much afraid of the Russian troops.

The Western arms being sent to the Kiev regime may well result in localized, and even wider, defeats for Russian forces in the short term, but will result either in the Russian high command (historically, the Stavka) committing more troops and equipment to the war (as it now is) or (and/or) using very powerful bombs, missiles and artillery to flatten cities in the south and east of Ukraine and also to attack, from long distances, strategic targets in the west of Ukraine.

So far, the Russians have not much targeted such as railway stations, railway lines, and major road links from neighbouring countries, in the west of Ukraine.

Neither have whatever Putin has in the nature of the old Soviet Spetsnaz forces been used to assassinate the highest-ranking members of the Kiev regime.

In Soviet days, so-called “Olympic Spetsnaz” (many officers of which were or had been athletes in Olympic competition) were assigned to be used against targets of the highest strategic importance— early-warning stations, missile launch sites, nuclear power stations and manufacturing plants, and the assassination of heads of state, heads of government, high-ranking military and naval chiefs etc.

When push comes to shove, Putin is not going to back down. The only question is how far his (it seems not very competent) General Staff and intelligence apparat will back him. As I said weeks ago, Stalin would have been shooting generals and spy chiefs right and left by now.

Probably the same pack of malicious Jew trolls who have been tweeting (etc) against me for years: see a few experiences I have had in recent years: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/13/when-i-was-a-victim-of-a-malicious-zionist-complaint/; and see also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2017/07/09/the-slide-of-the-english-bar-and-uk-society-continues-and-accelerates/; and see also https://ianrobertmillard.org/2022/01/15/diary-blog-15-january-2022-including-an-outline-of-the-failure-of-the-latest-jew-zionist-attempt-to-prosecute-me/.

On Her Majesty’s Not Very Secret Service

I happened to see this 2021 Daily Mail article by Craig Brown [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Brown_(satirist)]: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-10487439/CRAIG-BROWN-spy-licence-tweet-MI6.html.

By chance, if you like, I have just finished reading the 2016 biography, Spymaster [https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/nov/11/spymaster-martin-pearce-mi6-maurice-oldfield], by Martin Pearce, the nephew of the subject. Incidentally, good value; bought used via Amazon— only about £6 even including postage for a hardback copy in almost new condition.

That book is well written, workmanlike, but unexciting. It covers much the same ground as “C”, an earlier and far more interesting study, written in 1985 by “Richard Deacon” [Donald McCormick; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_McCormick], an interesting writer whose books on espionage etc are always very readable.

Deacon’s book delved into Oldfield’s interest in astrology and numerology. For me, that was one of its most interesting areas. The more recent book ignores that area of Oldfield’s mind completely, which I think is a weakness in it.

The strengths of the 2016 book lie in its having more up to date material, and in the fact that the author could tell a few anecdotes about his uncle. Not enough, for me, and having read the earlier book long ago, as well as other material, I found the 2016 book rather derivative.

As for the now-tiresome recounting of what is publicly known about those over-rated people Philby, Burgess, Maclean, and Blunt, for me that was like seeing a merely so-so film for the tenth time.

Other aspects of the intelligence history (and indeed, general history) of the 20thC, I found very shallow indeed, and there were a couple of plain errors.

I don’t want to knock Pearce’s book too much. It is a fairly good read, and worth reading at that, but personally I would not give it more than 3 stars out of 5.

As for that Craig Brown article, I agree with much of what he says, but his points are weakened when he says that, for example, Maxwell Knight [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_Knight] was “head of MI5“. Perhaps he should have been Director-General [“D-G”], but in fact he never was, though he was ranked as a director of the (then-small) MI5 in the 1920s.

When journalists and other scribblers cannot get basic facts right, it irritates, and makes the reader feel that their opinions are superficial (though, as said, I myself did agree with much of Brown’s article).

Incidentally, Martin Pearce has written but one other book, and that was about the Malayan Emergency [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayan_Emergency], focussing on its military and intelligence aspects.

I do not know whether Martin Pearce was (or is) in the same line of business as his uncle; neither Amazon nor the dust jacket of Spymaster give any detail at all about his education, residence, hobbies, or occupation.

Late tweets

In warm or hot weather “the natives (who are not actually native to these islands) get restless“…

One gets very tired seeing endless pictures and videos of that corrupt and evil Jew manipulator.

Paris is slowly (?) becoming a zoo, just like London, Berlin, Stockholm and other European capitals corrupted by NWO/ZOG misrule, and migration-invasion.
