Russia has made a key battlefield breakthrough in Ukraine as Vladimir Putin races to secure as much as land as possible before Friday’s Alaska summit with US President Donald Trump that could finally end war after three gruelling years.

Moscow has reportedly already seized more than 10 kilometres (six miles) of land in its lightning offensive. 

The Ukrainian military estimates some 110,000 Russian troops are advancing in the direction of Pokrovsk in what may prove to be a major breakthrough for Vladimir Putin.

As noted before on the blog, the front-lines of the Kiev regime are crumbling. Losses amount to 1,000-3,000 men daily, and there are large-scale desertions, despite the risks, and severe penalties if caught. To remain in place is a near death sentence, and that is why most men in Ukraine try to avoid or evade the draft. The regime uses press-gangs to kidnap potential recruits off the streets.

Zelensky’s regime of Jew-Zionists, and thick-set Ukrainian thugs, cannot last. The leading members will either flee to other countries or will be captured and dealt with.

A Nigerian man who sexually assaulted a young woman next to Bournemouth beach has been spared jail because of his ‘troubled background and difficult life’.

Ayomide Famakinde, 23, was given a community order by the judge who said the offence was a ‘momentary aberration’.

Famakinde had approached his 19-year-old victim late at night in the Dorset seaside town in August 2022, and put his hands down her jogging bottoms.

As the 19-year-old tried to fight him off, they fell to the ground. 

Famakinde ignored her ‘shouts’ to stop and carried on until he was pulled off the victim by his friend. The two men then walked off together while the teenager was left in tears. 

The victim told Bournemouth Crown Court Famakinde had ‘ruined her life’ and she ‘no longer feels safe walking alone’. 

But a judge ruled the offence was a ‘momentary aberration’ and the defendant had a ‘very troubled background and difficult life’.

Famakinde, a gym instructor from south London, was given an 18-month community order and ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work, as it was deemed that a custodial sentence would be too severe.”

Shadows on the wall of the cave.

There has to be a reason why “they” have been expelled from about 109 states and territories in world history.

[“Foreign Policy magazine published an article titled:

“The next war between Iran and Israel is approaching.”

Iran is preparing for this attack and, unlike the previous war, this time intends to deliver powerful strikes from the very first hours to show that there will be no military occupation by Israel.

The war is predicted to be significantly bloodier than the previous one. If Donald Trump, under pressure from Israel, decides to intervene, the US risks getting involved in a conflict that will be more severe than the war in Iraq.

Key points of the article:

Israel’s June attacks had three goals: to draw the US into a direct war with Iran; to overthrow the Iranian leadership; to turn the country into a “convenient target” like Syria or Lebanon, which can be bombed without US intervention. Only the first goal was fully achieved — and even then, only partially.

Contrary to Israel’s expectations, Trump limited himself to one operation against nuclear facilities and refused to expand the war, forcing Tel Aviv to agree to a truce.

Israel failed to destroy the Iranian state system: even after the assassination of commanders and scientists, Iran quickly restored its military structure and carried out large-scale missile strikes, which, on the contrary, strengthened national unity in the country.

Israel lost part of its air superiority and suffered serious losses in its missile defense system. The US had to transfer 25% of the THAAD missile defense system to its ally within 12 days.

Now Israel will likely try to attack before Iran completes the restoration of its missile and defense capabilities.

Iran threatens a swift and harsh response to disrupt Israel’s “lawn mowing” strategy — regular preemptive strikes.

Article conclusion: The outcome of the next war will depend on who recovers forces faster and closes defense gaps. For Trump, in the second conflict, there will be no “middle ground” — either full intervention or complete refusal to participate.“]

[“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”]

What goes around comes around. Israel is doomed. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but quite soon, I think.

Not enough. Russia must control all Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

Fact is, Trump needs Putin far more than Putin needs Trump.

“Zapad” means “West” in Russian (and Belorussian).

Even so, “Greater Israel” is not supposed to include London, Paris and other European cities…

Only 52%?! It shows how crushed Germany has been since 1945.

…but Goodwin never mentions the primary driver against free speech in the UK— the Jew-Zionist pro-Israel element. At least be honest, Goodwin.

Starmer-stein will continue to bring in “measures” which, though ineffective, can make headlines, and lead on TV news.

Would give Reform UK around 300 MPs, but not a clear Commons majority. Labour around 140, Cons around 90.

Stray thought

I wonder whether the vitriol he has recently been experiencing from the Zionist Jews has woken James O’Brien up a little to the menace to free speech that they represent?

Israeli war crimes. Whether the overall war on civilians be called or labelled a “genocide” or not is almost immaterial. The cruelty and/or sadistic brutality of the Israeli Jews (and that of the Jew-Zionist support cabals in Europe, North America etc) speaks for itself.

Rubio is a staunch supporter of Israel. He is a co-sponsor of a Senate resolution expressing objection to the UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which condemned Israeli settlement building in the occupied Palestinian territories as a violation of international law.[328] Rubio condemned Hamas’s October 2023 attack on Israel and expressed his support for Israel and its right to self-defense.[329] He called for the complete eradication of Hamas in Gaza.[330] When asked if there was a way to stop Hamas without causing massive civilian casualties in Gaza,[331] Rubio said Israel cannot coexist “with these savages…. They have to be eradicated.”[332]

A bloody Cuban.

Rubio is a semi-lunatic and, like almost all prominent American politicians, a puppet of Israel and the American Jewish lobby.

[“An Israeli official told the Jerusalem Post: “Turkey’s agreement to purchase 40 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets isn’t a game-changing threat to our Air Force. The Typhoon is a capable but not superior aircraft compared to our fighter jets. But it’s a clear and worrying signal that Turkey is accelerating its arms buildup in a way that could eventually challenge Israel’s military edge in the region. The deal isn’t an immediate threat, but still a headache for Israel”.]

This is the sort of thing that matters, not well-meaning people holding up placards in the UK to protest against the evil actions of the Israeli Jews in Gaza or the West Bank.

Eventually, both Turkey and Iran will have the means available to stamp on Israel and kill it off, very likely, notwithstanding Israel’s nuclear capabilities. Iran’s power rests, at long distance, on missiles, presently conventional, but perhaps eventually nuclear; Turkey’s power rests mainly on very powerful, and becoming more powerful, conventional forces; millions of soldiers, 2,500 tanks, and ever-more-powerful military air fleets.

I fully expect the Jews to be driven out of the Middle East eventually, but that will not, of course, be the final chapter.

Does Trump really think it effective grand strategy to threaten Russia, China, and Brazil (among other states) at the same time?

[“Peter Kyle – Labour MP for Hove and Portslade (East Sussex). Peter has been an MP for ten years and is now the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology. Peter previously worked for children’s charities and helped set up an orphanage in Rumania. He held senior positions while Labour were in opposition. Peter is also a Parliamentary ‘officer’ and Vice Chair of Labour Friends of Israel. Peter was a persistent critic of Jeremy Corbyn when he was leader of the party. The @ElectoralCommUK donations page shows that Peter has received £270,596.59 in donations and perks. In 2023/24/25 these have included: £118,433.22 from the Labour donor, banker and founder of Albourne Partners Simon Ruddick. £16,000 from international banker Anthony Watson. £13,000 from the @CWU, £99.840 from @PublicDigitalHQ to cover a staff secondment. The individual concerned was a ‘policy fellow’ at the Trevor Chinn funded/Morgan McSweeney run consortium; @LabourTogether £5,000 from banker and Chief Executive of Coutts & Co. Michael Morley £5,000 from Baron Patrick Carter. £15,000 from Simon Kime. £10,000 from Labour donor Lord Matthew Oakenshott. £10,000 from political donor Susan Ruddick. £13,665.57 from Lord David Sainsbury for international trips by air and on the Eurostar. £3,584 in hospitality and tickets from The Football Association for the Brit Awards and Taylor Swift and Madonna concerts.£1,835 from @SkyArts for hospitality and tickets to various events. £2,758.95 from the intelligence linked firm @HakluytCompany for a trip to San Francisco to meet with personnel from the tech industry. With his £93,904 salary, expenses, allowances, perks and very generous donations, there’s no doubt that Peter is living the good life as a Labour MP. ‘Poverty in Hove, part of Brighton & Hove, is a significant issue, with child poverty rates being a particular concern…Brighton & Hove has higher levels of pensioner poverty than the national average and contains the ward with the highest level of pensioner poverty.’ On 9th July 2025, Peter voted for the welfare/PIP cuts that will result in further distress and hardship for people who are disabled and unwell. Peter also voted to scrap the #WinterFuelPayment to pensioners and voted to retain the two child benefit cap which ‘significantly contributes to child poverty’ in the UK. @UKLabour @peterkyle.”]

…and which (((group))) is pushing that the hardest, at root?

I had already considered that possibility. Would probably give Reform over 300 —maybe even 350— MPs, Labour perhaps 100, Cons and LibDems about 75 each, and the new “Corbyn” party maybe (at most) 10. Something like that. Not as much difference as one might have imagined, but cementing Reform’s presently-likely triumph.

[“Everything Corbyn always was in a nutshell. Never a leader, always an activist. And whilst I think Gaza is an abomination and tragedy beyond measure and I personally would’ve both suspended arms to Israel and sent the Israeli Ambo home by now, it does not belong in the mission statement of a new British party. He’s had a lifelong obsession with Palestine and lost his political career over anti-Semitism. It will continue to cost him. Who isn’t in favour of helping Gaza? Nobody.”]

Who isn’t in favour of helping Gaza? Nobody.”

Really? Nobody?!

The lady tweeter seems to have forgotten about Israel, certainly the Netanyahu government, almost certainly most of the Israeli Jews, and (probably) most of the Jews in the UK and elsewhere.

As far as Corbyn being an “antisemite” is concerned, I wish he had been; he might then not have been so easily removed by a conspiracy consisting of Labour Friends of Israel MPs, murky Jew-Zionist orgs circling like vultures overhead, and Israel-lobby msm scribblers, talking heads etc; also, pro-Israel mass media platform-owners such as Murdoch, Desmond and others …

From my perspective, Corbyn is not really “antisemitic” at all, or only marginally.

Wow” indeed…if that opinion poll is accurate (and it may be), Reform would get 436 MPs at a general election (a Commons majority of 110), Labour 78, LibDems 55, SNP 37, Cons 15, Greens 4 (etc).

Any result like that would certainly spell the end of the long-lived Con Party, would knock the stuffing out of Labour, and would write Reform UK a blank cheque (subject only to the House of Lords, where Reform has no peers at all, out of 836 peers at present. However, Farage could just create hundreds of new Reform peers, or simply abolish the Lords).

Among the hundreds of Labour MPs who would be booted out would be Stephen Kinnock, Angela Rayner, Dan Jarvis, Jess Phillips, Ed Miliband, Luke Akehurst, Stephen Timms, Andrew Gwynne, Bridget Phillipson, Liz Kendall, Nia Griffith, Maria Eagle, Angela Eagle, Lucy Powell, Yvette Cooper, Anna Turley, Paul Waugh, Sarah Champion, Kim Leadbeater, Gareth Snell, Torsten Bell, Emma Reynolds, Wes Streeting etc.

Interestingly, Starmer-stein might survive, but no doubt would resign as Labour leader. He would not be interested in staying on anyway.

Prominent Cons in the bin would include Dunce Duncan Smith, Mel Stride (the Con “moderates'” great white hope), Kemi Badenoch (present Con leader and “great non-white hopeless”), Suella Braverman, Jesse Norman, Oliver Dowden, Julian Lewis, Desmond Swayne (my own local MP, and entirely useless, though I do not disagree with him on everything), Jewish-lobby puppet Robert Jenrick, Rishi Sunak, Mark Francois, Andrew Rosindell, the deadhead Gavin Williamson, “chocolate soldier” Tom Tugendhat, Nick Timothy, James Cleverly, Alex Burghart, David Davis, Jewish-lobby minor puppet Alec Shelbrooke etc.

Some LibDems and Greens would also be binned, but none of them is of the slightest consequence.

If “Carpetbagger Kemi” does that, the Con Party, presently on 16% public support (almost all of which consists of people over State Pension age), will fall to 6%. Oblivion.

Incidentally, David Gauke, yet another puppet of the Jewish lobby, yet another expenses cheat, yet another shameless freeloader, was chucked out of Parliament in 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Gauke; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_West_Hertfordshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2010s.

Chilling Pentagon documents may reveal why the ‘Deep State’ has always feared the release of the John F. Kennedy assassination files.

A 12-page report, signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) in 1962, details a secret plan to commit heinous acts against American citizens to justify war with Cuba in the 1960s.

Code-named Operation Northwoods, this top-secret plot proposed enacting terrorism on US cities in a what is known as a ‘false flag operation’, before blaming Cuba in order to fool the Americans into supporting war efforts to oust communist Fidel Castro.

JFK rejected Operation Northwoods when it came across his desk and was shot.

A conspiracy theory surrounding JFK’s assassination claims he was killed by Israel which allegedly controls the US ‘Deep State.’ 

Now, President Donald Trump has promised to release all classified documents relating to JFK’s assassination, which could potentially lead to more shocking revelations about the US government’s activities during the 1960s.

If—

By Rudyard Kipling

(‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)

“If you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;   

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   

    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

    And treat those two impostors just the same;   

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!”

Wes Streeting, and his fellow Labour Friends of Israel members in Starmer’s hapless hopeless Government, are just empty vessels, making much noise. Even their noise, though, strikes me as being of the past, a tired rehash of Blair-Brown-ism mixed with rather a lot of Cameron-Levita/Osborne pseudo-“austerity” nonsense.

Starmer-Labour has nothing at all to offer the British people (as I predicted a year ago).

They are still, also, pushing the obviously false, untrue, mantra, “Diversity is our strength“, which only the very dim and/or totally deluded still believe.

Not quite the same as my solution…

In the phrase of Katie Hopkins, “Bonkers Batshit Britain“…

According to Electoral Calculus, that would mean about 303 Labour seats, 138 Reform UK, 91 Con, 71 LibDem. So probably a Lab minority government with LibDem support, but possibly a Labour minority govt. with support from SNP and other minor parties. Labour would have to get a dozen or two dozen votes from somewhere.

Reform UK would be the official Opposition either way, on those figures.

Assuming that the reports are correct (they seem to be), and that the longstanding government of the Assad family in Syria has fallen, there now stands only Iran against the Jewish state of Israel.

It is very much connected with mass immigration (the migration-invasion), and with the agenda of making the UK a multikulti, multiracial, and fairly poor country, with most of the economic benefit of its economy going to about 5%, if not 1%, of the population. That 1%, or even 5%, is mainly, though not exclusively, non-European. It includes many of “the usual suspects” (((them))).

Jorge sadly died in hospital two days later on Friday, December 6.

Jorge’s family paid tribute to him yesterday (December 7) in a statement released by his son, saying: “Our dad was the most loving person, the kindest soul you could have the pleasure of meeting. Everyone who has met our dad or who has ever worked with him over the years will tell you this.

“He had a brilliant mind, enjoyed cooking, loved drawing, and was highly skilled in art. He was an amazing family man and would always put other people first. He loved his grandchildren, and in turn, they adored our dad. He was totally devoted to our mum and loved her beyond what words can describe.

British Transport Police officers were called to Ilford Station following reports of a serious assault on Wednesday. Paramedics and members of the Air Ambulance attended, and Jorge was rushed to hospital with serious head injuries.

28-year-old Ayodele Jamgbadi of Kingston Road in Ilford was arrested the next day and has been charged. He will appear at Inner London Crown Court on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.

U.S. Presidential Election

Writing before 0500 hrs (“Smersh Never Sleeps“), and with a number of states yet to declare, it is clear nonetheless that Kamala Harris is not going to win. So it is going to be President Trump. Again.

Now let’s stop the wars in Ukraine (number one priority, because of the risk of a general European war, and even a Russia-NATO nuclear war) and in the Middle East.

The Middle East will require both intensive diplomacy and a far stricter attitude towards Israel. No more “tail wags dog”.

As for Ukraine, the war can be stopped by simply taking away Zelensky’s ricebowl. Without Western money, arms, and ammunition, the Kiev regime will grind to a halt within weeks. Just do it.

National Geographic will be streaming a new documentary about an unlikely bond between a man and an otter in Shetland.

Billy Mail met Molly, a starving pup, in 2021 when he saw her jumping off a pontoon into the sea near his Shetland home. Mail wanted to see how close he could get to her before she fled. But it turned out that Molly had no intention of running away.

She was starving and alone, Mail said. “She had a lack of fear that was really interesting because otters are normally pretty scared. I think it was just desperation. She needed food.”

But even after she regained her strength and was fending for herself, Molly kept visiting the Mails and became a “breath of fresh air” in their lives.”

Nganjo Endeley grabbed his 21-year-old victim’s shirt so tightly that he struggled to breathe before fracturing his eye socket with a powerful headbutt. Newcastle Crown Court heard the waiter suffered a “huge amount of pain” and has been left with a visible dent to his forehead, which is too risky to operate on.

The 41-year-old married medic, described in court as a “physically imposing man”, was found guilty of assault after a trial but escaped jail after a judge said refences show he behaved “out of character” that night. The court heard the doctor, of Bowburn, County Durham, has a previous conviction for common assault in 2001 and was cautioned for criminal damage in 2007.

Suspended sentence, and a fine which a doctor can pay easily. The judge said that the violence was “out of character“— how so, when the defendant has 2 previous proven criminal incidents on his record, including one assault?

Lest we forget…

So who’s wrong (yet again), Rory Stewart??

See also:

Rory Stewart [in effect]: “I was wrong but I was really right...”

People such as Rory Stewart can never believe that they are wrong wrong wrong, and that the reason that they are wrong wrong wrong in their predictions about things is because they are wrong wrong wrong ideologically and because they simply do not understand the “ordinary” people anything like as much as they believe they do. Also, they are misled by their own biases.

In short, people such as Rory Stewart, and the (other) msm scribblers and talking heads and System politicos are incapable of thinking objectively. They believe what they want to believe, e.g. re. immigration and/or migration-invasion.

As for Starmer, his weakness in allowing MPs and SpAds to go to the USA to help the Kamala Harris campaign will now lead to some kind of payback from the Trump administration, and no amount of Starmer weaselling will be able to change that.

Eerie, those sirens, and the scuttling crowds. Rather like my occasional bad dreams, but played out in bright sunlight.

The Israeli defences seem to be weakening.

If even Hezbollah, a non-state actor, can attack, successfully, Israel’s main international airport, then what will happen if and when Iran attacks?

Goodnight, Vienna Kamala Harris!

Here we go (as predicted from the start on this blog)…

Historic.

Kamala Harris thus joins the crowd of failed Presidential candidates, such as Dukakis, who become obscure also-rans.

For me, leaving aside the necessity to stop the drift towards a third world war, the best thing about the Trump victory is seeing all the msm scribblers and talking heads look so horrified and astonished. Rory Stewart is the template. At least he had the courage to appear on TV and —at least sort-of— admit that he was wrong. Most will be trying to forget their wrong predictions and expressed wishes.

Look at that self-describing “Dem strategist” aged 27 (and a half?), one Ally Sammarco. Same type that become SpAds in the UK. The British version usually has an Oxford or Cambridge degree (almost all of which are now, purely nominally, “Firsts” or 2:1), probably in some “back of a postcard” subject. No background, no experience, no ability to think outside the box.

Priceless. Look at those faces! Ha ha!

Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell (the latter of which duo should be punished for his crimes against the peoples of Britain, Iraq and other countries).

The people of Britain dodged a bullet when Stewart’s political career crashed and burned. Napoleon always asked of any general, “is he lucky?” If nothing else, and despite his “silver spoon” upbringing and early life, as a political figure Stewart is the opposite of lucky.

I have no idea who “John/@TurnsIntoStone” might be, but glad to see he likes my rather popular assessment of Rory Stewart, which includes many updates (tacked onto it since the original publication in 2019).

Stray thought about Trump

For me, loyalty is key. I am not so sure that Trump thinks the same way.

Were I in Trump’s shoes, my first action as President of the USA would be to pardon all those convicted in Federal courts for actions supporting me [Trump, that is]. Both the Trump partisans as such, and also the more “social-national” prisoners, whether Trump partisans or not.

Pardon them all. They will then follow you to the ends of the Earth.

Fanatical Jew-Zionist extremist (ex-Daily Mail, now editor of the Jewish Chronicle) seems to believe that Britain should “defend” Israel! The sheer gall of “them”! Why should the UK “defend” Israel? This country would be better off were Israel to disappear into history.

The Daily Telegraph is just another mouthpiece or megaphone for Jewish Zionism.

The Palestine-resident (and other) Jews were committing acts of terrorism against British soldiers and civilians even when the Second World War was still ongoing, and later continued and intensified their terroristic activities, kidnapping and hanging British soldiers, blowing up the British HQ in Jerusalem, and attempting to poison the water supply in London, among other acts of terrorism and barbarity.

During the Falklands campaign of 1982, the Israeli state sold French Exocet missiles to Argentina, missiles which killed British soldiers and sailors.

[Falkland Islands Association]

Israel, both directly and via Jews with nominal British citizenship, and living in the UK, has suborned the two main System political parties of the UK, promoting Jewish and Israeli interests above those of real English/British people.

The above is no more than the tip of the iceberg.

In short, Israel is not an ally of the UK but its enemy, an enemy all the more dangerous for having a “fifth column” inside UK society.

For those who have not seen it, a 2-hour reminiscence by acclaimed historian David Irving:

Irving’s reminiscences are very interesting, not least on the scientific evidence establishing that the “gas chambers” of Auschwitz never were that; also about the selling to the world audience of the word “holocaust” as relating to the repression of Jewry in the years 1942-1944 (the word was rarely or never used in that connection until the early 1970s). Also, about how the supposed “gas chamber” at Auschwitz, visited with fake reverence by millions of (mostly American and Western European) tourists, was only built in 1948, 3 years after WW2 ended, and about how it is, in Irving’s words, “as genuine as the castle at Disneyland“… (there was belatedly placed a plaque on that Auschwitz building, stating that it is indeed a postwar “reconstruction”).

The USA and the West generally are rowing back now on support for the Kiev regime. They are still funnelling money and arms to Zelensky’s cabal, but the aim is now not even to expel Russian forces from Eastern Ukraine and Crimea; the most that might be realistic is for the war to stop —or not stop— but on the present front-lines.

There never was, of course, any possibility that the shambolic Kiev-regime forces might seize and retain large areas of Russia, let alone advance on Moscow. That’s for the birds.

Russian forces are poised to advance, either in the winter, or next year, in the summer of 2025. In the meantime, the electrical supply infrastructure, and the transport infrastructure, of Ukraine will be further degraded. The whole of Eastern Ukraine might finally fall to Russia before very long.

The NWO/ZOG states of the West want to keep “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) fighting, but without any hope of military victory.

Few, if any, seem to be getting past the Israeli anti-rocket defences, but the aim may be to deplete the number of anti-missile missiles the Israelis have. I have no idea whether the Israelis have almost unlimited defensive rockets or not.

Pine martens

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/oct/01/pine-martens-return-to-dartmoor-after-150-year-absence

Pine martens return to Dartmoor after 150-year absence.

Fifteen of the nimble, tree-climbing mammals were released last month at secret locations in Devon.

Fifteen pine martens are darting through the woods of Dartmoor for the first time in 150 years after the rare but recovering species was reintroduced into south-west England.

The nimble, tree-climbing mustelids were released last month at secret locations in the steep, tree-lined valleys of Devon in what conservationists are hailing as a historic step in the restoration of the region’s woodlands.

“We haven’t had pine martens here for 150 years, and to see them moving out into this landscape to explore it and find their way is really exciting,” said Ed Parr Ferris, conservation manager at Devon Wildlife Trust, which is leading a partnership of seven conservation organisations returning the marten to south-west England.

The eight adult females and seven males were caught from resurgent populations in Scotland, meticulously checked for health, and driven to 10 woodland pens, where they were released under the cover of darkness well away from people and busy roads. The threat of road traffic is a big risk for the mostly nocturnal animals.

Fitted with GPS or radio tags depending on their size (lighter radio tags were used on the smaller individuals), the animals were fed in the pens for three days to acclimatise, before the doors were opened and the martens slipped away into the night.

Pine martens were driven to extinction in England at the turn of the 20th century by the loss of forests and persecution, with gamekeepers in particular targeting the animals for preying upon pheasants and poultry.

Iranian attack on Israel

Puzzling to an observer. It seems that the attack was mostly if not entirely on military targets. The Israelis are keeping the scale of the damage secret. I had thought that there would be a large number of civilian casualties (as when the Israelis attack Lebanon, Gaza, Syria etc) but it seems that hardly any Israelis have been killed or even injured.

I have seen no indication of whether the Dimona nuclear weapons plant was hit.

Likewise, it seems odd that the main international airport suffered no, or no substantial, damage. I should have thought that that would have been a priority target.

Looking on from outside, it is hard to fully understand both the overall situation and the details, such as how many rockets (and of what type) Iranian forces have; likewise on the Israeli side.

All one can do is to keep looking out for news.

At least Cleverly is rather less vocal in his support for Israel and the Jewish lobby.

I suppose that most scribblers and msm talking heads are expecting the Conservative Party to revive as Starmer’s hopeless government continues to falter (after only 3 months), but that may not happen.

For me, the most telling aspect of GE 2024 is that, in broad terms, out of every 20 eligible voters, 8 decided not to vote at all. Beyond that, out of the 12 that did vote, only 4 voted “Labour”, only 3 voted “Conservative”, and then 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 (just about) voted Green.

At present, the underwhelming Reform UK is the only game in town in terms of becoming an unofficial populist Opposition. The LibDems are just beneficiaries of a ridiculously illogical voting system. The “don’t know how to vote so vote LibDem” party.

None of the 4 contenders for Conservative Party leadership are really of any importance; none —say I— will ever be Prime Minister.

The Second World War was disastrous in many ways: including the destruction of the German Reich; the reinforcement of Stalinism not only in the Soviet Union but also across both Eastern and Central Europe; the huge human and animal cost in terms of death, injury, and other harm; the destruction of the very concept of “Central Europe” [“Mitteleuropa”] for nearly two generations; the collapse of the civilized European empires across Africa, Asia, and elsewhere; the huge environmental, wildlife and human cost of decolonization; the near-squeezing-out from Europe of European-centred ideology between American finance-capitalism and Marxist-Leninist Sovietism; the 1948 establishment of the state of Israel, and the consequent increase of Jewish wealth, influence and power in the world generally; the shrinking proportion of white Northern Europeans as against the general population of the world.

Today, we again stand on the brink of European and “world” war. If it were to happen, and whether it were to start in the Middle East or Eastern Europe, or even in the Far East, it would be more disastrous in its consequences even than were the previous two “world” wars.

Labour Friends of Israel Starmer/Reeves/Cooper etc will later launch their version of “stop the boats”, meaning set up “processing centres” in France which will rubberstamp 90% of intending migrant-invaders as “legal migrants”. The few not so “legalized” will continue to use the rubber-boat method of getting here anyway.

The migration-invasion is all part of a System plan, the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan:

“The Kalergi Plan, sometimes called the Coudenhove-Kalergi Conspiracy,[1] is a…far-rightantisemiticwhite genocide conspiracy theory.[2][3] The theory claims that Austrian-Japanese politician Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, creator of the Paneuropean Union, concocted a plot to mix and replace white Europeans with other races via immigration.

The…theory stems from a section of Kalergi’s 1925 book Praktischer Idealismus (“Practical Idealism”), in which he predicted that a mixed race of the future would arise: “The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today’s races and classes[a] will gradually disappear…

 …Coudenhove-Kalergi intended to influence Europe’s policies on immigration in order to create a “populace devoid of identity” which would then…be ruled by a Jewish elite.

Ukraine

https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-kursk-breakthrough-russia-1957732

Ukrainian paratroopers fighting in Russia’s Kursk region have “broken through” into a new, unspecified section of the Russian border, a Ukrainian brigade said Monday as battles rage on inside Russia and various parts of eastern Ukraine.

Fighters with Ukraine’s 95th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade “have broken through a section of the Russian border,” the brigade said in a post to the messaging app Telegram.

This is the second successful operation to break through the Russian border since the start of the operation in the Kursk region of Russia,” the brigade said. The Ukrainian brigade did not specify where along the border fighters had “broken through” or when the reported operation took place.

Ukraine is more than six weeks into its surprise incursion into Kursk, which borders the country’s northeast. Kyiv said in early September that it had captured 100 settlements and around 500 square miles of territory as Moscow sluggishly attempted to fend off the advance.

In recent weeks, Western analysts have suggested that Russia has reclaimed territory south of Korenovo, which, along with the town of Sudzha to the southeast, was a focus of Ukraine’s push.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this past Friday that the offensive against Kursk had pulled approximately 40,000 Russian soldiers into the area.

[Newsweek]

I see few if any analyses in the msm as to the Kiev-regime strategic plan in relation to the Kursk incursion.

After all, Russia is not some sparsely-populated part of Africa, almost a terra nullius. It would be simply impossible, to take the thought ad absurdum, for the Kiev regime to push beyond Kursk city; and even if that were ever to happen, what then? Advance the remaining 327 miles (527 km) to Moscow? How would the Kiev regime keep its columns supplied? How could it ward off flanking attacks? Answer: it couldn’t.

Also, having (notionally) reached the Moscow region, how could a few thousands or tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops take and then control a city with an urban population of about 18M, and a metro-area population of 22M? (with many more millions in the region). Answer: they could not.

Of course, my argument is rather a straw man; the idea of the Kiev-regime forces getting even beyond the city of Kursk (and they have not even managed to get that far so far) is ridiculous. They have neither the manpower nor the resupply capability.

Incidentally, the Russian Army, overall, has an active host of about 1.5M soldiers, not including all reserves and quite-easily-mobilized others.

My main point is that Zelensky’s Kursk incursion has no strategic sense behind it. There is no point to it beyond (as I blogged when it happened, 6 weeks ago) making a public relations display to the Western states supplying the Kiev regime with money, arms, ammunition, and other materiel.

We are told that the big idea behind the Kursk incursion was to draw away Russian troops from the Donetsk front. Well, all right (and it is at least claimed that the Russians have redeployed 40,000 troops to the Kursk region, though it is unclear what proportion were from the Donetsk front), but Russian forces are still advancing strongly on the Donetsk front, even without the transferred 40,000 or however many.

As far as I can see, the Kursk incursion was strategically misconceived and achieves nothing, and would achieve nothing even were Russian troops to simply withdraw and allow the Kiev-regime forces to remain in loose occupation of the border area in that sector, or even the whole of the Kursk oblast.

Of course, Putin and his Stavka (high command) cannot do that (withdraw, in the manner of Kutuzov) because Russian public opinion would not allow it (the apparent conquest of Russian territory, unchallenged).

It is all very well to say that “Russia does not have public opinion” but even a near-autocrat such as Putin must take his people’s sensibilities into account.

The “smart move” would be to withdraw and withdraw into the Russian prostor (endless space), but that is politically impossible. The Russian forces therefore block further Kiev-regime advances in the Kursk region, while pounding the resupply route or routes to the west, inside Ukraine itself, in the border area.

On the Donetsk front, the Kiev-regime forces are falling back: https://www.slobodenpecat.mk/en/ruskata-armija-uspea-da-ja-probie-ukrainsakta-odbrana-kaj-ugledar/.

The same goes for the hundreds of millions of pounds thrown away by government on Islamic and Jewish institutions and locations.

I too expected Starmer-Labour to crash and burn fairly quickly, and said so on the blog well prior to the 2024 General Election, as well as immediately following it.

Firstly, because only 4 out of 20 people voted Labour in 2024; secondly, because Labour’s “diversity”/pro-Israel/”austerity”/pro-immigration policies are all the exact opposite of what most people want; thirdly, the sheer rock-bottom quality of most Labour MPs and ministers. Lammy is only one of many such.

Starmer and his freeloading cabal are smug inside their fake “landslide” Commons majority. They think nothing can touch them for 4 years or more. That is what the “Conservative” Party MPs thought about their own situation not so long ago.

Apres— le deluge

A lot of that is because Starmer was a barrister from age 24 (having been to university for both a first degree and a post-graduate one): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer.

As a former barrister myself (later wrongfully and unlawfully disbarred for political reasons at the behest of the Jewish lobby), I was sometimes surprised at how naive many barristers are, especially those who (unlike me) had never done any other kind of work.

Even today, when the Bar is more “diverse” (and far less prestigious) than it used to be, it remains to some extent a cloistered bubble. Starmer spent his professional life in that bubble before swapping it for another bubble, the Westminster Bubble.

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

Look at his reactions to the street protests. He immediately retreated into his comfort zone (he was DPP for several years) and started to threaten people with long sentences of imprisonment and (quite wrongly) “no bail pending trial and/or sentence”.

Even before GE 2024, I was warning about Starmer on the blog, noting Khrushchev’s view of Malenkov and about how to elevate the “file clerk type” to supreme power was always a mistake.

Starmer is isolated psychologically for a number of reasons. His professional Bar background. His years as DPP and, before that, as “human rights adviser” to the police and (I think, not sure) MI5 in Northern Ireland. His marriage to a part-Jewish woman, their children being brought up as if Jewish (despite being in fact only 1/4 Jewish), meaning that Starmer engages in all those Jewish ritual dinners and religious commemorations etc.

There is another point. Starmer has always had plenty of money, at least after his student days. He took letters patent as QC (now KC) at age 39. You are talking about an income, for much of his professional life, in the hundreds of thousands per year. Naturally, he finds it hard to understand or care about British pensioners trying to afford heating and other expenses.

I believe that I am correct in stating that Starmer and his wife also own a number (maybe 8) buy-to-let properties.

Starmer should never have become Prime Minister.

In fact, Yvette Cooper was investigated by the police for fraud arising out of her expenses claims during the 2005-2010 Parliament, and was lucky to escape prosecution, along with her equally-moneygrasping husband, Ed Balls.

Yes. She held up a “refugees welcome” placard. She encouraged the migration-invasion of this country by blacks and browns (etc) from all the worst parts of the world.

I have blogged in the past about my own experiences: the UK police absolutely useless in doing what most people would regard as their headline job, but pathetically eager to do the bidding of the Jewish lobby in repressing free speech and freedom of expression by me and others.

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan…

717 invaders landed yesterday, 707 the day before (etc). 1,424 in 48 hours. Each costs about £200 a day to shelter, feed, give pocket-money, provide services.

Ecce the “Lord Chancellor” and Secretary of State for Justice, Shabana Mahmood, a Pakistani woman whose entire pre-political legal career lasted 3 years, most of which time she spent as a “gopher” in a firm of solicitors…

Talking point

Brian Sewell was a “legend”, as people now say. Camp to the hilt, in the 1980s and 1990s he was nonetheless a kind of mascot for unlikely groups of people, especially in London, people such as taxi drivers and construction workers.

The Imperial Vacuum in the Middle East and Near East, and Its Consequences

Initial Thoughts

I have been reading about what appears to have been the appalling and unusually cruel murder of a dissident Saudi journalist, supposedly cut up while still alive by some kind of Saudi Arabian “security” team in the Consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul.

This news item made me once again muse on the unsatisfactory position in the “Levant”, the Middle East and also what was once called the Near East.

The region is not one that I know well personally. I have been to Qatar twice on short visits, once in 2001 (when Doha was a rather pleasant and rather sleepy place) and again in 2008 (by which time it had become a horrible, dystopian and skyscraping sprawl). I spent less than a week in the Luxor Hilton in 1994, and another three months in Egypt in 1998 (Aswan, the Red Sea, Alexandria and the oasis of Siwa). I have also spent about 4 months in Turkey and Turkish North Cyprus.

The Gulf

What many younger people fail to realize is just how recent (in present form) are the phenomena we know as Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Qatar etc. Take Abu Dhabi: when I was at school in England, aged 14, in 1970, there were a couple of rather unpleasant boys whose father was chief of police in Abu Dhabi, which was at the time a dusty desert enclave just beginning to profit from its huge hydrocarbon wealth. The British still supplied the senior military, police and other officials in Abu Dhabi at that time. Abu Dhabi, which had been known (right up to the Second World War) only for its pearls and for the slave trade, first struck oil in 1958 (or rather BP, as concession-holder, did). That first strike was followed by others, in 1959, 1962 and 1965.

The growth of Abu Dhabi in terms of population can be judged by the following progression: in 1960, the entire resident population of the city itself was 25,000. That grew to 50,000 by 1965 (though falling back to 46,400 by 1969). By 1995, the population was 398,695, and by 2014 was apparently 1,205,963, an increase of 31% even on the previous year! The latest estimate for the (entire) Abu Dhabi population (2018) is nearly 3 million! Abu Dhabi city (which contains about two-thirds of the entire population) was planned in 1967 for 40,000 inhabitants, which was changed in the 1970s (i.e. less than a decade later!) to a projection of 600,000. The present (2018) population of the city is said to number about 2 million. About 90% of the population of the emirate is foreign.

Qatar, likewise, is a very recent phenomenon in its recent form. Oil was discovered only in 1940, after which successive oil and gas finds in later decades transformed the small enclave once populated by a few thousand fishermen and pearl divers. The population of the entire sultanate in 1970 was 108,000, whereas in 2018 it is between 2.5 million and 3 million. As with Abu Dhabi and other Gulf Arab “states”, something like 90% of the population is foreign and that 90% does almost all of the work (from banking to street-sweeping), and has few rights.

I was once told, around 1977, by a construction person who spent his time in the Gulf, that he was engaged on constructing a new airport (I forget exactly where) there. He told me that the growth in the region (even then) had been phenomenal. I asked him where he thought that the Gulf Arabs would be by some date in the future (probably 2000, but I have in fact forgotten which year I specified) and he answered, cynically, “back riding their camels”! Well, he was wrong (if 2000 was the year), but I wonder whether he will be so wrong when looked back at from, say, 2050 or even 2030.

The Gulf “states” or statelets have no resilience: 90% of their population consists of expats, many of whom are from poor parts of Asia. The 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait showed that, for all their expensive Western military toys, the Gulf rulers and their forces are men of straw.

Some Gulf states are running out of hydrocarbons, others have understood that the demand for oil may have peaked with the development of other energy sources, and so have begun to diversify economically. However, in the end, the future for these socially-backward societies with their “ready-to-wear” (bought) Western toys and expertise may be not so good.

The Main Part of the Middle East

We have seen that, from the time of open proclamation of the New World Order [NWO] immediately after 1989, the NWO has destabilized the Middle East and North Africa. Israel is of course pivotal. The destabilization has, overall, helped Israel. Its major opponents militarily (Syria, Iraq) have been cast into chaos, Iran has been embroiled in conflict in Iraq, Yemen and Syria, Egypt has been further suborned and placed under NWO-controlled dictatorship, while even Libya (peripheral, but wealthy and always anti-Israel) has been broken up internally. There are now no regional armies able to pose an immediate threat to Israel, the “Zionist entity”.

Turkey

Turkey was, for much of the past century, a relatively static and relatively neutral player on the geopolitical stage. That was the genius of Ataturk, to make Turkey militarily-strong without (usually, much) using that power externally. Now, Turkey risks being drawn into the sphere of destabilization.

The Big Picture

The combined region of the Middle East and Near East has always been the stage for empires, among them the Alexandrine Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantine Romans, the Ottomans, the British; the French too (from Napoleon’s day until 1945). There were attempts by others to exercise imperial power: the Russians under both Tsarism and Sovietism; also, briefly, Iran under the Shah in the 1960s and 1970s. Now, beyond the strictly regional squabbling players, there are attempts at larger-scale control: Russia, the USA (i.e. the NWO), as well as, on a more limited level of power than the first two (and also than under the Shah), Iran again.

It is clear that the only solution to the problems of the regions, particularly of the core Middle East, likely to last long, will be the imposition of a supervening imperium which can subordinate all existing states to its control. That means that the Arab states and Israel would be ruled by this quasi-imperial power. It is equally clear that such an imperium does not exist. The Americans have huge destructive resources, but lack the imperial will and desire which would enable them to succeed the British, the Ottomans, Byzantium, Rome etc. That is also true of the Russians, who also can be described as largely “defensive” (wishing to defend their Southern flank as much as anything). The Iranians have not the power to make a substantial difference in this arena.

The conclusion is, to me, obvious: the future of the region is not another imperial or quasi-imperial chapter, but large-scale destruction only.
