Israel, the leech-state…

Mostly Jews, many of them with dual nationality. They support Israel fanatically, in many/most cases. They made the bed, so let them lie on it…

Whatever happens in the next months, in the long term Israel is doomed.

This is a modern-day version of Old Testament ethnic cleansing. Look at the religion of the Jews; several of their religious festivals refer to military victories, execution of “antisemitic” rulers or advisers etc.

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism#Jewish_holidays

The Gaza quasi-genocide has exposed the Israeli Jews not only for what they have done but for what they are, at least as a collective.

I prefer peace to war, but just as there are, in ordinary life, some individual people, lunatics, psychopaths etc, who will not stop, and cannot be stopped, not by ordinary peaceful means, so there are some states which just go too far…

Most mainstream politicians in the USA, UK, France etc are in the pocket of Jewish-Zionist or directly Israeli orgs. Look at Starmer-stein’s horrible yet pathetic UK government— almost entirely composed of Labour Friends of Israel members. Starmer. Rachel Reeves. Yvette Cooper. Liz Kendall. Dozens of others.

The same is true of most of the mainstream media.

Cleverly’s suit is not as striking (neither is it as good or as well-made) as the off-white/cream suit I had made at Sam’s Tailor in Hong Kong in 2006. Perhaps not a good choice, though, for the UK. I have only worn it a couple of times, once on a very hot and sunny day in 2023 when I had to attend Southampton “Mags” on a preliminary appearance to do with my free speech trial: see

The (all black) security staff loved my white suit as I walked in, which must say something! In fact, a rather nice black girl (security guard) was particularly complimentary.

[“Did you know that after the Macron “Rothschild” Olympics’ blasphemous re-enactment of the Last Supper, the first country to defend Christianity and condemn it was Iran? It was not the USA, Britain, Italy, or Israel. In Tehran a billboard went up, with these words: “Indeed, the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Son of Mary, is a messenger of God.”]

The Muslims, at least the educated ones, revere Jesus Christ as a prophet (though not, of course, as divine).

As to Macron, his links to Jew-Zionism were explored several years ago on the blog:

In the midst of life, we are in death“…

Media vita in morte sumus.

Whether death comes to us via natural causes, by an accident or other violent event limited in scale, or via a gigantic human conflict, we are all on the same journey.

And rival storms abroad are surging
From sea to land, from land to sea.
A chain of deepest action forging
Round all, in wrathful energy.
There flames a desolation, blazing
Before the Thunder’s crashing way:
Yet, Lord, Thy messengers are praising
The gentle movement of Thy Day.

Russia or, rather, the Russian people, will eventually, in about 1,500 years, become the leading edge of the world, just as the Germanic/Anglo-American element now is. That may be why Russia cannot be successfully invaded from west or east (as in the cases of Napoleon and Hitler). The double-headed eagle looks both east and west at the same time.

Russia is not really either European or Asian, but sui generis.

There you are. That is the face of the UK armed forces in 2025. “Equality”, “diversity”, “best practice” in admin etc. Useless, in short.

Also, someone cannot spell (it’s “practices” in this case, not “practises“, unless, as a kind of American colony, we should all be writing in American English).

Still, when many “journalists” cannot spell, or write decently, why should some M.O.D. bod be any better?

I cannot know, but do suspect, that similar situations exist in the Army and Navy, and also in SIS/MI6 and MI5 (and, of course, in the police and CPS).

I cannot get too worked up about the Brize Norton attack, because for me the invasion of the UK is happening in small boats across the Channel, via “legal” immigration, and via births. I do not take “Britain’s defensive capability” against the (non-existent) “Russian threat” seriously, not in the slightest. Russia is only bristling because the UK is taking pointless and self-harming measures against Russia in the first place. We should be in loose alliance with Russia.

Having said that, it is clear that serious attackers, such as Spetsnaz commandos, would have no difficulty causing absolute havoc on such bases, should they ever be tasked with doing so.

The RAF Regiment usually defends RAF bases. What went wrong?

Britain’s dying rivers, and the need for new reservoirs

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/20/england-rivers-water-extraction-record-levels

Our rivers are under threat,” said Nick Measham, the chief executive of the conservation charity WildFish. “We are putting extra demands on water resources when the rivers are running dry. When it does rain after persistent dry periods, we often return our water polluted, which means that river habitats for animals and plants are in serious trouble.”

[Guardian]

Of course, the increase in population by reason of mass immigration is largely the cause. 56M when I was born (1956), and perhaps (no-one really knows) 70M today.

Moscow in 2025

As I said the other day on the blog, on my own visits to Moscow (1993 and 2007) I really did miss out!

More seriously, I can see that Moscow has changed radically in the past 18 years, let alone the past 32…

As for Petersburg, I have never been there, and it is one of a handful of cities which I have both never visited and which I might like to visit.

My own preference would be to deprive both Jews and Muslims of having nuclear weapons, but the Jews already have them, and with no international oversight at all.

During the hot dry months of summer, Russian forces will continue to advance, and may well make major breakthroughs.

[“What you are currently witnessing in the UK is the end destination of “radical progressivism” —a political ideology that wants to tear down all guardrails in society It wants to breakdown our national borders through state subsidised illegal immigration It wants to breakdown our right to life and family by decriminalising abortion until birth and launching state-backed euthanasia It wants to breakdown our sense of community and belonging through a deliberate state policy of mass immigration and multiculturalism It wants to breakdown our national identity by convincing you that Britishness and Englishness are merely “celebrating diversity” so you have no identity of your own It wants to breakdown our sense of history and collective memory by launching a war on the past, reframing our history as a source of racism, colonialism, and shame And it wants to enforce this agenda by expanding hate laws, speech codes, and taboos like “far right”, “Islamophobia”, “racism”, and “hate” so that any viable political opposition is shut down and stigmatised as beyond the pale This is what is happening in the UK right now —a radical “progressive” project that is being imposed on you from above by a distant managerial class which likes to think of itself as “liberal”, “open”, and “enlightened” but is dogmatic, authoritarian and deeply intolerant of alternative perspectives. All this project has to offer you is hyper-individualism, endless choice, and sexual narcissism, as symbolised by the rise of Only Fans, while all the guardrails that once gave us structure, meaning, security and a genuine sense of belonging collapse all around us. This is what is happening in the UK right now. It’s why you can sense that unavoidable vacuum, that hole, that sense of emptiness when you look at what has become of our once great nation and community.“]

What an incredible waste of money. In any case, where would such vehicles be used if they did work? Given to the corrupt shambolic Kiev regime? On exercises in Norfolk, or Salisbury Plain? Not to stop the migration invasion of this country, that’s for sure.

Britain in 2024…

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13073469/Englands-green-pleasant-land-goes-red.html

A host of senior Tories face losing their rural English seats at the next election as the countryside goes red for Labour, a new poll suggests. 

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and former ministers Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg and Thérèse Coffey are among those at risk after a collapse in support for the Conservatives in one of their main heartlands. 

A Survation poll for the Country Land and Business Association (CLA) suggests 51 of the 100 most rural seats in England could vote Labour at the next election. Some 96 returned Tory MPs in 2019.”

[Daily Mail]

The two immediately-upcoming by-elections, though not rural, should be interesting; Kingswood (Bristol) and Wellingborough. This Thursday (15 February 2024).

There is another by-election pending: Rochdale, on 29 February 2024.

The Kiev regime will have to surrender, or agree to a Russian peace deal or armistice, before 2026, and probably before 2025.

I would go along with that, perhaps in different order.

The Jewish lobby raises its arm, and Starmer scrambles to do whatever “they” want…

Still, it makes the by-election more interesting, now that Labour will be absent.

Makes you realize how much British taxpayer-money is thrown away on “defence”. Not just the fact that the UK Government has given tanks to the Kiev regime, which tanks then get destroyed in combat almost immediately; also, the fact that the UK Government saw fit to commission and pay for them in the first place.

Each of those tanks costs £4.2M, and seems to be all but useless against aerial attack or artillery bombardment, despite supposedly being superior to Russian equivalents.

The UK has not only given the Ukraine regime about 14 of these tanks but also has trained, free of charge, their Ukrainian crews in the UK.

See https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/what-are-the-invincible-challenger-2-tanks-that-uk-is-sending-to-ukraine-12001052.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenger_2.

Starmer, Blair, and the WEF (etc)

You can see, on the face of Jewish-lobby and Israel-lobby puppet Starmer, that same bedazzled look that Tony Blair had on his simian mug when he went to Camp David for the first time. The “I’ve made it…I’m one of the global elite!“…

[see how star-struck were “Tony and Cherie”…]

Not that Starmer is wrong about Westminster. The UK Parliament is indeed a provincial, “tribal, shouting place“, as Starmer says in that oddly-incoherent “explanation”.

The point though, is that Starmer will never put the British people first now that he has been accepted, if only at this stage as a spectator or poor relation, at Davos, amid the helicopters and private jets.

No. He sees himself, in the future, “working with” people who (as he obviously imagines) really matter: billionaires, secret cabals formulating a new dystopian world etc. He is not the first, after all.

The primus inter pares pupil of the modern Mephistopheles, Blair, is now far far away from his grim Scottish school [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fettes_College], far from the Bar of England and Wales, at which he practised for about 5-6 years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and from his 1983-2007 Parliamentary constituency in County Durham [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedgefield_(UK_Parliament_constituency]

Blair, now ensconced in a large country house in Buckinghamshire, heads the “Institute for Global Change” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Blair_Institute_for_Global_Change] as well as Tony Blair Associates and other bodies.

That organization, TBI, is funded partly by Blair himself (he having made many tens of millions, possibly hundreds of millions of pounds after having left office, and his moneygrubbing wife, Cherie, as much or more, apparently), partly by the USA, and partly by Saudi Arabia.

One way or another, Blair employs a number of more or less washed-up System politicians from a number of countries: Sanna Marin of Finland is one such: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/07/sanna-marin-finland-prime-minister-tony-blair-institute.

You find that many threads connect those who believe that they constitute a global elite and who are involved with the WEF/Davos, Bilderberg and/or connected secretive cabals. For example, Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand worked for Blair when he was Prime Minister.

The linkages go beyond mere function, i.e. beyond the fact that almost all leaders of governments are bound to have meetings together etc. The Western world’s leaders are connected, bound, tied by the secretive cabals to which most of them belong and whose conclaves they attend: WEF/Davos, Bilderberg, freemasonry, the Jewish/Zionist connections, and so on.

Blair, Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Macron etc are but a few out of hundreds. Blair seems to have climbed to a certain level, though.

Note the ideological and practical similarities they all share: the whole “Covid” stuff, facemask nonsense and all; the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan and so the idea of mixed-race populations ruled by European and Jewish (often mixed) ruling strata; “climate change”/Net Zero, with all the dictatorial powers of government involved in that; the Money Power controlling democratic assemblies; and so on.

The outsiders who occasionally attain to political power in the West are tolerated temporarily if not too disruptive; if they become a nuisance, they are removed from power or actually eliminated, as are those who become unreliable and have served the “global elite” much lower down the food chain: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell etc.

Reverting to Keir Starmer, you can see that, for him, the British people are —at best— about fourth in his priority list, after the “global elite”/WEF/Davos and connected cabals, the Jewish/Israeli interest(s), freemasonry etc.

The present UK Government is of course pathetic, incompetent, undeserving of survival, and that applies to 90%+ of the “Conservative” MPs as well. However, the idea that “Labour” will be —in any substantial way— different or better, if/when forming a government in 2024, is just naive.

The people voting for this Draconian energy Bill, should have been the people. The home owners lumbered with up to £15,000 fines and the possibility of 12 months jail time, for not being able to afford an inefficient electric heat pump boiler, or other enforceable purchases. This gives Government the powers to force you to have a smart meter, and enforce their way into your home. Read The Bill

MEMBER of the German Bundestag Sara Wagenknecht has announced that she is founding her own political party. At first glance, nothing significant outside of Germany, but it’s not quite like that.

In August, Wagenknecht became the third most popular politician in the country, and she consistently criticizes the German authorities regarding their support for Kiev and their anti-Russian course. She announced that her 4 main principles will be – economic expediency, social justice, maximum state regulation of prices and emphasis on diplomacy in foreign policy. She also opposed increased military spending and called for renewed relations with Russia.”

Sounds promising.

McGregor: The Russian army prepared a trap for Ukrainian troops.

FORMER adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor, said again that during his offensive, Russian troops will surround Kharkiv. He stated that the Russians are now advancing in the northeast of Ukraine and pointed out: “Eventually, the Russian army will move further west and encircle Kharkiv in the process.” McGregor assessed that Russia has an intelligence and reconnaissance system that allows it to detect and destroy any target on the battlefield. And Ukraine and Western countries, he pointed out, have nothing to oppose it.

He particularly emphasized that the Russian army had prepared a trap for Ukrainian troops. When the Ukrainian armed forces enter it – they will have huge casualties.”

Deadhead MPs, An Occasional Series: The Gavin Williamson Story

Introduction

I had meant “Deadhead MPs” to be indeed “occasional” in these blog pages, but the “democratic” deadheads are so prevalent now, and so prone to getting themselves into trouble and into the newspapers, that I have had to write more often about them than I had at first intended.

Gavin Williamson’s background

So we move to Gavin Williamson. Where to start? At the beginning, I suppose: Williamson was born in 1976, in “bracing” Scarborough. His parents were both public sector office workers. Comprehensive school was followed by the University of Bradford, where he read Social Sciences. He was involved with the rowdy and eventually shut down Conservative Students organization, of which he was penultimate Chairman.

Williamson must have graduated in 1997 or 1998. The next we hear of him is in 2001, in North Yorkshire, where he was a county councillor for a while. He is also at that time involved in Conservative Party activities in Staffordshire and Derbyshire.

There is an obscurity about Williamson. We do not know what non-political jobs he has done, save for having been Managing Director of a fireplace manufacturer, Elgin & Hall, for a while (until 2004) and then Managing Director of and shareholder in Aynsley China, a Stoke on Trent china manufacturer founded in 1775 and which was dissolved in 2014. It seems, again, obscure as to when Williamson’s connection was severed, but between 2005 and his election as MP in 2010, he was also Managing Director of an architectural design firm or company. So we are told.

Am I missing something here? Williamson came from modest origins, his academic background seems to have been at best mediocre, there is no evidence in the public domain (that I have seen) of family wealth, yet here is Williamson, still in his twenties at that, becoming managing director of three separate companies in three different industries or areas of commercial activity, despite the fact that his academic background was in Social Sciences, nothing to do with business, industry, china manufacture, pottery, architecture or design. He is even described as “co-owner” (major shareholder?) of a china manufacturer. Where did he get the capital? Very odd.

It is likely that Williamson is a freemason, but all the same, his being appointed to those jobs (all seemingly within about 5-6 years) is a little strange, somehow.

Parliament

Williamson made a racing start in the House of Commons from election in 2010. He became a Parliamentary Private Secretary or PPS to a minister in 2011, again (this time to a Cabinet minister) in 2012, then made another career leap in 2013, becoming PPS to the Prime Minister (David Cameron-Levita).

In 2016, he supported Theresa May in her leadership bid, mainly (we are told) in order to stop Boris Johnson. In return, upon her victory, May made Williamson the Government Chief Whip.

In 2017, following the resignation of drunk and sex-pest Michael Fallon as Secretary of State for Defence (I feel another blog post in this series coming on…), Williamson was appointed to replace him.

Secretary of State for Defence

It was after having been appointed to Cabinet that Williamson’s lack of serious academic, political and intellectual background began to tell, resulting in a series of blunders and gaffes. The Sun “newspaper” reported that “

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has ‘lost the plot’ over barmy plan to put guns on tractors

Other crazy ideas include disguising mobile missile defence systems as Coca-Cola lorries and transforming old commercial ferries into beach assault craft”

and continued:

DEFENCE Secretary Gavin Williamson has stunned military chiefs with crackpot ideas to solve an equipment crisis — including fitting tractors with guns. Williamson‘s department faces a shortfall of £20billion in its budget for new equipment.”

A source said: “The man is out of his mind. No one knows what to do.”

As the MoD struggles to deal with a budget black hole, Williamson has been accused of hatching a series of crackpot schemes to solve an equipment crisis.

According to several senior sources they include:

  • MOUNTING “really expensive guns” on tractors and disguising mobile missile defence ­systems as Coca-Cola lorries;
  • BUYING old commercial ferries and transforming them into beach assault craft, and;
  • WASTING thousands of hours of civil service time on plans to launch his own medal

One insider said staff are at their wits’ end with Williamson, who insists on keeping a pet tarantula called Cronus in his MoD office.

The source added: “We need billions and serious ideas to tackle serious problems.

“Yet Williamson is mucking about with his spider and coming up with crazy suggestions. The man is out of his mind.

“His behaviour is totally bizarre and no one knows what to do.”

“Williamson took over at the MoD in November. The source added: “Everyone had so much hope in him. It all looks so misplaced now.”

Defence chiefs now fear Williamson’s bizarre regime has torpedoed any hope of the MoD getting ­desperately needed extra money out of the Treasury.

It needs £1billion more a year just to keep the armed forces at their present size — and it has to somehow fill a potential £20billion budget deficit in its £179billion ten-year equipment plan.

But sources say ex-furniture salesman Williamson’s failure to grapple with the detail and refusal to heed expert advice is proving disastrous.”

“It is feared he also scuppered any chance of a financial aid package by briefing against the Treasury and boasting he could “make or break” Theresa May as PM.

Williamson’s idea for armed tractors is said to have come at a summit on the equipment budget.

A source said: “Gavin just came out with it. He said, ‘Can’t we buy tractors and put really expensive guns on them?’ People were open-mouthed. Others didn’t know where to look. It was totally bizarre.”

Williamson has since denied ­making the comment.”

But insiders say it was just one of a stream of nonsensical suggestions.

He allegedly outlined the disguised missile trucks during a meeting with his Polish counterpart to discuss the renewed Russian threat.

A source said: “The idea was to have an HGV with the livery of the Coca-Cola brand — but inside would be a missile defence system.

“His plan was missiles systems disguised as soft drinks delivery trucks. No one really knows why.” [The Sun]

More:

  • Williamson thought that a proper way to respond to the Spanish government over Gibraltar was to fire paintballs at Spanish Navy gunboats;
  • Williamson responded to Russian comments about the Skripal affair by saying that “Russia should just shut up and go away”, hardly a suitable response, neither tough (bearing in mind Russia’s alleged behaviour) nor intelligent (bearing in mind Russia’s enormous and growing strength!);
  • Williamson “threatened” to send a warship (one of maybe a dozen or so that the UK now has) to the South China Sea, to intimidate China…That would really frighten a country that has 512 large ships, about 800 naval aircraft alone, and a quarter of a million sailors! (see the link in the Notes, below, for details of the truly fearsome Chinese order of battle on the high seas).

In Williamson’s very silly mental landscape, throwing around schoolboy remarks about paintballs, shutting up nuisances with a throwaway remark and disguising mobile missile-carriers as Coca-Cola trucks serve as brainstorming, I suppose…

Now, of course, Williamson has been sacked for supposedly having leaked secret talks in the National Security Council (NSC). He denies having done so. As Mandy Rice-Davies said, in another context, “well he would, wouldn’t he?”

What can we learn from this farce?

For me, there is much that could be learned, were there politicians with the ability to learn.

First of all, I am concerned less about the leak, or who did it, than the fact that a mediocre little careerist like Williamson could ever become an MP, let alone minister, let alone Cabinet minister. It must be something to do with freemasonry and/or the Israel lobby (is Williamson a member of Conservative Friends of Israel? Odds-on…).

Secondly, I am concerned that the now-ex Secretary of State for Defence has so much time on his hands that while in office he can spend a quarter of an hour telling his contact at the Daily Telegraph all about his day (or whatever). Also, was that mobile telephone secure?

As soon as the leak scandal blew up, I thought “either Williamson or Fox”. Fox probably learned his lesson when Cameron-Levita caught him leaking years ago.

South Staffordshire is one of the safest Conservative seats. Williamson got 69.8% of the votes cast in 2017.

What now?

Williamson has been replaced by Penny Mordaunt, though the reason remains obscure. Surely her stints as naval “reservist” sub-lieutenant were not taken into account? Rory Stewart MP, arguably a better candidate, was also elevated, but to another ministry.

As to Williamson himself, there are now calls for him to face police action and possible prosecution. Theresa May would rather avoid that, in the runup to the EU elections, but time will, of course, tell. Watch this space.

I doubt whether Williamson can ever recover from this whole situation, though he will be able to stay on as MP unless sacked by his local Conservative association. He will not be seen on the Conservative front benches again, though.

Well, I was wrong. Not about Willamson as such, but the parting comment that his frontbench Conservative career had finished. Incredibly, Boris-idiot has appointed Williamson as Secretary of State for Education! So this twerp is actually posing as a Cabinet minister again! At first I was incredulous, but there again, you have a complete idiot as Prime Minister, and a bunch of total fuck-ups as Cabinet ministers anyway: Priti Patel, Matt Hancock, Sajid Javid, Liz Truss, Grant Shapps (!), that little pissant Robert Jenrick, Dominic Raab, Michael Gove, Andrea Leadsom, Amber bloody Rudd, the idiotic James Cleverly, Liz Truss (!), Theresa Villiers (a doormat for the Jew-Zionist lobby even in a Cabinet stuffed with Zionists and pro-Zionists) etc…

and…among those who sit in on Cabinet without being members, Nadine Dorries (I mean, how lowbrow can you go?) and even, on occasion, apparently, ah…the fellow who runs the Wetherspoon’s pub chain! Who is not even an MP!

Among the rest of the Cabinet and the occasional attendees, I suppose that Williamson does not stand out as impossibly half-witted. No, he fits in just fine…

“Ian Millard has left the building”…

Update, 4 March 2022

Williamson was dismissed as Education Secretary in 2021; also dismissed from Cabinet and Government.

Unbelievable.

Update, 8 November 2022

A useless freeloader, personifying the broken UK political system.

Update, 25 May 2024

From the next general election, Williamson’s current seat of South Staffordshire will be split, with Williamson being selected as the Conservative candidate for the newly formed constituency of StoneGreat Wyrely and Penkridge. Philip Catney, a senior politics lecturer at Keele University described the newly formed constituency as a safe seat, with a Conservative MP being “guaranteed a job for life”.[94]

On 4 September 2023 Williamson was told by a Parliamentary independent expert panel to apologise to the House of Commons and to take behavioural training. The panel concluded that he had abused his power when he sent Morton text messages in 2022.[95]

An “eccentric” but not a pleasant one. Useless idiot.

Update, 12 August 2024

Williamson, now “Sir” (having been knighted, controversially in 2022: see https://voxpoliticalonline.com/2022/07/02/was-this-extra-marital-boris-johnson-sex-act-the-reason-times-story-on-carrie-symonds-was-pulled/ and https://brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/everything-sucks), was re-elected at the 2024 General Election. He might have lost to Labour had Reform UK not decided not to stand a candidate, but there it is.
