This week, a slim victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 6/10, I scored 7/10. “By a head, cleverly“, you might say.

I did not know the answers to questions 3, 6, and 8.

British Legacy Media in meltdown mode after JD Vance Speech “Again he’s talking rubbish” “Because of Russian interference” The pundits dismiss Vance’s accurately poignant comments as “rubbish & nonsense” and continue to indulge in complete fantasies. Thankfully people are now starting to see straight through these charlatans.

Ecce the state of “British” political discourse in the msm or “legacy mass media”— a discussion between incredibly ignorant and uncultured scribbler Susie Boniface (the so-called and self-styled “Fleet Street Fox”), and some black woman whom I know not; no idea who she might be.

Those two, and a young woman presenter also unknown to me, “discuss” (entirely tendentiously), the geopolitical consequences of the comments and policies of Trump, J.D. Vance, and Putin. Risible.

Fertility, birth-rates, and the future

That may or may not explain the drastic fall in birth-rates in the more advanced countries, but how to explain the fall of the birth-rate in places such as China, and even India?

In fact, the only regions (with a couple of small exceptions) where the population is still growing via human births (as distinct from mass immigration) are Africa (mainly sub-Saharan Africa, black Africa) and Pakistan/Afghanistan.

Look at the graphic from 2020 (which is already out of date, and the trends noted even more stark in 2025). Replacement of population only happens around or slightly higher than 2.1 children born per woman (average). People used to talk, in the 1960s, 1970s, about the average British family in their modest suburban house and “with 2.4 children”.

Look now. The birth-rate of Europeans is well below replacement rate. UK around 1.5.

That is true (see graphic) even in France and Sweden, whose higher birth-rates are entirely by reason of the invasion by blacks and browns (i.e. children born to the invaders).

I do not know whether the “birth-control in the water” scenario is true, or to what extent, and whether that is deliberate or accidental, and to what extent, if at all, deliberate.

An alternative explanation for the fact that only in the most backward regions (Africa and Pakistan/Afghanistan, parts of the Middle East) are births now well beyond replacement level might be that only the most backward discarnate souls are not now, or have not been relatively recently on the Earth plane. Only or mostly the Africans and south-west Asians now flock into incarnation, to experience the civilization at its height (in some ways).

That may portend the end of our present civilization quite soon.

What the world needs is for a quintessence of the advanced peoples to create a nucleus of Aryan or post-Aryan people, and for that nucleus to create a relatively small number of families who, in turn, can be the seed of a people who, in their turn, can create the basis for a much later super-culture based on —in the correct sense— a super-race.

Most Europeans of today are descended from only three men of the Bronze Age. Worth remembering that fact.

The close-nearby (and 4*) Royal Horseguards Hotel, which I have visited a couple of times, though only the bar, and which is a good hotel with views of the Thames from many of the rooms, currently charges about £200+ per night, a third as much as the Corinthia.

Well, while the whole Russia-Ukraine-NATO situation is now cast into the hazard, there can be no doubt that, with Trump’s accession, the Kiev regime is on the back foot.

I notice, though, that the usual NWO/ZOG voices are now talking about a general European war within a short time (as little as one year from today!). How desperate they are to foment a war with Russia. As the old saying goes, “be careful what you wish for”. A war with Russia would probably result in the annihilation of much of the Europe we know, including much of the UK (if not all).

So according to that stupid woman, the “top priority” of the EU should not be the interests or well-being of the EU or its peoples, or their prosperity, or anything other than whatever the brutal, shambolic and corrupt Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev may demand from the EU states?

Is she mad, or just another tool of NWO/ZOG? Mostly the latter, I think..

She is known for reading history books, and is friends with historians Timothy Garton Ash and Timothy Snyder.[118]

As to those two, both embedded NWO/ZOG globalists at a high level:

“[Timothy] Garton Ash describes himself as a liberal internationalist.[10] He is a supporter of what he calls the free world and liberal democracy, represented in his view by the European Union, the United States as a superpower, and Angela Merkel‘s leadership of Germany.

In more recent times [Garton Ash] has represented a British liberal pro-EU viewpoint, nervous at the rise of Vladimir PutinDonald Trump and Brexit. He is strongly opposed to conservative and populist leaders of EU nations, such as Viktor Orbán of Hungary, arguing that Merkel should “freeze him out”, evoking “appeasement“.[12] Garton Ash was particularly upset about Orbán’s move against George Soros‘ Central European University.[12] … he notes with regret the move away from liberalism and globalism towards populism and authoritarianism under socially conservative political and religious leaders.”

As to Snyder:

Timothy David Snyder (born 1969)[2] is an American historian specializing in the history of Central and Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust.

Snyder serves on the Committee on Conscience of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

He received his bachelor of arts degree in history and political science from Brown University and his doctor of philosophy degree in modern history in 1995 at the University of Oxford while under the supervision of Timothy Garton Ash and Jerzy Jedlicki. He was a Marshall Scholar at Balliol College, Oxford, from 1991 to 1994.[9][10][11]

He is a member of the Committee on Conscience of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.[15] On September 25, 2020, he was named as one of the 25 members of the “Real Facebook Oversight Board”, an independent group monitoring Facebook.”

Diary Blog, 2 February 2025, including a few thoughts about Trump, tariffs, isolationism, and autarky

Afternoon music

[painting by Volegov]

A few thoughts about Trump, tariffs etc

Trump is promulgating tariffs on imports from a range of countries and blocs presently major trading partners with the USA. Canada and the EU, to name but two. China, too.

As many are pointing out, tariffs reduce trade, because they make imported goods (and/or services) more expensive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff.

That view, however, though the majority one, is not universally held by economists, at least in specific historical cases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff#Tariffs_and_the_Great_Depression.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff#Arguments_against_tariffs.

Looked at from a different point of view, there are reasons why Trump’s tariff barriers might be positive for the USA, mainly because they might allow American industry, in decline for half a century, to revive.

American tariffs go back a long way— to 1789, in fact: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff#Political_analysis.

The tariff has been used as a political tool to establish an independent nation; for example, the United States Tariff Act of 1789, signed specifically on July 4, was called the “Second Declaration of Independence” by newspapers because it was intended to be the economic means to achieve the political goal of a sovereign and independent United States.[93]

[Wikipedia].

In the short-term, Trump’s tariff’s may well cause domestic prices (within the USA) to inflate. In the longer-term, however, those tariffs may also create American jobs, and also increase America’s long-term security.

The USA is one of the few economies capable of being an autarky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autarky]. Others would be Russia and mainland Europe (the EU, presently).

There is little doubt, though, that in those countries that produce items exported to the USA, the Trump tariffs will cause economic damage, possibly severe damage. That in turn will cause political fallout.

The USA is a huge and vibrant economy. If turned inward, that may be able to create the prosperity and job security so lacking at present in many American communities. The USA should have been isolationist in the 1940s and afterwards, as it had been in the 1930s. It seems to me that that would be a good policy now for the USA. Economic isolationism allied to political isolationism.

The USA should build up purely defensive military and naval power, but avoid doing what it has done, particularly, since 1941, i.e. interfere all over the world. If that is done, American security will thereby be increased.

I agree. It may not be the whole picture, but it is a large part of it.

That second tweet by “@InFearOfKeir” is also very true.

Yvette Cooper, the Labour Friends of Israel expenses cheat, has been wanting to be a dictator for many years. May she suffer the fate of so many dictators.

That really is alarming. I have commented previously on the blog about Chinese and other androids and also other types of robot etc.

Electoral Calculus suggests that that, at a general election, might produce a Commons with 212 Reform UK seats, 196 Labour, 106 Conservative, 72 LibDem, and 7 Green (etc). So a Reform minority government.

https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html

Reform UK is part of the journey, not the final destination, of course. A useful bridge, if you like.

200+ Reform UK MPs would change the whole atmosphere at Westminster. For example, they could demand proportional representation and then, if the System parties block that, appeal over their heads to the British people via a second general election that might see Con and Lab even further diminished.

I feel, listening to what many people I hear in the course of everyday activity, that the British people have pretty much had enough of migration invasion, attacks on free speech, and enough of the still-encroaching police-state dystopia under the present Labour Friends of Israel cabal (and its “Conservative” predecessors).

Another big factor is the “nothing works properly any more” feeling, which is based on fact— things don’t work properly any more (a situation which, with the increasingly racially-mixed population, can only worsen).

The Mail, under strong Jew-Zionist influence, carried a full-page report about me in late 2016, after my wrongful and unlawful disbarment. They even sent some little bastard to my door the day after the tribunal hearing. He very nearly had his round skull cracked.

Perhaps the scribblers sacked will find employment stacking shelves at supermarkets. Oh, well, maybe not. The supermarkets are sacking thousands too…

In my own mind, knowing two or three people, previously healthy, who (having been multiply-“vaccinated” by the anti-“Covid” poison) have had to endure heart bypasses etc, I have no doubt that the sane thing to do is to avoid being dosed with this pharmaceutical effluent. I avoided the supposed “vaccines” and am very glad I did.

Good. A 100% puppet of NWO/ZOG.

Doubt that I now count as anything other than one of the “newly-poor”, really; I used to use Waitrose often, about 4x a week, but over the past 15 years, especially the last 5 years, the quality of produce has worsened (much worse than Tesco, or even Lidl) and the once-stellar service from always-pleasant staff of all ages has deteriorated to the point of no return. I therefore rarely use Waitrose now.

My local area has a Marks & Spencer food store, and there is a Tesco 5 miles away, a Lidl and Aldi about the same distance. I like Lidl for its foreign products’ weeks, mainly, when they sell such as Polish sour-cherry juice, Greek feta etc.

As for free coffee, when you have to take your own cup in, the offer becomes much less attractive.

Ha ha! Ridiculous System talking head blames online retailer for selling a knife used by a non-white crazie to attack a child. That is so typical of Britain today.

In the past, if a shop sold a knife, or even a firearm, later used by some criminal or lunatic to hurt or kill some one else, the criminal or lunatic was blamed, not the retailer!

The James O’Brien type (a type found not only in the msm, but also among the more self-deluding part of the public) is desperate not to blame the influx of backward populations, aka “the diversity”, for crimes of that type. Oh, no, it must be the fault of those selling knives!

I wanted to buy a knife (for more usual purposes) recently, in Tesco (I think it was). Sorry, we no longer sell knives…

When will this madness end? When “the diversity” are chucked out, I suppose, and not until then.

Actually, I do not blame only the criminal or lunatic— I blame also those responsible for importing backward populations into Europe, including the UK.

Russia is no threat to the UK. More specifically, Russia will only be a threat to the UK if NWO/ZOG/NATO keeps pushing for war.

That Bill has to be voted out. Too flawed.

Rutte: Ukrainians do not want negotiations because they are at a disadvantage

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that he does not consider it a wise decision to involve the Alliance’s troops in the conflict on the territory of Ukraine. ” I don’t think it would be a wise decision ,” he said when asked by the host of “Fox News” whether NATO is considering deploying troops if third countries continue to allegedly support Russia in the conflict.

According to Rute, Ukraine will start peace negotiations only when it feels that it can get something.

Hopefully, NATO (and the EU) will now row back from the brink of war with Russia.

Is that a kind of double bluff, and is Iran already well on the way? I should not be surprised. Israel is doomed either way.

I once met a Dutch doctor, in the course of my professional work as a barrister. He was making (17 years ago) about £650 a day, 6-7 days a week, so about £20,000 a month, as a locum doctor in the NHS. It may not have any statistical validity, but the experience of meeting that horrible bastard told me everything I need to know about the Dutch medical profession.

Late thoughts about the migration invasion of the UK

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14137409/Keir-Starmer-immigration-net-peak-record-Labour.html

Keir Starmer admitted he must bring down immigration today after shock figures showed the annual record has been smashed again.

The PM insisted Britain can no longer be a ‘soft touch’ after huge revisions to official data showed net inflows were 906,000 in the year to June 2023.

Arrivals in the 12 months to June this year were 728,000 higher than those leaving the country. In itself that was almost as much as the previous long-term immigration record.

[Daily Mail]

As so-called “far right” people have been saying for years, while being called “alarmists” and “conspiracy theorists” who “stir up” hostility to the invaders, and “invent” statistics. Not so. The ones making up fake statistics are the System politicians and bureaucrats: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14137473/The-assumption-led-staggering-underestimate-migration-UK.html.

I caught a few minutes of a BBC News “discussion”. One silly woman was talking about how most asylum-seekers are “genuine”, then gave “Ukraine” as an example. The fact is that most of Ukraine is no more a a war zone than was Northern Ireland or even mainland Britain in the 1970s. An occasional bomb. I am talking about, especially, Western Ukraine and Kiev.

As the rules now stand, literally hundreds of millions of people in the world could, in principle, arrive here and make a successful claim for asylum. Fact. Can you imagine what the UK would be like if they all came here? Impossible? As recently as a decade ago, pro-migrant drones were saying that a million a year could never happen. Now look.

Meanwhile some BBC drone was saying that migration is essential for “the NHS and the care sector”. Only because of the way our society has structured itself in recent decades.

Also, migration at a million a year— how many doctors, nurses, and care workers out of every million? The fact is that the whole NHS is only about 1.5M, and about half are white British people.

The care sector employs a similar number of people.

Ergo, most “migrants” (invaders), the vast vast majority, are not working either in the NHS or the care sector. More lying propaganda from the BBC.

Where is our society going? It becomes ever more obvious…

Kiev-regime Ukraine is not a civilized state. Indeed, it is not really a state at all. Were it not propped up by EU, US, UK aid, it would collapse. It will eventually collapse. Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose this war.

What makes politicians and parties “credible” and “serious”?

In fact, at time of writing, that petition has over 600,000 signatures, and is obviously going to end up in the millions. I doubt that its existence, even if 6,000,000 sign, will change anything, though. Keir Starmer and his Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment will hang on, in order to retain power, to retain status, and to quite deliberately further ruin this country.

Interesting how people perceive political parties and their MPs, though.

For example, Rachel Reeves was touted as a real heavyweight, a serious economist etc. Now, it turns out that she was not working as an economist prior to becoming an MP, but was, as the detractors say, more or less “Rachel from Accounts“, a kind of office bod, and a retail banking mortgage adviser who sold retail products to members of the public and engaged in customer relations.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14116675/Rachel-Reevecustomer-relations-Halifax-CV.html.

The CVs of many MPs, not only Labour ones, are faked to the point of utter dishonesty; that of Iain Dunce Duncan Smith, for one. Even the bastard’s surname is a fake (it is not “Duncan Smith” but simply “Smith”).

As to the parties themselves, the public are fooled into thinking that the Labour Party and Conservative parties are somehow “serious” or “credible” because they have been around for a long time and have, respectively, 402 and 121 MPs. Even the LibDems, who have 72.

Reform UK is not regarded, even now, as credible or serious, partly because it is fairly new, because it is a vehicle owned (literally) by Nigel Farage, and because it has only 5 MPs

The reality is that the make-up of the present Parliament is by reason of a voting system that is more than simply flawed; it simply bears no relationship to the real and expressed opinions and preferences of the electorate.

The present “elected” Labour Party quasi-dictatorship of Jewish-lobby/Israel lobby puppet Starmer was voted for by 4 out of 20 eligible voters (4 out of 12 actual voters), and has 402 MPs. 3 out of 20 (3 out of 12) voted Conservative Party, which has 121 MPs. 2 out of 20 (2 out of 12) voted LibDem; 72 MPs.

Then we have Reform UK, also voted for by 2 out of 20 (2 out of 12) voters. Indeed, Reform UK gathered in half a million more votes than did the LibDems. Only 5 MPs! Unfair, and actually illogical. In fact, the proportion of votes going to the LibDems was 12.22%, to Reform UK 14.29%.

More significantly, Labour’s total vote was, roughly, 9.7M, the Conservatives’ was 6.8M, Reform UK got 4M, and the LibDems 3.5M. Reform UK was not so far behind the Conservative Party, and within sight of the Labour Party, which got nearly 2.5x the Reform UK vote.

I do not think it impossible that a head of steam (of discontent) will build from now until 2029, and that Labour will then suffer a crushing electoral defeat. The “Conservatives”, presumably under their new Nigerian woman leader, are unlikely, in my opinion, to get far beyond where they now are. The LibDems are just a “dustbin” party for the votes of those not wishing to vote Lab or Con. The remaining straw at which the voters might clutch is Reform. I could see Reform winning 50-100 seats next time, maybe more, in those seats where 3 or 4 parties will be in serious contention, each of the contending parties getting 20%-30%.

In those circumstances, yes, Reform might emerge as either the third or the second party in the Commons. First place? Unlikely, but never say never.

Caveat: Reform is morphing slowly into a new System party, as witness Farage’s recent statements, both pro-Israel and not particularly anti-Islam; also, with numerous non-white candidates. Only real social nationalism can save this country, but there is no party of that kind, unfortunately.

Incidentally, that “Call a General Election Now” petition has, in the time it took me to write the above lines, gone well above 700,000, and is running at about 2,000 signatures per minute. Admittedly, 700,000 people is only about 1% of the whole UK population, and about 2% of the GE 2024 turnout. On the other hand, if the petition numbers reach 7M, or 14M, are Labour partisans still going to be saying that it is meaningless? In terms of public relations, that does not wash.

“Seriousness” and “credibility” of political parties rests on a number of connected factors: ideology, professed policies, leader, other prominent members and/or MPs, history (if any), funding and publicity, msm comment, Press comment, online comment, number of people voting for the party.

“Call a General Election Now” (II)

I notice that the petition now has 1.2M signatures, and still increasing by about 2,000 per minute as I write. If, as expected, the signatories are ignored by the Government (save for a perfunctory brief and no-vote debate in the Commons), then Labour’s slide will certainly continue.

Where I now live is about 80 ft a.s.l., and where I was largely brought up, Caversham Heights, near Reading, on the border of Berkshire and South Oxfordshire, is —despite the “Heights” name— still only 180 ft a.s.l. Indeed, where I lived in New Jersey is only about 150 ft. a.s.l. despite its rather American name of Skytop Gardens.

Time was, when storms and hurricanes had suitably tempestuous female names such as Veronica, Pamela, and Annie. Political correctness then took over even the weather forecast.

I rarely repost such an Israel-lobby scribbler, but truth is truth. In fact, I made a very similar comment myself on the blog, yesterday.

The police have largely given up their proper job of protecting the public and detecting crime (and deterring it), and have become the militia of the “woke” state. Criticize the groups that do much of the real crime (think caravans, or drill “music”, reggae etc, or Romanian passports carried by non-European-looking women in long dresses stuffed with stolen goods) and you yourself will fall victim to the poundshop Stasi that the UK police has become.

40 years ago, Surrey Police were very efficient; times seem to have changed.

As for Essex Police, they tried and failed to have me prosecuted for writing online the truth nearly 8 years ago. My blog article about it (written 6 months later) has proven one of my most popular, having had thousands of views:

Lindsey Graham stands out even in the U.S. Congress as a complete doormat for Israel and the American Jewish lobby. He should not be permitted to continue.

As for the threat to “crush the economy of the UK“, be careful what you wish for, bastard. The UK and EU states may end up forming a rapprochement with Russia, barring American interference with our economies and cultures, and letting the USA die on the vine, preoccupied with its upcoming racial/societal/cultural war.

Bar news

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14117229/barrister-accused-sexual-activity-younger-woman-hotel-grooming.html

A King’s Counsel who once headed up the Criminal Bar Association allegedly used his powerful and influential position to coax an aspiring barrister into ‘unwanted’ sexual activity, a tribunal has heard.

Navjot ‘Jo’ Sidhu, who is married, faces 10 charges of professional misconduct that pertain to allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour with two young women who came to him for advice.

Sidhu, who hails from Southall in west London, wrote he ‘never wanted to be a barrister’ in a column for Counsel magazine in 2023, in which he extolled the virtues of equality and diversity.

I can feel the “diversity” from here!

Of course, “those people” are not the only ones who do such things as alleged, but proportionately, they do far far more of such activity than English people.

It is tempting, of course, simply to label Keir Starmer as an idiot, and in many respects he is, but one must never forget that behind “elected” dictator Starmer stands NWO/ZOG, as indeed the whole global Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby.

Look at how Starmer now joins with another such puppet, Macron, pushing the idea that the brutal and shambolic regime of the Jew dictator Zelensky in Kiev should be given more missiles, more powerful missiles, and the approval to launch them deep inside Russia, even at Moscow and other major cities.

*An open letter to Donald Trump from Uri Geller: “You have the power to bomb Iran. Use it!”*

Dear Mr President Welcome back, and congratulations on your epic victory! You have a lot to fix, though my paranormal powers tell me you will have a phenomenal presidency in which you will achieve many great things for #America and the world.

I will be right about this, in the same way I have been proven right many times in my life about events before they have happened. For 50 years I have been the world’s most investigated psychic and now the future of our planet could depend on what I am about to say directly to you. Mr President, you are the only one who can avert a catastrophe – but you HAVE to act. Everyone in the world saw how unbelievably close you came to death on that stage in #Butler – and everyone in the world saw how God saved your life. I am not religious but I am convinced God performed a miracle witnessed by millions in order to give you a vital mission.

Mr President, in 2018 you did a courageous thing in the face of huge opposition, by withdrawing from the #nuclear treaty. Your wise decision set back Iran’s nuclear programme by years and put its tyrannical regime on a trajectory towards collapse. Tragically this was undone by the weakest, most duplicitous administration America has ever had – and the results are clear to see: the Middle East is now in flames, and Iran is speeding towards a nuclear bomb.

With my powers of remote viewing – and do not forget, I was used for my abilities by the #CIA – I can see deep inside Iran’s nuclear factories and I know exactly what they are doing. I am telling you: #Iran is building a nuclear weapon. This is not speculation. They are doing it right now!

Mr President, we do not have much time left. If Iran gets the bomb then the world is finished! I see terrifying visions of what will happen if this apocalyptic regime is not stopped. #Israel will be first – and America will be second. Make no mistake – destroying America is Iran’s ultimate goal.

A nuclear attack on Israel will kill millions – and an attack on America will kill many more and make the US unlivable. Radiation will last for a century, a nuclear winter will set in, food will not grow, entire species will die and life as we know it will end. Do not be fooled – Iran has the intent and will make up any lie possible to pretend it doesn’t. It will use nuclear talks as a cover to buy time. It is sometimes said that #Khamenei issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons but this is false. Khamenei is deceitful – and fatwas can be undone. He is 85 and ailing. He is a fanatical religious zealot, and the bomb is the only way he can make sure the regime will survive. I can read his mind – Khamenei wants to get it while he is still on this earth – and no-one will defy him.

Mr President, Israel was caught off-guard and had #7October. Do not be the president on whose watch Iran got nuclear weapons. Do not let it manage to even assemble a bomb! Do not let it become a North Korea, which can now not be disarmed. Strike NOW! You will never have a better opportunity. Together with Israel you must attack Iran’s nuclear sites and bomb them to pieces. I believe this is the mission for which God saved your life. Do not sit on your hands, time has almost run out. If you do not do it now, Iran will get nuclear bombs during your presidency.

This is a fact. I can see it like I have seen other events before they happened. Do you want that for your legacy? Do not forget, Iran tried to kill you! If you do not act, it will hold America to ransom. Be the president who took out this regime for the sake of humankind. You have the power. Use it. @realDonaldTrump#Trump@elonmusk#ElonMusk#MAGA#Election2024 @khamenei_ir

Geller is an interesting character. Hard to know what is pure fakery, what he at least believes he sees or intuits, and what is possibly even a MOSSAD attempt at oblique influence.

When I was at school in Berkshire (England) in the early 1970s, Geller became a sensation in the UK and internationally, and bought a large Arts and Crafts house in the nearby village of Sonning (where George and Amal Clooney, and other celebrities and famous figures, including Theresa May, now have houses).

Geller relocated back to his native Israel (occupied Palestine, if you will) in 2015.

I have read Geller’s memoirs, but am still undecided about what is real and what is fake about him. At any rate, he is even today, at age 77, a very influential figure in popular culture, something which must be of interest to MOSSAD etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Geller.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

October Revolution

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

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

40 years ago, almost half a lifetime.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Labour MP Rosie Duffield has resigned the Labour whip with immediate effect.

Her resignation pulls no punches:

“As Prime Minister, your managerial and technocratic approach, and lack of basic politics and political instincts, have come crashing down on us as a party after we worked so hard, promised so much, and waited a long fourteen years to be mandated by the British public to return to power

Since the change of government in July, the revelations of hypocrisy have been staggering and increasingly outrageous.

I cannot put into words how angry I and my colleagues are at your total lack of understanding about how you have made us all appear.

How dare you take our longed-for victory, the electorate’s sacred and precious trust, and throw it back in their individual faces and the faces of dedicated and hardworking Labour MPs?!

The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party.”

I might not agree on everything with Rosie Duffield (specifically, her support for Israel and the Jewish lobby), but she certainly has principle. These days, in the political milieu, that is as rare and as valuable as rubies.

Starmer shows no embarrassment because he is not really a politician, let alone a statesman, but a technician, put into power by the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby to do a job: firstly to get rid of Corbyn and any non-Zionists in Labour, secondly to impose the ZOG/NWO regime, meaning pro-Israel and pro-“Ukraine” (the Zelensky Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev) internationally, and a kind of “great reset” domestically; thirdly, to destroy what little free speech and freedom of expression still exists in the UK, fourthly, to impose a “woke” dictatorship intent on shipping into the UK as many non-whites as possible.

Interesting. Something of which I was previously unaware. I suppose it might just be co-incidence, but there so often do seem to be so many “co-incidences”…

I think that it goes deeper than that.

That kind of Jewish lobby (which after 1948 became also an Israel/State of Israel lobby) did exist prior to WW2. Churchill was its main agent; but it did not really or fully embed itself until after 1989, in the 1990s. Blair was, in this as in so many other negative things, the one who opened up the portal of darkness.

Ha. Seems that her principles do not extend as far as giving up, or risking having to give up, the pay and perks of an MP. She understands all too well that, in a rigged system like this, the voting masses only vote for a label, at least 99% of the time. Which makes me wonder why she has left Labour. Maybe she will jump to Reform UK. Seems unlikely, though, especially in view of her solid electoral support at GE 2024— 41.4%, with Cons second on 23%.

I was just looking at Rosie Duffield’s bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_Duffield. Not very impressive; not at all. The main thing that stands out is her pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby stance. I have noticed that the prolific and fanatical Jewish tweeters on Twitter/X always support her— a very bad sign.

Rosie Duffield cannot return to a well-paid outside profession or career, because she never had one. She dropped out of school at 16, and her main activity apart from being a mother was as a teaching assistant for a number of years. She was 46 when she became an MP in 2017.

Maybe Rosie Duffield, in the end, is just quite genuinely horrified by the evident unfitness of Starmer-Labour, and has simply decided to sit it out as an MP for the next 4+ years and then either not stand for re-election or maybe stand for Reform UK or as Independent. She might yet have a chance if she goes to Reform and if Reform is by then the main challenging party.

She is older than she looks and (born 1971) is now 53. By 2029, she will be 58. Perhaps she has little interest in continuing beyond that point.

As for Starmer, I said on the blog, about a week or so after GE 2024, that he had already failed in government.

Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany’s main opposition party, the CDU, said that “Ukraine can never defeat Russia, and that was never the goal.” In an interview with Bild, he said that the allies are helping Ukraine “not to lose the war.”

Asked whether Ukraine should win the war, he replied: ” Ukraine will never be able to defeat Russia, that was never the goal. But for me victory means: it must restore sovereignty over its territory. And Russia must stop attacking this country. We must do everything to make Russia consider the continuation of the war hopeless. But we are quite far from that.”

That horrible creature of Evil, Jacinda Ardern, has been a major player in the attempt to create a world anti-white, anti-free speech dictatorship. New Zealand may be far away from almost everywhere but until about 30 years ago was an almost entirely English/Scottish new-ish society. That, of course, had to be trashed… How did they do it? Same as everywhere else of importance— imported non-white populations, and destroyed free speech.

People talk a lot of nonsense about how the white settlers took over the existing Maori state in the 19thC. There is of course a kernel of truth in that, but the main Maori invasion and/or settlement was in the 14thC AD, only c.400 years before the white European settlement. In any case, after the Europeans and Maori came to agreement, New Zealand was a progressive and peaceful society until the late 20thC.

Jacinda Ardern worked at a fairly high level for the UK Labour Party under Blair-Brown for 1-2 years before relocating back to New Zealand.

15 years as MP, of which about 6 were also years as Prime Minister (2017-2023).

One puzzling aspect of Jacinda Ardern’s political regime is that she came to power as Prime Minister with a rather small amount of capital, yet is now said to be worth tens of millions of NZ dollars. How?

Anyone who has lived in the USA knows to what extent the Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby controls the major parts of the news media (TV stations, radio stations, the newspapers, magazines etc). I do not hear John Kerry talking about that, though…

While admittedly not germane to the tweet above, I do find it puzzling that the parents of Ed and David Miliband were supposedly “poor refugees” “fleeing” “Nazi-ism”, so how did they obviously have so much money?

Miliband was born in the Fitzrovia district of Central London to Polish Jewish immigrants Marion Kozak and Ralph Miliband, a Marxist intellectual and native of Brussels who fled Belgium during World War II. He graduated from Corpus Christi College, Oxford and later from the London School of Economics.”

[Wikipedia]

Belgian-born Marxist sociologist Ralph Miliband and Polish-born Marion Kozak [were] both from Polish Jewish families.[1][7][8] The latter was a teacher before she became a homemaker. He was given the middle name of “Wright” after the American sociologist C. Wright Mills, a friend of his father.[9] He has said “I am the child of Jewish immigrants and that is a very important part of my identity.”[7]

Both his Polish Jewish paternal grandparents lived in the Jewish quarter of Warsaw. His paternal grandfather, Samuel, a trained leather worker, served in the Red Army in the Polish–Soviet War of 1919–1921 before moving to Belgium.[10][11] His paternal grandmother, Renia (later known as Renée), also moved to Belgium, where she first met Sam, and the couple married in 1923.[12]

The German invasion of Belgium in May 1940 split the Miliband family in half: Ralph and father Samuel fled to England,[13] while Ralph’s mother Renée and baby sister Nan stayed behind for the duration of the war. They were not reunited until 1950.”

[Wikipedia]

Miliband’s parents grew up in the impoverished Jewish quarter of Warsaw, Poland. His father Samuel Miliband (1895–1966) was a member of the socialist Jewish Labour Bund in Warsaw.[11]

[Wikipedia]

Ralph married Polish-born Marion Kozak in September 1961.[25] She was the daughter of a steel manufacturer, David Kozak, with a Polish Jewish heritage, and also one of his former students at the LSE. They made a home in Primrose Hill, and later in Bolton Gardens, South Kensington, and had two sons, David in 1965 and Edward in 1969.

So they flee penniless, supposedly, from mainland Europe, and not only get jobs in London; they have a house or apartment (I think house), firstly in the affluent area of Primrose Hill, and then in the extremely affluent/wealthy area of The Boltons, in South Kensington.

Even in the 1950s and 1960s, those were very expensive areas.

Moreover, their two children both go to university, and not just any university but Oxford (Corpus Christi).

Ed Miliband had so much money that, when he became Labour Party leader, Jeremy Paxman actually taxed him in interview with the question as to whether he had ever had trouble paying a bill. He floundered.

I suppose that the riches came from the maternal side: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Kozak#Early_life_and_education

Puzzling all the same. We always hear how the “Nazis” confiscated all Jewish property. Does that mean that those Jews had riches stashed in other countries? If so, at least some “Nazi” propaganda would seem to be based on truth…

I was glad, though, to see/hear the amusingly nerdy young custodian (?) or historian at Bletchley Park refer, correctly, to the encrypted matter and codes being studied as “German“, rather than “Nazi“.
