‘Should we farm octopuses for food?’ Definitely NOT! Nor any other sentient being No creature should ever be cruelly caged and confined#FactoryFarming is a stain on humanity and #shames us all@ciwfhttps://t.co/dR8cmDGq0m
Octopus are one of the most intelligent creatures on the planet. They even show gratitude to humans when shown kindness. No one could pay me any amount of money to eat them. https://t.co/EHPip2aPL4
Aristotle, apparently, called the octopus “a stupid creature“. Aristotle was wrong. It seems that he said that because an octopus will approach a man’s hand in water. We now know that that is because the octopus wants to be friendly, and is sometimes willing to take the risk that the man may not be. Aristotle can now be both understood and corrected.
The relentless sound of our heads smashing against the wall in frustration is met with nothing but silence—because, of course, the ones who should be listening couldn’t care less.
That would result in Reform UK having 189 MPs (Lab 181, Con 162, LibDem 58, Greens 4). A hung Parliament requiring a Reform-Con agreement of some kind.
Vladimir Zelensky will use whatever means, including weapons of mass destruction, to put the blame on Moscow, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said:https://t.co/X40csCdkj4pic.twitter.com/u0kL3RfDEC
Russian air defense forces shot down a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet over the past day in the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported:https://t.co/nypI6OasZJpic.twitter.com/rg3F0vKcdi
Conditions for discussions on security and strategic stability between Russia and the United States may be established, and the process towards the normalization of bilateral relations has started, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said:https://t.co/dF6DClqhmfpic.twitter.com/47yPQvdUyj
Zelensky is a dictator, or at least the figurehead of a dictatorship. That is a fact. Elections “delayed” and not expected to be held for years, if ever. Dissidents arrested, with some imprisoned, some even shot. Trade unions banned. Opposition parties, opposed to the war, or favourable to negotiation with Russia, banned. Military recruits simply seized off the streets and brutally pressganged.
That’s before you even start with the pervasive corruption, which is worse the higher you get in the Ukrainian fake state. Every kind of international gangsterism and moneylaundering is there.
Zelensky and his cabal is now sidelined as a near-irrelevance. Why? Because the Kiev regime is not a real player in the war. Stop the arms and ammunition (and vast amounts of US, EU, and UK taxpayer monies) going to the Kiev regime, and the war will stop within weeks. The war juggernaut cannot run without that fuel.
There are only two real players in the war, Russia and the USA, and now, thank God, they are both interested seriously in a negotiated peace, or at least a negotiated armistice.
The EU states and the UK are not serious players because the amount of arms, ammunition, and money they are wasting on the Kiev regime is less than half of the total spend. If the USA stops funding the Kiev regime but the EU and UK continue, the war will continue for a while until, before very long, Russian forces prevail and the Zelensky dictatorship collapses (in 2025 or 2026).
Ukraine is not a proper state, and was not even when it was established, in the 1990s. I have heard tales of corruption and degeneracy that would make your hair stand up on end. Now, even basic State functions are only carried out because of the Western money being funneled to the regime.
Trump may not be a particularly likeable man or leader, but I seriously think that, to put it in traditional terms, “God is on his side” in trying to close down this terrible war; in other respects as well.
Russia has been partly to blame. I blame the leadership (from high to low) of the Russian Army, air force, SVR, and also the political leadership, for not having conducted a swift and unstoppable coup de main and coup d’etat in early 2022.
I have written about this previously on the blog. Something akin to the way in which the Afghan government was removed in 1979.
Swift. Relentless. Remorseless.
Had that been done, civilian casualties and environmental damage would have been minimal. The whole thing would have been over in a few days.
Going from the sublime to the ridiculous, the minor would-be players, such as Starmer, and (if the idiot is worth even mentioning) David Lammy, are just making themselves look ridiculous. They talk about “British boots on the ground in Ukraine“, when only between 5,000 and (at very most) 10,000 troops could be sent, and they would be irrelevant in such a situation, quite apart from quite likely sparking a major Russia-NATO war.
Little lawyer Starmer is out of his depth. He should leave Ukraine alone and start to do something (if he even wants to, and if he is capable of doing anything useful) about the invasion of Britain by blacks and browns.
As said, Zelensky can be regarded as a dictator or, perhaps more accurately, the figurehead of a dictatorial cabal of thieves, those thieves posing as a legitimate government.
People in the Western msm, and System politics, are now waking up to what I have been presuming for some time, namely that, if a European NATO state calls upon the “mutual aid” Article 5 of the NATO treaty, regarding a situation arising from the Ukraine situation, and if that state wants other NATO states to weigh in against Russia, the USA (all the more so now Trump is President) might well say “no” in respect of US forces, or nuclear weapons, getting involved.
NATO has outlived its usefulness.
The idea that Russia wants to occupy central and western Europe, or even most of eastern Europe (Poland, the Baltic states), is ridiculous anyway. Those EU states and others throwing money at the Zelensky “government” in Kiev are a joke. Wasting money which should be going to improve the lives of their own citizens, whose taxes are being stolen, in effect.
Britain should be ready to normalize relations with Russia now. In fact, that is the only way that Brexit can work properly. We can form a mutually-beneficial trading and strategic connection with Russia. The rest of Europe (within or without the EU) should do the same.
Sachs’ cretinous plan for “capitalism in 100 days” in early 1990s Russia killed, by its implementation (in part) and also by its influence, millions of Russians and, by extension, Ukrainians, via starvation and by lack of care and services. Does that count as a “holocaust”?
In fact, most of the Washington neocons were Jews. Not only that, but many, perhaps most, of those (from both Soviet and other backgrounds) who profited from Russian misery under Yeltsin were Jews.
I can understand why Hitchens feels unable to mention the Jewish background of most of the guilty: for one thing, he is himself partly-Jewish; for another, he would lose his Mail on Sunday column immediately, so infested has the UK msm become.
Comments about Ukraine
“I’m told I am supporting the invasion by saying we provoked it. But if I warn a child that, if he annoys a wasp, it will sting him, am I supporting the wasp?“[Peter Hitchens in The Mail on Sunday].
“And now here we are again, in a moralising frenzy. The BBC, which insisted on strict neutrality between Britain and Argentina in its coverage of the Falklands War, flings itself into an ignorant and one-sided coverage of the Ukraine crisis.
A leading presenter proclaims, from a city he weirdly calls ‘Kyeeeev’, that Ukraine is a ‘European democracy’, in which case he is very easily satisfied.
As my old friend Edward Lucas, no friend of Russia, put it in the Daily Mail yesterday, Ukraine is a country where ‘oligarchs run media empires, with politicians and officials on the payroll.
The judicial system is a festering mess where arrests, prosecutions and verdicts are used as score-settlers between political and commercial rivals.
Senior positions are bought and sold. Healthcare and education are plagued by kickbacks. The security service, the SBU, is infested with intrigue and sleaze – and penetrated by Russian agents of influence’.
Justified outrage over the terrible harvest of war would be more convincing if we had paid more attention to the hundreds of civilian casualties, many of them inflicted by Ukrainian armed forces, in and near the breakaway regions in the country’s East.
“It would also be more convincing if our political and media establishment had not supported the Nato bombing of Belgrade in 1999 (with major civilian casualties); the crazy invasion of Iraq in 2003; and the forgotten Nato bombing of Libya, also with its toll of dismembered children killed in supposed ‘surgical strikes’.”
[Peter Hitchens in The Mail on Sunday].
NATO had outlived its original usefulness by the time the Soviet Union finally disappeared in 1991, but the “New World Order” [NWO] cabals were not going to let that happen.
“I am accused of treachery, or of being an apologist for Russia, for urging a different view on this crisis. Surely this is how dissent is treated in dictatorships.
I write this as a British patriot. How was it in our interests to provoke a war we cannot win, and cannot even fight, against a country which is not, in fact, our enemy?” [Peter Hitchens in The Mail on Sunday]
Yet half-Jew MP Tom Tugendhat would have Peter Hitchens, and others who are against this crazy demonization of Russia, to be charged with treason! He has urged amendment to the Treason Act, no less.
How can Tugendhat pretend that Britain is at war with Russia? If it were, Tugendhat would no longer exist, neither would the House of Commons, or London. Think about that, you evil idiot.
Still, a significant NWO/ZOG drone, who wants to be Leader of the Conservative Party, and Prime Minister. I hope that that unpleasant would-be dictator never achieves his careerist goal.
By the way, part-Jew Tugendhat wants to expel all Russians from the UK; he has explicitly said so. I have a different idea about who should be expelled…
I see that the Tugendhat family emerged, in modern times, from the town formerly called Bielitz, in Silesia, now called Bielsko-Biala, and within Polish territory. I visited that town twice in 1988 (summer and winter) and stayed there for a number of weeks.
[street in Bielsko-Biala, Poland; the town was rather more shabby in 1988-89]
[major thoroughfare in Bielsko-Biala, Poland. If I am not mistaken, I was caught by the police in 1988, illegally crossing the road by there (up on the left of the photo), given a hard time, albeit briefly, and fined on the spot. Poland was strict about “jaywalking”— I was caught again the following year, in Warsaw. I must be a recidivist…]
Feeble Labour
The (((occupied))) Labour Party under Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer becomes ever more feeble. As it has done ever since Starmer replaced Corbyn after the 2019 General Election, all it can say about the Ukraine policy of the Boris-idiot government is “me too!” or “me too! but do it more harshly and more efficiently!“
I happened to see ridiculous creature David Lammy on a news broadcast, wanting Ukrainian refugees to enter the UK. In fact, I have little objection to that, in principle. After all, they are white Europeans. Also, they are at least genuine refugees, and are only fleeing by reason of large-scale dislocation, of which they are “innocent” victims.
The devil is in the detail, in the numbers, bearing in mind how stressed and indeed swamped the UK’s services and infrastructure already are, and how crowded the UK now is.
Ukraine: Numbers are constantly being updated but the latest count of refugee arrivals in neighbouring countries now exceeds 200,000. We aim to have another update later today.
As for the growing #SWIFT ban, this will hit #Germany far more than #Russia. Crippling rival European nations & economies was the key Washington war aim in WW1 & WW2. And they're still at it!
An orgy of MSM propaganda bullshit about "Putin's stalled offensive". The truth is that the #RussianArmy has captured more cities than any in history, & that they do it in careful stages. Plus, they are trying to avoid killing civilians. The inevitable will take a few days.
I do not agree entirely with that. The offensive has been far too sluggish. It should have started weeks ago, and been prosecuted with more elan.
Stalin would already have shot a few generals by now.
What was required was a swift, overwhelming and mighty Blitzkrieg to secure all strategic objectives and, exactly by so doing, to keep the civilian population from harm.
I see that Griffin’s Twitter account is now restricted and cannot be searched for by name on the Twitter website. How long before he joins me, David Icke, Katie Hopkins etc in being expelled from Twitter?

Cartoon seen
The caption on the left is in Russian and says: “there is your enemy— the Khokhol (or Kakhlak)” (derogatory term for Ukrainian), with Jew pointing.
The righthand caption says, in Ukrainian, “there is your enemy— the Moskal” (derogatory term for Russian), with Jew pointing.
The explanation below the cartoon refers to the Russians and Ukrainians being played off against each other.
I do not necessarily “endorse” the cartoon, but it indicates what some people in that part of the world think. It is true that the Ukraine/Kiev regime is basically Jewish, and that the Putin government is at least strongly influenced by Jewish and Israeli interests.
I remember when that happened. The Ukrainian regime tried to deprive the inhabitants of Crimea (95% of whom are Russian) of water. The Russians in Southern Russia had to divert water to Crimea from elsewhere.
I feel sorry for ppl in Ukraine , but the hypocrisy from the govt and media of this issue vis a vis why ppl went to Afghanistan, Bosnia etc shows they have learnt nothing . It’s just total double standards.
The Kiev regime has issued an open invitation to any and all foreign adventurers, freebooters, and criminals, to present themselves at the border of the Ukraine and be issued with a weapon and (I presume) ammunition, no questions asked. What could possibly go wrong?
If any of those volunteers are captured in the field, and under arms, they may well end up getting shot.
The comment (in Turkish) apparently means “the only winner of this war will be the USA, and the loser will be humanity“. For “USA” read “NWO” I suppose…
May God bless you and meet all your needs for showing compassion to abandoned animals.
Interesting. The composer was about 73 when it was written.
More Ukraine thoughts
Zelensky may agree to talks, but if Putin agrees, it will be only to try to placate the West. Unless his forces get totally bogged down, he has no incentive to talk seriously. The Ukrainians are running out of fuel, ammo, food. Russian forces are in, though not yet controlling, Kiev, Kharkov etc.
It is not possible to talk about security and peace for Ukraine, OTAN and America without talking firstly about the security and peace of Russia pic.twitter.com/0gqp4zGLdJ
In Ukraine, former soldiers ready 2 defend the country will be released from prisons. This was stated by the prosecutor of the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine Andriy Sinyuk. https://t.co/jgZuqzzv9V
Coverage of this war is maddening. Western fluff pieces make zero sense "Russian soldiers in Ukrainian uniforms killed" "ghost of Kiev" "40k Russians killed" and Russian media has always been absurd. Then there's social media experts… phew. We won't know any truth for a while. https://t.co/OTIsIAnelG
The slide into confrontation with Russia has been swift. It is reminiscent, though it has progressed quicker, of the situation in Afghanistan in the early 1980s. Supply of weapons in order to “help” the invaded country. Look what happened there. This is even more likely to lead to a general conflagration.
Supplying weapons to the Kiev regime will not help the people of Ukraine. It will deepen the conflict.
Germany is supplying about 1,500 ground-to-air missiles to the Kiev regime. That is not far removed from being a direct participant in a war.
The Russian invasion has been badly-handled. Instead of a swift and overwhelming assault, particularly on Kiev, it is developing into a stagnant battle of attrition.
Russia now has no choice but to use more force in order to secure its objectives. More force. More death and destruction. More harm.
There is something fated about all this. What will the end be, either soon or in 5-10 years’ time? Massive warfare all across Europe? Nuclear war? The feeling is not optimistic.
