Talking point

The problem with such people (the ones who regard anything before 2000 as a Dark Age, in the face of all evidence) is that when you argue or discuss society with them, you are not having an argument or discussion with someone whose world-view is based on facts or —still less— reality, but with someone who is both deluded and self-deluded, someone who prefers fantasy to reality.

As Hitler said of the Weimar Republic, “they want not only their daily bread but their daily illusion“…”

[“Those close to Streeting say he has more than 81 nominations and could trigger a leadership contest. But they believe Streeting’s announcement could be pre-empted by the PM announcing a timetable for his departure, even today.

This could all be feverish wishful thinking. But I have been told by less partisan government sources that we are “in the end game”.

The alleged background is that some signatories of the “I back Keir letter” are telling him privately his time is up, that assorted cabinet ministers are set to tell him the same, and that one of those who works closest to the PM has been briefing such to backbench MPs.

BUT Downing Street is saying the ball is in Streeting’s court and there is no chance of the PM announcing a departure timetable today. And that if Streeting wants a leadership contest, he will have to trigger it.

It is quite the game of chicken, with the future of the government at stake.”]

There seems to be a belief, both in the Labour Party and in the msm, that if Starmer is replaced by some other Labour Friends of Israel clown, whether Streeting, Burnham, Angela Rayner, even fraudulent expenses cheat Yvette Cooper, then Labour’s poll rating will jump back up. I doubt it. The Labour Party is as good as finished.

“Them”…(((them)))…

Believe me, I have seen it at the Bar etc (as student, Bar pupil, as barrister, as wrongfully and unlawfully-disbarred ex-barrister, and as dispassionate observer), and in spades (no pun intended…) for over 40 years (1986-2026)…

Israel-lobby puppet Lindsey Graham threatens China. Must be the best joke the Chinese have heard all year.

That is how the shambolic, brutal, and corrupt Kiev regime recruits its cannon-fodder.

Neither side in that war should be targeting civilians or civilian areas directly. Russia must win the war, but do it cleanly, with honour.

Needless to say, that parallel drawn with the Sunak history is exactly why Starmer and his MPs will not call a general election. A general election now would certainly mean Labour MPs reduced to a rump of between 30 and 100. It could be near-existential for the Labour Party.

In fact, that is Starmer’s best argument (to the MPs) for carrying on and continuing to pretend that he needs to “continue to govern the country“, and can continue to pretend that everything will be OK if all his critics would just shut up and go away: “rebel against me and you will lose your well-paid Commons seat, your salary, those generous expenses, and those career prospects…forever.

Oh…was that in question, then?…

Silberstein, Sonnenschein [etc].

Get the picture?

Every. Single. Time.

The malicious Jew-Zionist “Campaign Against Antisemitism” is currently on yet another funding drive and pledge drive. Rich Jews agree to double all donations made. So far, in only a short space of time, the total seems to have reached nearly £800,000, to be used to fund their propaganda, including propaganda via abusive private prosecutions known as “lawfare”— abuse of English laws to repress free speech by English/British people in this country.

From where does all that money originate?

In fact, barrister and —until he was sacked— part-time judge Simon Myerson (abusive online troll), based in Leeds, actually founded a “charity” to import more Afghans, Afghans specifically, into this country.

Myerson has long been associated with both the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] and “UK Lawyers for Israel” [UKLFI], the memberships of which overlap. UKLFI was behind my wrongful and (later admitted as such by the Bar Standards Board) unlawful disbarment of 2016: see

Swamped.

The only answer is real social nationalism…and soon.

Fight the good fight.

In any case, rallies, demonstrations, and marches do not achieve much in the way of concrete results.

[“Abdoela Berhan, a 35-year-old Eritrean national and asylum seeker housed at the taxpayer-funded Britannia Hotel in Bournemouth remains a fugitive.

Outside Cameo nightclub in Bournemouth, Berhan approached 20-year-old Cleo Lake and her friends after they left. He made them uncomfortable, tried to put his arm around one, and persisted after being told to leave.

After verbal exchanges, a shove, and a missed kick from him, Berhan punched Lake in the face with a forceful blow. She was knocked unconscious for around 5 minutes, suffered a broken nose, black eye, and ongoing psychological effects.“]

Our unconquerable children!

The ANC successors-in-government to the half-wit Mandela are presiding over a white genocide, and the proportion of white Europeans in South Africa, once as high as 20%, is now no more than 5%, in fact probably lower, and still falling fast as both Afrikaaners and English-speaking South Africans flee overseas.

Looking at the dismal state of South Africa today, it is hard to believe that the world’s first heart transplant was performed there, in 1967: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiaan_Barnard.

Likewise, pre-ANC South Africa had the highest average living standards in the world.

Yes, for white/Europeans, not for the blacks, mixed-race (“Coloureds”) or other inhabitants (Indians etc), but the standards of living for the blacks were still higher in South Africa than they were in most of Black Africa, and one of the biggest problems for the SA Government was illegal black immigration!

Africans from other parts of southern Africa were very interested in relocating to South Africa under apartheid. Not something you ever heard about on the BBC or other Western TV/radio, or read in most of the UK (etc) newspapers, of course…

There again, are most of the black Africans better off now than they were under apartheid? No. A small percentage are, those who are in (corrupt) government and its offshoots, mainly. For most black South Africans, life is actually harder than it was before the 1990s; one reason why the Africans are dissatisfied and are turning to extremist populists who blame the ever-fewer remaining whites for the continuing poverty of the blacks.

Still, the Anglo-American and other pro-Mandela dimwits prefer not to see those truths.

That Pole certainly has a point.

Journalists (scribblers and talking-heads) and msm photographers/paparazzi etc are a very low breed, almost without exception.

Satirical singer-songwriter Alison Chabloz was hounded by the Press pack and BBC swine, years ago. Her aged parents even found that deceitful and now “cancelled” Pakistani “British” journalist, Martin Bashir [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Bashir] peering through the windows of their house in a tiny, rather remote Peak District village, and also standing, lurking, in flower beds, for a day or so.

It will be recalled that Bashir, later and ludicrously, the BBC’s religious affairs editor (a Muslim apostate who calls himself “Christian”) was found to have lied and cheated in relation to the Princess Diana matter:

Bashir faked bank statements suggesting individuals close to Diana were being paid by security services to spy on her, using these to gain the trust of her brother, Earl Spencer.

Bashir was also found to have lied and broadcast “fake news” on many other occasions, in the UK, USA, and elsewhere.

Still, life sometimes has ways of punishing the wicked. Bashir had to resign (or be sacked) from the BBC in 2021. He has also had serious health problems. He foolishly took a “Covid” “vaccine”, after which he had to have a quadruple heart bypass operation.

In the past 5 years, Bashir has not been able to get work in the msm by reason of his persistent dishonesty. Totally washed-up.

As for that Martin Godwin character, he obviously thinks that, like Bashir, he can snoop on people where they live. Would he like the same to happen to him, or to his family? I doubt it.

Post-Collapse Survival; Preservation of Civilization and Culture

Recent months have seen devastation from hurricanes. The Caribbean area has been the worst-hit. Most of those islands are now, with help from major states as well as from charities and individuals, bouncing back. Puerto Rico is still suffering from the effects, partly because it is the largest of the worst-affected islands, partly because the US Federal Government response has been sluggish.

In Europe, it is unlikely that we shall suffer in any major way from hurricanes, but there is a quite-high chance that our societies will suffer from the dislocations caused by war and/or socio-economic collapse. Many will say that this cannot happen or would not affect at least the more civilized parts of Europe. Are they sure? It is still just within living memory that parts of Europe were devastated twice by the very major conflicts of 1914-18 and 1939-1945. Apart from those wars, there have been others: the war between the Bolsheviks and others from 1918-1922 (Russia, Ukraine, Poland, East Prussia); the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939); the Balkan War(s) of the 1990s. That is not even taking into account smaller armed conflicts such as the Hungarian Uprising and subsequent Soviet invasion (1956) or disruptions of an economic or other nature. The recent and continuing “migration-invasion” of Europe by non-Europeans comes to mind.

An individual or small group within a society, not holding political power, cannot do much to steer such events; neither can an individual or small group easily defend itself either directly or in terms of subsistence. However, there are possibilities, if prepared for in advance. In Puerto Rico, while most of the population suffered (at time of writing many continue to suffer) from shortages of water, food, from lack of electricity, vehicle fuel and medical help, others have been able to weather the storm, both literally and metaphorically, far better.

In Puerto Rico and elsewhere, those who survived without suffering more than they had to were those whose homes were solid, who had stocks of food, fuel and medical supplies and who were as far as possible “off-grid”. Twitter carried innumerable stories of despair and triumph, such as the farmer who powers his farm using solar power from his own solar array. For him, the fact that the electricity distribution network was not working (for weeks) was not directly relevant.

In the UK and across Northern Europe, the same applies. I have blogged previously about how people on farms, country estates and elsewhere might be able, not only to survive social collapse, but also to help to preserve culture and civilization during what could be an extended period without central control, help, law, order. As during WW2 rationing, those best off might be people living in rural areas, especially those already “prepped”:

  • electrical power and hot water from solar panels, heat exchanges, small wind turbines, small hydropower plants; there are also ways of producing limited amounts of electricity via pedal-powered and hand-operated wind-up systems; temporary back-up might involve small petrol or diesel generators.
  • water purification systems; solar stills; temporary back-up via stocks of bottled water: bottled water lasts, at a minimum, 2 years and in many cases is still drinkable without treatment after 4 –or more– years and even after that can still be used after simple treatment such as addition of drops of potassium permanganate or by running it through a filter and purification system, or by boiling it as required. In fact, most rural farms and estates have access to springwater supplies etc.
  • food home-grown or produced. This of course depends on having land on which to grow it and will be much easier if the preppers already do it on their own estates and farms (or the land around ordinary houses). How much land is required is not fixed and depends on the required diet, the land type and quality etc, but can be as little as half an acre per person and quite likely even a smaller area– https://www.smallfootprintfamily.com/how-much-land-is-needed-to-be-self-sufficient . In addition, there will be food backup via stocks of tinned food, dried foods and, for those whose diet encompasses them, foods from fishing and shooting: fish, shellfish, venison etc. A further source would be from permaculture sources: nut-bearing trees, wild berries and so on.
  • Internet. This may be interrupted or even cease to exist for a time, though it is likely that service will continue in some form or be rebuilt eventually; a major resource in terms of useful techniques, as well as in holding together spread-out communities and the rebuilding –if necessary– of the wider society. Also, a way of offering or asking for help.
  • medical help: as on expeditions etc, you can never have too many doctors or nurses. A further advantage to having doctors on board before disaster strikes the general society is that doctors can order supplies of drugs unavailable without prescription and, should they so decide, stockpile them. While few individuals will be able to afford their own operating theatre, a social-national community might be able to fund doctors to set up one before it is required.
  • transport: vehicle fuel can be stored, but may not last very long. Electric cars and other vehicles are still novel; when they are available, anyone with an electrical supply and a charger will be able to charge them and so continue to have the use of cars, trucks, tractors etc.

I have left out the question of arms. As the law now is in the UK, most people are not permitted arms beyond shotguns and in some cases rifles. Obviously, farmers and landowners will usually have such weapons. In a situation of collapse, arms will probably become available. In any event, any larger or more complex weapons (eg mortars, tanks) require persons with the requisite military training. In short, it is unnecessary for the germinal ethnostate to have arms beyond those customarily available to all rural communities in the UK (other European countries are far less strict).

We in the germinal ethnostate will be in a good position not only to survive but to found a new society if we prepare in the right way and in good time.
