At last. Not perfect (Russia should control all Eastern Ukraine, that is Ukraine east of the Dnieper, as well as the Black Sea littoral and, of course, Crimea), but anyway peace…so long as the Kiev regime agrees. I doubt that it will. So cut off all military and financial aid; only provide directly and purely humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine.

[“Iran declares it is now more ready than ever to deter an Israeli attack Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran is now “even more prepared” to repel any Israeli aggression, citing significant advances in missile capabilities since the 12-day war earlier this year. In an interview with The Economist, he said that the improved quantity, quality, and deployment of Iran’s missiles have strengthened deterrence, asserting that readiness is the best way to prevent a new conflict. Araghchi also noted expanded cooperation with Russia following Moscow’s support during the war, describing their relationship as a developing “strategic partnership.” Regarding nuclear talks, Araghchi insisted that Iran is open to a “fair and balanced” agreement but rejected U.S. pressure, emphasizing that uranium enrichment is non-negotiable despite Iran’s pledge not to possess nuclear weapons. He said enrichment was paused due to recent U.S. attacks, but Tehran remains ready for negotiations, “but not to accept diktat.”]

Israel is being outflanked strategically.

Good man.

I cannot recall any other people in modern times so brutally attacked, dispossessed, intimidated, bullied, and subjected to sadistic practices, as the Palestinian Arabs of Gaza, certainly not over such a long time (77 years on one reading, but even on the most restricted reading 2 years). The Israeli Jews and their facilitators are the guilty ones.

While that attitude seems weak in a way, it does reflect the truth, at least in large measure.

[“NEW. 73% of British men feel in some way disillusioned I don’t think millions of men in Britain only feel disillusioned because of the economy or housing I think they are fed up of watching “leaders” and companies prioritise immigrants over British men Fed up of existing at the bottom of a moral hierarchy that puts straight white men at the very bottom Fed up of living in a culture and politics that openly celebrates their demographic demise Fed up of being written out of the national story, or only ever presented as problematic, suspicious, evil Fed up of watching British women and girls being raped assaulted and then called “far right” if they protest I think it all adds up to a feeling of dispossession –a sense among men that something is being taken from them and yet they were never even asked I mean, if you ever wanted to create a culture that actively alienates men it would look a lot like the one we are currently cultivating in Britain …”]

When will the Israel-lobby MPs and fake “peers” go the same way? Only when this country has a proper government.

That aside, the sentence seems extraordinarily harsh.

10.5 years as headline sentence means that he might spend over 5 years in prison, though he might also get released earlier than that on licence; but he must, realistically, be looking at at least 3-4 years actually inside, unless he can appeal successfully on sentence.

Starmer-stein only took a couple of months to be comprehensively exposed to the general public as useless, but he seems (and “the chosen” backing him in a Labour Friends of Israel government seem) to want to cling on to power for as long as possible.

Of course, apart from the major point— that Starmer, along with “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, “ape in a silk suit” Lammy, and “refugees welcome” would-be dictator Yvette Cooper (and others, such as Angela Rayner, who wants to be Britain’s first “chavscum” Prime Minister) are a bunch of utter clowns, completely hopeless, there is also the looming cloud of upcoming prosecutions of former or sitting Labour MPs in relation to underage sex with boys, to which might be conflated the alleged “Ukrainian rent boys” possible scandal involving Starmer-stein himself (and few know the truth about all that— certainly I myself do not, but there seems to be a news blackout about it all).

It looks as if the continuing Reform surge in the opinion polls is causing both main System parties to examine whether they have total deadheads at the top (they do).

It may be that both Starmer-stein and Kemi Badenoch will be ousted.

The opinion polls continue to show the former “three main parties” –LibLabCon— at a combined total of around 40%-50% (10%-20% each), while Reform sits variously between 27% and 36%, with the joke Green Party now on a similar level to Lab and Con, and well ahead of the LibDem dustbin-alternative party.

The fact is that, whatever scandals may hit Reform, the polling might not much change, and for one simple reason: people are intending to vote Reform not because they love or much respect Farage and/or his party, but because they do not want LibLabCon, and in fact want to stamp on them. Also, because the UK is sliding to a very desperate situation, and people are now finally starting to wake up to that.

Surely indicating also that the LibDems and Conservatives are now seen as largely irrelevant by most voters. Greens? Have always been irrelevant, though that will change if —as per recent polling— the Green Party can secure over 20 seats in (?) 2028 or 2029.

Incidentally, it looks to me as if Corbyn’s “Your Party” is going nowhere. It may still get a seat or two (Corbyn himself may be nailed on) but many of its potential voters will go elsewhere, the white ones to the Greens, amusingly enough, and the Muslims to some specifically Muslim party or to Galloway’s “Workers’ Party”, if it has a candidate in any particular constituency.

All that matters, bottom line, is that a sufficient pool of post-Aryan Europeans survive and procreate, in order to establish, over time, an advanced people which can, over yet more time, be the foundation for a quantum leap in human evolution— a super-race endowed with abilities far beyond what we today call human.

I hope that the poor saps who criticize me occasionally on Twitter are noting how often I have been proven right since I started writing this blog nearly 4 years ago. I was blogging over a year ago, maybe longer, about how almost everyone, misled by the msm, was thinking of Boris Johnson as a strong leader-type, when his whole history shows the reverse, a weak man without ideas, principles or resilience, untrustworthy, incompetent and without leadership qualities.”

An asylum seeker who entered the UK illegally has been jailed for raping a woman in London’s Hyde Park.

Abdelrahmen Adnan Abouelela, 42, was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison for the rape, which happened in November last year.

The married father-of-one approached the victim as she was walking home alone from a night-out in central London at about 9pm and lured her to a secluded spot in the park where he raped her, Southwark Crown Court was told on Tuesday.

“You thought absolutely nothing of her,” judge Gregory Perrins told the defendant, whose address was given as a Hilton hotel in Ealing, west London.

“It must have been obvious to you that she was a woman under the influence of alcohol who was alone and vulnerable. You made the decision to take advantage of her vulnerability.”

Probably. At least Zelensky and his cabal are no longer claiming that their forces will advance deep into Russia. That fantasy, at least, has gone.

More Starmer-stein fantasy geopolitics. Britain’s depleted armed forces cannot even defend the south coast of the UK against backward hordes in rubber boats…and do we really care whether China pressures —or even invades— the bloody Philippines?

Farage more popular than both Starmer and Kemi Badenoch. Significant.

Also significant.

It seems unlikely to me that Israel would attack Turkey directly. After all, much of Israel’s oil supply comes via Turkey. Turkey could simply stop shipping the oil the last short leg to Haifa or elsewhere, which would cause an immediate crisis in Israel.

Apart from that, Turkey, though not a nuclear power, has very strong conventional forces, including hypersonic missiles. See the Google/AI analysis:

“Key Organizations and Programs

  • Roketsan: The primary defense company responsible for developing and producing Turkey’s rocket and missile systems, including the Tayfun and Bora (Khan) families. 
  • Tayfun Missile Family: Includes the Tayfun Block-4, Turkey’s first hypersonic ballistic missile, designed to destroy strategic targets. 
  • Yıldırım IV Missile Program: An initiative to develop a longer-range medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) capable of reaching targets across the Middle East and parts of Europe. 
  • Bora/Khan Missile: The predecessor to the Tayfun, it serves as the backbone of Turkey’s short-range ballistic missile capability. 
  • GÖKTUĞ Program: A project to develop indigenous air-to-air missiles, the Merlin (Bozdoğan) and Peregrine (Gökdoğan), to replace existing U.S. models. 

Key Capabilities and Future Outlook

  • Hypersonic Technology: Turkey has entered the hypersonic missile domain with the Tayfun Block-4. 
  • Long-Range Ballistic Missiles: The development of systems like the Tayfun and Yıldırım IV demonstrates a push for longer-range strategic capabilities. 
  • Space Launch Capabilities: Roketsan is developing a satellite launch vehicle, the Simsek-2, to place satellites in orbit. 
  • Indigenous Development: Turkey’s defense industry is rapidly advancing, with the goal of becoming a national and global leader in rocket and missile technology.

[Google]

I think that, in the back of the Turkish mind is the knowledge that much of the Middle East was merely a part of the Ottoman Empire, and not so long ago— until 1922, little more than a century ago.

The Turkish armed forces comprise as many as 500,000 men altogether, of which maybe 400,000 are Army personnel. That army has well over 2,000 main battle tanks. The Turkish air force is likewise large and being upgraded.

Overall, the forces at the command of the Turkish government match those of Israel (leaving aside the Israeli nuclear weapons). The Israeli nightmare scenario would be a multifront war against, simultaneously, the largest or most powerful regional states: Turkey and Iran, in particular.

“Not Proven”

I was rather disappointed to see that the “Not Proven” verdict, available in Scottish criminal courts, is to be abolished. I have always thought it a good thing that a Scottish jury can decide that, in effect, they suspect that the defendant probably did whatever he/she is charged with but that the evidence did not support a “Guilty” verdict on the basis of beyond a reasonable doubt.

I should have liked to have seen the “Not Proven” introduced to English courts too. So much for that…

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

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

A bloody Cuban.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Peter is also a Parliamentary ‘officer’ and Vice Chair of Labour Friends of Israel. Peter was a persistent critic of Jeremy Corbyn when he was leader of the party.

I had already considered that possibility. Would probably give Reform over 300 —maybe even 350— MPs, Labour perhaps 100, Cons and LibDems about 75 each, and the new “Corbyn” party maybe (at most) 10.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Horrifying

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14822053/MPs-vote-decriminalise-abortion-law-change.html

MPs have voted in favour of measures to decriminalise women terminating their own pregnancies in the biggest change to the law on reproductive rights for half a century.

Women will no longer face prosecution for aborting their own baby for any reason and at any stage up to birth under the proposed legislation, which was backed by 379 votes to 137 on Tuesday night.”

[Daily Mail]

Horrifying. A form of infanticide or even murder, in lay terms. The deliberate killing of a completely viable foetus (which after all only means unborn baby). When you consider that it is commonplace for babies to be born days or even weeks prematurely, and then go on to thrive, this proposed law, which will obviously become law now, decriminalizes the killing of any unborn child, even if done only hours, minutes, seconds even, before actual birth, and for any reason whatsoever, so long as the expectant mother does the killing. Truly horrifying.

Not sure whether the new law will validate that, exactly, because the killing will (from what I have read, anyway) have to be by the mother to escape legal sanction.

More Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/17/dozens-killed-in-gaza-waiting-for-food-trucks-says-health-ministry

[“Witnesses have described scenes like “a horror movie” in Gaza after Israeli forces fired towards a crowd waiting for trucks loaded with flour near Khan Younis, on one of the bloodiest days for weeks in the devastated territory.

At least 51 Palestinians were reported to have been killed and hundreds more wounded in the southern city. People at the scene and doctors described seeing injured and dead with wounds typical of those caused by artillery or tank fire. Unverified video shared on social media showed about a dozen mangled bodies lying in a street.

Multiple other incidents of violence involving crowds of desperate Palestinians trying to get food were reported on Tuesday.

The Israeli military acknowledged firing in the area of the crowd in Khan Younis and said it was looking into the incident.

The IDF said it was aware of reports of casualties “from IDF fire.”

What the Israeli Jews in uniform do is not so much a copy of what the German SS are alleged to have done in WW2 (there are no similar recorded instances, in fact) but a kind of horrific and ahistorical parody of what the Jews (Israeli and other) claim the SS were like.

Yet more Israeli war crimes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/16/doctors-describe-carnage-iran-hospitals-israel-strikes

The stream of wounded in Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran had been steady since Friday. On Sunday evening it became a flood. A renewed wave of Israeli strikes on Iran’s capital overwhelmed the hospital’s emergency unit, turning it into what one doctor described as a “bloodbath”.

“It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members. Dozens upon dozens of people with life-threatening injuries, minor wounds and even bodies were brought in,” a doctor at the emergency unit of the hospital told the Guardian on Monday under condition of anonymity.

As fighting between Israel and Iran entered its fourth day, Iranian hospitals were receiving a surge of wounded people, overwhelming medical facilities and exhausted personnel. Medical staff described scenes of bloody chaos and an influx of injured people that has only seemed to grow as Israeli strikes increased in intensity.

I’ve seen toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly alike. Profusely bleeding mothers were rushing in with their children injured by shrapnel,” the doctor said, adding that some parents did not realise they themselves were injured until they put their children down.

Swifts

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/17/swifts-decline-uk-birds-swift-bricks

Swifts’ decline: how can Britons help these remarkable birds?

Campaigners are calling for compulsory ‘swift bricks’ in new homes to provide nesting sites.

What are swifts and why are they in trouble?

The swift (Apus apus) is an acrobatic aerial bird, a remarkable sprinter and endurance flyer that rarely touches the ground. When these sickle-winged birds do come down – after several years in perpetual flight, even sleeping midair – it is to nest in the eaves of roofs across Europe after spending winters in sub-Saharan Africa, migrating 7,000 miles (11,000km) every year. They are celebrated by nature lovers, artists and poets as they race through city skies on long summer evenings, filling the air with their screaming calls.

The fastest bird in level flight (top speed: 69mph/111kph), they feed on airborne insects. Swifts are in trouble because of steep declines in insects, but also because they are losing traditional nesting sites. Swifts once nested in caves and hollow trees but moved into buildings hundreds of years ago. Modern insulation, particularly in roofs, removes the crevices and cavities where they have nested for centuries.

What are the prospects for swifts?

Grim. Swift populations in Britain slumped by 66% between 1995 and 2022 and have continued a rapid downward trend. Since the last count of 59,000 breeding pairs, the population this summer is set to be just 40,000 pairs. In five years’ time there could be fewer than 25,000, unless action is taken.

A swift brick is a hollow brick that slots into the brickwork of new or old homes, providing a cavity where swifts can nest. The bricks have also been found to help other cavity-nesting birds, including the rapidly declining red-listed house martin, house sparrow and starling. Other species including blue tits, great tits, nuthatches and wrens will also nest in the bricks.

Swift bricks are made by brick manufacturers large and small, and typically cost about £35. There is a British standard for them and some developers are already fitting them to new homes.

The Israelis are not like us. They are alien. Their supporters in the UK should be deported and/or otherwise punished.

The Israelis claim, for foreign consumption, that Israel does not practise a form of apartheid, but it obviously does. This is only one of many examples.

Trump shows every sign of reverting to what he was 9 years ago— a squawking parrot surrounded on all sides by a phalanx of Jews.

Well, we shall soon know.

Had the Arabs (inter se) and Iranians not been so divided over the past 80 years, Israel would not now exist. Now look: one by one, the Israelis, via their influence over Washington, London, Paris, have had taken down for them all their surrounding potential enemies— Lebanon (invaded, part-occupied), Jordan (suborned), the Gulf Arabs and Saudis (suborned), Egypt (defeated and then suborned), Libya, Iraq, Syria etc. Only Iran and Yemen are left standing.

Even the way things are in the UK now, hard to believe that that is the “Deputy Prime Minister”.

Good news, if true, though possibly leaked by Israel and designed to push Trump into getting directly involved in bombing Iran.

“They” are manipulating the entire Western world.

(make that “40 years on…”)

You can never believe a word “they” say.

[“Official statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: The eleventh wave of the proud Operation True Promise 3, using the first generation Fatah missiles, marks the beginning of the end of the mythical air defense of the Zionist army, the confusion and self-destruction of the Zionist villains. We congratulate you, commanders and loyal fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force. Fattah’s powerful and maneuverable missiles, having penetrated the anti-missile shield tonight, repeatedly shook the shelters of the Zionist cowards and conveyed a message of Iranian strength to Tel Aviv’s military ally, which lives in illusions and empty dreams. Today’s missile strike showed that we have complete control over the skies over the occupied territories, and their residents are completely defenseless against Iranian missile attacks.“]

Russia could, in theory, tell the United States that, should the US bomb Iran, Russia will bomb or rocket Israel. That would stalemate the situation, and stop the Americans from attacking Iran. It might also trigger WW3, though, and make “Armageddon” reality, both in Israel/Palestine and elsewhere.

However, Putin will not want to get Russia directly involved.

So far, Russia is winning all ways: the oil price is rocketing, gold is rocketing too, and Russia is one of the largest producer-states of both.

Also, Trump has apparently signalled to Zelensky and the Kiev regime that American military aid hitherto given to Kiev will be cut back, and priority given to the Middle East. That, as Russian forces press forward on all relevant sectors of the overall front.

In short, Putin is winning the geopolitical chess game.

Typical American ignorance. That cretin, Ted Cruz, is a U.S. Senator, and tipped by some as a potential U.S. President.

If it is true that Israel will run out of ground to air missiles within a week, and if it is also true that Iran still has thousands of missiles of various types, then Tel Aviv really will soon start to look like flattened Gaza as those Iranian missiles rain down, unimpeded, onto their targets.

Stray thought

Amusing to see rubbish newspapers in the UK, such as the Daily Mirror, talking about what occupations might be exempt from conscription if WW3 were to start! In the nuclear age, when immensely powerful missiles can reach UK targets in minutes (I am told, maybe 8 minutes) from launch sites thousands of miles away…

I wonder how many people actually read and believe all this 1940-cosplay?

The fact remains that, in any continental-level war, with Russia on one side, and NATO states on the other, the UK would quite soon be a charred and irradiated giant bombsite. In that terrible scenario, the Daily Mirror, the other “lying Press” outlets, and warmongers such as Tobias Ellwood, would be among the first to go (whether with a bang or a whimper).

Alternative idea: Britain enters into loose alliance with Russia, leaves NATO, kicks the EU hierarchy to the kerb (while maintaining correct relations with all European powers and peoples), and stands opposed to fanatical Jewish Zionism, extreme Islamism, and all other negative influences in the world.

Iran is defending itself. Israel is the aggressor. Israel attacked without declaration of war and without any warning, and Israel drew first blood.

Whether guilty or not, they are probably not having a good day. I have no idea how efficient Iranian security may be; in the days of the Shah, SAVAK was feared, and its reach extended well beyond Iran itself.

SAVAK’s last three chiefs all met similar ends in the same year, 1979, after the fundamentalist clerics seized power in Iran: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAVAK.

I think that, if a particular people has been expelled from dozens, indeed hundreds, of states and territories over the centuries, it is legitimate to ask why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsions_and_exoduses_of_Jews.

[“Gideon Lifi, Haaretz journalist:

Everything is paralyzed. Everything is at a standstill. The economy is at a standstill, you can’t live like this. I don’t think Israeli society will be able to tolerate this situation for long.

We feel safe in public shelters, but not everyone has access to these shelters. There are many people who have no shelter from danger.

At first, we were all happy because we were witnessing important achievements in Tehran. But everything changed quickly because the price we had to pay became high, and I fear that this price and cost we are paying will be much higher.

I don’t think Israeli society can tolerate this situation for weeks or a whole month or years. The airports are closed. There is no way in or out. Life here is not easy.”]

There are still plenty of people around who do not understand that Labour, as understood during almost all of the 20thC, ceased to exist during the 1990s, which was why it was called “New Labour” for a while. A different party supplanted 90% of what had been Labour.

That process, connected to the overall collapse of socialism after 1989, has continued in the UK to the extent that Starmer, or Starmer-stein, now sounds far more like Conservative Party leader than a Labour one. Why is that? Because he is more like one…

I recall my own visit to the Kremlin in 1993. A tourist visit to the Kremlin, in effect, though I was in Moscow on business. Most of my time, though, was my own.

I paid my few roubles early one summer morning, after having swum, as usual, at the Moskva swimming pool at Kropotkinskaya. I would have been the first visitor that morning, had I not gone to sleep in the sun while sitting on a low wall by the little ticket kiosk (now replaced by a modern visitor centre); a Russian family thus bought their tickets ahead of me. In fact, it was their arguing with the ticket lady that woke me up.

My komplekt of tickets entitled me to visit all parts of the Kremlin open to paying visitors (other areas are closed off for the exclusive use of the Russian Government; the Kremlin is more or less like Whitehall, but inside a walled fortification). I visited the Kremlin churches (I was the only visitor, in fact, at that hour). I also wandered around other parts and saw, from above, the green Land Rover of the British Ambassador arriving, Union Jack bravely flying in the slight breeze.

[“On this day of Covid reflection I reflect on how there was no pandemic, Covid was a hoax and the lies of the state inflicted uncounted numbers of deaths and injuries upon the world.“— Neil Oliver]

You still see a few facemask loonies about, here and there.

There is still a disinclination to understand that the “scamdemic” or “panicdemic” was a massive psy-op right across the world. So many people still believe that there was a genuine and deadly “global pandemic”…

Now there is a real public health danger, as millions fall victim by reason of the “vaccines” having caused serious medical problems, especially heart problems. Huge numbers of people, often healthy young people, worldwide have just dropped dead.

One aspect of the years 2020-2022 was the way in which a combination of repressive pseudo-public-health “measures” (invalid laws, regulations made superficially under those laws, and State propaganda, amplified by very well-paid “useful idiots” such as Piers Morgan, James O’Brien etc), enforced compliance.

Any dissidents were labelled, in the Press, on radio etc, “Covidiots” for saying (as I did, on the blog) that people camping on deserted Welsh hills, or walking in the Peak District, or taking a spin on the empty roads on their motorbikes or in their own cars, were not thereby “killing people” etc.

Some people even got prosecuted and convicted for such terrible crimes as having a picnic, though most of such convictions were later overturned when the hysteria had somewhat abated.

The police were particularly stupid during the “Covid” panic. In fact, I should say that the present contempt for the police in the UK, though it had been developing for a number of years, is mainly a reaction to the memory of police shouting from helicopters at elderly couples walking on hills, and examining people’s shopping to adjudge whether purchases were “reasonable” or not (!), which is and was not the job of the police; neither are they authorized by law to do that.

The reach of the State has extended, partly by reason of the craven response of most of the public to the dictatorial measures imposed during the scamdemic/panicdemic. For example, you can now not only be arrested, charged, indeed imprisoned, for owning a copy (hard copy or online copy) of such a work as the 1970s Anarchist’s Cookbook, but also even for simply owning a machete or the like, even if kept in your own home. Some such laws that existed prior to 2020 (eg about supposed “terrorist materials”) are now seemingly used more often, indeed often against young people (sometimes still at school). Socio-political hysteria.

Just as well that the Rhodesian Army panga (a kind of machete), in a handsome light-tan thick leather sheath, which I brought back from my visit to Rhodesia in 1977, was later stolen by the staff of the Kazakh removals company which moved my personal possessions (at least, the ones they did not steal) from Almaty to London 20+ years later.

Well, the “panicdemic” is now history, though attempts are still made to revive it, and with it the control-State of 2020-2022, but new panics have been substituted. At present, the panic all over the mass media is around the non-existent threat of Russian invasion of Western Europe, including the UK. It’s rubbish, of course, but the unthinking part, maybe a majority, of the public seem ready to believe that “we” “have to” fight Russia quite soon.

Talking point

If ever the UK had a Prime Minister incredibly out of touch, it is Starmer-stein.

Starmer thinks that his pathetic attempts to play the world statesman resonate in this country. No, they do not. Why? Partly because his foreign affairs activities only underline how weak and divided are the European states, partly because Starmer has no credibility at all as a statesman, partly because everything is falling apart in this country. It seems that only Starmer and his Labour Friends of Israel cabal are unaware of how bad things are getting. Policing, NHS, the ever-more-mean benefits system, falling real take-home disposable income, the courts, prisons and, above all, the continuing migration-invasion (1,000-2,000 illegals every week, and also tens of thousands of “legal” immigrants, every week).

Late thoughts about Starmer, Rachel Reeves, and their Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment

Looking at the words of Starmer, Reeves, and various other nonentities now in Cabinet, particularly about their threatened cuts to the State benefits of the disabled, sick and others, can it really be said that the present fake “Labour” government is different in any way at all from the “Conservative” governments of 2010-2024 and, especially, that of 2010-2015? I see no difference at all.

This “Labour” (Labour Friends of Israel) government offers the British people nothing, nothing at all. Both evil and stupid.

Saturday quiz

Well, I managed to beat political journalist John Rentoul again, despite scoring only 5/10 (had 2 near-misses as well). Rentoul awarded himself 2/10, plus two half-points, this week. I knew the answers to questions 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8.

From the newspapers

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/apr/05/dementia-patients-england-nhs-may-be-denied-access-new-drugs

Hundreds of thousands of dementia patients in England face being denied access to revolutionary new drugs because the diagnostic capacity of the NHS lags behind every other G7 country, according to a damning report.

After decades of research to find a cure for the condition projected to affect 153 million people worldwide by 2050, scientists have successfully developed the first treatments to tackle the underlying causes rather than only relieve the symptoms. Two new drugs could get the green light for use on the NHS within weeks.

However, their effectiveness depends on prompt and early diagnosis of patients. The report, obtained by the Guardian, says the NHS lacks the diagnostic capacity to accurately identify those eligible in time.

The analysis reveals England is unprepared for the rollout of new treatments, with “large gaps in diagnostic capacity” for dementia. It also warns of a £14bn funding black hole that must be plugged if England is to diagnose dementia as quickly as the other G7 countries, the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan.

I have to say that the few Palestinians I have met (mostly in Qatar and around) have impressed me in that way, and far more favourably than the arrogant and stupid Gulf Arabs (Qataris and Kuwaitis) also met.

Sometime in the 1970s, I think probably in late 1977, I met the PLO representative in London, Said Hammami, who was based at the Arab League offices in Mayfair, and he was rather dismissive, but in retrospect I suppose that he had things on his mind, and probably little time in which to speak to a young person (21-y-o) with his head in the clouds in some ways…

I do not remember much about the discussion; mostly that the PLO man wore a rather filthy sheepskin coat in his little office, and that a young and rather stylish Arab woman in the outer office smoked a kind of long brown cigarette called More; I remember asking her what they were [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_(cigarette)].

Unfortunately, that PLO fellow was shot dead in the same office only (as far as I can recall) a few weeks later. The matter was never solved by the police. Either MOSSAD, or a different Palestinian faction to his own (he belonged to Fatah, I think). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Said_Hammami. Apparently he was in favour of talking to the Israelis; that may have been the reason behind the assassination.

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Avnery. Interesting article about someone apparently known to the assassinated Hammami.

Voters of Britain: whatever your ideology, whatever you support or dislike, when GE 2024 arrives vote any way you like except “Conservative”, or do not vote at all. Crush and exterminate this useless party. Equally-bad “Labour” can fall later, but first things first.

The whole Westminster monkeyhouse should be done away with.

According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would leave the Cons with about 30 MPs. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html.

The Israelis await events— will they be attacked soon or not? Just as the people in Gaza have awaited attacks from Israel for decades. “What goes around comes around“…

Not so much a sign of the times as the shape of things to come.

An example of how Labour, after GE 2024, intends to be an “elected” (by default) tyranny.

Meanwhile, thick “diversity hire”, David Lammy, has been on TV saying that Churchill replaced Chamberlain “a few days before” the outbreak of war with Germany. In fact, it was 8 months after the declaration of war on Germany by Britain and France.

Near-hysteria. Imagine what would happen if Israel were to be invaded.

The only reason why the UK and France are not living under complete Jewish/Zionist tyranny is because the actual numbers of Jews and part-Jews, in proportion to the non-Jews, is small— in the UK, less than half of one percent.

The people, without a leader, without a vanguard party, are disorganized and, therefore, helpless.

In the UK, there is no such vanguard party, not even a germinal one.

We tend to think, at least many people tend to think, that civilization and culture are best-described as a smooth upward spiral or curve, whereas a staggered spiral is more accurate: a period of growth and improvement often followed by a decline, or even a catastrophic fall, before positive evolution can continue.

Two steps forward, one step back“, if you like.

Incredible. See my blog from yesterday for more.

A reference to the Grenfell Tower fire some years ago, after which “Jack Monroe” wrote a pack of lies saying that she went to the scene (60 miles from her home in Essex; she does not drive, either, which in view of her alleged and partly-admitted booze/drug consumption is just as well), and was “waved through” the security cordon by police (who must have known what a huge “celebrity” she was, with her reconstituted tinned pasta —mixed with sardines and curry powder— “food”…), after which she used the plans of the building (how? from where?) to somehow “organize” the scene.

Does any thinking person really believe that any of that was true?

“Jack Monroe” keywords: “fraud”, “conwoman”, “grifter”, “fake”. Among others.

What astounds me, and others, is firstly the sheer relentless and wicked gall of “Jack Monroe”, but then also, maybe more, the wilful gullibility of quite many people who —perhaps desperately— want to believe in something or someone, anything, anyone.

482 utter mugs are still (as of today) sending money to “Jack Monroe” via Patreon, several thousand pounds in total every month.

See my blog from yesterday about that.

I have to admit that, until yesterday, I had never heard of the Greenbelt Festival. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenbelt_Festival. It has, apparently, been happening annually since 1974.

The Wikipedia entry is rather out of date. It speaks of Anita Roddick [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Roddick], the superficially principled “entrepreneuse” (serving “both God and Mammon“?) who died about 16 years ago, in 2007, as if still alive.

More or less true, but to complain about unfairness like that sits badly with me. There is something pathetic about it. Take charge, take power, and order the world the right way…

They never built a civilization, or any culture worthy of the name, and they are unable to maintain the culture and civilization white Europeans have built or, in most cases, even to live in it without being a danger, nuisance or, at the very least, a backward drag.

Black women become fat because white women (and men) are ‘racist’“…

Because “Dr.” Louise Raw has little else in her life except trying to “deplatform” those with social-national (or even conservative-national) views. In socio-political terms, a near-loony.

Maybe, if the USA is stupid enough to launch or provoke a war with Russia, that will be the way to rebuild North America, eliminating unwanted elements at the same time.
