I was in Karlovy Vary in 1988, though for less than 24 hours and did not see that colonnade. Pity.

Morning thoughts

Looks as though billions of pounds are now going to be wasted on “defence”, and to be entirely spent on confronting Russia. Everything else, from pensions to social security, to rail and road improvements, to education, to the NHS and elder social care etc, is going to be sidelined so that the New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government (NWO/ZOG) can prod the Bear.

Russia has 6,000-7,000 nuclear weapons. Is that a country the UK should be provoking? I say no, and Russia in any case is not our enemy, unless the “British” government(s) make Russia our enemy.

In the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, even 1980s, there was justification for both the existence of NATO and for British defence against a real Soviet threat, however overplayed it often was, of an invasion of Western Europe by Warsaw Pact forces. That threat does not now exist.

We have seen how Russian forces have struggled over the past 4 years to subdue even the ramshackle armed forces of the Kiev-regime dictatorship. What in that leads those who pretend to lead the UK to conclude that Russia might invade any more of Eastern Europe, let alone Central or Western Europe? It’s mad.

Actually, why on Earth would Russia want to take over the gradually (steadily) crumbling British society, even were that possible? Russia has no need to rule Britain’s ever-more-crumbling cities, full of blacks and browns.

We are told that Russia may wish to re-absorb, in some form, the Baltic States or pribaltika, and maybe parts of present Moldavia. So? Actually, I doubt it anyway.

I have always supported the right of the Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians (and, indeed, Moldavians) to self-determination, especially culturally, also politically, but the only reason why Russia is now in Cold War-style opposition to those states is because they now belong to NATO, and persist in hostile actions against Russia, actions taken after “consultation” with NATO states (i.e. NWO/ZOG).

There are evil powers in the West pushing for war with Russia. The UK is a large part of that, as can be seen by the fact that huge donations (sometimes called “loans”, but non-repayable, in reality) have been made by the UK and EU to the Kiev regime, and that despite the crying needs of the British people, from whom necessary monies and services have been cut off, with more fake “austerity” to come.

The only real invasion of Britain (and Western/Central Europe) happening, or even likely to happen, is the migration invasion, a deliberate flooding of white Europe by blacks and browns. The “British” government is not only not stopping that, but actually facilitating it, by providing non-Europeans with free houses, money, services etc. It’s treason, in ordinary language.

The Soviet Union had an expansionist military doctrine, a supremacist ideology (Marxism-Leninism), and very powerful conventional military forces, as well as sometimes very effective intelligence agencies. None of those even apply to contemporary Russia.

My preferred policy would be for the UK to leave NATO (which outlived its usefulness by the mid-1990s), and to cultivate closer relations with Russia. We would get cheap or even cost-price oil and gas, as well as a huge market in Russia for British goods and services. We should also be able to redeploy the billions set to be wasted on armament to projects and services, and infrastructure, seriously needed here at home.

Let’s reset British-Russian relations.

[“Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, set up astroturf groups to persuade advertisers to boycott the Canary website and so stifle close-to-the-bone criticisms of Starmer. The Canary has suffered financially ever since.

Now Lloyds Bank has inexplicably de-banked them.

Don’t expect the British establishment to play fair. It’s got a democracy to hollow out, a genocide to support, and a planet to pillage.”]

Nigel Farage was “de-banked” by Coutts, of course (though had it reversed, and collected compensation). Sam Melia, his wife Laura Towler, Mark Collett and others also suffered in the same way, via high street banks.

A kind of crypto-police state harassment of people, making their lives very difficult for socio-political reasons.

The banks are merely instruments. People, some in those banks, others elsewhere, made those decisions; individual people, and small groups. They should be sought out, identified, punished.

Morgan McSweeney I have already assessed on the blog (use the search box for more). Jewish lobby. Israel lobby. Labour Friends of Israel. Mandelson cabal. Epstein cabal.

[“When the Fukushima nuclear disaster forced thousands of people to flee in March 2011, they left with only what they could carry.

Homes were abandoned, farms were deserted, and countless animals were left behind. Many owners believed they would be back in a few days.

They never imagined they would be gone for months, or even forever.

For those animals, every passing day meant more hunger, more loneliness, and less hope.

But one man couldn’t walk away.

His name is Naoto Matsumura. After evacuating, he made the heartbreaking decision to return to the radioactive exclusion zone around the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

While the world saw an empty, dangerous place, he saw thousands of innocent lives waiting for someone who might never come.

Every day, he fed abandoned dogs, cats, cattle, ostriches, and other animals that had no one left. Many had spent days searching for the families they had lost. Some ran to him for food.

Others simply stayed close, as if they finally felt safe again. With no electricity, limited supplies, and constant risk, Matsumura devoted his life to caring for creatures that the disaster had forgotten.

His selfless compassion earned him the nickname “The Guardian of Fukushima’s Animals,” but to the animals he rescued, he was something even greater.

He was hope.

In a place where so much had been lost, one man’s kindness reminded the world that even in the darkest moments, humanity can still shine through.

Faith in humanity restored.“]

Burnham already shows every sign of being a disaster even worse than has been Starmer-stein.

Not only the ghastly James Purnell, but even the horrible Alan Milburn are apparently advising Burnham now.

The human spirit.

May not be so of all Jews, or even all prominent Jews, but it certainly seems to be a widespread sentiment encountered with, or among, many.

Attrition is still slowly wearing down, and grinding down, the forces of the Kiev regime.

Someone I Met Recently

A couple of days ago, I needed to buy a new mouse for my laptop computer and also to ask advice on a technical issue. I decided to go to a PC World outlet about 15 miles from where I now live. The PC World store was outside a small town on the coast of Southern England. I was there by 0900 hrs, its opening time. A routine matter, of course, but I felt that I should blog, briefly, about it because it confirmed some of what I have been saying online for years.

There was only one other customer in the large hangar-like store at nine in the morning. I was greeted on going to the service desk by a youngish blonde woman who looked rather fed up. I feared that she would be surly or unhelpful. I could not have been more wrong.

The woman, who was not as young as she looked (she turned out to have a daughter aged 16; well, the police now also look young to me…) dealt with my technical question in a matter of seconds (completely correctly, it later transpired). She also directed me to the part of of the store which displayed “mice”. I chose one, brought it back and, the store now being empty, was told that I could pay for it there at the enquiries desk rather than going to a check-out. I did that.

It might be asked at this point why I am bothering to write about this? Well, I ended up having a chat with the blonde woman employee who had been so useful and helpful, and what she said was very concerning. I don’t know why she confided in me, whom she had only just met, except that people often do. They seem to divine that I can keep a secret, for one thing, though that does not apply in this case. I think that people also know that I want to help if I can.

The blonde woman worked full-time in the PC World store, but lived in a housing association property and received Housing Benefit to pay for the rent or part of the rent. That alone confirmed some of my expressed views over the years. Here she was, in a full-time job, and moreover one which actually required some skill and knowledge, which job she was doing really competently too (as I myself saw), yet was unable to pay her modest rent (after all, this was a housing association property) out of her pay!

Now this is just plain wrong. Here we have a large chain, part of a group (Dixons Carphone, formerly Dixons Group) which, in the financial year 2017-2018, made (pre-tax) profits of £382 million, yet is not paying its staff enough so that they can even pay their domestic rent! Instead, PC World relies on the State to stump up monies (Housing Benefit and also, perhaps, Working Tax Credit— I did not talk to the woman in such detail).

In other words, the profits of the employer are being bolstered by the State, meaning taxpayers (and including, at least via National Insurance and VAT etc, the employee herself in this case).

Previous visits to PC World had been far less satisfactory. That woman had made the difference, yet was struggling to survive. When will British businesses realize that they are only as good as their employees, at all levels?

There is something wrong about a system or society in which the pay received by an employee for full-time work is not enough to allow her even to pay her rent.

Further, I was told that, because the Housing Benefit was delayed by a few days, routinely, the woman had fallen into arrears and, though the arrears were always only in existence for a few days, the Housing Association had taken her to court at least once and, as a result, she had had to pay £100-something in court costs and also a financial impost of about the same to the Housing Association! This surely must be seen as unfair and unjust.

The woman also told me that her daughter was autistic (I do not know, of course, to what extent) and had been getting Disability Living Allowance (DLA) in respect of that. Recently, the daughter had reached the age of 16. As a result, she had been forced off DLA and forced to undertake a “test” for “Personal Independence Payment” or PIP [off-piste, someone must one day do a sketch on the vulgar cheesy names for such things: “Personal Independence Payment”, “Jobseeker’s Allowance”, “Job Centre” etc].

The daughter had, subsequently, been awarded nothing. So suddenly, this girl, long diagnosed as autistic, had now, despite the diagnosis and her previously accepted status, been cut off from State funds by reason only of a change in policy by government (Iain Dunce Duncan Smith and the jew “lord” Freud, Esther McVey, not to mention David Gauke and Chris Grayling etc).

I went away from that encounter at PC World thinking about how unjust and in fact how simply inefficient the system in the UK is, in that instead of a person being able to work and provide for herself and her daughter and/or get help from the State in a simple manner, she (a useful member of society at that) was being made anxious and being forced to jump through hoops in order to survive.

The present system is not efficient, is callous and unfair and is a complicated maze. Hopeless. Parliament is hopeless. “Democracy” (as we know it) is hopeless. The MPs and “peers” are hopeless. Business is not pulling its weight. The people are not only not being helped but are being impeded unnecessarily by the overall system in which they live and work.
