Historical note: Father Denis Fahey

Denis FaheyC.S.Sp. (3 July 1883 – 21 January 1954) was an Irish Catholic priest. Fahey promoted the Catholic social teaching of Christ the King, and was involved in Irish politics through his organisation Maria Duce. Fahey believed that “the world must conform to Our Divine Lord, not He to it”, defending the theological concept of the Mystical Body of Christ. This often saw Fahey in conflict with systems which he viewed as promoting “naturalism” against Catholic order – particularly communismfreemasonry and rabbinic Judaism.[1] His writings were deeply anti-Semitic, Fahey stating that “we must combat Jewish efforts to permeate the world with naturalism. In that sense, as there is only one divine plan for order in the world, every sane thinker must be an anti-Semite”.[2][3]” [Wikipedia]

Father Fahey contended that “of 59 members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1935, 56 were Jews, and the remaining three were married to Jews.” [Wikipedia].

In economic views, Fahey was a critic of the Lockean liberal capitalist system and what he regarded as the “social good” being made subordinate to the needs of the market. He pointed to usury being contrary to Catholic social teaching and spoke out against the newspaper industry and its power to form public opinion, he claimed that finance capitalism had come to dominate politics and economics, which it was meant to be subordinate to. He criticised “the unlimited competition, unscrupulous underselling and feverish advertising of the present day” and opined that capitalism led to extreme inequality, “ruthless, unchecked […] tended towards the concentration of capital in the hands of the relatively few.[33]

Fahey also blamed capitalism “with its excessive individualism and uncontrolled seeking for profit”, for causing a backlash which naturally attracted many people to embracing communism.” [Wikipedia]

In terms of socio-economics, it seems that Father Fahey was close to the views expressed by such as G.K. Chesterton and his literary creation Father Brown, as well as many in the interwar period of the 1920s and 1930s who were generally in the milieu of the aftermath of the Arts and Crafts movement in the UK.

Very worthy, but merely standing there in protest, or as protection for his child, is not enough. ‘Nuff said…

As for “stabbed“, something even worse is more likely.

In a village in Donegal! Just shows how far the ripples of the migration-invasion have reached. In that little Irish village (2,600 inhabitants), 70+ of the bastards are imposed by the System. The invaders will be parasites—at absolute best; at worst (and that is far more likely) they will be criminals, scavengers and predators, who may well also be enemies of European people and our whole culture and way of life.

Almost entirely white British children, and targeted by, almost invariably, predatory and non-white untermenschen.

[“I’ve never seen a Prime Minister gaslight on this scale before. Labour have decriminalised illegal migration. Labour have presided over record numbers of illegal migrants Labour have expanded the use of hotels for illegal migrants, costing you £2 billion a year. Labour are forcing British taxpayers to subsidise big business to outbid the British people in the housing market so they can prioritise people who break our laws. And Labour are literally forcing British workers to pay more tax than Indian workers … in Britain.”]

Starmer-stein and his Labour Friends of Israel Cabinet are complete fakes, and treacherous. His “big announcement” on immigration will accomplish very little even to slow mass invasion of these islands, let alone stop the influx. As for getting rid of those already here, and their offspring— forget it.

[“The man who decriminalised illegal migration, removed age checks, gave tax exemptions to foreign workers, encouraged migration from India, expanded hotels for illegal migrants, removed the only deterrent we had, sent boat numbers soaring to 50% higher than where they were last year, is using taxpayer money to prioritise foreigners over Brits in the private housing market, and liberalised immigration from Afghanistan is currently claiming he is “regaining control of the immigration system”. Gaslighter-in-Chief.“]

The Overton Window is shifting, visibly. I hope, though, that the voters of the UK see through the fakery of Starmer-stein and his cronies. Vote (at present) Reform, break up the System as it now is, based on the fake rivalry of Con and Lab; then social-nationalism can take off.

When I started at the English Bar in the early 1990s, I was not infrequently briefed by solicitors acting for the PKK. Nothing political in my being briefed, though— I simply got one brief, won the case, then got others off the back of that, as commonly happens at the Bar. As a matter of fact, I tend to favour the Turks (or did, before the secular legacy of Ataturk started to be eroded).

The PKK is apparently leaving guerrilla warfare behind; it has therefore decided to follow in the footsteps of many another “terrorist” “army”, inter alia the IRA, ETA, FARC etc.

That ignorant woman scribbler, Allison Pearson, makes common cause with the worst of the Jewish lobby (“Zionist lobby”, Israel lobby” etc), the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”], and its self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”, a proven social media troll and maker of false accusations to police etc, who can be informally called “Slitherman”.

Allison Pearson is supporting the very lobby that is behind most of the attacks on free speech and freedom of expression in this country.

As for that Julian Foulkes fellow, the retired policeman, if he —like scribbler Allison Pearson—supports Israel and the Jewish lobby in the UK, he must be absolutely asinine.

Exactly.

“UK Lawyers for Israel” [“UKLFI”] was behind my 2016 disbarment. Its membership and support cadre aligns closely with that of the malicious/evil “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”.

Not just because of the “little boats”. Because of the “legal” immigration invasion too.

It goes even beyond that. The discontent is also by reason of the whole multicultural/multiracial society which, for decades, has been slowly killing our more civilized British/European society.

Indeed, the burgeoning popular discontent goes beyond even the cultural/racial factors, and includes the fact that society is becoming more stressed, but with fewer material and other rewards for most British people. Also, the perception, largely if not entirely true, that “nothing works properly any more“.

Running on empty, like most of Britain’s institutions.

Saturday quiz

Well, slightly to my surprise, I defeated political journalist John Rentoul once again this week. Rentoul scored 4/10, but I trumped that, scoring 6/10 (admittedly, was unsure about question 8). I did not know the answers to questions 1, 2, 4, and 5.

Journalistic accuracy

Never accept, without checking, whatever a journalistic scribbler may say. I was just reading a not-uninteresting piece in The Oldie magazine, and about the Metropolitan Police in the 1970s, which article was written in 2023 by Duncan Campbell, a well-known journalist and author who was, arguably, better-known in the 1980s than he now is.

https://www.theoldie.co.uk/blog/partners-in-crime

Duncan Campbell is over 80 now, and married to that striking actress, Julie Christie. Their political views are, I think, quite similar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Campbell_(journalist,_born_1944)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Christie

Reading Campbell’s nicely-written piece, I notice that he says (in 2023) of the famous or infamous ex-cat burglar, Peter Scott, that “Scott now lives in a council flat in King’s Cross, the proceeds from the odd Vermeer and Sophia Loren’s diamonds long gone.

In fact, Scott died in 2013.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Scott_(thief)

As a matter of fact, I reviewed Scott’s memoirs on Amazon UK many years ago now.

My Amazon book reviews are now unavailable— the usual pack of Jews had me “cancelled” about 15 years ago, around 2010, from reviewing books both on Amazon UK (where I was one of the top book reviewers) and Amazon USA. A Jew formerly resident in the
UK but now living in Ra’anana (a suburb-town in the Tel Aviv area of Israel/Occupied Palestine) was the main instigator.

Scott lived, in his heyday, in the less-prestigious outer part of Maida Vale, whereas I lived at one time in Little Venice (also part of Maida Vale):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Venice

My (intermittent, from 1976 to 1996) times in Little Venice overlapped with Scott’s time in the area (he used the tiny “gangster pub”, the Windsor Castle, in Lanark Place, a pub at one time supposedly owned by Barbara Windsor, who was tied up with all sorts of gangsters and other criminals).

[The old Windsor Castle pub, in Lanark Place W.9., not to be confused with another and much larger pub with the same name in the outer regions of Maida Vale by Harrow Road; I believe both are now permanently closed, the Little Venice one (above) now trading as a Korean food outlet. Sign of the times…]

I occasionally had a drink there. One morning, waiting for the no.6 bus to take me to the High Court (I was appearing as Counsel), I observed the aftermath of a police raid there; about 3 or 4 police cars blocking Lanark Place. God knows why.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Windsor

I enjoyed Campbell’s Oldie article, even though I already knew most of the facts noted in it.

Always check the accuracy of anything that anyone in and of the msm says.

A flying boat capable of going nearly 6,000 miles without refuelling, at a cruising speed of 360 mph; maximum speed 380 mph.

The 105 passengers were carried in First and Tourist cabins.

As with the 1930s German airships, the Empire flying boats made in the UK were in some respects superior to the flying machines of today. As Francis Bacon observed, just because a thing is superseded by another thing does not mean that the latter is superior.

“Boris Johnson is no threat. He is the architect of all the decline & chaos you see around you today, all the mass uncontrolled immigration. If an architect destroyed your home you would never invite him back.”

[Matt Goodwin]

The only “threat” is that a huge number of dummies have still, after everything, not yet awoken to the utter uselessness of “Boris” Johnson.

I think that I can claim to have been one of the first not personally acquainted with Johnson to have realized that he was not only unfit morally to be MP, minister, and then Prime Minister, but actually intellectually incapable of doing any of those jobs.

I expressed my views first on Amazon book reviews from about 2002 (but was “cancelled” by Jewish lobby pressure sometime around 2010 or 2011); then on Twitter from 2010 until Jews again brought pressure on Twitter to “cancel” me (in 2018). Also, on the blog from 2017 to present.

Having said that, there are still a huge number of idiots, mainly Conservative Party members and voters, still willing to support “Boris”, so it is not inconceivable that he could return to Parliament, get Carpetbagger Kemi binned, then take over the “Conservative” Party again. I doubt, though, that that would propel the Cons to victory over Lab; it might save some existing Con Party seats, however.

If the Cons were set to lose about 80 seats, the loss might be reduced by half. Most of Reform’s likely victories henceforth, though, will be in seats presently held by Labour, not by the Con Party.

In the early 1940s, Jewish scientists created the atom bomb, with the idea of using it in Europe, especially on German cities. There was a possibility, theoretically, that the first test detonation would set Earth’s atmosphere on fire. They took the risk because to them, as Jews, killing the world’s only National Socialist state took priority over the survival of all life on Earth. See the kind of thinking they had? Zelensky is no different.

To me, provisionally, this Chernobyl attack looks very much like a “false flag”, trying to stop Trump and/or the EU leaders talking to Putin.

The fact is that Zelensky is not really a player . Without American or EU arms, ammunition, money, and other aid, “Ukraine” (the Kiev regime) cannot continue to prosecute this drawn-out and agonizing war. Cut off the supply, and Zelensky’s regime implodes within days, certainly within weeks. He is a man of straw.

Does anyone really watch BBC Question Time these days? I would guess a small tranche of the population, 55+ or 65+ in years, mostly. People who fail to see that it is just a rigged system propaganda show.

Looking at tweets, seems that one panellist was ignorant Labour-label expenses cheat Jacqui Smith [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqui_Smith], who is basically a fraudster (she even claimed on her expenses for her husband’s TV porn-watching!) A total fraud. Member of Labour Friends of Israel, of course. Also, entirely without any intelligent or cultural mentality of any use. Chucked out of Parliament by the voters, only to be given a fake title of “Baroness” and put into the discredited “House of Lords”.

Oh, and the Jew scribbler George Monbiot was yet another System-approved guest last night, it seems, droning on about “appeasement” and saying that “Ukraine” (the Jewish/Zionist regime in Kiev) should be given “whatever it wants“.

Fiona Bruce, presenter, had asked about how Ukraine might “defeat Russia“. Of course Monbiot could not answer, and just waffled, because “Ukraine” cannotdefeat Russia“, a proper state (unlike “Ukraine), and with a population several times that of Ukraine, with a proper army, its own supplies of arms, ammunition, money, food, oil and gas etc, and a territory many times that of Ukraine (even on the pre-2014 borders).

The way things are going, Israel may be living on borrowed time. If Iran develops nuclear warheads, half the Jews in the world (those in Israel/Occupied Palestine) may go up in smoke.

Starmer is either a political idiot (maybe an idiot anyway, for all his “KC” and former “DPP” ranks…), or a puppet of “the usual suspects”; maybe both. I think both, really.

Imagine betting other people’s, the British people’s, money and future on a one-trick-pony like Zelensky, who has already lost.

Those tweets refer to the dishonest and/or negligent legal advice given to at least two of the three losing defendants in the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased) and Cantor.

…and who could blame them? A fake “state” headed by a drug-fuelled Jew-Zionist former comedian who is, at best, a loose cannon.

Is it only now that Zelensky realized that “Ukraine” was never going to join NATO? Yet stupid Starmer still pretends that the contrary is the case…

I think that that says more about Starmer’s lack of geopolitical grasp than anything. There again, Starmer is just an Israel-lobby puppet anyway.

Entry of a candidate-state into NATO (under its own rules) has to be approved by all NATO member-states. Several are now against even pretending that “Ukraine” can join or will join. The USA is the most important but others too. Hungary, Germany (though the Germans may pretend otherwise); I think a few others as well.

The pretence seems to be “not this year”, and not next year; maybe in or around 2030. Maybe. Maybe not. I think never. The fake “Ukraine” state may not even exist by 2030, or even 2026.

How long can NATO even exist? 2028? Were the USA to pull out of NATO, about two-thirds of its overall funding (funding including the funding of national forces and their arms and armament etc) would disappear.

Likewise, were the USA to take over Greenland (thus provoking Denmark, a full NATO member), the alliance would probably fall to pieces one way or the other.

It even occurs to me that Trump’s recent statements about taking over both Greenland (territory of Denmark) and Canada (a full NATO member) were actually designed to weaken NATO. I have no doubt that Putin and his circle welcomed (secretly) Trump’s outbursts. Is that too “conspiracy theory”? Maybe. Unsure.

Total insanity. After already giving £101 MILLION to refurbish a removal centre to detain illegal migrants, Labour is now offering a £110 MILLION contract to cover welfare & health services for 130 migrants. Leave the ECHR. Put in deterrent. Stop the boats.

Absolutely mad.

Yvette Cooper should be [REDACTED]. Not only an anti-British would-be dictator and expenses fraudster, and also yet another member of Labour Friends of Israel, but totally incompetent as well.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week 7/10, thus just beating political journalist John Rentoul, who scored 6/10. I did not know the answers to questions 6, 7, and 10. I admit that my (correct) answers to q.’s 4 and 9 were educated guesses.

Blog readers

I am always interested to see from where hits on the blog come. In the past week, from 16 different countries (inc. UK). Of course, with advances in technology, you cannot say for sure where readers are located; some may be, say, in Australia but appear to be in the USA, but I daresay most locations are accurate.

I was just looking at the apparent location of readers since I started the blog towards the end of 2016, so 8 years ago. Readers from 155 countries and territories in the world, so from about three-quarters of the world. There are 195 states in the world, plus some extra territories that do not have that status (such as Antarctica— and, yes I have had the odd hit from there, presumably from some scientist at a polar research base).

I have occasionally mused on who it might be in (inter alia) Lesotho, Antarctica, Greenland, Burkina Faso, the Aaland Islands (maybe I can guess who that particular one is), American Samoa, Chad, Tadjikistan, or Congo-Kinshasa, that is reading my thoughts and ideas.

The largest number of hits has always been from the UK, though (about 70%, with a further 10% from the USA).

The readership of the blog, on a daily basis, is still modest, never reaching over a thousand on any one day, and often not reaching even a hundred (I do not publicize the blog anywhere, and am not on Twitter/X or Facebook etc), but I have always taken the view that “one human soul is a big audience“.

There is a good possibility that that dog will be the most welcome border-crosser, and the least problematic.

Risible how System political scribblers, ivory-tower academics etc really still think that elections in the 2020s are still won by ridiculous local political footsoldiers knocking on doors, disturbing and and irritating householders, or by the voters reading the absolute shite put out on leaflets etc. This is 2024, not 1924…

John Rentoul seems unsure. He neither endorses nor dissents. He probably imagines that people actually read those (mostly) LibLabCon leaflets at election-time. Wrong; most, maybe 99%, go in the bin unread.

As for “average age 61, opposed to net zero“, what about “almost all (real) British” (as well)?

As far as I know, the Kiev regime has not claimed any successes since its very costly incursion into the Kursk region of Russia a few months ago.

Political interference (direct or indirect) in sentencing.

My landmark legal victory against @BristolUni is being appealed. My case established that anti-Zionist beliefs are protected under the Equality Act 2010. The University wants to overturn this. But if we win at the Employment Appeal Tribunal, we’ll strengthen this precedent, which is invaluable and necessary for pro-Palestine campaigners across Britain and beyond.

Blast(s) from the past

I just re-read the blog post about the infamous New Zealand massacre, which happened nearly 6 years ago, in 2019. Apparently, that blog post has had a rather small, disappointingly-small, number of hits; frankly, I think it is still worth reading. Anyway, here it is:
