“The Home Secretary has scolded a police force for sending five officers to a family-owned pub to seize a collection of golliwog dolls, it was revealed yesterday.

An anonymous complaint was made about the White Hart Inn in Grays, Essex, and 15 dolls were seized because their presence was a suspected ‘hate crime‘.”

[Daily Mail]

The same Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, who is married to a Jew, and recently appeared at the Jewish-Zionist snoop and strongarm squad, “Community Security Trust” [“CST”], vowing to crack down on any (free?) speech that mentions Jews or Jewish behaviour…

“Jewish communities are to be better protected from vile antisemitic attacks with a £1 million funding boost and a new dedicated police taskforce.”

Note the vituperative and not very “official” language.

“The new funding will bring the total amount allocated through the Jewish Community Protective Security Grant to £122 million since 2015.”

The simple and harmless pleasures of the past, such as the 1960s Black and White Minstrels (not my usual kind of entertainment but that is not the point), are now the target of brainwashed and joyless “wokes”, some of whom inhabit the remnants of the (?) all-but-useless police forces.

The whole Western finance-capital model, as it has existed since the late 1980s, is a house of cards ready to collapse.

I would love to see warmongering one-time soldier Ellwood [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobias_Ellwood] removed from Parliament. An unpleasant character altogether, and one who not only seems to want war between the UK and both Russia and China but also has a Reserve role in the notorious online propaganda outfit, the 77th Brigade, in the rank of Colonel or at least Lt.Col., rather higher than the rank he held as a Regular officer (Captain). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/77th_Brigade_(United_Kingdom).

His parents’ origins and work overseas seem to be slightly mysterious; he himself was born in New York City, and was educated in both Bonn and Vienna, at the time (1970s/1980s) both major centres for Cold War intelligence and espionage activity.

See also: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11007353/Village-fury-Tory-MP-Tobias-Ellwood-runs-1-000-cat-drives-away.html. He ran over a cat in the village where he lives (Holdenhurst, very close to Bournemouth) and left it for dead; it died not long afterward, and furious local people attacked Ellwood’s £1M+ converted barn .

If the Bournemouth East seat were to be lost to Labour, that would be for the first time since its creation in 1974: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bournemouth_East_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections.

If Bournemouth East is now in the frame as a possible Labour gain, the Conservative Party is in real trouble despite the apparently narrowing polls.

Looks as if that “grifter”, Amanda Solloway, may have to return to working in Sainsbury’s or somewhere. Incredible that someone like that could even be an MP; she even made it briefly —for a couple of months— onto the lowest rung of the Government ladder as a PUS [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Solloway] under that clown, “Boris” Johnson.

Amanda Solloway’s Wikipedia entry has been heavily massaged over the years to delete damaging material. I see that any mention of her “controversial” husband (maybe now ex-husband or “partner”…I forget) has been expunged. Other material about Amanda Solloway herself has been removed.

Derby North was the seat (2010-2015 and 2017-2019) of the Corbyn loyalist, Chris Williamson, who was expelled from the Labour Party in 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Williamson_(politician).

Ha ha! Not for nothing are the people of that area known as “turnip-heads”!

Looks as though former Labour MP (and total ignoramus), Claudia Webbe [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Webbe] will also be heading to shelfstacking or the dole queue…

So both Truss and Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwarteng) seem likely to stay on as MPs. There really is no justice in this world.

Of course, his every action shows that Jewish-lobby puppet Keir Starmer would (probably will) make a rotten Prime Minister, but then look at the last half-dozen.

No sign of the “expected” Kiev-regime counter-offensive. When the ground is firmer, and the sun hotter, we shall see.

Diary Blog, 5 April 2023, with a reminiscence about a Soviet ocean-going yacht, and some thoughts arising

Diary Blog, 5 April 2022

Memories of long-ago triggered

I happened to see the 2008 article below:

https://www.sailingworld.com/racing/fazisi-pioneer-sizes-team-russia/

In 1989, when the Soviet crew of the Whitbread Round-the-World Race contender, Fazisi, were in the yachting hub of Hamble (Hampshire), I was also there for a couple of days. I was, with my then girlfriend, an Anglo-Russian (the Russian part being from pre-revolutionary White Russian origins), visiting my parents, who lived in Hamble at that time. In fact, they lived in a small private road, Crowsport, built upon in the 1920s, and only a stone’s throw from the marina where the Soviet yacht was being made ready. You could see the tops of the masts of the yachts in the marina from their house.

Having heard about the Soviet yacht (this was about 2 years before the official end of the Soviet Union in 1991), we decided to walk down to see the yacht and maybe say hello to its crew.

The yacht was there, crew aboard, and we started talking to one of the sailors, a handsome blond giant who was very taken with my girlfriend and, in a polite way, said at the end that we (it sounded more like she —not sure that I was included!) would be welcome to visit any time (she didn’t, though).

The crew spoke Russian language only, apparently.

I remember that the blond sailor said that he was from “Novgorod by Moscow“, more or less a suburb, to distinguish it from the large and historic town halfway between Moscow and the then Leningrad.

We were briefly introduced to the captain, who was carrying a rope, and who seemed stressed. He was going ashore, presumably to the marina office or repair sheds. He nodded to us, maybe shook hands (I do not recall), and trudged away.

The article above, written in 2008, mentions “tragedy” during the race, but does not mention the fact that the captain of the Fazisi committed suicide on the journey round the world, hanging himself in a wood in Uruguay: see https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-10-13-sp-245-story.html.

In the end, the Fazisi, which had been delivered to Heathrow in one main piece (minus masts) in an Aeroflot cargo plane, the largest in the world, then on a road transporter, did not win the ocean race but still put in a creditable performance, including a one-day run of 386 miles which may have been a world record for a monohull.

That was a more hopeful time for Russia and the world. Sovietism had collapsed in all but name, all the chatter was about Russia becoming partner to the West, rather than enemy, and no-one was thinking about nuclear war any more.

This was before the horde of Western carpetbaggers hit Russia in the 1990s, and before the pack of Jew “oligarchs” got their claws into Russia’s money and natural resources during the Yeltsin years.

It was also before it became publicly known, in the 1990s, that the USA had a “secret” game plan to keep Russia down, and the USA as “world’s only superpower”.

Another, and even less-likely, scenario in 1989 was that Ukraine would break away from Russia, and then much later be at war with it. The captain of the Fazisi was himself of Ukrainian origin, judging by his name (Gryshenko).

It all seems a long time ago now.

“Musicians” seems to be the self-designation of Wagner Group contract soldiers, as I noted recently on the blog. Presumably a reference to Richard Wagner.

How shallow. Immigration is a key factor in dragging down wages, and overwhelming the NHS and other services. It is not a discrete or a side issue unconnected to the others.

“You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all the people all of the time“… [Abraham Lincoln].

As a voter, you can vote for the misnamed “Conservative” Party, which at times has talked a semi-good game on immigration but done little or nothing to fulfil the big talk talked, or you can vote equally-misnamed “Labour”, which does not even bother to pretend that it would slow (let alone stop, or reverse) mass immigration, but weasels about “managing” it better, meaning automatically allowing most applicants for asylum or visas of various kinds to enter the UK.

They call it “democracy”…

I once met a fellow, boyfriend of a girl I knew slightly, whose work was as a balloon pilot based in Bristol, which I believe is one of the main UK centres of such activity. I was a belated Bar Finals student then (late 1980s), and being a balloon pilot seemed a wonderfully carefree way to make a living.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-11935021/MICK-HUME-Sinister-Bill-turn-workplace-surveillance-state.html.

“In practice, the Worker Protection Bill is a sinister threat to our freedom of speech. It will impose on employers a responsibility to take ‘all reasonable steps’ to prevent their staff being offended.

That can only lead to bosses trying to impose pre-emptive forms of censorship to avoid being dragged to a tribunal. Do we want to see our lively pubs reduced to a state of silent sterility, as if they were public libraries rather than public houses?“

[Daily Mail]

That is exactly what the “woke” activists want…

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11935369/The-total-collapse-break-Putins-Russia-begun-Zelensky-official-predicts.html

“The total collapse and break-up of Vladimir Putin‘s Russia has begun and the West must be prepared to deal with the potentially catastrophic aftermath, a top official in Volodymyr Zelensky’s Government has warned.

Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, said the West must be on high alert, having in the past failed to be ready for the collapse of the Soviet Union. 

He said Kyiv [Kiev] believed Russia was about to fall apart in ‘spectacular’ fashion within the next few years.

But he warned that China currently holds the upper hand over the Kremlin’s imminent capitulation. He said if the West allowed China to take territory in Russia, a new grave problem would be created.“

[Daily Mail]

Normally, I would discount anything said by members of the corrupt and dictatorial Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, but in this case the prediction may be accurate, at least in part.

Russia today has no ideology beyond pro forma Great-Russian shadow nationalism and chauvinism, mixed with a pathetic 1930s/1940s pseudo “anti-Nazi” propaganda campaign (re. Ukraine), which campaign fell flat as soon as it was introduced a year or two ago.

In the past (pre-Russian Civil War, and pre-1917/18), there was Tsarism and the Russian Orthodox Church; in the formulation of Pobedonostsev, “Autocracy, Orthodoxy, Nationality” (Правосла́вие, самодержа́вие, наро́дность).

Later, there was Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism, which from the early 1940s mixed elements of the previous “Holy Russia” into the mix. Post-Bolshevik messianism mixed with geopolitical expansionism and the other bits and pieces.

After 1989, Russia and many of its people signed up to Western materialism and the largely but not entirely (of course) fake “liberal democracy” Schauspiel. That, in its very active phase, lasted for only about a decade. The Russian people soon discovered, like the cat in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, that the “freedom” promised by the semi-Americanism under Yeltsin included some unwelcome “freedoms”, such as the “freedom” to be homeless, jobless, cold, and hungry (though, to be sure, Sovietism itself had produced plenty of most of those, especially before the 1960s).

This lack of overarching ideology is Russia’s primary problem, the one which underpins all the others (e.g. the poor morale of the Russian Army and intelligence services).

Russia has to find an ideology which is both intellectually coherent, and able to inspire the Russian masses emotionally.

Looking at the situation now, Russia has only one indisputable trump card— its strategic nuclear arsenal. In all other respects, Russia has few if any cards to play. So far, its military machine has proven so poor that it has had to be stiffened by the mercenary Wagner Group. As for the SVR and GRU, Stalin would have shot half of them by now. The same goes for much of the senior officer corps.

Russia does seem to be reprising its historical role of the “colossus on legs of straw“. Judging from the outside (I have not been there since 2007, and now have no connection with Russian laws, business, or people), it seems to me to have only limited internal stability, though at the same time little significant political opposition to the present Putin government.

I doubt that there will be a split into separate countries, if only because Russians remain one people (albeit with hundreds of minor nationalities alongside), with one language (ditto), and a shared history. What might happen, and has happened since 1991, is increasing autonomy of various far-flung territories.

Ukraine was always almost one country with Russia. The present war is almost a civil war, which may explain its bitterness, and its sometimes barbaric standards.

In the end, Ukraine will probably be devastated and then repopulated with Russian settlers, at least east of the Dnieper. We shall see.

One thing is for sure: if Putin does not do something to break the static situation that now exists in eastern Ukraine, he will follow the Soviet Union and DDR, and Nikolai II, into history, and sooner than he ever imagined.

I happened to see the YouTube video below: DDR (East Germany) in 1988. I was there in the summer of that year, though in the south of the country, and only for a couple of days. I have blogged before how, though there was no sign of imminent collapse, yet the DDR seemed to be a kind of stage-set of a state rather than a real one. Just impressions here and there.

About 14 months later, in 1989, the whole system collapsed and, in a final irony, the President, Honecker, sought political asylum in Chile, the government of which the DDR had for years called “fascist” etc. I recall having been very amused by that.

Anyone watching such a parade in 1988 would have thought that the display exuded statist stability and permanence. So much for that.

Does our own system in 2023 present even the appearance of stability? I think not. Perhaps the difference is that, in 1988 and 1989, the East German population could look to the West, to —immediately— the wealth and relative freedom of the Bundesrepublik and then, beyond German borders, to the rest of the EC (as the EU then was), and to the Americas.

To what, to where, can our people look for a potentially better life? Nowhere.

Incidentally, here is another DDR ceremony, this one in 1979, utilizing marches that include old German ones and at least one from 1920s Bolshevism (slightly pre-Soviet Union):

The marching steps could also have been seen in both the Second and Third Reich.

“Jack Monroe” never did sue MP Lee Anderson. Neither has she refunded any of the monies donated (needless to say)…

I looked today at Amazon. The “Jack Monroe” book Thrifty Kitchen, which bombed on release a couple of months ago, is now no. 26,957 from the top of the bestseller list. This indicates sales of about 160 copies per month at its new reduced price of £8.50 (original price was nearly £20, but that was immediately reduced to £9.99), out of which “Jack Monroe” may be getting between 50p and £1 per copy. New or near-new copies can be had on Amazon for as little as £5.

No wonder that she wants to keep going the Patreon scam, which must still be providing several thousand pounds each month, presumably taxfree as well.

Another (Chinese?) social control measure. How long before that sort of control arrives in the UK? The police of today, often politically-correct/”woke” automatons, would enforce it— we saw that during the “Covid” “panicdemic” and “scamdemic”.

Stray thought

Most of what one does, in any given occupation, is a waste of time from the point of view of the individual’s own utility or satisfaction.

For example, it is hardly a new idea that, in many ordinary, modest, occupations, one almost works in order to pay out to be able to work.

Leave aside highly-paid professional or other activity and focus on modestly-paid work (let alone minimum-wage activity). The employee, say an office bod, needs to spend out in order to get clothing for the office, say a few suits.

He (or she) needs to pay out for daily travel (which can be very considerable in cost), for luncheon food (even if only a roll and coffee, which might amount to £10 a day in Central London), and for various other things as well.

All so that the employee can work at all. Then there might be occasional or regular socializing, in which said office bod is more or less expected to participate. The resulting remuneration, after tax and “National Insurance” (more tax), is scarcely enough to do more than pay for the costs of having a job, plus food and basic shelter. Maybe not even that.

Likewise, look at someone who wins on a lottery, say £50,000. People say “like a year’s (or two years) pay” within the usual range in the UK. Not so, though. In terms of real pay, even a relatively modest sum such as £50,000 is huge, because most people, after all their taxes, costs, and expenses, have almost nothing left at the end of a month, or even year.

The Jew Zelensky is somewhere between dictator and figurehead, or between figurehead and puppet, and his regime has shot or imprisoned its political opponents, closed down trade unions, and repressed free speech.

It is noticeable that, in Western news photos and footage, the Ukrainian children repatriated to Ukraine, after having spent time in Russia, always look happy and well-fed.

Why on Earth would Russia, which left Marxism-Leninism behind 30+ years ago, want to invade Western Europe (inc. UK)? How could it even try? The whole idea is ludicrous.

American memories

Idly “surfing the net”, I came across a brief obituary of a lady I had met a few times between late 1989 and early 1993, during which years I spent about half my time in the USA (mostly in New Jersey and New York City). I shall not name the lady or her family.

In 1989, I travelled with my then fiancee from New Jersey (near the Jersey Shore) to Fox Chapel, an affluent semi-rural area near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we having been invited to spend Thanksgiving with a family there.

The couple who owned the large, comfortable house were in their fifties, and their daughter, aged about 25, was a friend of my then fiancee. The father of that family was a nuclear scientist, and his wife what the Americans charmingly call a “homemaker”, a much more respectful term, I think, than the Anglo-German terms “housewife” or “hausfrau”. American to the core, they had both been born and brought up in the Mid-West, but had also lived in Belgium, and had travelled very widely, to dozens of countries from Mexico to the Soviet Union.

The house, though on a semi-rural, semi-suburban road with a few other similarly-large houses, had a large hinterland, mostly not so much a “garden” as a tranche of forest; I think they said about 40 acres, where some of Pennsylvania’s millions of deer were often seen.

The lady’s husband was a tough but very decent type, very solid (in both senses), rather like a more intelligent version of John Wayne (to my European perception). He was a fan of American football, and I think that he had played football himself at college (university) level.

I admired the lady’s collection of Palekh lacquer boxes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palekh_miniature], and also their very American cars, his a Cadillac (I forget the model), and hers a Lincoln Town Car, probably my own favourite at the time, though I myself did not have a licence then (I only held a driving licence —a foreign one— from 1999, and a UK one from 2002).

The couple were very hospitable to me; I have always remembered them with good feelings.

I last saw the couple in Maryland, in (I think) 1992.

The lady mentioned died a few years ago, it seems, aged 85 (at that time, at least, her husband was still living). I was unaware until today, not having kept up with any of those I knew or met so long ago.

I have been struck recently by renewed realization at how transient life is in any one incarnation. We must do what we can while we are still on the Earth.

Diary Blog, 30 March 2022, with a few words about Scottish Labour

Ukraine

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11917497/Itll-fantastic-British-Challenger-2-tanks-Ukraine-beat-Vladimir-Putin.html.

“As a former senior British military intelligence officer and Nato planner, I spent 26 years preparing to counter Soviet-style manoeuvres during the Cold War. I’m all too aware that whether Ukraine survives as an independent nation will depend on how each side copes with multiple factors.

One of these, as anyone with rudimentary knowledge of European history knows, is the weather on the Eastern Front.

Russia’s much-anticipated ‘spring offensive’ this year has failed. The calculations behind it were flawed. The frozen ground has thawed quickly, turning large tracts of the country into a quagmire. We saw last year what happened when tanks try to advance over Ukraine’s mud. Despite their caterpillar tracks, the weight of Russia’s 45-ton T-72s meant many were quickly bogged down and had to be abandoned. Ukrainian farmers gleefully looted the wreckages.

This means Russian tanks are, for the moment, largely confined to tracks and roads, making them easy targets for ambush. But the same restrictions apply to Western tanks, which are even heavier.

[by June 2023], ordnance supplied by the West will be pouring into the battle zones. President Zelensky asked for 300 tanks: it is estimated his allies, including other former Soviet states, will provide 700 or more.

Already 350 infantry fighting vehicles and more than 1,000 armoured personnel carriers have been promised, as well as at least 320 self-propelled guns, most of them 155mm artillery.

Training to use this disparate kit will prove time consuming. In peacetime, the Army reckons to spend two years readying a tank brigade for combat. The Ukrainian crews are attempting to learn everything in just a few months.

It’s a mammoth undertaking and that applies to every aspect of the war. After its rapid advances following the invasion last year, Russia held 51,000 square miles of Ukrainian territory.

Since the counter-attack began last summer, the Ukrainians have recaptured about 11,300 square miles — pushing the enemy out of Kyiv, Kherson and Kharkiv. Some parts of the operation were relatively straightforward: for example, trapping the Russians on the western side of the Dnipro river, which cut off their retreat.

But Russia still holds 40,000 square miles (17 per cent) of Ukrainian territory, including the 10,425 square miles of Crimea, which Ukrainian naval commander Vice-Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa this week vowed to retake.

[Ukraine: overall state of play as of late March 2023]

Liberating Crimea [“Liberating”?] might be possible in the long term, but it would require a massive amphibious assault on the scale of D-Day. Even if a bridgehead could be established, the Ukrainian army would have to win back the peninsula mile by mile — and many of the inhabitants are pro-Russian.

Crimea was regarded as Ukrainian territory only after Stalin’s death in 1953 and it has been under Russian control again for nearly a decade. Victory would never be guaranteed, even if that gigantic campaign could ever be mounted.

Yet even that prospect is dwarfed by the scale of conflict on the mainland. The battlefront in eastern Ukraine is over 700 miles long, the distance from London to Barcelona. Moscow has committed virtually the whole of the Russian army to the invasion.

Its forces are organised into battalion tactical groups [BTGs], which consist of up to 40 tanks with artillery, armoured vehicles and engineering support. In total, Putin has 168 BTGs, each one a self-contained fighting force with full autonomy — and 115 of them are now in Ukraine.

Latest figures show the Russians have 1,330,900 men on the ground, compared with just half a million Ukrainians. They have 4,182 aircraft, including 1,531 helicopters and 773 fighter jets; Ukraine is far behind, with 312 aircraft, including 113 helicopters and 69 fighters.

Russia has 12,566 tanks, 151,641 armoured vehicles, 6,575 self-propelled guns and 3,887 mobile rocket launchers. In every case, that’s at least four times as many as Ukraine possesses and sometimes six.

Against a smaller but highly motivated army intent on repelling invasion, all the Russians can do is try to hang on to occupied territory. The Ukrainian forces will try to punch holes in the front line, but unless they can sever the supply chains, it’s unlikely their enemy will be routed. Putin will not permit his forces to pull out, however much punishment is inflicted.

Instead, he is playing for time, waiting for elections in the U.S. and Britain next year…“

Russia is certainly not about to “lose” this war, but cannot now win it (however “victory” be defined) without a gamechanging event or tactic coming into play.

The Kiev-regime soldiers and civilians are, at present, more motivated than the Russian side. Like Antaeus, they draw strength from being on their native soil.

In the absence of any coherent ideology, even the flawed past ideology of Sovietism and/or Marxism-Leninism, the Russian government has fallen back on WW2 motifs and on the ludicrous assertion that the corrupt Jew-Zionist dictatorship in Kiev is “Nazi“. Few believe that, even among the ranks of the self-describing “Left” “useful idiots” in Western Europe, the UK, or beyond.

That ideological lack on the Russian side means that it has nothing with which to stiffen morale.

The Daily Mail assessment mentions the upcoming elections in USA and UK. The US Presidential one is the important event. Without American arms and money, Zelensky’s troops must stop fighting.

Looking at that map, the areas in green are those where the Kiev-regime has regained ground over the past months. However, my guess is that much of Eastern Ukraine (east of the Dnieper) is almost open territory. If the Russians are stretched to the limit, so are the Ukrainians. If the Kiev-regime line were to be breached seriously, or if Russia were able to score a decisive victory in the Bakhmut/Artyomovsk pocket, there might be little to prevent most of Eastern Ukraine falling to Russian forces.

Ireland is every bit as crazy as the UK now. A country of about 7M now faces migration-invasion on an unprecedented scale. Even as it stands, foreign-born nationals in Ireland comprise somewhere close to 15% of the population. If you add in births to foreign elements, make that ~20%.

The trajectory is, apparently, downward and towards extinction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Party_(Ireland)#Recent_history. The popular vote for Labour fell from nearly 141,000 in 2016 to 96,000 in 2020.

Bernal’s “professorship” does not say much that is complimentary about the University of East Anglia’s law school.

Incidentally, Bernal is descended from the well-known scientist, J.D.

Presumably part of the mass media barrage of support for the Kiev regime.

Hard to know what to make of Bear Grylls. I have only seen one episode of one TV show he did. I disliked it, and his attitude. Very full of himself. Also, he killed a small and harmless animal entirely unnecessarily.

As I say, I do not have a developed view about him. One hears about him having been selected for the TA SAS thirty years or so ago (at age 20, younger than f/t SAS personnel), though that was the (then) part-time TA version (now called The Reserves), and he was in it for only 2 years actively (3 officially).

Obviously more than a bit of a “tough guy”, looking at his Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_Grylls, though I (perhaps unfairly) tend to think a little sceptically when I see someone with dozens of supposed qualifications in their skill-set. cf. Rory Stewart: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/05/03/will-rory-stewart-mp-be-prime-minister/.

Plainly not a “fake”, but whether (as with Rory Stewart) the sum of the parts seems to add up to more than the whole, hard to judge. The TV image may or may not fully reflect reality.

As far as I can judge “survival experts” (perhaps not greatly), I think that I prefer Ray Mears [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Mears], despite disagreeing with some of his views about the Second World War etc.

All that, and also a taxi driver called Lulita. Some people really are born under a lucky star!

That may be. If we ever have a real government, an investigation can be carried out by some equivalent of the Gestapo and SS, in order to ascertain the truth.

Yes. I recall talking about similar issues in 1976 with a couple with whom I was then friendly, a (supposedly ex-) getaway driver-turned-limousine service-owner, and his wife, both in their thirties (I was 19 at the time). The discussion was about the relative merits of the Western way of life as compared with the Soviet socialist system.

That fellow’s comment has stayed with me: “what matters to me is not the detail about how it works but what way of life comes out the other end.” Like many —more-or-less— “villains”, he was basically quite “Thatcherite” in his views (though this was three years before Margaret Thatcher actually became Prime Minister).

Indeed. In the late 1970s, the inefficiencies of the subsidized industries, and the (neo-Luddite) power of the trade unions, were the stuff of legend, but the “Thatcher Revolution” went far too far in various ways. All the same, people realized that some change was needed.

I have blogged previously about how the ~33-year cycle works. In 1989, old-style socialism died, but that did not happen overnight. In the UK, the change had been in preparation for many years, starting notionally with the Thatcher governments.

Telecoms policy illustrates the point. The State-owned British Telecom was privatized in 1984: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_Group. Even in the mid-1980s, it could take a long time for the average customer/consumer to be supplied with a telephone. It sounds ludicrous now, of course.

I knew someone from my schooldays who owned a couple of houses in South London, rented out by the room. He wanted the tenants to have a coin-operated telephone, and arranged with British Telecom to have one installed. After several months, he was getting angry that the telephone had not been installed. He was fobbed off with various reasons (excuses) until, finally so exasperated at the lack of action, about a year after he had asked for the installation, he called British Telecom to say that he was cancelling the order, only to be informed that the telephone was going to be installed a couple of days later. Which it was. Still, a whole year just to get a telephone!

That kind of rationing did not affect people equally. I remember being told, in the late 1980s, at dinner in Lincoln’s Inn, and by (now-deceased) Lord Justice Parker [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Parker_(judge)], that when he was first appointed a judge in, I think, 1969, that appointment had co-incided with his moving to a country house in a rather out-of-the-way part of Essex. There was no telephone.

Parker had then contacted the manager of the (then) GPO for the area to request installation of a telephone. He was told that it might take several months, if not longer. He then said that he needed a telephone for his work. The telephone manager had asked what work. “I have just been appointed a judge“. The manager then apologized, and said that a telephone would be installed that week. It was.

I imagine that the later Lord Justice of Appeal put his case quite forcefully. I certainly found him a rather unpleasant person, that one time that I spoke with him.

It sounds antediluvian now, when anyone can buy a basic mobile telephone for a small amount of money, and get it from a supermarket or other outlet in a matter of minutes.

The point is that the heavily-subsidized nationalized industries of 1945-1980s had become sluggish and a drag on economic efficiency. However, the privatization trend went too far in the late 1980s and 1990s. Now, the taxpayers fork out huge sums to notionally private enterprises, from railways and offshoots of the DWP and NHS, to the farming industry and others. We are getting neither proper service nor value for money.

The same is true of the “tax credits” payments put in place by Blair and Brown, and also the current “Universal Credit” low pay boondoggle. It subsidizes poor-paying employers out of public funds. That cannot be right.

Stray thoughts

If one has had a dream, perhaps a rather bad dream, and then wakes up still thinking about it or affected by it, that affect or, indeed, effect, dissipates quickly. One realizes that —quite apart from having been merely a dream— it is now finished and gone; in the past.

Now, what about things that have happened to us in the course of life? However important they may have been to us, however unpleasant perhaps, that those events were, they too lie in the past now. They have no more reality, no more present reality, than those bad dreams, except in two respects: firstly, that those “real world” events actually happened (objectively) and, secondly, they may still play on our minds, or are at least remembered (i.e. had and/or have also subjective reality).

It is the remembrance of the “real world” events that affects us, but both dreams and “real world” events have the obvious equivalence that, as we look back on them, they are in the past. We feel obliged to honour the “real world” events by recalling them. However, that sense of obligation might be said to lie “not in our stars but in ourselves“.

The sense of remembrance-connection to real world events is a silver thread which binds us to them via the laws of Karma, yet it is postulated that those laws operate whether we recall anything (in one life or a series of lives), or not.

In terms of our lives as lived on any particular day, events of the past, whether trivial, important at the time, or even shocking, are as insubstantial as those bad dreams. “We are such stuff as dreams are made on“, if you like.

The same phenomenon is seen in the UK. Report something to the police (I mean a real but “minor” crime, not a murder or a rude word said about a Jew) and nothing happens. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Black hole.

Look at the sentences given out for most things. Very lenient in most cases of “real” crime.

Something in the background is working to destroy normal society. Sinister.

Absolutely stupid. For one thing, many of the worst trolls use pseudonyms either exclusively or alongside their “real” social media accounts.

The poll does show how most of the “sheeple” want to be subjects of a (however fake) “caring/sharing” police state, at heart. I suppose that that came out during the “panicdemic”.

If the present Government were both willing and able to stop not only the cross-Channel migration-invasion but also general and continuing mass immigration, that would be a game-changer. However, since all System parties are supportive of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, that is very unlikely to happen.

Having said that, if the cross-Channel invasion on its own could be halted, so that there were no longer picture and clips of film showing invaders disembarking from boats, that might be enough to convince many voters to vote Con rather than Lab. Maybe.

If that were to happen, Poland must be suspended from NATO before a third major European (and perhaps world) war is triggered. Poland was the trigger for WW2. Most people do not want WW3. If the Polish leadership wants their country to become a devastated and, this time, also irradiated wasteland, that is their problem, but do not expect us, of Western and Central Europe, to back you up (and receive a horde of Russian nuclear missiles on our heads too).

Some people must have been reading my blog! Vive la France!

As of today, 482 utter mugs are still sending “Jack Monroe” a total of several thousand pounds, perhaps many thousands, via Patreon. She laughs at them, spends their donations like a drunken sailor, then pops up here and there pretending that she knows all about “poverty” and survival on little money. A complete fraud.

Thinking strategically, China and Russia together stack up fairly well against the USA. Both strategic nuclear powers, both with large armed forces, both with large populations (in China’s case, huge), both with geographically large state territories, both economically strong in different ways.

Were there to be a nuclear war involving all three (and leaving aside what might be left of this world if that were to happen), I would bet on a recovery in both China and Russia long before any such in the USA. As Hitler said (simplistically but truthfully all the same) the USA is “half-judaized and half-negrified“.

The aftermath of any large-scale devastation in the USA would be social collapse and social/racial war. That happened after Hurricane Katrina, a localized problem. How much more then after a nuclear attack?
