Interesting vlog featuring Siberia

Another “Matt and Julia” vlog post. This time they fly from Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) to Novosibirsk, and then to Kemerovo, where Julia was born.

I was interested to see how nice, relatively uncrowded, and how up-to-date, were the airports. Novosibirsk Airport was especially impressive.

As to Kemerovo in snow, slush, and minus-degree temperatures, it looked pretty bleak to me. One thing that surprised me, and that I had noticed on some of their other vlog posts, is how far the couple are prepared to walk, when many (including me) would have preferred to go by car. They set off (not even wearing gloves) from the home of Julia’s relatives to central Kemerovo, striding purposefully through the snow in what looks like a vast snowbound urban landscape. They seem to be walking for miles.

Worth seeing, despite the relatively superficial commentary.

I think that is Kreshchatik, the main street of Kiev, but filmed long ago, in late Soviet times.

I do not usually watch ice-skating or ice-dancing, but it is amazingly graceful and skilled.

I myself have skated a little in the past, when I was in my twenties, though never either skilfully or gracefully. I occasionally hit the Queens Ice Rink in Queensway, Bayswater (London) in the early 1980s, and also skated once, in 1996, at the Olympic ice rink at Medeo, near Almaty, Kazakhstan, built for the 1980 Winter Olympics.

Happy times (in part).

Rewilding

“Aerial footage of an estate in Somerset has revealed the benefits of rewilding land in the face of extreme weather brought about by the climate crisis.

The area of the National Trust’s Holnicote estate where rivers have been returned to their natural courses and wetlands have been restored have remained green and lush during the five heatwaves across the summer. In contrast, the surrounding countryside has become parched and brown.“

[“On 19 August, Zelensky fired his deputy chief of staff Irina Mudraya, who, among other findings, had 600 million rubles in bank accounts in Ukraine and Israel. (She bought her daughter a Lexus for her 18th birthday.) Kyrylo Budanov, Zelensky’s chief of staff, organized her bail. Anti-fraud investigators in #Ukraine released recordings of Irina Mudraya repeatedly referring to instructions from “the leadership” – which the investigators said likely means either Budanov or Zelensky. The case is the latest of several fraud investigations among Zelensky’s inner circle.

His former chief of staff Andrey Yermak, accused of laundering $10 million through a luxury property scheme, fled to Israel where Zelensky’s parents are living.“]

System party idiots, as that lady was until her ex-husband was voted out as MP, she then losing her job (paid for via Parliamentary expenses), have been pushing for conflict and even war with Russia for several years. I hope that now they are not going to get what they have been wanting, the stupid nuts.

Britain should be cultivating better relations with Russia: leave NATO, and dump the Jew Zelensky and his corrupt shambolic thug regime.

You will not see Matt Goodwin (or Farage or, even less, Tice) mention the Jewish and Zionist roots of our national destruction.

…and the Runcorn and Helsby by-election only 24 days away…

[“You do know a Labour MP was just arrested on child sex charges don’t you? How many Labour MPs and councillors arrested so far in the last 12 months? 6! 4 of which are paedophiles. Labour MPs: 1.Dan Norris: On April 5, 2025, Dan Norris, the Labour MP for North East Somerset and Hanham, was arrested on suspicion of rape, child sexual offences, child abduction, and misconduct in public office. The allegations pertain to incidents from the 2000s and a rape allegation from the 2020s. Norris has been released on conditional bail while the investigation continues, and the Labour Party has suspended him, removing the party whip. 2.Mike Amesbury: In February 2025, Mike Amesbury, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, was jailed for 10 weeks after pleading guilty to assault by beating. The incident occurred in October 2024, and Amesbury was suspended by the Labour Party following his arrest. Labour Councillors: 1.Lee Laudat-Scott: In July 2024, Lee Laudat-Scott, a councillor in Hackney, resigned after being charged with sexually assaulting a child under 13. His arrest marked the second paedophile scandal in Hackney Council within a year. 2.Ricky Jones: In August 2024, Ricky Jones, a councillor in Dartford, was arrested and subsequently charged with encouraging violent disorder. This followed a speech he made at a counter-protest in Walthamstow, where he allegedly called for violence against far-right protesters. The Labour Party suspended him pending the outcome of legal proceedings. 3.David Graham: In early 2024, David Graham, a senior Labour councillor in Fife, Scotland, was arrested and charged with alleged child grooming offences. Following his arrest, the Labour Party suspended him, and he was due to appear in court at a later date. 4.Desmond Gibbons: In late 2024, Desmond Gibbons, a former Labour councillor on Gedling Borough Council, was sentenced to 21 months in prison after being found with over 600 indecent images of children, some as young as three years old. Gibbons had resigned from the Labour Party and his council position prior to his sentencing.“]

Goodwin omits to say which (((element))) has been profiting from it all, though. Not only (((the usual element))) but 90%, anyway.

Can it be that ridiculous and unpleasant little pissant Darren Jones thinks that the NHS is somehow an economic contributor to the UK economy, when it is really something (albeit necessary, so be it) taking out resources overall? Worrying that the Chief Secretary to the Treasury seems to have no grasp of basic economics.

(Israeli) Jews lying? Surely not…

Interesting, but I am more interested in both the present main culture, i.e. our own, the “Germanic-Anglo-Saxon-American” (as Rudolf Steiner put it), and the next main culture (which still lies fifteen hundred years in the future), the Russian/Slavonic.

At present, the Russian culture is almost entirely a borrowing from older cultures, mainly the Graeco-Roman culture and our present “Western” culture, just as Northern Europe only had “borrowed” Graeco-Roman culture until around 1400 AD (or “CE”) and the eruption of the Renaissance, which was essentially a brief recapitulation of the Graeco-Roman age.

There are, as yet, only indications, seen here and there, of that future Russian culture.

Were there more limited foreign aid being sent, were vast sums not being wasted on the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, were there no migration invasion, were there few non-whites living here, and were the UK a fundamentally white European ethnostate, this country would be hugely better off in every way; not only economically but also socially and culturally.

Talking point

Late tweets

The trade unions stopped standing up for British workers about 50 years ago, certainly 35 years ago. The unions moved to being just another load of “anti-racism” “anti-sexism” pro-immigration and pro-LGBTXYZ drones. As for supporting higher pay and better working conditions, forget it. The unions long ago stopped seriously pushing for those, and had no power to do so anyway. A waste of space.

Saturday quiz

This week, another victory over political journalist John Rentoul. He scored 2/10, but I trumped that with 4/10. I knew the answers to questions 4, 5, 8, and 10. In the back of my mind, I might have got a few more, but there it is.

[“In a country where repeat criminals walk free… Where grooming gangs evade charges… One woman is thrown behind bars for speech. “Her injustice shames Britain.” — The Telegraph

This isn’t about protecting society. It’s about silencing dissent and enforcing obedience. If a tweet can cost you your freedom, You don’t live in a democracy — you live under tyranny. https://telegraph.co.uk/gift/0cc779aa15c20c03“]

Of course, Allison Pearson might be listened to more if she ditched her apparent support for the evil and malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism” (“CAA”), a volunteer arm of the Israeli Embassy, in effect, and which is the worst anti-free-speech org in the country (see my own experiences, detailed above).

That brought to mind another Lucy— Lucy Letby. I have never claimed that Lucy Letby is either innocent or guilty of the crimes wherewith she was charged. I do not know, and have not much followed the case in any detail.

However, I did say on the blog, after she was convicted, that she seemed (from what little I had read in the msm) to have been found guilty on the basis of rather loose circumstantial evidence (which is not necessarily wrong, if that evidence is or was sufficiently probative).

Now I note that some fairly weighty opinions are saying that Lucy Letby might seriously be not only victim of a miscarriage of justice but actually innocent. I neither agree nor disagree. I have not looked at the matter in anything like enough detail. However, there lurks a feeling that, maybe, she is in prison without having actually done the crime(s).

The underlying reality is that the NHS is now largely a skeleton service, and those always loudly supporting it on ideological grounds, no matter what it does wrong, or fails to do right, are not serving either the NHS or the British public.

Those “public services” are packed with “woke” and Common Purpose drones.

Starmer-stein and Yvette Cooper have no intention of seriously preventing migration-invasion. Au contraire…

The voters of Runcorn and Helsby should remember that at the upcoming by-election.

In any case, there is really very little difference between what Starmer-stein, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall etc are doing and what the “Conservative” governments since 2010 did.

Jonathan Ashworth may still bang the tribal “Labour” drum, but the voters kicked him out, of course, in 2024: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ashworth; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leicester_South_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

Yet another (ex-) MP who has never had a non-political job. A System drone.

So Russia is immune from both tariffs and (U.S.) sanctions…

Ukraine (Kiev regime) must accept that Russia will occupy all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper.

The Jew-Zionist organizations in the UK are supporters of Israeli policy, Israeli terrorism and Israeli war crimes.

[Rafah, Gaza, before and after the Israeli Jews repeatedly attacked it; an Israeli war crime, Biblical in its scale]

For the first time, I can see (as serious likelihood rather than a mere possibility) a socio-political war breaking out in the USA somewhere not far down the line.

Historical note

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2025/apr/05/peering-into-the-eyes-of-the-past-reconstruction-reveals-face-of-woman-who-lived-before-trojan-war

“She lived 3,500 years ago – but facial reconstruction technology has brought a woman from late bronze age Mycenae back to life.

[“The digital reconstruction of a bronze age Mycenae woman. Photograph: Juanjo Ortega G.”]

The woman was in her mid-30s when she was buried in a royal cemetery between the 16th and 17th centuries BC. The site was uncovered in the 1950s on the Greek mainland at Mycenae, the legendary seat of Homer’s King Agamemnon.

Dr Emily Hauser, the historian who commissioned the digital reconstruction, told the Observer: “She’s incredibly modern. She took my breath away.

“For the first time, we are looking into the face of a woman from a kingdom associated with Helen of Troy – Helen’s sister, Clytemnestra, was queen of Mycenae in legend – and from where the poet Homer imagined the Greeks of the Trojan war setting out. Such digital reconstructions persuade us that these were real people.”

Hauser, a senior lecturer in classics and ancient history at the University of Exeter, said: “It is incredibly exciting to think that, for the first time since she was laid beneath the ground over 3,500 years ago, we are able to gaze into the actual face of a bronze age royal woman – and it truly is a face to launch a thousand ships.

“This woman died around the beginning of the late bronze age, several hundred years before the supposed date of the Trojan war.”

A digital artist, Juanjo Ortega G, has developed the lifelike face from a clay reconstruction of the same woman that was made in the 1980s by Manchester University, pioneers of one of the major methods in facial reconstruction.“

[The Guardian]

…and, surprise surprise, she was not black, not even brown…

Remember the “woke” fakery around “Cheddar Man” a decade ago, and the (later disproven) claim that he was (and so ancient Britons generally were) of “black” race? Or the assertions by Mary Beard and others that some of the Roman soldiers in Britain were “black”?

At least no-one has tried to impose more such ideologically-driven fakery on this new material.

European cultures, and civilization— the product of the white man (and woman).

“A man who gouged out an 87-year-old pensioner’s eye and beat him to death with his own walking stick has been locked up indefinitely.

Sekai Miles, 23, subjected Bernard Fowler to a “brutal” random attack outside Harold Wood station in east London early on February 27 last year.

Having targeted his eyes, Miles also hit Mr Fowler over the head 19 times with his walking stick and stamped on his head eight times, the Old Bailey heard on Friday.

Retired mechanic Mr Fowler had gone to the station that day to pick up free newspapers for the community.”

Good grief. There is much to dislike about China, in particular its disregard for animal welfare, but one cannot ignore its achievements, especially in engineering.

As a result, System parties in Germany want to ban the AfD. Germany is a fake democracy at best.
