The brutal, corrupt, and shambolic dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky.

The Kiev regime’s crumbling front lines are manned by people dragged off the street kicking and screaming. Little pay, not much rotation out of the front line, and no discharge (until the war ends, which might be years away) for those who escape being killed, horribly wounded, or captured. No wonder Ukrainian men will do anything to avoid being drafted.

[“Zelensky blames the weather for Russian gains on the front lines After a briefing from Commander-in-Chief Syrsky, he called the situation in Pokrovsk and Zaporozhye “difficult,” specifically citing conditions that favor Russian assaults Recent footage confirms heavy fog has likely grounded Ukraine’s crucial drone fleet, which compensates for a severe manpower shortage“]

Exactly. If the order were given, Kiev could be a smoking, nuclear-irradiated wasteland within half an hour or less. That is not Putin’s wish. He wants a productive Eastern Ukraine under Russian rule, and/or to restore the ancient link between Moscow and Kiev, which after all existed until 1991.

[“Look at the pic. This is Ukraine’s Minister of Energy, Svitlana Hrynchuk on a photo, who appears in recordings by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in a major corruption case in the energy sector. She received kickbacks from embezzled funds allocated for the construction of protective infrastructure for the energy system—an initiative that received nearly $5 billion in funding from the United States alone. These defenses were never built. The money was stolen by people in Zelensky’s inner circle. The scheme was reportedly led by Zelensky’s close friend and personal “wallet,” Tymur Mindich. Yet Zelensky feels so secure in misappropriating U.S. funds that he placed one of the central figures in this corruption scheme right in front of the President of the United States. Hrynchuk is the common-law wife of former Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko, whom Zelensky reassigned as Minister of Justice after the investigation began. The previous Minister of Justice, Olga Stefanishyna – also charged by NABU in a separate corruption case now in court – was appointed as Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States and is also on the table, right to the Hrynchuck. Zelensky brought a corrupt minister and sat her right in front of Trump. #TrueUkraine #ZelenskyLies.”]

Zelensky and his corrupt cabal should have had their ricebowls taken away long ago,

Ed Davey— an utter clown, whose party is only doing well because it is a dustbin for voters who can no longer vote Con or Lab, mostly Con.

I cannot say whether Morgan McSweeney is an actual Israeli agent “under control” or not; maybe, maybe not. Certainly an agent of influence.

Sterilization should be discussed.

Only Israel-fanatics and/or idiots take on Mark Lewis as their solicitor. Dishonest, negligent, and incompetent.

A General Election now, or soon, would result in a massive win for Reform UK; certainly a plurality of seats in the Commons, and quite likely an overall majority, perhaps a large one.

Talking point

An opinion poll, I think by YouGov, states that 60% of UK adults are generally in favour of the UK government’s “Net Zero” nonsense. Well, I do not overestimate the intelligence of most of my fellow Brits, but that seems hard to believe. Are they really that stupid, or so easily brainwashed? Thinking of the “panicdemic” Covid scam(demic), maybe they are. Depressing.

[“They bulldozed 100,000 trees in the Amazon rainforest for a highway to shuttle 50,000 delegates to COP30—and private jets are falling from the skies in a carbon confetti parade. The Avenida Liberdade (Liberty Avenue) slices 13 km through the protected Belém Environmental Protection Area south of Belém (Nov 10–21). The irony of desecrating the iconic rainforest to host a climate summit! Red dirt is flanked by dense green jungle. Yellow excavators and bulldozers grind forward amid scattered vehicles. Experts warn of fragmented habitats, supercharged roadkill (Brazil loses ~475 million wild animals yearly to roads), & a red carpet for illegal loggers and sprawl. Net zero on the tarmac: biodiversity in the ditch. #COP30Hypocrisy #AmazonHighway #COP30“]

Our animal friends.

Interesting video about the Vanunu case

Whatever may be said about MOSSAD, there is little doubt that, over many decades, it has proven, repeatedly, its ability to undertake complex assignments, and to bring those assignments to a successful conclusion.

I found myself wondering how it was that, after Vanunu’s product found its way into the Sunday Times, MI5 was unaware of the fact that Vanunu was being honeytrapped?

Or was MI5 (and/or SIS/MI6) in fact perfectly aware, but let the thing continue? Why would MI5 or SIS do that? Well, maybe to keep UK-Israel relations stable by allowing (whether expressly or tacitly) MOSSAD to abduct Vanunu from a third country (as it turned out, Italy), thus allowing British services and government to wash their hands of it all. “Nothing to do with us, ‘guv”.

We shall only know for sure by reference to the records of MI5, SIS, or Israeli Intelligence, and that is not going to happen in our lifetimes.

Incidentally, the AI images in that video are interesting, real or adapted faces etc, and mixed with real locations (I got most of the London ones). The “Cindy” character, in parts of the video, had a face very similar to that of the young Christine Keeler [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Keeler]. Presumably also AI-adapted.

A barrister speaks

Worth watching/hearing, but his final advice to join the so-called “Free Speech Union” hits a bum note.

The “FSU”, set up by Toby Young, has never once helped anyone attacked for their speech or online opinions by the Jew-Zionist lobby, aka Israel lobby, such as (most egregiously) the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, headed by a liar and perjurer called Gideon Falter, who is assisted by another liar, and maker of false accusations, called (by me) “Slitherman”, who calls himself their “Head of Investigations and Enforcement”. The sheer gall of the bastard! Incredible.

I have frequently blogged about their decade-long campaign against me, but they have also attacked many many others, ranging from persecuted satirist and singer Alison Chabloz, and jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, to David Icke etc, right through to large organizations such as the BBC and Al Jazeera.

At present, the “CAA” is privately prosecuting (criminally) several persons: Dr. David Miller, Nick Griffin, black comedian Reginald D. Hunter; others too. The “CAA” is also conspiring against people such as NHS doctor Dr. Rahmeh Aladwan.

The “CAA” even tried to get the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to resign (or to have him dismissed), and to that end contrived a street provocation using Gideon Falter, who then —once more— lied to get what he wanted but, as often in the past, failed.

All of that activity is an abuse of the English legal system, so-called “lawfare”, on behalf of Israel and its fanatical fifth column in the UK.

So what has the “Free Speech Union” had to say about the “CAA” and its abusive behaviour (including its attacks on me)? Nothing. So to me, the FSU is the same— nothing.

Free speech, freedom of expression

Brave words, yet J.K. Rowling often seems to make common cause with the Jewish/Israel lobby, elements of which conspired to have me disbarred in 2016 for 5 tweets (every single one true and accurate, and not one addressed to an individual); later, effectively the same Jew-Zionist lobby had me prosecuted, in 2023-2024, for a few cartoons and comments allegedly posted on this blog. Small parts of a mere 5 daily blog posts, over a period of 3 years, and extracted from literally thousands of pages of blog material, as the woodentopped Hampshire police and the “fat ladies” of CPS Wessex have admitted on their Twitter accounts and websites.

See also:

I was sentenced, as noted on those blog posts above, about 18 months ago. My financial penalty (£735 altogether) was one-third crowdfunded by a few generous donors, the rest paid off in several monthly instalments.

My “9-month community order” (nominally “15 rehabilitation days” over the 9 months) amounted in fact to half a dozen or so brief meetings over about 5 months, and with a rather charming young lady from the Probation Service.

Average length of meeting was about 40 minutes; one, I think the first one, was a couple of hours, most were far shorter than 40 minutes (one was about 15 mins). General chat mixed in with a bit of armchair psychology. Naturally, such methods are designed for people (often drunks or drug abusers) convicted of bashing their noisy neighbours, or of having “had it away” with a trolley full of supermarket produce, not for someone accused of having made politically-disapproved-of statements…

In the end, my “probation” (to use the older term) was cut short for reasons that were never explained. I presume that the probation people are swamped by real crime as society slides to destruction, and thus decided that it was pointless (as it was, of course) to have me coming in every few weeks for half an hour.

The free speech trial was held in November 2023, nearly 2 years ago. Sentencing was in mid-March 2024. My last “probation” meeting was in early September 2024, so already over a year ago. It already seems as if it happened years ago.

The aim of the malicious “Campaign Against Antisemitism”, via its self-styled “Director of Investigations and Enforcement”, one “Slitherman” (shall we call him?), who attended both trial and sentencing, and whom I publicly named and shamed in open court, was to stop publication of this blog by having me prosecuted by a compliant police “farce” and the “Clown” Prosecution Service. That attempt to gag me failed. The blog continued to be published throughout the prosecution, trial, and sentencing process, even on the days of trial; it continued to be published throughout the ~5 month period of “probation” in 2024, and has continued to appear on a near-daily basis since then.

I have noticed, on Twitter, that most of the loonies (“antifa” types, Jew-Zionists, and actual mental cases, the last type almost all also belonging to the first two types mentioned) who attacked me for years, have disappeared from Twitter, and in a few cases off the face of the Earth.

I wrote about some of them:

I know that several who conspired against me have died, others may or may not have done, but have disappeared from Twitter, possibly into mental hospitals. Where, I wonder, is, for example, Jasna Badzak, “the Balkan Fraud”? Where is unprofessional NHS psychiatrist (himself suffering from mental illness, as he admitted on Twitter/X) Tim G. Stevens of Essex? Where is Mike Stuchbery? (actually, I know where he is— Stuchbery, now living in Stuttgart, has decamped to Twitter’s rival, “Blue Sky”, where he now posts only occasionally; maybe the German health service gives him better medications).

Just three examples of many. Incidentally, I noticed recently that another pro-Israel crazie, one-time MP Louise Mensch, whose wealthy Jewish husband finally divorced her (though I expect he had to pay through the nose to get rid of her), is back on Twitter/X, after a long period in which she apparently had a further mental breakdown and made up packs of highly-publicized lies about Putin and Trump, which lies were eventually exposed.

Louise Mensch used to tweet about me and even, extremely vituperatively, directly to me (when I had a Twitter account, before 2018). I have blogged about her craziness and malice previously. It can be found via the search box.

Quite (both tweets). The breakdown of culture, society, and even civilization itself is a terrible prospect. People need order, but preferably order which does not go so far (except for a brief period of what might be called “social therapy” or “social surgery”) as becoming a dictatorship or, still less, tyranny.

Hitler is usually considered to be, and considered himself, a dictator, yet he recognized that his period of dictatorship, though necessary in the short to medium term, would eventually mellow, after his retirement, and become something milder and less “dictatorial”.

What is usually worse even than outright tyranny, is anarchy (in the sense of chaotic failure of social and political norms, not “anarchy” as understood by, e.g., Kropotkin).

I can see that a kind of social/racial/cultural war is on the horizon, and not only in the UK, but I rightly fear the collapse of society, of its structure and order, of its civilized services of all kinds.

Eventually, the surrounding facts become too pressing to ignore.

Britain needs a disciplined force such as the old S.S. to shoot down rioters (not protesters, but rioters) and also feral untermenschen.

[“If you want to know how utterly insane the UK is right now read this: Last year, a man named Shahidul Haque, 55, who is on benefits, claims he is “disabled” because of “obstructive sleep apnoea” and depression, and cannot speak English, was moved into a retirement home in Berkshire. A retirement home. His rent? £110 a week. A few months later, he brought his 28-year-old wife and two children into the retirement home, claiming he did not know he was not allowed to do this because he cannot speak English and read tenancy documents. After the elderly neighbours complained about anti-social behaviour and sought his eviction, Shahidul Haque said he should not be evicted because it would be a breach of his “human rights”. His lawyers are using the European Convention on Human Rights to try and prevent his eviction. Our “leaders” are giving foreigners who do not speak English subsidised housing in retirement homes for our elderly because they claim to have “depression”. This is insane. This has to stop.“]

“Justice” would have been served, under existing law, perfectly well in the Lucy Connolly case had she been given a conditional discharge, or a small fine. No need to imprison her.

Slowly slowly catchee monkee…

Has it really taken radio loudmouth James O’Brien five years to understand that?! I was saying it on the blog about 4-5 years ago! (re. Starmer as Labour leader, long before he even became Prime Minister).

I examined the Jew-Zionist/Israel aspects of the Mandelson matter yesterday and the day before:

Here we see in print, and from the horse’s mouth, Mandelson himself, that Mandelson first met the Jew rapist and Israeli Intelligence agent Epstein via Ghislaine Maxwell, who was obviously herself an agent of Israeli Intelligence (either MOSSAD or Aman, or both); her horrible and evil father, “Robert Maxwell”, is now generally accepted as having been one of MOSSAD’s most important agents over many decades, which is why the Jewish authorities in Israel allowed him to be buried on the Mount of Olives at Jerusalem [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_Olives].

The whole Epstein thing was a massive and hugely-expensive operation by Israeli Intelligence. In fact, some msm journalists have asked where did Epstein’s money really come from. That is, Epstein was somehow wealthier than his history suggested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein.

As to why Israel would pay out so much, you only have to look at what is known (tip of the iceberg) about the “Lolita Express” passengers. Several Americans on the Presidential level, many just below that level, some top-level advisers such as Dershowitz. Top-grade intelligence sources, if they could be recruited or tapped. More than that, they were persons able to influence policy, especially U.S. policy at the top level(s). Absolutely top-grade agents of influence, if they could be persuaded or nudged to play ball.

Dan Hodges should think harder.

How much influence on UK government or society does “Combat 18” have? Does it even exist these days? OK, what about Thomas Mair and/or David Copeland? Do they influence UK society? No. They were “lone wolves” who decided to undertake solitary paramilitary action,

Breivik? Another lone wolf and, if he has any influence, it would be mainly on other individuals, not on society as a whole, or the policies of any government.

Therein lies the difference.

Social-nationalists are already here, and stand ready to do whatever is necessary when the time comes.

As for “socialism doesn’t work“, that is true on the economic level; it is less easily productive than finance-capitalism. However, that is a narrow way of looking at the question.

The threefold social order is a social theory by Rudolf Steiner proposing society be organized into three distinct, autonomous spheres: the cultural (or spiritual) sphere (focused on freedom and individuality), the legal/political sphere (based on equality and rights), and the economic sphere (built on solidarity and meeting needs). Each sphere should operate independently but interact, forming a healthy, interconnected social organism.”

Wise words.

Update, 14 September 2025

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/13/jeffrey-epstein-emails-wealth

Jeffrey Epstein was a very wealthy man, but exactly how wealthy and where that money came from remains shrouded in mystery.

Newly unearthed emails last week shone light on Epstein’s role as freelance client development officer, acting as a channel between political figures and business titans, greasing up the former with lifestyles they could not afford and the latter with avenues of political influence.

the questions about the source of Epstein’s wealth have never been fully resolved. He was worth nearly $600m at his death, thanks mostly to two wealthy billionaire clients – Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner and, later, Apollo Global Management co-founder Leon Black – as well as Johnson & Johnson heiress Elizabeth “Libet” Johnson, sister of former US ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson.

Between his collection of lavish homes in New York, Palm Beach and Paris, two private Caribbean islands, two jets and helicopter, Epstein held nearly $380m in cash and investments, according to his estate.

That wealth arrived suddenly. According to associates, until the end of the 90s, Epstein was living in a two-bedroom apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side close to the river. It was only when Maxwell arrived from London that his lifestyle was dramatically elevated.

Epstein moved to a townhouse on 68th Street and later to a 28,000-sq-ft mansion on 71st Street, later transferred to him by Wexner in 2011.

Steven Hoffenberg, a former business partner of Epstein convicted of running a Ponzi scheme, claimed that Maxwell’s father, disgraced press baron Robert Maxwell, introduced his daughter to Epstein in the late 1980s.
