Morning music

[The bridge over the Thames at Sonning, Berkshire. I was at school, in the early 1970s, only a half-mile away, and the grounds of the school went down to the Thames (on which I rowed when aged 13/14) only a short distance from that bridge]

How long before Starmer-Labour introduces similar measures in the UK? The justification will be something similar to that in the cartoon below.

The two aspects mentioned are a convenient “go-to”.

Those who question the System narrative, or suggest an alternative and/or better way forward for society, are often already “criminalized”, usually at the behest of the “usual suspects” (((“them”))).

“Labour” is now just a label, as is “Conservative”, “Liberal Democrat”, and “Green”.

Echoes of Weimar?

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/18/keir-starmer-says-he-is-open-to-processing-asylum-seekers-offshore

Keir Starmer is looking into plans to process asylum seekers outside the UK as part of a rethink of the government’s immigration policies, even as a returns agreement with the EU appears more distant than ever.

The prime minister said on Thursday he was open to the idea of Britain processing claims offshore, after a day spent discussing illegal migration with fellow European leaders at Blenheim Palace. Those talks, as part of the European Political Community summit, included a meeting with Edi Rama, the Albanian prime minister, whose country processes asylum claims on behalf of Italy.

But he said a deal to return refused asylum seekers to the EU was low on his list of priorities, as the French president, Emmanuel Macron, warned his country was not willing to shoulder the additional burden.

But look, I’m a practical person. I’m a pragmatist. And I’ve always said we’ll look at what works and where cases can be processed closer to origin, then that is something which of course ought to be looked at.”

[The Guardian]

As I have been predicting for many months on the blog, Starmer will “solve” the “small boats” migration invasion, meaning get it off the TV news agenda, by simply “processing” the applications of the invaders long before they reach the UK, whether that be in France, in Albania, in Italy, or even in Africa.

“Processing” will mean, in this context, rubberstamping 90% or more of the applications. Probably more, looking at how about 80% of the applications of the present wave of invaders are eventually approved once they land in the UK (and the rest not deported anyway).

What about those, the small minority no doubt, who apply for asylum in those extra-territorial processing centres or offices but are refused? Is Starmer pretending that they will be content to stay in, or return to, their native countries? Of course they will not. They will simply make their way to the English Channel and then try to cross it.

I wonder “what element” is behind that agenda…

If you import populations from the more backward parts of the world, in sufficient quantity, your own society becomes backward and/or degenerate.

Why are they even here?

Please refer to the last few comments.

That made me laugh, which is something…I mean both the comment by tweeter “@TexanGhost” and Dawn Butler’s brainless tweet.

Only one thing can save Western culture and civilization, and the root-stock on which they both depend— social nationalism, and a consequent “revaluation of all values”.

Personal memory

Happened to see the above photo of the Thames just below Benson Lock, Oxfordshire. My mind at once returned to the summer of 1971, when I was there, aged 14, rowing my inflatable yellow neoprene boat downstream.

53 years ago. Over half a century. Does not seem possible, in a sense.

At least that little corner of England has not yet been trashed, or built upon.

I often worry that I may be too old to take a leading part in the national revolution by the time it happens, at least to take an active leading part; I am already 67 (68 in September). Damn.

“The Great Reset”…

Elon Musk has evidently had a very different experience of living in the USA than I ever did…

Mirabile dictu! Former-MP and Israel-puppet Largan has said something with which I can agree.

I have noted in the past on the blog the inadequacy of so many post-1945 public buildings in the UK, for example the court buildings in both London and the provinces. Some are OK, or even impressive, but more are not. Compare them to most of the American court buildings, such as the Federal court building in Trenton, New Jersey, where I was, several times, over 30 years ago:

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarkson_S._Fisher_Federal_Building_and_United_States_Courthouse Trenton, New Jersey; the sentry box is, I think, since 1992 when I was last there; presumably an example of the increase in “security” in the USA since those relatively innocent days]

Not the world’s most beautiful building, but very solid and impressive (and the interior is, in my view, even more impressive).

Ah…. just saw (for the first time), the New Jersey (i.e. State, not Federal) justice building, also in Trenton:

So ugly, one is prompted to speculate, “Britischer Architekt?” Still, quite large and impressive at least.

I see that that 1980s building is named after a former Governor of the state, who was also at one time Chief Justice of New Jersey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_J._Hughes_Justice_Complex#Dedication. I was very slightly acquainted with one of his sons, who himself became a Federal magistrate in 1991, a year or two after I was introduced to him; I met him again, en passant, a few times, in the years 1989-1991: https://www.pli.edu/faculty/hon.-john-j.-hughes-i1305491. He was all right, but not the most social person in the world, to be frank. Not sure that I would have liked to have been a defendant in his court…

Well, amazing. A second tweet of Largan that I like. Two in one day. Amazing.

If those poetic lines are original, from Largan himself, then he has a poetic sophistication, though not unflawed, at which I should not have guessed, to be frank.

Even if that were not so, the ban is obviously the right thing to do, whatever the collateral damage.

Defund Zelensky and his cabal. The war will then continue for only a few weeks in most areas.

Seems to sum up everything about Britain in 2024: the environmental calamity, the nanny-state-ism, but also the historical ignorance. The lower Thames (in my meaning, the Thames below Reading, and especially below Kingston) was actually far dirtier in the past, in the 1950s, and back to the 1850s, perhaps even the 1750s.

Still, it is true that the rivers of England and Wales have been almost abandoned by this Government. Effluent and agricultural (farmers’) vandalistic fertilizer and other runoff going into the waters; and water itself being abstracted to service the needs of a UK population growing by 500,000-1,000,000 each year (by reason of mass migration and/or migration invasion).

More music

Another sentimental memory, this time from when I was about 6 years old.

Brilliantly-presented music and colour film from the 1930s.

Looking at the crowds, how sincerely and genuinely happy they look, as compared to (for example) the enforced jollity of the parades in the Soviet Union of the 1930s.

From the newspapers

https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/it-worth-voting-labour

I do not agree with all of that article by ex-MP Emma Dent Coad in the rump Morning Star, above, but I do agree with some. Worth reading, though she fails to point out at least one possible reason why faux-radical Paul Mason got so angry when Labour’s Israel lobby was mentioned: Mason himself is partly Jewish, and also seems to be very pro-Israel, certainly opposing those he considers “antisemitic”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Mason_(journalist)#Early_life_and_education.

Looking ahead

It is all too easy to get distracted by the noise of the world, by short-term politics, by the daily news agenda, by personalities etc. We must try to look ahead, beyond the present year, the present decade; even beyond the present century and the present millennium.

I made such an attempt a few years ago, in 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/01/26/the-tide-is-coming-in-reflections-on-the-possible-end-of-our-present-civilization-and-what-might-follow/.

My thesis, though complex in total, is simple in essence: humanity needs to make a quantum leap in evolution. In order for that to happen, there has to be a suitable demographic, ethnic basis. For me, that has to be the European peoples as a whole, particularly the Northern Europeans.

However, the European people(s) are not the end result, or the highest possible stage, but merely a base, also a transitional stage to higher evolution of consciousness.

It is a matter of concern that births and birth-rates to Europeans (including Russians and some other Slavs, the peoples of the far future) are falling quite fast now.

The above factor may be a sign of an impending civilizational catastrophe, but may also be more than merely a “crisis”; it may also be an opportunity for the European peoples to seize the world-historic initiative in terms of demographics. In other words, to start creating the basis of a basis for a future super-race, to put it that way; an advance on —and by— present-day humanity.

More tweets seen

As seen in that tweet, even some Jews, indeed even some Zionist pro-Israel Jews, find many of the members of the Knesset (Israeli parliament) beyond the pale, so to speak. All the same, that ranting Jew politician was elected by Israeli voters. He is only expressing, in an extreme form, what is, at least arguably, the mainstream Israeli view in substance, though usually couched in a less extreme, less obviously violent way.

So far, the Israeli revenge attack on Gaza has killed 30,000-40,000 of the inhabitants, mostly women and children. The number grievously wounded must now be as many as 100,000.

Yet one sees Jews in the UK and elsewhere defend the Israeli actions (use of white phosphorus, use of famine as a weapon, flattening of huge areas of residential housing etc, use of drones and snipers killing families or lone unarmed civilians) as “defensive”, “justified“, “not genocide“, “not war crimes” etc. In effect, those (Jews and non-Jews) who support Israel, and who are tweeting support for Israel, are supporting those actions.

They are often the same ones whining and screaming that some child in London or wherever has chalked a swastika on a garage door or the side of a bus, and that that is a kind of “terrorism”, and that they feel “afraid” to go out of their houses. Pathetic.

As have many “Conservative” MPs. Britain’s immediate political problem in a nutshell— a special-interest group influences, and as good as controls, both main System parties.

Of course, I have no idea whether Paul Mason is or is not actually an agent of one or another secret government service, as many claim, but he has always struck me as being inherently unreliable, and not very trustworthy in any respect. That’s my honest opinion, anyway. Also, Mason is a little too enthusiastic about the idea of locking people up for their views…

Well, one of the comments on the blog (made allegedly by me) that “got me into trouble” over the past year or three referenced Jewish/Zionist/Israeli influence in the USA, and/or the mindset of many Americans who (influenced by TV, radio, and Press) blindly support the Israel lobby, so I had better not say too much here about “freedom” in the supposed “land of freedom”…

It’s strange…as recently as the 1970s, Britain had almost complete free speech on political, social, historical and other topics. What a contrast to today’s “iron fist in velvet glove” repression, abused by —mainly— the groups associated with the Jewish lobby and Israel; the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] etc.

I think that, eventually, the huge defensive works undertaken by the Kiev-regime forces will lie abandoned by their former defenders. Already, the regime is using press-gangs to “recruit” soldiers, and is slowly running out of arms, ammunition, and other supplies.

The attacker appears to be seen walking along the street with a large blade in his hand

[above, the “suspect”, a denizen of Britain’s wonderfully “diverse” multikulti society. Does anyone seriously think that a better society can ever develop when untermenschen of that sort inhabit the UK, or Europe generally? Indeed, can even our existing society be maintained?].

Even now, if I say or write something about how British society is steadily collapsing into chaotic dystopia, many will smugly smirk, “knowing better”. What will it take before those people start to listen, properly hear, then combine to do something about it all?

Because the leaderships of both System parties follow the Coudenhove-Kalergi agenda: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Practical-Idealism-Kalergi-destroy-European/dp/1913057097.

Our society is going either to collapse or to explode; maybe both. That situation, either way, will see the best chance ever for social nationalism in the UK, and the best chance in Europe generally since Germany awoke in 1933, then plunged into defeat in 1945.

Starmer will be an unpopular PM, indeed an unpopular, if “elected”, quasi-dictator. I could say more but regular readers will know that I am restricted at present.

True but, as far as GE 2024 is concerned, the electorate will not be voting for Labour, they will be voting against the Conservative Party which has ruined so much over the past 14 years.

Both System parties are enemies of the people.

Reminds me of when I lived in Almaty [Alma-Ata] Kazakhstan, in 1996-1997. I was slightly acquainted with the American pilots of the [Kazakhstan] Presidential flight. They (I only met two, but there were a couple of others) were all superannuated pilots from the insolvent and defunct Eastern Airlines [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines] cheated out of their pensions.

They all knew how to fly the Boeing jetliners used by the KZ President Nazarbaev. Local pilots were only familiar, then, with Soviet aircraft such as Tupolev jets and Ilyushins.

None of the Americans knew a word of Russian. They were very American, and insisted on driving around themselves rather than be chauffered like most foreigners were (including me; I had a driver called Valery, ex-MVD and shared with another client, a German diplomat; at that time, the British, French and German embassies were in the same building, and the capital had not yet been moved to Astana, now called Nursultan).

Those Americans found themselves in difficulty if randomly stopped and checked by the Kazakh police, a frequent occurrence (they only checked the driver, rarely if ever the passengers), because they could not explain themselves.

They were thus issued with a laminated card about the size of a hardback book, If stopped, they pulled that out. It was like the Rosetta Stone, and said the same thing in three languages, English, Russian, and Kazakh: “The bearer of this card is the pilot of the aircraft of the President” [etc].

The card was signed by the President himself, and bore his official seal. The Kazakhs loved rubber stamps; when I wanted one for my own use, I discovered that one could not simply get one’s secretary to have one made; it was necessary to supply a proposed design and various verifying documents —properly stamped, of course— about yourself and your organization to the delightfully-named “Bureau of Rubber Stamps”, which might then approve the design. Kafka would have loved it.

It is no doubt different now, but 25 years ago, you could not even get Vitamin C capsules in Almaty without a prescription! Or at least could only get them by rather covert means.

One of the Americans told me that, the first time he used his laissez-passer card, the policeman almost kow-towed. The policeman even invited the American to visit him, his wife and children some time.

I have walked those banks, in part, from near Pangbourne to Goring, and also, when at school, rowed the river from Dorchester-on-Thames down to Moulsford (upriver of Goring).
