Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has authorized a plan for the capture of Gaza City, with the operation being given the codename Gideon’s Chariots-2, the Israeli state broadcaster Kan reported:https://t.co/4Jym0baYB7pic.twitter.com/kHlUfZyz2Z

During the “12-day war,” the United States used more than 100 THAAD missiles – that is a quarter of the system’s operational stock. However, the production pace does not keep up with the required support for “Israel”: last year, only 11 THAAD missiles were produced, and this year only 12 are expected to be produced. According to American experts, this is a very rare resource and constitutes a critical part of the American deterrence system even against other adversaries like China.”]

Long-term and regular readers of the blog will know that I have blogged a few times about the month I spent at the oasis of Siwa in the Western Desert of Egypt in 1998 (part of three straight months I spent in Egypt that year). Siwa had slave caravans coming through from Central Africa to the Nile and Nile Delta right up until the 1940s, I think the late 1940s.
One of several unusual features about Siwa is that, at least until the late 20thC, men were not allowed to marry until aged 40, but girls were always married by their early teens. I was told that the girls now finish their schooling first (whether that means 16 or 18, probably 16).

What is known about detention of Ukrainian saboteurs trained by Western intel agencies. The sabotage group consisted of career officers of the Special Operations Service curated by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate:https://t.co/7gWx4X9Pi4pic.twitter.com/EAHRiyMdrC
“Both men had their sentences suspended after Judge Vanessa Baraitser considered the bursting prison population and an assessment by the Probation Service that found both defendants were unlikely to reoffend if they took up the opportunity to do self-help workshops. Both must pay compensation to their victims and attend rehabilitation days instead.
Williams-Gillett reached through the window and took his car keys. When his pregnant partner asked for the keys back, Williams-Gillett tried to punch her. By now the dad 50, had come back down the stairs and tried to pull Williams-Gillett away from the partner, triggering a brutal assault.
“Your response to that was to launch a violent attack on him. To stab him repeatedly to his face, so hard the keys were bent out of shape from the impact,” said Judge Baraitser.
Unable to start the car, the man phoned his cousin for help, while Williams-Gillett’s brother Fabian Bennett also arrived carrying a metal baseball bat. Bennett immediately set to work on the dad with the baseball bat, hitting his legs, ribs, and body. Williams-Gillett also joined in the beating, kicking the dad and using the baseball bat.
Bennett then turned to the pregnant woman, grabbed her by the throat, and bent her backwards over a fence while goading her partner ‘using her as bait’. When the cousin arrived in his Citroen, the man and his partner got in the car while Williams-Gillett used the bat to smash the windows, including where a child was sitting.
The cousin was punched in the face, but the first male victim managed to drive everyone away leaving his Hyundai behind. When he came back to get the car, the doors had been broken and his partner’s purse containing £350 in cash and her Monzo card was stolen.
Williams-Gillett was sentenced to 18 months suspended for 20 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must also pay £1,700 in compensation. Bennett got 12 months suspended for 18 months with 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement. He must pay £500 compensation.”

In the early 1930s, Germany faced problems almost as bad as (in some respects, worse than) the UK in the 2020s. National Socialism solved most of the more obvious challenges to decent ordered life, and was then able to look to the future. That the “you know who”-ridden outside world (finance-capitalist West, Stalinist/socialist East) turned on Germany from 1939 does not take away the immense achievements of 1933-1939, the years of peace.
Labour’s approval rating is collapsing because of three words.
💥 Update: Eddy Cantor’s barrister – Beth Grossman of Doughty Street – refuses to disclose any information and documents to Mr Cantor, even though he has waived privilege and made a subject access request.
That tweet refers to the aftermath of the libel case Wilson v. Mendelsohn, Newbon (deceased), and Cantor, which was launched by Northern academic James Wilson after a campaign of harassment by a pack of malicious Zionist Jews.
During the currency of the matter, the defendants’ Jewish solicitors (Daniel Berke of “3D Solicitors” of Manchester, and the notorious Mark Lewis of Patron Law, West London), and Counsel (Beth Grossman, of Doughty Street Chambers, London) appear in various degrees to have been incompetent and/or dishonest. The defendants’ (arguende, perjuring) Jewish/Zionist witnesses (every single one was a Jew) were simply not believed by the trial judge.
James Wilson won his case against the odds (and much dishonest Jewish chicanery) and now is actually trying to save defeated defendant Cantor from losing his house as a result of the negligence and dishonesty of Cantor’s fellow-Jews, and particularly “Mark Lewis Lawyer”.
I have to say that the successful claimant, Wilson, appears to be a great deal more forgiving than I would have been in his place. Wilson is now trying to save one of the Jews who targeted him, which Jew has been thrown to the wolves by his own Jewish lawyers and a number of other prominent Jew-Zionists who urged on the defence case against Wilson. Those other Jews, and the Jewish lawyers involved, have been trying to wash their hands of their default(s).
I have blogged extensively about the aftermath of this case, and about (in general, too) the self-promoting yet incompetent and dishonest Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis. Use the search box on this blog for more.
As for the other losing defendants in that matter, I know little about Mendelsohn. As to Newbon (a vicious pro-Israel social media troll, whose own university, Northumbria, had to discipline him repeatedly), he killed himself rather than face up to the consequences of his badness.
I suspect Ms Grossman is desperate not to disclose her response – whether it is an email or a note of a phone call – to this email from Mark Lewis.
At one time, Jews were not even allowed to become barristers in England and Wales (until the Jews Relief Act 1858 was passed, by which time the political influence bought by their money had permeated English society in the Victorian age).
Readers of the blog will be able to guess what my views on this subject are.
Incidentally, and while I am very rusty on the current law — I ceased active practice in 2008, and was wrongly and in fact unlawfully disbarred at the instigation of a connected packs of Jews —inc., in the shadows, “Mark Lewis Lawyer”— in 2016, my understanding is that legal professional privilege is not available against a barrister’s own client. Legal professional privilege, which protects confidential communications between a lawyer and client for the purpose of legal advice or litigation, is intended to benefit the client, not to shield the lawyer from disclosure to the client.
In this case, Cantor has (Wilson says) asked his former lawyers to disclose.
A few pertinent quotations, found here and there:
Purpose of the Exemption: Legal professional privilege exists to encourage open and honest communication between clients and their legal advisors, ensuring clients can fully disclose information relevant to their case without fear of that information being disclosed to others.
Who Benefits? This privilege is solely for the benefit of the client, not the lawyer. A barrister cannot claim privilege to withhold information from their own client.
Duty of Confidentiality: Barristers have a strict duty of confidentiality to their clients, but this duty is not absolute. It is subject to exceptions, such as where disclosure is required by law or where the client provides informed consent for disclosure.
Client’s Right to Information: Clients have a right to access information held by their barrister relating to their case, including confidential communications, unless specific exemptions apply.
Examples of Disclosure to Client: This includes, but is not limited to, the barrister’s advice, opinions of counsel, experts’ reports, and other documents relevant to the case.
Incidentally, I have recently found AI (Artificial Intelligence) to be a wonderful resource in various areas of study or research. This, below, is what it has to say about Legal Professional Privilege:
“Legal professional privilege
LPP protects confidential communications between a client and their lawyer, including barristers, and is a right held by the client. There are two main types:
Legal advice privilege: Covers confidential communications for the purpose of seeking or giving legal advice.
Litigation privilege: Covers confidential communications made for the dominant purpose of obtaining advice or evidence for existing or reasonably contemplated litigation.
Exceptions where LPP does NOT apply
LPP has limited exceptions where a barrister might be required or permitted to disclose information, even to their own client:
Iniquity Exception: LPP does not apply if the client seeks advice to further a crime, fraud, or similar conduct.
Waiver by the client: The client can waive privilege, either expressly or implicitly.
Disclosure required or permitted by law: Statutory or regulatory obligations may compel disclosure, such as reporting suspicions of money laundering.
Public Interest Immunity (PII): A court may order non-disclosure based on PII, where the public interest in withholding information outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
In summary, while a barrister generally must protect client confidentiality and uphold LPP, exceptions exist when the client seeks advice to further a crime, or when disclosure is required by law or court order.”
It can be seen that at least one exception (Waiver) might well apply. to the Cantor/Wilson matter. Possibly “Iniquity Exception” and/or “Public Interest” as well.
Looks as though Beth Grossman is on a loser (again).
Beth Grossman and “Mark Lewis Lawyer” must both be squirming.
Beth Grossman is bullsh***ing me and Mr Cantor.
As if it is manifestly excessive to provide us with her advice and emails.
If Beth Grossman is going to take an absurdly bad point of the sort mooted by her chambers, Doughty Street Chambers, then it says something about her, arguende…
I think Beth Grossman did the whole thing on a no-win, no-fee deal. So she’s done “tens of hours” of work for free, and now it grates to do a bit more.
Them’s the breaks, innit? Don’t get involved if you like the look of the swings, but don’t wanna do the roundabouts?
I was falsely accused of being a freak who takes pictures of kids by Pete Newbon. He instructed Mark Lewis. It all went wrong. Pete died. The other defendants are going bankrupt. I am trying to protect them. Their lawyers are refusing to disclose any information to help. 🤷♂️
The two surviving Jew defendants may eventually sue “Mark Lewis Lawyer” and the other defence solicitors and Counsel. We shall see.
Lewis has no or significant assets within the jurisdiction (England and Wales), though he is believed to own a flat in Eilat, Israel, a fact which was concealed from the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal. When Lewis was found guilty by the that Tribunal in 2018, his own (unpaid) Counsel said to the Tribunal that “Lewis has no assets except his own clothes, a used mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week”…so much for the supposed great defamation lawyer!
So Lewis can only be (effectively) sued jointly and severally with others, notably his fellow partners in the Patron Law firm. Presumably, he has professional indemnity insurance, though.
When I was a practising barrister, I had indemnity insurance, as all barristers are expected to carry. I was never sued anyway, but when I was instructed or “briefed” by a London law firm to draft contracts for the transhipment and sale of oil, my insurance had to be very radically increased, because even one shipment was worth tens of millions of U.S. dollars.

This is INSANE. Warwickshire thought police visit someone who's attending the protest in Nuneaton to advise them on *how to behave*.
The police officer is visibly embarrassed, but listen to the guys response:

So up to half a million lost in a year. Even if that figure includes those “merely” injured (many badly and even catastrophically), it is huge. Unsustainable. The Kiev regime cannot sustain such losses, especially combined with the very high rates of avoidance of military service, and desertion.

This goes well beyond “a pound of flesh“, with or without blood.
It is certainly arguable (for a number of reasons) that Hamas should not have attacked areas of southern Israel in 2023. However, Israeli retaliation went from being somewhat proportionate, in the first few days after that incursion, to being both disproportionate and then utterly brutal after that.
Later, Israeli-Jewish brutality became really just a kind of State-organized sadism, which then morphed into, effectively, attempted genocide of the entire Palestinian Arab population in Gaza. Daily bombing and machinegunning (etc) of civilians, deliberate withholding of medical aid, destruction of hospitals, an embargo on food, the deliberate starvation of children and others, and the planned deportation or slaughter of the entire population.
Incredibly, the Israelis (and the Jews outside Israel that support Israel, and suborned puppets such as Starmer and other UK political and msm souls-for-hire) are still whining about what Germans and others are supposed to have done to some Jews in Europe and Russia, mainly in the early 1940s, 80-85 years ago.
The Israeli embassy was undoubtedly involved in lobbying for my prosecution for satirical songs.

[Matt Goodwin]
Looks as if Goodwin has woken up to what I have been blogging for many years. My blog post below (updated frequently) dates from 2019…
To guess at likely election results 4 years ahead of time is to go where the angels fear to tread, of course, but why should I stop now?!
To my mind, assuming we avoid nuclear war etc, the result of the next UK general election will be something like Reform UK 30%, Labour 25%, Con 18%, LibDems maybe 12%, Greens maybe 8%.
That would in turn result in Reform UK having 319 Commons seats (Lab 157, LibDem 60, Con 50, Greens 4 etc).
A Reform UK on the brink of an overall majority, but look at the Con Party! 50 seats, and only 4th placed behind Reform, Labour, and the LibDems. Terminal.
Unfortunately, I cannot see much chance, as yet, for a genuinely social-national party to emerge. The rise of Reform has taken the wind out of those sails. Still, all roads lead to Rome…
I have seen a few comments on Twitter, mostly from the sort of people who are now quite often in evidence in England, for example from one well-known pro-Labour (Corbyn-Labour, lesbian, and half-caste) activist, to the effect that the death of Queen Elizabeth is of no importance, and that people should focus on energy prices, low pay, inadequate State benefits etc. I disagree.
The death of even one person has meaning, and when the death is that of a truly global figure such as Queen Elizabeth, the State and the society of —in this case— England and Britain is shaken to the core, no matter what else, even of great importance, is happening at or around the same time.
It is not a matter of whether one is a monarchist or not. I myself am not —as such— a monarchist or royalist, and believe that different socio-political arrangements fit national requirements at different times. Neither of my parents was royalist and, in the early 1960s, the royals (mainly the Queen herself, and the Queen Mother), were only glimpsed (by my own family) from afar, both on the TV and at the racecourse (Ascot, Newbury and, occasionally but later, in the early 1970s, Windsor).
All the same, for an Englishman such as myself, born in 1956, only a few years after the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth, her presence, even though experienced mainly on television or in the Press, has been part of the backdrop for my own life, and the lives of others of my generation, whether we like it or not.
As a person usually described as “social nationalist”, though others say some variety of “national socialist”, and even (per the Dowager Lady Birdwood, circa 1975), “national bolshevik“, I cannot but wonder whether all the inhabitants of these islands are affected similarly by this momentous and very recent event.
While I have met blacks (West Indians and a few others) who were both royalist and also had quasi-patriotic feelings about the UK, my impression is that the bulk of the “blacks and browns” (and other such as Chinese) now in the UK have no such feeling or sentiment.
The young Jamaicans, or other West Indies-origined, of the inner cities, the hordes of more recent Chinese immigrants who have flooded the UK (especially though not exclusively in London and the south of England), the Pakistanis and other Muslims, the fake or other “refugees” of various kinds (eg the recent though smallish Ukrainian or supposedly Ukrainian influx) have no sentiment toward either this country or the Monarchy. To them, even those born here, Britain is a place to live in, benefit from, in some cases work in or make money in. A mere geographic space. Most of them have no patriotic feeling, no knowledge of our history, no real connection at all. They are just…here.
I am talking not about politics, or policy, or power, but of
“This royal throne of kings, this scepter’d isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,–
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England“
There is also an age-demographical point here. The younger English too (and Welsh and Scottish) people around, particularly those aged maybe up to 35, are often emotionally distant not only from the Monarchy, but also from the race and nation.
You see msm vox pop, or Twitter, comments, or appearances on TV quiz shows, from those broadly “young”, let us say 18-30, which are so lacking in basic knowledge of England’s (and the world’s) history etc that those talking might as well have just arrived from Mars.
For many of the “young”, the members of the Royal Family are, as I have blogged in the past, basically denizens of the empty and stupid milieu of supposed “celebrity”, not essentially different from the casts of The Only Way is Essex, Made in Chelsea, or whatever else of a similar nature.
Indeed, with the marriage of “The Harry formerly known as Prince” and “the Royal Mulatta” (Harry and Meghan of that ilk), the two previously acquainted but once very different worlds of British Monarchy and “celebrity culture” have collided, with disastrous results, even so far.
As I have blogged on one or two previous occasions, it is not only the British population that has changed; so have “the royals”.
Whatever one may have thought of the late Queen and Prince Philip, they were traditionally and unmistakeably royal. They could never have been mistaken for “the common people”, not even the most ultra-wealthy “commoners”. They would certainly never have been mistaken for members of the suburban middle classes, or the working class or classes.
It can be seen that that unmistakeable “royality” slid somewhat in the generation of Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward. The younger two, Andrew and Edward (born 1960 and 1964), in particular, might be considered similar, at least in some respects, to their neighbours in suburban or semi-rural Surrey or Berkshire. Think of Andrew and “Fergie”, living in their sprawling villa, the so-called “South York”; Edward wanting to run a theatre company; Edward’s wife carrying on (until it became an embarrassment) with her public relations enterprise.
Of course, there have been many other scandals and, most recently, the scurrilous rumours about the next generation, mostly about Prince William.
While the Andrew/Edward generation could be said to be not far, in terms of lifestyle, from the very wealthy of the Home Counties, the William and Harry generation are not so far in attitude and lifestyle from quite ordinary, albeit very wealthy, commoners of their own age. If “Fergie’s” parents were an Army major and a mother, as “Fergie” has said, “from country gentry with a bit of old money“, Kate Middleton’s parents’ origins are that the father, though from a wealthy background (and later wealthy in his own right, via business), worked as a flight dispatcher, while Kate’s mother had been an air hostess.
Subtle differences but, over three generations making, overall, a big difference.
So now we have King Charles III, whom I regard as a basically well-meaning but also incredibly self-absorbed person who is more “at sea” ideologically and/or intellectually than most people think; perhaps more than he himself thinks.
Regular readers of the blog may recall that I blogged once or twice about how I met with and very briefly (a few minutes) talked with the then Prince Charles in late 1996, when I was invited to a royal reception (about 25-30 people) held at the official Residence (not the Embassy) of the British Ambassador in Almaty, then the capital of Kazakhstan.
The new King is 73, and will be 74 in November.
As for the next generation, I once described Princes William and Harry as “tame thick princelings“, signed up to what people now call a “woke” agenda, and I see no reason, several years on, to change that view.
The late Queen was an anchoring presence, not only in what she did but in what she was.
Without necessarily endorsing the following view, it can be said that Queen Elizabeth personified the idea that a monarch, at best, holds a nation together. Britain’s problem now is that it is rapidly ceasing to actually be a nation. It is more like a geographical space within which reside a number of interpenetrating racial, national, social and economic, and ideological, tribes, many of which dislike, or even despise and hate, each other.

Twitter has removed a post from a CMU professor that called the British monarchy a “thieving raping genocidal empire” on the day Queen Elizabeth II died. The removed post from professor Uju Anya said of the queen, “may her pain be excruciating." https://t.co/TTDTDMkJyu
An African woman is being threatened and harrassed today for not showing respect on the death of an English monarch. Even in 2022, colonial supremacy finds a way. Stay strong @UjuAnya, this tribulation is the burden of freedom fighters. https://t.co/b0DxTFO5pE
I believe in free speech, but I do not believe that such a person as this Uju Anya idiot should anyway be taken seriously enough to hold an academic post at a well-known American university.
American academia is very sick, largely because of this sort of nonsense. The usual suspects (((them))) are behind much of it, pulling the strings. The black “academics” (usually retailing pseudo-academic nonsense) are, to a great extent, just the puppets.
Unless America can recover its ethnic white European identity, it is doomed. There needs to be a reset of the white/non-white population-proportion in the USA, getting back to the ~90% white America of the 1920s.
Apart from which, there are times when a decent reserve is the right persona, and when nasty and tasteless jeering is not the right persona.
Sad thing is there will be people in this country celebrating this
For me, the main point is that the tasteless minority pretending to celebrate the death of the late Queen (and a few even hoping, on Twitter etc, that that death was painful) are not only celebrating the death of Elizabeth II, but are also —and in fact primarily— making a truly evil attack on the British people, on our history, on our now-disappeared Empire, on our culture, on our (and all European) culture, and on the overall European way of life. That is why they should all be deported, exiled, or eliminated.

Gov. Ron DeSantis: When public health experts said you can't protest against lockdowns, but George Floyd riots are OK, “that's when I knew these people are a bunch of frauds.”👇pic.twitter.com/HN0St9jNEj
A nation that erects statues of career criminals like George Floyd while tearing down statues of the patriots and trailblazers who built that nation, won't be a nation much longer.
…and despite that, Jew-lobby puppet Keir Starmer and his deputy, thick-as-two-short-planks Angela Rayner went down on their knees in fealty to the “BLM” “Black Lives Matter” idiocy, as did many others, including members of this country’s police, while on duty at that.
That, of course, was before the transnational conspiracy put up other idols for the unthinking to worship: first the “Covid” “panicdemic”/”scamdemic”, and now the present nonsense about Britain’s (non-existent) “need” to “support” the Jew dictator Zelensky and his corrupt and antidemocratic cabal in Ukraine.
The tweets and retweets of the tweeter @DwayneDavidPaul (click below) are instructive. Monkeys like that can only just about live, parasitically, in a civilized society or culture; they could never create one, not in a million years:
The limited Kiev-regime counter-offensive in the south of Ukraine (Kherson area) was joined by another limited counter-offensive in the north-east, in the Kharkov area. Now, however, Russian missile strikes have hit a number of cities.
As for the tweet immediately below here, its judgment would be more convincing had the Kiev regime not been shelling and rocketing the population of parts of the Donbass for about 8 years…
Here is some of the shelling of #Kharkiv by Russia in real time targeting civilians. There is truly no safety for the people when they are not seen as people but targets.
If Russian forces are seriously pushed back on a consistent basis, and if the outcome of this war is in the balance, we can expect to see a massive escalation of force from the Russian side.
Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah has written quite extensively about how soap operas are powerful tools for influencing society (in whatever way the writers might see fit). Soap operas shouldn't be dismissed as bad tripe.
Fresh off his appearance at Wall Street, where he pitched corporations on the plunder of his country's assets, Zelensky will appear at a conference of arms makers in Texas to present his country's war as a fantastic business opportunity. #SlavaRaytheonhttps://t.co/zSNTT6Kcp3
As blogged many times, Ukraine is a new-ish state (1990s), a failed state, and a shambolic kleptocracy run by a pack of Jew billionaires (like Zelensky, who owns several luxury homes including one in Florida worth USD $40 million).
The Zelensky regime shoots its opponents both in secret and in the street, has banned opposition parties, banned trade unions, and arrested prominent opposition politicians.
Liz Truss wants to waste many billions more of UK taxpayers’ money on the criminal Kiev regime, as did “Boris”-idiot.
Two things that seem to need restating. A lie is halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on. And the first casualty of war is truth. Everyone used to know these maxims. The modern web generation appears not to know or understand them.
@alexisbrassey Someone has been getting at you. I don't think Britain has any interest in this Russo-American war and I think the peoples of the region, and the world, would benefit from a negotiated peace. I've never got involved in speculation about the military balance. https://t.co/fKqr9ADhDe
My very normie ex said something similar yesterday, out of the blue. "Something bad is brewing and coming soon. I can feel it". Been noticing when I'm at Costco or the grocery store etc there's no energy. People seem to be just going through the motions.
It's the realisation that things will never "go back to normal." You don't have to be a political, economic, or historical student to see collapse coming. It's also the helpless to prevent whatever bad is coming is horrendous something no alive in the west has experienced
