So which group or “community” has always promoted “diversity” (in reality, the invasion of Sweden and much of the rest of Europe, including the UK, by non-Europeans)?

That’s right— “them” (((them)))

[“A paramilitary-style group descends on Dover to protect Britain’s borders. They’re doing what the government should be doing, and this will greatly worry the government.

The most basic mandate of government is to protect the population.

Our government only protects itself. Parliament gets security and barriers to stop Islamists. British people get Islamists dumped in their neighbourhoods, with no barriers or guards around their schools and homes.

Our government, the civil service, the BBC, our entire state apparatus – THE BLOB – has been taken over by leftists. They have no interest in protecting the population. They would rather replace it with one that will help “abolish whiteness”, destroy capitalism, break down the nation state and support communism.

The establishment doesn’t fear the political right. It can be subsumed into the blob, as the Conservatives were, and left indistinguishable from Labour.

Any changes a political party wants to make to the country will have to be enacted by the Blob, which will refuse to do it. Remember when Rishi tried to implement the Rwanda plan?

Any insurgent political party can be hobbled with smears and investigations (look at Reform right now).

And the blobs’ foot soldiers will commit political assassinations (Ann Widdecombe) pour encourager les autres.

Not that they need to. The UK’s political right bicker themselves into oblivion.

So, many Brits will be relieved to see organised nationalist groups take undeniable concrete action on the ground. I’m sure that these men will be hunted by the state, and legacy media will smear them as horrible bigots. But numbers such as this, organised like this, can’t be ignored.

After the riots in Ballymena and Dublin (and their success in achieving their aims), I warned that the government was creating a blueprint for British nationalists to follow and paramilitary groups would spring up on the mainland. Here we are.

This is a turning point for Britain.“]

[“Say whatever you want, you are wrong!
Well done to those at the protest. Government does not listen to the people, they do whatever they are pleased, therefore it’s all caused by the politicians actions. It looks like people decided to do the same – whatver they want. Then subsequently do not be surprised what will coming upon the whole UK! I am afraid to say, but very likely we are about to witness more and more unannounced uprisings, protest or even worse if the political elite doesn’t wake up and act of its citizens interest!
“]

Tice once again revealing the fact that he and Reform are, in themselves, little more than “controlled opposition” (though they have their uses). Then add to that the fact that Tice and Farage (especially Tice) are pro-Israel and pro-Jewish lobby, and it’s “Goodnight Vienna”…

That silly little guy looks pitiful not only compared to Hitler but also even when compared to, say, Adenauer, Kiesinger, Brandt, Kohl etc.

Talking point

The distinction between Soros’s left Zionism and Kushner’s unapologetic Zionism obscures their shared purpose—to maintain Jewish control over Western institutions, whether through demographic replacement or economic subjugation, under the guise of liberal democracy. Soros’ role is to ensure that the left-liberal side of the lane is not only advancing the Jewish racial strategy of demographically replacing individuals of European extraction but it is also in kosher hands and never mounts any credible resistance to the Jewish supremacist power structure firmly ensconced in the West.”

The MOSSAD defector (and, later, well-known artist), Victor Ostrovsky [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Ostrovsky], noted in his book By Way of Deception [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/By_Way_of_Deception], or his second book, The Other Side of Deception [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Other_Side_of_Deception] (I cannot recall which, having read both in the early/mid 1990s) that MOSSAD analysts had come to the conclusion that the Kennedy assassination (obviously, not instigated by MOSSAD…) had not been aimed at President Kennedy at all, but at John Connally, the Governor of Texas, who was riding in the same car [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Connally#Kennedy_assassination].

A convenient explanation, one might think. Who knows?

Unarguable, surely?

Fine, but what about superficially lawful immigration, which is about 95% of the whole?

I wish that the brainless, meaningless description “national treasure”, as applied to theatricals and others, would be binned, whether applied to horrible Maureen Lipman, to Emma Thompson, to Stephen Fry, or any of the other usual suspects.

Stonehenge, the paintings of Constable and Turner, Dr. Dee’s Magic Mirror etc…i.e. the real “national treasures”— are all OK.

If the treacherous “British” (NWO/ZOG) governments were to stop “poking the Bear” by, inter alia, supplying arms, ammunition, and hard cash to the Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev, there would be no “Russian threat” to the UK.

So it begins…

[“The New York Times: The U.S. Navy is facing a logistical nightmare in the region.

The attacks by Iran have effectively disrupted the U.S. Navy’s logistical network in the region.

U.S. military ships require vast amounts of food and fuel to continue operations. The fleet stationed in the region needs food to prepare over 420,000 meals each week, and approximately 8 million gallons of fuel.

The Iranian attacks have also taken out one of the U.S. Navy’s key logistical bases in Bahrain. At the same time, the threat of missiles and drones has made access to some other ports and regional bases difficult or impossible.“]

Good grief.

[“Ann Widdecombe schools a roomful of woke students on the importance of free speech.

“Only two sorts of people oppose free speech… snowflakes and totalitarians.”

“Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings.”

“It is an occupational hazard of living in society. And if you really can’t take it, become a hermit.”

“No matter how much we may disagree with somebody, we should defend to the hilt their right to say it.”

“You succeed by defeating your opponent, not by wishing him away. You get nowhere by trying not to hear what is being said.”

“You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say.”

“Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few.”

FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING“]

Unlike Ann Widdecombe, Toby Young and his Free Speech Union (etc) are fakes. They pretend to favour free speech, but support the liars and perjurers of the Jewish/Israel lobby, particularly the malicious Jews of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism”.

In fact, the biggest enemy of free speech in the UK, by far, is the Jewish/Israel lobby (and the “CAA” in particular).

What age a person has to be to do this or that is a matter for discussion, hopefully evidence-based.

The age at which a person can drive a car varies from 14 (supervised) in some states of the USA (I think mainly in the South) and 15 (full licence) in some countries (eg El Salvador), to as high as 23 (in Niger), with the majority of countries deciding on 18. It is 17 in the UK.

The age at which someone can buy an alcoholic drink legally also varies, from no age set at all (in a few countries, mostly African), through 16, 17, or 18 (18 being standard) and on to 21, or even 25 (in one or two countries) and of course, in strictly Islamic societies, total prohibition. In the UK, the age at which someone can buy a drink alone is set at 18, but it is 16 if only wine, beer, cider, perry etc is bought, and if that is both with an adult and as part of a purchase of food.

To intrude a personal note, I recall that, as a child of perhaps 9, and at which time (about 1965) children were not even allowed into pubs, I would sit outside country inns at trestle tables, drinking (weak) lemonade-and-bitter beer shandy bought by my father…I also regularly put on bets in the UK in the early 1970s when I was aged 14+, both at point-to-points and at racecourses (usually Ascot, Windsor, and Newbury; also, occasionally, Cheltenham).

The age of consent to sex varies even more, from (dependent on various conditions) 11 (Nigeria), 12 (Angola, Philippines, Canada, Hungary), 13 (Japan, South Korea, Italy, a number of American —USA— states), 14 (Israel), to the —by far the most common— age of 18, and up to 21 in a few American — USA— states, though I imagine that that latter is honoured more in the breach than the observance (the UK has the relevant age at 16 in most cases).

As to voting in elections, most countries now put the age rubric at 18, the UK having been the first to lower the age from 18 (in 1969; first in actual use in 1970).

I think that there is a valid argument to make the voting age 28, but I doubt that many people will agree with me.

As noted previously on the blog, that Weale character (a supposed Conservative supporter), is hopelessly out of touch, and apparently would rather make millions of sick and disabled people suffer and live in poverty rather than restrict funding for his beloved armed forces (he was a regular officer in the Intelligence Corps for 7 years, until 1992, and was later deployed overseas as a Reserves officer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Weale).

If the suspension of training only applies to “non-essential” exercises, one has to wonder why money was wasted on them in the first place.

Go fight Russia on your own (or, as at present, only online…).

Britain should be cultivating better relations with Russia, leaving NATO, certainly not giving arms, ammunition and money to the thug-regime in Kiev, and so acquiring for the British people not only cheap gas and oil from Russia but also a vast market for British goods and services in Russia and the other Russophone countries.

If the Army, Navy, and Air Force were of any real use today, they would be deployed to stop the only real invasion that is happening, or is likely to happen— the migration invasion.

Bravo!

When I was living in Almaty (1996-1997), it had no metro. A Soviet project of the 1980s, it had been abandoned after the Soviet Union fell apart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almaty_Metro.

Looks quite impressive, and I see that there is a station, called Abay (named after a classical-era Kazakh poet), not too far (just about walking distance) from where I once lived on Prospekt Lenina (now called “Dostyk”, meaning “Friendship” in Kazakh); my building was near the junction with Shevchenko Street:

As for safety, well… I only once had a potentially serious problem (I was able to deal with it), but an American living across the street from me (I did not know him, though) was tortured and murdered in his apartment (the supposed killers were arrested the following day), and when an odd character gave a brief talk on “personal security” at the British Embassy to a small audience of expats, including me, he said that, while all the expats (there were only a few dozen Brits living in the city at the time) assured him how safe the city was, he himself had attended a nightclub or bar the first evening after having arrived from London and, upon exiting, had tripped over a dead body…

I could have told him that I myself always kept a low profile, as far as possible, when living in a foreign city, and always avoided all nightclubs, casinos etc, and most if not all bars unless meeting people known to me. That way, I do not have to trip over dead bodies or, indeed, become one.

I hate noisy nightclubs and bars anyway, and tend to distrust most casinos outside Europe. Also, such places attract criminal elements (and police/security snoopers).

That British Embassy character, who was supposedly a security expert with a background in British military intelligence and security, looked just like one of the German characters, “von Smallhausen”, from the TV comedy series ‘Allo ‘Allo! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Allo_%27Allo!]— short, and wearing both black leather coat and black leather hat!

[“Iran is a hard nut for the US because it does not need to win a conventional war. It only needs to make victory too expensive.


It is a large, mountainous country with a population of ~90 million — far harder to invade or occupy than Iraq. Its strategy is attrition: cheap ballistic missiles and one-way drones force the US to spend million-dollar interceptors. The IRGC’s “mosaic” defense is decentralized, so killing leaders does not stop the fight.


The real leverage is the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil normally flows. Iran can disrupt global energy markets with mines, small boats and coastal missiles without matching US air or naval power.


The 2026 war showed the pattern: US and Israeli strikes damaged facilities and killed the supreme leader, but the government survived, reconstituted enough missiles and drones, and used the strait as a bargaining chip.

Sanctions have lasted decades; Iran adapted. Government change or lasting control of the waterway would require costs — troops, munitions, oil shock, regional war — that Washington has so far been unwilling to pay, especially with China as the larger priority.


That is why Iran remains a hard target: not because it is stronger, but because it can outlast the political and economic price of being broken

That Jew is the son of the Israeli Prime Minister of the same name. Remarkable ignorance.

[“IN UKRAINE 🇺🇦 a shootout occurred between 2 law enforcement agencies. Officers from the Security Bureau of Ukraine (SBU) opened fire against officers from Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (GUR). At least 10 officers are receiving treatment for bullet wounds. The conflict is related to SBU arresting Stepan Kaplunov, deputy commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) – a paramilitary special forces unit in GUR consisting of russians fighting for #Ukraine 🇺🇦 The commander of GUR SOF unit “Timur” and the commander of SBU “Alpha” Unit allegedly met and “solved the misunderstanding in relation to the arrest of Kaplunov and agreed on future cooperation. The next morning, SBU officers started arresting unarmed members of GUR. When the GUR officers started resisting, #SBU opened fire – also against unarmed members of #GUR who had “their hands up”.”]

A shambolic and brutal dictatorship which must be crushed as soon as possible.

[“Jason Arday reviewed and approved this student’s PhD thesis, which portrays black women taking trips to London and attending potlucks as forms of “marronage”—the historical practice of Africans fleeing enslavement. The 70K-word thesis is based on conversations with just 3 black women, which were converted into poems and then, after being infused with the author’s own subjective experiences, analyzed via “Critical Poetic Inquiry.”

The thesis can only be described as a tribute to black women such as herself, channeled through an amalgam of slam poetry and activism. She describes her research project in bizarre terms such as: “a lament, a war cry, a chant and a belly laugh” and “a joyful, painful rupture, a disruption, a deliberate transgression, a riff, and a drum beat… a prayer for all we have lost and for all that we can be.”

She is also openly hostile to academic rigor, quoting other scholars when admitting that her project “does not align with notions of ‘neutral’ research or ‘objective’ researchers.”

Academic standards, such as “marking criteria, rubrics and journal requirements that favour written knowledge over that which is communicated creatively (i.e. through painting or performance)” and also “notions that knowledge must be scientifically tested and proven to meet coloniality’s contorted standards of fact” are deemed by her to be forms of colonial oppression.

This raises the question: Why is Cambridge awarding its highest academic credential to a project whose author openly presents accepted academic standards as oppressive constraints to be undermined and resisted? It’s clear the problem of academic standards at Cambridge wasn’t isolated to the case of Jason Arday, but appears to be a form of systemic rot.

Because the thesis was suddenly embargoed for the next 5 years immediately when the Arday scandal broke, we are legally unable to share it in its entirety. So we have performed a very long and thorough exegesis of it, which you can read at the link below. 🔗https://benryan.substack.com/p/cambridge-says-jason-arday-was-an“]

https://benryan.substack.com/p/cambridge-says-jason-arday-was-an

It is all very well to talk about academic freedom etc, and in general I approve of it, but it is clear that the universities, Cambridge in particular, have become a swamp which must be drained and cleared of trash.

[“This highlights a very serious problem in higher education brought about via DEI, which is that the damage done by hiring totally unqualified people does not remain isolated.

These people serve on hiring committees, and third-rate academics hire fourth-rate academics.

They also serve on dissertation committees, where they rubber stamp complete ideological nonsense like a PhD theses that converted conversations with 3 black women into poems and anaylzed it via “Critical Poetic Inquiry.”

The rot is so systemic that it can likely only be fixed by tearing up the foundation and starting over. There just aren’t any serious adults in these departments to bring about internal reform. The inmates are running the asylum, as they say.”]

[“The Jewish dancer in Kiev has literally brought Ukraine to the brink of the abyss. Incredible footage.“]

[“Will the people finally say to Russia, “Help, save us”? We’ll see.”]

The Jew-Zionist/Ukrainian-thug regime in Kiev has pretty much run out of soldiers (front-line cannon-fodder), so kidnaps men off the street. To be “recruited” and then sent to those crumbling front lines is a near death-sentence, of course. The regime is losing 1,000-2,000 men daily (dead, badly wounded, or captured). More desert, despite the penalties if caught.

The poor bastard “recruited” in the clip shown will probably not survive until this time next year, or even to the end of this year.

Never say never“, they say, and they are right; “all comes to him who waits“, they say, and they are right. After all these years, I finally hear Diane Abbott say something with which I am in full agreement.

A number of loosely-connected and supposedly “true” events, many of which however never happened at all, and others which did happen but which were hugely exaggerated. Invented and put out as propaganda during or, mostly, after the Second World War; packaged-up and given the capital letter “Holocaust”; given out to as if holy writ to schoolchildren who are specifically told not to question the supposed “historical facts” taught to them.

Many of the said “facts” are not really facts at all, and many of the supposedly “true events” experienced by so-called “survivors” were hoaxes, made up by the supposed “survivors” in an attempt (in many cases, successful initially) to get money or attention, or both. Another motive has often been to encourage support for the post-1948 Israeli state.

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.

Good luck to all grouse today. As people now say, “stay safe”.

On the blog 3 years ago

How time flies— there is my blog post from 3 years ago today, and that dates from three months before my free speech trial of November 2023. Nearly three years ago. Hard to believe. Still, nice to reflect on the fact that the malicious Jews of the so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” [“CAA”] failed to shut down the blog, even during the trial itself. It has been published almost daily since the trial and sentencing (of March 2024), and is still being published at least 25 days per month.

I was blogging about that months ago. Action causes reaction. Many effectively Russian ships fly flags of convenience. So do many effectively British ships, and the same applies across the world. This is the 21st Century, yet we are now seeing state piracy on behalf of the Kiev regime. Do not think that Russia cannot respond.

The madness should be stopped but, with the ruling circles in the West set on conflict with Russia, the situation may well escalate.

True, but —as with the Ukraine situation— this is also partly an excuse to make people forget that the disastrous and utterly stupid (but on one level, planned) “Covid” “lockdown” immediately placed the UK economy on a permanently lower level, and quite deliberately.

The sheep (you know, the voters…) almost all complied with the ludicrous farrago of fake laws, “rules” etc put out by “Boris”-idiot, little Matt Hancock, and others.

Now those sheep are suffering, or starting to suffer, and the villain is supposed to be Russia, or Iran, or anything but the Western cabals who imposed those fake laws and closed down the UK and other economies for months and years.

I was shocked to see how easily the sheep were led by those with control of the levers of mass propaganda.

“Lockdown”, “social distancing”, “the Rule of Six”, the facemask nonsense etc. All entirely unnecessary (in reality, only a handful of people in the UK actually died of Covid).

As I blogged at the time, on one level the whole “Covid” thing was a massive psychological experiment; sadly, millions of people went along with it and probably even today believe it. Even years later, I occasionally see poor loonies wearing a facemask. Probably the same contaminated piece of cloth they have been breathing through for 6 years. Complete idiots, and victims of a “psy-op” which actually was not hugely sophisticated, though plainly co-ordinated at the start.

A kind of comfort blanket for the weak-minded.

I should love to hear the real views of people such as Sir Richard Dearlove [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dearlove], though I am not convinced that such people know a great deal more, overall, than me. They just know more detail (arguably).

Burnham continues to underwhelm. The weather this year is fairly brutal, but political leadership cannot change it one little bit.

As for “climate change”, the evidence for its existence is patchy, and its causation via “emissions” not proven, as far as I am concerned.

Further, even if there is climate change and even if it is caused by the said emissions, only what is done by the largest industrial powers, notably China, India, and the USA, would make a real difference. Britain is only sending out 1% of the said emissions, if that. In other words, even if Britain disappeared completely, or achieved “Net Zero”, the difference in emission-output would be somewhere between 1% and zero.

What political leadership in the UK can do is to plan ahead and to take strategic decisions that have practical outcomes.

The most important action that should be taken is to stop mass immigration. All the millions of migrant invaders (“small boat” invaders, “legal immigrants”, and those born to immigrant mothers or to stupid British women impregnated by non-Europeans) use water, for one thing. 55 million people lived in the UK when I was born (1956); now, 65-70 million.

The next thing that government can do is to ameliorate the effects of continued hot weather. Build more reservoirs. Not one public reservoir has been constructed in 34 years in the UK. I now read that some are being planned and that a few have even been started. However, it takes years to construct a large reservoir, and months or —more usually— years for such reservoirs to fill, especially in periods of low rainfall.

A further action that would help is to give some financial help to planters and growers who want private reservoirs (which can cost up to £2M). That helps because the water for irrigation would then come from the private reservoir, not from public reservoirs, rivers, and aquifers.

Of course, none of the above can change the weather, but those and other measures might help to mitigate the effects.

I once lived for a while on a Caribbean island without reservoirs or (when I was there) any desalination plant (one was being built while I was there). In fact, there was no mains water on the island at that time. However, all large or medium-size houses were built around a large tank, so that when it did rain (torrentially, in hurricane season), water was retained. Certainly, the villa in which I lived never ran out of water for showers etc (you had to buy drinking water, imported from the USA, mostly).

UK governments should make new buildings include such tanks, and also potential air-conditioning. Yes, there is a cost penalty; well, boo-hoo. It is necessary.

Reverting to Burnham, my initial view of him as someone who just wants to do what appears popular (except for stopping the migration invasion, of course) is daily reinforced.

Look at the “P.C. Harper” case, re. the tinker/”traveller” criminals who killed a policeman a few years ago. The big picture strategy would be to remove or eliminate such “traveller” criminals, if necessary as a whole “community”, rather than horse around, as Burnham is, trying to prevent a few individual ones from getting early release from prison. In fact, he is only doing that because he does not want the mass media to report that he is doing nothing.

Strategy, not day-to-day tactics.

Ah, I must have missed the fact that that Heath individual is now the Editor of the Sunday Telegraph. That explains much. I had been wondering why both the Sunday Telegraph and Daily Telegraph, pro-Jewish lobby and pro-Israel for many years anyway, had apparently become manically so more recently.

[“The cost of chartering the largest oil tankers on the route from the Middle East to China has reached approximately $500,000 per day. At the beginning of the year, this amount was around $25,000-$30,000.

A German news agency reported that due to the increased risks of transiting the Strait of Hormuz, many shipping companies are refusing to pass through the strait. This has led to a reduction in the number of available oil tankers and a sharp increase in prices.

The largest oil tanker carries 2 million barrels of oil, worth $200 million. A 30-day voyage from the Persian Gulf to China costs an amount equal to 7.5% of the cargo’s value. That is, one barrel out of every 13 goes towards the cost of transportation.“]

Following warnings about retaliatory attacks from Iran, Israel’s internal security organization (Shin Bet) has intensified protection for current and former Israeli officials and instructed them to change their normal daily routines for their own security“]

People like me (and, in history, Hitler, for that matter), who tend to have an unchanging daily routine, are of course sitting ducks for attacks by assassins, especially if our mindset tends to fatalism. True, I am not a “public figure” in any real sense, but self-motivated assassins do attack people without there being much logic behind it. After all, who could have imagined that Ann Widdecombe, of all people, would be assassinated?

The Israelis know all about assassinating officials (etc). They invented the letter-bomb to target West German scientists working in Egypt in the 1950s and 1960s.

The only people who dislike socialism are people who have the money and time to live however they want to.

As the economy gets worse, society gets worse, and the political situation gets worse, the amount of people who will put their faith in hyper-capitalism and populism will naturally decrease, because those ideologies offer nothing to people with serious problems.”]

People who, like that useless Blaiklock woman, still talk and think in terms of “left”, “right” etc, are a waste of space; they have no ideas worth consideration. The very fact that she appears to be almost equating the Conservative Party, Restore Britain, and Reform UK speaks volumes.

Yerbury makes good points (they must be; after all, I have been making them for many many years!). What is necessary is not old-style “socialism” as such, though, but primarily something akin to Rudolf Steiner’s Threefold Social Order concept.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_threefolding

Some matters are inherently of the State, and must be controlled by the State or by para-State bodies: the police, the prison system, defence. Others, though economic, have to be regulated or controlled directly by the State: most railways; large-scale water supply; most large-scale electricity production and distribution etc; the postal system. Other matters must be free of direct State control (though not necessarily some regulation): religion; art; music; education; non-strategic economic enterprises.

Incidentally, the Blaiklock woman’s first husband was a Nepali, and her second a Jamaican.

Migration invasion, but the Con Party did nothing to stop it in 14 years, and the Labour Party is encouraging it. Also, the “small boats” are only about 5% of the migration invasion. Most immigration consists of non-Europeans arriving in the UK as visa-holders of various types. Thirdly, births to non-white women already in the UK, and births to white women where the father of the child is non-white. A 3-pronged invasion.

Stray thoughts

I happened to see a film on Channel 4, Wicked Little Letters, a kind of comedy-drama based (very loosely) on actual events in the 1920s. Apparently, the film has been popular.

Well, like not a few films, this one had much going for it —famous actors and actresses, and good locations— yet, in the end, was underwhelming.

The subject-matter is hardly new— poison-pen letters causing turmoil in a small town, in this case on the South Coast of England.

The plot is derivative, and the denouement could be seen coming down the track long before it arrived. The acting, though skilled, was (presumably deliberately) overplayed. Apart from that, the anachronisms were several.

At one point, Timothy Spall’s character reads in his newspaper and comments about the Suffragettes’ campaign going on while “the boys” were fighting in France. Well, the film is set in the 1920s, and we hear that the War has been over for some time. Women of 30+ were given the vote, in principle, in 1918.

Another anachronism: one of the main female characters has a West Indian boyfriend living with her, very unlikely in the 1920s, if only because there were very few blacks in England at the time.

Then we see that one of the local women is also West Indian. In Littlehampton, Sussex. In the 1920s.

The first ever appointed local policewoman, who detects the truth, turns out to be Indian, again very unlikely in that era.

A policeman seen towards the end of the film is a West Indian; in reality, the first black policeman in England joined the (Metropolitan) Police only in 1968, I believe.

Finally, the judge at the eventual trial is also black!

This is more than unintelligent casting; it is cultural sickness.

A repentant sinner…

What a surprise…or maybe not. I have been blogging about this for some time.

I think not.

Beria’s mother was of Georgian noble stock, and a devotee of the Georgian Orthodox Church. Though it is not completely impossible that his father was a Jew or part-Jew, he was a landowner in Mingrelia and was a Mingrelian (a minority inside Georgia). Again, a Jewish background is highly unlikely.

Why did a German newspaper in 1952 describe Beria as Jewish? Probably part of the early Cold War propaganda output pumped out at the time by the West German intelligence agency called the Gehlen Organization (a CIA ally). A good way to counteract Soviet propaganda etc in postwar West Germany would be to say that Beria was a Jew (many Communists were, of course).

The Gehlen Organization was based at Pullach, near Munich, which makes my theory even more likely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gehlen_Organization.

That tweet shows the problem. Politics is not, or should not be, a game. Those Hitler called “dirty democratic politicians” in the 1920s however regard it as a game, in which “approved” players get careers, money, prestige (even if they “lose” the “game” in relative terms). For the British people, though, this is no game. It concerns their lives, the future of their children etc.

You see the same pathology, or a similar one, in scribblers such as Peter Hitchens, or scribblers-turned-politicians such as Matt Goodwin, when they talk about there being a “debate” about the migration invasion etc. This is no “debate”. It is an invasion and a war.

So far, I concede that Burnham has done two things of which I approve. The first was to ditch the Digital ID policy of Starmer-stein. It had to go, and was not only ludicrously unworkable but also a dystopian intrusion into “the lives of others”.

Liz Kendall has been flying well above her true level (county council or local council) for years. She has no business being in national politics. Thick as two short planks despite her paper education, and an Israel-loyalist (Labour Friends of Israel) as well. She has a history of trying to make the disabled and needy etc poorer, yet she herself lives with an Old Etonian asset manager worth untold millions, and in a house worth millions:

Kendall is currently in a relationship with Old Etonian and global head of multi-asset solutions at Santander Asset Management, James Ind. She lives in Notting Hill in a Victorian home purchased for £3.9 million in 2021.”

[Wikipedia]

I think that Liz Kendall is at least part-Jew, but have so far been unable to find direct evidence of that.

She is 55 now, so her dismissal probably marks the end of her political career beyond being a backbench MP.

Still, good riddance, as far as it goes.

Lammy gone too. Brilliant. He demeaned every office he held. A thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire”.

Not to forget:

Rachel Reeves too. Good news. Another hard-faced Labour Friends of Israel puppet.

Morning thought

Surely the basic things of life and social life should be made available by society to all citizens (not any interloper straight off the boat)? Meaning clean air, clean water, green spaces and a green environment (meaning trees, bushes, parks, not a pseudo-“green” agenda). Basic local transport. Enough money or other wherewithal to buy food. Decent housing. Medical and dental care. Educational services.

In my view, basic income will have to come. There is no point in making the unemployed (still less the genuinely physically disabled) jump through hoops to get a small amount of necessary money against a background of relatively few jobs paying enough on which to live.

AI and robotics are loosening the bonds between work and production, and the links between work and pay.

The basic State Pension is paid to all citizens over the rubric age regardless of real contribution or even real need. The same is true of Child Benefit. It may be that the time has come to supply all citizens with Basic Income, even if on a low level, regardless of contribution or even need. There are economic arguments in favour of providing it, regardless of provable need, just as people over a certain age get a pension from the State regardless of their need.

The case was brought after a Gazan-born mother-of-three – who came to the UK as a refugee and is now a British citizen – was refused permission to bring her extended family into this country.

Her relatives – both parents; a brother, his wife and four children; a sister and four children; and another sister, her husband and three children – won a legal challenge on human rights grounds.

The Palestinians argued they had a ‘right to family life’ under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and won their case under Section 6 of the Act which sets out how it is ‘unlawful for a public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with a Convention right’.

The ruling showed most of the adult applicants could not speak English and that the UK-based sister would only be able to accommodate her parents.

[“The Windrush generation has been one of the most effective propaganda tools used against the native British population to justify mass immigration.

The reality? It’s all a lie. They were never formally invited, the locals did not welcome them, and even the government of the day actively opposed granting them citizenship.

Before The Empire Windrush left port in 1948, Prime Minister Clement Attlee tried to divert the ship to what is now Tanzania. He viewed coloured immigration as a threat to “White Britain.” The British government at the time was so nativist that several ministers publicly declared they would prefer White prisoners of war as domestic workers over Black immigrants.

When the ship docked at Tilbury, passengers were met by angry crowds holding signs reading “Keep Britain White.” Local residents continued to protest the colonisation of their communities by the Windrush arrivals and their descendants for decades afterwards.

The British Nationality Act 1948 proved to be our undoing. It was intended to allow White Commonwealth, Anglosphere, and European citizens to come and work in post-war Britain, but the legislation failed to anticipate the enormous numbers of non-White migrants who would later exploit it.

In 1952, Winston Churchill attempted to introduce legislation to restrict Caribbean migrants from gaining permanent residency and citizenship. His efforts failed, blocked by the very Act of 1948. Britain, unravelled by a single piece of legislation.

The so called ‘British values’ of ‘tolerance’ and ‘diversity’ endlessly promoted today are myths. We conquered the world and then attempted to keep our colonial subjects out of Britain itself. Our history was one of strength, achievement and glory, not tolerance and diversity.

No one voted for mass immigration or demographic transformation. These modern ‘values’ were created by internationalist scoundrels who use them to justify flooding Europe with the third world, so they can profit off cheap labour.

Never let them tell you that Britain invited these people here. Don’t let them gaslight you.“]

Also, with her husband now imprisoned for the next few years (over 5 years sentence, so maybe out in 2 or so), she can consign him to the wastepaper basket and live as a lesbianka in London.

As I guessed before 2024 would happen with Starmer-stein, Burnham has failed before he has even started.

I suppose that Burnham can see that the Labour MP cadre is going to be severely culled whenever the next general election is held, so has decided to 1. try to keep the non-white/Muslim/Pakistani vote as far as possible, and 2. try to win back the white English/British etc 2024 Green Party voters.

Burnham’s problem is that both of those groups together add up to no more than 25%, at most, of the potential electorate.

Meanwhile, all the signs are that the whole society is slowly collapsing, leading to frustration, and then rage…and, down the line, a demand for proper social-national government.

Translates to a Commons with about 258 Reform UK MPs (68 short of a majority), 100 Cons (weak official Opposition), 97 Lab, 69 LibDems, 60 Greens, 42 SNP [etc].

Either Reform minority govt. with Con support, or some kind of unlikely “grand coalition” of non-Reform parties.

The white South Africans, especially the English-speaking ones, were weak.

In the final analysis, they gave up their supremacy for the chance keeping their swimming pools and wealth, and to drive around in jeeps wearing stupid rugby shirts. They failed.

Nature, managed Nature, homesteading, permaculture, rewilding, and the potential symbiosis of rurality and advanced technology

Some of the background to the Nastya and Village Life videos.

Incidentally, that person makes a very good income via YouTube: see

She gets some direct donations, even if only a few hundred U.S. dollars per month. She seems to have an overall income from online activity somewhere in the region of USD $7,000 per month at present, which is decent, to say the least, especially in Russia, and even if (as I expect) it is taxed at about a third.

I had noticed in some of her videos that she (or her now-ex husband or boyfriend) owned a foreign vehicle; her German kitchen appliances etc were also noticed.

Not that I am criticizing. It is very clever to mix a rural life with an income largely derived from the most up-to-date technical advances, such as online vlogging.

Another example of similar or not entirely dissimilar (though more “eco”-oriented) activity would be Bealtaine Cottage, in Ireland: https://bealtainecottage.com.

https://www.youtube.com/user/BealtaineCottage

As a matter of fact, when I had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), the lady from Bealtaine Cottage used to retweet my material sometimes; then the same Jewish cabal harassed her, and tweeted to her about how I was supposedly “mad, bad, and dangerous to know“, as Lady Caroline Lamb said of Byron. The Bealtaine Cottage lady then blocked me. Still, I am bigger than that. #MoralHighGround…

Tree cover in Europe varies from a mere 1% on Malta to 74% in Finland. Ireland has only about 11%, so the example of Bealtaine Cottage is well worth both noting and emulating.

The UK is also deficient in tree cover (about 13.5%, though possibly increasing slightly). I believe that, immediately after WW1, the situation in the UK was even worse, about 5%, which is why the Forestry Commission was established in 1919, though at first only to grow conifers for timber production.

If you see old photos and film of England from the First World War era, or even 1930s, the denudation of the landscape in many rural areas is clear.

Ireland, after WW1, had a miserable tree cover of only 1%, incredibly, so even the 11%-12% presently seen is a huge improvement, even more so than in the UK.

Both countries are moving over to Nature-friendly broadleaf planting now.

Bealtaine Cottage has only 3 acres, in fact (though the dense vegetation makes the plot seem larger), and the lady owner has planted 1,000+ trees herself, mostly from seed or from cuttings. The so-called “power of one”:

The “power of one” indeed, but that just emphasises how much more a group, even a small group, can do (in any area of activity). When scaled-up to a whole society doing things, the available power of transformation can be huge (again, in any field of activity, not just ecological and environmental).

The main point made, though, is that you do not, in the end, need a group or organization. One person can do it, alone.

The cartoons below show what can happen when biodiversity is reduced, but not everywhere is going in the wrong direction.

As far as Bealtaine Cottage is concerned, this is what Google AI has to say:

The lady behind Bealtaine Cottage is Colette O’Neill, a native of Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Born into a large family of eleven children, her journey to creating her famous woodland sanctuary involves a fascinating mid-life reinvention. [1, 2, 3]

Early Life & Teaching Career

  • Education: Colette won a scholarship to attend the Loreto Convent Grammar School in Omagh.
  • Life in London: She spent a major portion of her adulthood living in London, raising her three children. As a mature student, she attended Middlesex University, graduating with honours in education in 1992.
  • Profession: Prior to her ecological work, she spent over a decade working as a full-time schoolteacher in London. [1, 2]

The Escape to the “Good Life”

By 2004, tired of the relentless pace of London life and single in her late 40s, Colette plotted her return to Ireland to pursue a simpler, self-sustaining lifestyle. She spent holiday weekends hunting for property, eventually buying a derelict, roofless stone cottage sitting on three acres of severely waterlogged, north-facing bogland in County Roscommon. [1, 2, 3]

Despite having no plumbing, electricity, or local family support, she moved in alone to prove that one person could restore the poorest land into a thriving ecosystem. [1, 2, 3]

Current Identity & Work

Now in her late 60s, Colette has lived at the cottage for over 21 years and identifies deeply as a writer, folklorist, vegan, and Pagan “Tree Mother”. Her daily philosophy has evolved from standard permaculture into what she calls “Goddess Permaculture”—a deeply spiritual, mindful connection to the Earth. [1, 2, 3, 4]

She is a officially recognized artist by the Irish government and funds her lifestyle entirely through her ad-free YouTube channel, Patreon, and Bealtaine Cottage Publishing, through which she has written and self-published several books, including A Cottage and Three Acres and Walking Between Worlds.”

So there you see the practical aspects. Her 3-acre plot does produce quite a lot of food, probably all or most of what she needs. She even sells any surplus locally. Heating is mainly from wood she has planted, cut, and dried.

Apart from that, the Bealtaine Cottage lady has no direct income via her YouTube channel, (ad-free, by her own choice, which is very principled, in view of the fact that she has 90,000 YouTube subscribers). She could otherwise get maybe £1,000-£1,500 per month from that source alone.

Actually, I am seeing ads on her vlogs, but whether she herself profits from them, I have no idea.

She does get donations (at least £300-£400 per month) via Patraeon (~127 subscribers), and a little more via other online donation sites. Her own books, self-published, must bring in some income, and that is all tax-free in Ireland, because recognized artists, writers etc are untaxed.

I do not know whether she gets any direct income via Twitter/X; maybe not.

At age 65-70, that lady must also get UK and/or Irish state pension payments, and probably also has a small private pension from her decade teaching in London.

My point is that the lady has diverse income streams (and few expenses). The Russian lady, Nastya, is more limited in where her income originates.

Ideally, one does not put all eggs in one basket.

I always recall seeing a TV show, circa 2001, about a black American financial specialist adviser. One person advised was a young man from somewhere like Luton or Bedford who had arranged to hire a jet airliner simulator. He then sold blocks of time for 30 minutes at a go, as a novelty. He was making something like £100K a year in the money of 2000 (you could double or triple that in the money of 2026).

He was offered £650,000 in cash (so over £1.5M in 2026 money) for his business —and was advised to accept— but refused. A few months later, the 2001 attack on New York happened, and BA (who owned the simulator) and all other airlines were told by government not to allow any stray people to use flight simulators. The young man’s business collapsed overnight. He vanished into obscurity, having thought of himself as an “entrepreneur”, when really he had just had one lucky and time-limited success.

Eggs. Basket(s).

Another case. I knew via a friend, a middle-aged Scottish lady who thought she knew everything about finance and business, but in reality knew nothing. Her father had owned a very large business in Scotland; it produced hydraulic pit props (for coal mines), I believe. By the time her father died, in the late 1960s or early 1970s, the National Coal Board was not ordering many such props. The business was insolvent. It employed thousands of people.

The lady of my fairly slight acquaintance was a civil servant in London. She took over despite knowing nothing of business. Her motivation, well-meaning but silly, was to try to keep the business going for the sake of its employees. All that happened was that the collapse, which might have been mitigated, was total, and delayed by only months, not years. All the employees were left with neither employment nor even corporate redundancy payments.

After that, the Scottish lady had some money, and a large mansion flat in St. John’s Wood High Street, very close to Regent’s Park. Such apartments, especially of that size, are now valued in the millions. Even then, the value was very high. She sold it and, with a proportion of the proceeds, bought the one-time private residence of Ribbentrop, from when he was Ambassador of the German Reich in London. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_von_Ribbentrop#Ambassador_to_the_United_Kingdom. That detached house, in Barnes, just south of Hammersmith Bridge, and down a quiet side road, had a pleasant garden with mature trees, at least by the early 1980s when I saw it a couple of times, and a large number of bedrooms.

The Scottish lady rented out at least a dozen rooms to foreign girl students, cash in hand. I suppose that that would have brought in the equivalent (in 2026 money) of a couple of thousand pounds, perhaps more, each week. In cash. Almost certainly not declared to the tax authorities. Was she satisfied with that? No, of course not…

The Scottish lady conceived the idea of a clothes shop with nice fashions for fat women (to put it bluntly). She herself was enormous. Clothes for very fat women were, at the time, apparently hard to find in the UK, so she went to the USA to source stock.

She actually mortgaged her house in order to launch this doomed venture. A shop was leased, in Marylebone High Street, and its name emblazoned above the doors— Largesse. Maybe not a very diplomatic name…

I myself, then in my mid-twenties and not yet embarked on my law degree, actually slept on the shop’s floor overnight once or twice, because the burglar alarms had not been installed.

Anyway, suffice to say that that shop failed, spectacularly, and the lady eventually died, about a decade later, effectively and maybe actually bankrupt.

Lesson? Self-knowledge prevents too-ambitious an undertaking. Also, that sometimes one can get by quite well on what one has. That Scottish lady had few essential expenses and, in the money of 2026, a cash income, untaxed (in effect) of at least £10,000 per month; significant capital as well.

Compare that to Ms. O’Neill of Beltaine Cottage, who has a small fraction of that income, yet lives, it appears, rather well on it. As a friend of mine at the Bar once remarked to me, “it’s not what you make, it’s what you spend.” Trite, of course, but true.

The way forward for many may be to disconnect as far as possible or convenient from the general society, to link up with others fairly loosely, and to prepare for the quite likely collapse of that general society.

Naturally, everyone will have a pathway that suits the individual circumstances; the knowledge-level of Ms. O’Neill in Ireland is very greatly higher than that of the Russian girl. Both cases, however, are worth studying for what they can impart,

I have only just seen that vlog post, and it answers some of the questions or speculations that I wrote about only today. Synchronicity, perhaps.

Housing for migrant-invaders, while British people struggle.

As previously noted on the blog, Labour Friends of Israel, Bilderberger, NWO/ZOG, and part of the Mandelson cabal at one time.

System MPs such as Lucy Powell are just clowns, really.

Good grief, just listen to that silly bitch spouting her soundbites about “decent, well-paid jobs“, good housing etc. Meanwhile, in the real England and Wales, migrant invaders are still flooding in, there is a near-collapse of law, order, and previous social norms and, in soundbite language, the rich are getting hugely richer, and almost everyone else is sinking, as shown in the cartoon below from 15 years ago (and still valid):

Anyone supporting the migration invasion should also be placed in a detention centre, if you want to call it that. Or work on projects creating canals, or in forests.

Man… “, meaning African migrant-invader.

As for “what is happening“, what is happening is relatively slow-burn social and political collapse, for which System politicians and (((the usual suspects))) are largely responsible.

Loan“? Ha ha…

Incidentally, I wonder what odds the bookmakers would offer against Ghislaine “Maxwell” getting a Presidential pardon from Trump in his last few days in office in 2029? Might well be worth a good substantial punt, in my opinion. I wonder whether they would offer 10/1. My own assessment of the real chance is nearer 50-50…

Translates to a Commons with about 226 Labour MPs (100 short of an overall majority); 221 Reform UK (strong official Opposition); 57 Cons (about half of the present number); 52 LibDems; 43 SNP; 14 Greens; 12 Plaid Cymru [etc].

A hopelessly hung Parliament. Burnham would only be able to pass legislation with the assistance of all the LibDems, all the Greens, all Plaid, and all SNP (adding up to 121, so even then several short of an overall majority, but about half a dozen more than a bare working majority. Hopeless.

As a matter of fact, I think that a Burnham government is going to become pretty unpopular pretty quickly.

I cannot see Burnham holding a general election at present, i.e. later this year, because I am assuming that Labour’s large present majority would disappear (as it loses 200+ MPs). On the other hand, if Burnham just takes over, as Sunak did from Liz Truss/”Boris”-idiot, and refuses to call an election for years, then we are back to square one, and Labour is toast.

Good for social-nationalism, probably.

Ambiguous (the actual interview).

Quite. All the same, I remain sceptical of the primary assertion. Finland the happiest country? Seems unlikely to me, frankly…

I never use the “right”/”left” terminology, but it is good to see many, especially many young, awakening to reality.

[“SHE NAMED 270 ABUSERS. THE COUNCIL GAVE HER A DIVERSITY COURSE INSTEAD In 2001 a Home Office researcher called Adele Weir mapped a child abuse network in Rotherham. She found at least 270 victims and named the men running it. The Hussain family was on that list. Rotherham Council and South Yorkshire Police had the names, the cars, the addresses. Their response was to tell Weir to never mention Asian men again and book her onto a two day ethnicity and diversity course. A few months later her files vanished from a locked office. Computer records were altered too. Nobody was ever charged for that either. It took until 2016 for Arshid Hussain to get 35 years and Qurban Ali to get 10. Fifteen years after Weir handed the council the names on a plate. The Jay Report in 2014 confirmed 1400 children were abused in Rotherham. The Casey Report in 2015 called the council not fit for purpose and pointed straight at a culture that put political correctness above child protection. This keeps happening because the playbook never changes. Raise the alarm and you get managed. Stay quiet and you get promoted. Weir did her job. The people whose actual job was protecting children sent her to a workshop. Sources: @thetimes @BBCNews @yorkshirepost.”]

Neither Muslim nor Jewish individuals should be in the police, civil service, or government, whether at local or national level.

The multikulti society can never function properly.

I saw on TV news a clip from the speech. As I have already predicted on the blog, the Andy Burnham Labourite circus, like some wine, does not travel far from its native terroir, in this case Manchester.

As predicted, Burnham is already a disaster, and he is not yet even elected by the Labour MP drones as their chosen leader (and so, Prime Minister by default).

Our present electoral and political system is a (contrived, rigged) joke, as is Burnham.

Of course, behind Burnham stand Labour Friends of Israel. In short, the “you-know-who” (((them))).

Saturday quiz

Well, an unusual week, in which political journalist John Rentoul scored higher than me— 7/10 as against my 6/10.

I did not know the answers to questions 2, 3, 4, and 7, though in fact I had heard of no. 2 (but forgotten it), and should also have got no. 3, but did not.

Three years ago

Saw this, from exactly 3 years ago:

Dutch family bought a house in rural Russia for less than £20,000

Certainly puts to shame the American and British ones I have seen.

As was inevitable, Burnham turns out to be just another System puppet. I expected nothing other.

The corruptors of our legislature, as well as the general society.

Josh Simons: Jewish or, maybe, half-Jew; former Director of anti-Corbyn pro-Jewish-lobby and pro-Israel organization, Labour Together; former Chair of Labour Friends of Israel; met his wife at Harvard, but her exact provenance is unknown; was MP at Makerfield but gave up his seat so that Andy Burnham could be parachuted into Downing Street to replace Starmer-stein (because Starmer had lost the confidence of the voters). Now Burnham’s Chief of Staff.

Join the dots.

Jesus H. Christ! How long can it be before some species of civil or social war breaks out in our poor country?

Exactly what this blog has been predicting for years, at least 2 years if not longer— “asylum” and other claims rubberstamped before the bastards ever get here. The other, similar, scam is of course “closing asylum hotels”…yes, because the migrant-invaders are being placed in council or private rental property, while British people languish endlessly on housing waiting lists.

Apart from anything else, everyone knows (even the hardened pro-immigration drones) that virtually all the immigrants are parasites, and even if a small number are not, their extended families are or will be. A significant number are also, or will be, criminally-inclined, one way or another, and a very small (?) but not insignificant number will be either terrorists, terrorist sympathisers and possibly facilitators, and/or dangerous mentally-disturbed crazies.

Much depends on what happens with both Reform UK and Restore Britain. Even if voters are voting against some party (eg Lab), and so voting elsewhere (eg Reform, Restore), they still, most of them, will not vote for parties that are an absolute shambles.

The System may foment a war with Russia —or create a pre-conflict period— thus also providing the excuse to “postpone” a general election. Were that to happen, though, the vanguard of the British people might have to rise up, seriously, against the System (and I am not talking about such stupid and trivial acts as throwing wheelie bins at police, or taking part in pathetic and tiny street protests).

The reality is that Wikipedia has for years been infiltrated by Jews intent on spreading Jewish/Zionist, including pro-Israel, propaganda.

Below, a tweet from several years ago, published by the liars and perjurers known as “Campaign Against Antisemitism”. Note that the “CAA” wanted (and wants) to recruit Jews with their own Wikipedia accounts, so that Wikipedia will not flag the fact that (((their))) “edits” (i.e. vandalistic edits) are part of a Jew/Zionist campaign; those edits will appear as if from individuals, rather than from a Jew-Zionist conspiracy.

Yes but no but…

Reform’s problem is that its policy at present is to allow to stay in the UK all those so far granted “indefinite leave to remain”, and all those granted ILR right up to whenever (if ever) Reform forms a government. Thus 80% —even of beach-landing— migrant-invaders, and almost all “legal” migrants, will not be affected. Millions. Tens of millions.

On those premises, the only reason to vote Reform is that it is marginally better than the (other) System parties.

Not good enough.

I hope that Reform and Restore can at least move the Overton Window, and also trample down Lab and Con, thus making it easier for social nationalism to rise up, so —to that extent— they have that potential utility, but Reform at least seems to want a society composed of quite similar populations to the present.

Not good enough.

Finally, the Jewish/Zionist/Israeli influence is already embedded in Reform.

Not good enough.
