The “unwanted truth”. The Twitter-twits and similar people will close their ears. They want to believe that mass immigration has nothing at all to do with the housing crisis, or low pay, restricted State benefits, crowded schools, hospitals, trains etc, even water shortages.

They also prefer to believe that you can import half a million or a million persons per year, mostly from very backward parts of the planet, to the UK, without any effect on public safety, a decent life, standards in all areas, you name it.

As Hitler said of the people of the Weimar Republic, “they want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion“.

ā€œTerrible news for Ukraineā€ – European experts on Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance Donald Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his candidate for the post of vice president of the United States has again raised fears in Europe that the former American leader will take a businesslike approach to foreign policy and will pursue it based on the principle of ā€œAmerica First,ā€ writes The Guardian.

This, as the article notes, could lead to the United States insisting that Kyiv give in to Vladimir Putin and ask for peace with Russia. ā€œIt’s bad for us and it’s terrible news for Ukraine,ā€ said one senior European diplomat in Washington. ā€œVance is not our ally.ā€

Foreign diplomats and observers often call Trump’s current policies a “black box,” saying it is impossible to know for sure what the unpredictable leader will do once in power. Some are comforting themselves by suggesting that leadership candidates such as former US national security adviser Robert O’Brien will maintain the status quo on foreign policy while Trump focuses on domestic affairs. But the would-be US president now has a much more energetic deputy who will stoke Trump’s skepticism about Ukraine and Europe while urging the party to pursue aggressive trade and foreign policies in other parts of the world.

Last week I made the decision to cancel my Conservative Party membership after nearly a decade. The party has failed to set out a positive visionĀ on housing, the environment and investment, as well as a pragmatic stance on Brexit. It has also drifted from the values of inclusivity and aspiration which drew me to the party under Lord Cameron.Ā This isn’t me leaving the Conservative party, it’s the Conservative party that has left me.Ā Read my interview with the Telegraph on why for the first time I am politically homeless.”

Once again, I refer readers to what Khrushchev said about Malenkov, namely that the “filing clerk” type should never be given power. That’s Starmer, in essence, a would-be dictator but in the guise of a careful, over-controlled lawyer.

Trump

Trump looking presidential, in a way that he rarely did even when he was President before.

If he can survive the campaign and get re-elected, his personal history, and his personal flaws, can take a back seat. He can stop funding Zelensky and the whole Kiev regime. That can be his first task.

Trump may be in a position, if or when re-elected, to call a halt to the rush to world war. That is the issue of primary importance.

An arrest warrant has been issued for an asylum seeker who tried to bring cannabis onto the Bibby Stockholm barge and then bit a police officer when he was being arrested.

Kenson Noel, aged 29, pleaded guilty at Weymouth Magistrates Court on June 7 to possession of a class B drug and assault by beating of Portland Port Police officer Christopher Grant.

The charges relate to an incident on May 16, 2024.

He was due to be sentenced today at Poole Magistrates Court but did not appear.

This triggered a warrant for his arrest to be issued by the court.

The court previously heard that Noel, whose address was given as a hotel in Bournemouth, is an asylum seeker who fled Trinidad and Tobago after being threatened by gangs.

People on both sides of the Irish Sea are getting very angry, and that can only continue and intensify as more millions of migrant-invaders arrive in 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029 etc.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13635989/lost-alphabet-Biblical-Canaanites-jordan.html

Archaeologists have finally traced a lost alphabet that puzzled scholars for decades back to a 3,000 year-old civilization of Biblical significance. 

Since 1964, archaeologists have found 15 different tablets with strange carvings at the site of an ancient settlement in Jordan.

Thanks to new analysis, archaeologists have found that they were likely made by the Canaanites, an indigenous group who thrived in the Middle East until the second half of the 13th century BC. 

The Canaanites resided in ‘the Promised Land’ from 3500BC until 1200BC before they were conquered by Israeli tribes following their Exodus from Egypt.

The Canaanites are mentioned several times in the old testament, including the books of Genesis, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Joshua.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13636153/trump-classified-documents-case-dismissed-judge-rules.html

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump in a bombshell ruling less than 48 hours after the former president was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump was accused of taking highly sensitive national security documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate when he left the White House, and FBI agents seized a trove of material during a search of his Florida home in August 2022.

Judge Cannon threw the case out based on ‘violations’ of the Constitution’s Appointments and Appropriations clauses.

In her ruling, she found that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional.

The decision has an enormous impact on Trump’s legal battles, and he now faces just two criminal trials in Georgia and the federal court in Washington D.C. 

A year ago, Trump’s classified documents case appeared to be his most serious legal threat: perhaps easier to prove than Trump’s January 6 case, which relied on public statements, tweets and complex schemes involving electors around the country to charge a complex conspiracy to overturn the election.

Everything’s going Trump’s way, it seems…

Fuck it. I’m just gonna come out and say it. After a lot of thought, I am now 100% behind Donald Trump for President. Let me explain my reasoning…

Trump fell short in many ways in his first term. He was weaker than he should have been on the border. He appointed people to his cabinet that frankly stained his image and sunk his reputation. He let us down with the vaccines and Operation Warp Speed. But it’s about more than Donald Trump. It’s always been about more than Trump.

He has awakened the sleeping giant in America and across the world. People have hit breaking point. And they are sick to the back teeth of the status quo. For all my reservations, I do believe at heart his intentions are mostly good. Compare and contrast him to a demented old man who doesn’t remember what he had for breakfast.

What happened on Saturday night pushed me over the edge. They have tried everything to stop this man. Impeachment, election rigging, lawfare and now an attempted assassination in broad daylight. It’s not about trying to stop Trump. It’s about trying to stop a populist uprising.

In these times we can’t be picky. Trump isn’t going to fix all our problems. Trump isn’t going to save the world. We are living through a time of pure evil, the likes of which only God can protect us from. But we have to rebuild, we have to reorganise. We all have differences of opinion on various issues but ultimately we all see the evil in this world and we all want to make a change. And I believe the best start to that work is to get behind Donald Trump and use our influence to push for the change we want to see.”

There has simply never been a nation-state in history that has endured the sheer scale and speed of demographic change that is currently unfolding around us and remained a healthy, socially cohesive, prosperous, high-trust society.

[Matt Goodwin]

Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. The “Great Replacement”…

…and virtually all the children now being born in the UK, and particularly in England, are non-white (including mixed-race). Demographic disaster.

Let’s bin all “diversity hires”, starting with David Lammy, presently and ludicrously posing as Foreign Secretary.

Ha ha…yes, but the joke is on us…

The System promotes idiots like that, making sure that they can wave a few bits of paper (tick-box degrees, diplomas etc) if challenged, as a way of accelerating the destruction of European civilization.

Even the System msm cannot ignore the migration invasion completely, because the public has started to awaken and, indeed, become fearful of what is happening, and what might and probably will happen not so far down the road.

The Twitter-twits, and the System politicians, have been laughing at the Reform UK result at GE 2024 (“only 5 MPs” etc), but the underlying reality is that, out of nearly 29M actual votes, Reform UK got over 4.1M, the Conservative Party only 6.8M, and victorious Labour 9.8M.

Labour received under 10M votes, and has 411 MPs, despite only getting about (indeed, less than) two-and-a-half times the number of votes cast for Reform UK, fobbed off with merely 5 MPs.

As noted in previous blog posts, for every 20 people who were eligible to vote at GE 2024, a plurality, 8 people, did not bother to vote, probably because they were disenchanted with the whole set-up.

Out of that group of 20 people, only 4 actually voted Labour.

Another 3 out of the 20 voted Conservative; 2 voted Reform UK. 2 also voted LibDem (which however received only 3.5M votes as against Reform’s 4.1M). (Almost) 1 notional voter out of the 20 voted Green, which party received 1.8M votes.

The point is that Reform UK is, at least in part, “controlled opposition” but, notwithstanding that, over 4 million people decided to register their anger by voting for it. Another 19.6 million did not vote.

It is possible that, were a credible social-national movement to exist, a substantial part of the 19.6M non-voting bloc, as well as a large part of Reform UK’s 4.1M bloc, might vote for, or otherwise support it.

Remember, out of every 20 adult people in the UK, only 4 voted for Starmer-Labour.

Starmer-Labour has no real mandate from the people.

This is only the start.

Europe can only be saved when its peoples, including the British, rise up against the tidal wave of migration invasion.

Starmer-Labour carrying on from where the Sunak misgovernment tailed off. The System is evil.

All you really need to know about the real view taken by both Starmer-Labour and the now-binned Sunak misgovernment is that virtually all government ministers (of either main System party) were and are signed up, in reality, to the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. Mass immigration into Europe, with the aim of destroying European culture and civilization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Talking point

Happened to see part of one of those fly-on-the-wall cop shows, called Police Interceptors. The bit I saw concerned a raid on a house where a man was thought to be trading in drugs.

The police arrived in force, were ready to bust open the front door but found it unlocked, so went in and took control of the property. The man named on the warrant was not at home, but his wife/girlfriend/whatever was, along with her small and terrified children.

In the kitchen, the police found large bags stuffed with herbal cannabis, apparently harvested from the marijuana farm in the attic, which the police also found. They also found little plastic bags used for retail sales of the drug.

The woman was arrested only because the wanted man refused to give himself up, but was in touch with the woman by telephone, under police guard, and was apparently nearby. He gave himself up a few days later.

What interested me was that I should have thought that there was ample evidence to prosecute them both for “possession with intent to supply”, but in the end the woman was released (I was distracted so missed the exact outcome, I think an official caution), and her husband/boyfriend/co-habitee was apparently not charged with anything!

A big raid, the police all dressed up in the paramilitary style to which they have become accustomed, warrants obtained, searches made, drugs found, arrests made and, in the end…nothing.

The police and CPS need to start dealing with (real) crime, rather than snooping on tweets and blog posts and generally behaving like a poundland Stasi.

This country is now pretty close to running on empty.

Arguable. Open question (as to whether the attempt to kill Trump went beyond the 20-y-o sniper).

There do seem to be questions to be asked, and which are being asked.

Strange. I would not have thought so, looking at him, but there it is, for what it may be worth.

The Jerusalem Post does not address that, either way: https://www.jpost.com/international/article-810259

Neither have other Jewish and/or Israeli news outlets: https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/07/14/more-details-emerge-on-trump-shooters-background/; https://www.jns.org/thomas-matthew-crooks-20-idd-as-trump-shooter/.

The Guardian:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/14/trump-rally-shooting-fbi-names-20-year-old-from-bethel-park-as-subject-involved

Demands for answers were mounting on Sunday as to how an armed man was able to get into position on a roof overlooking a rally and fire shots at Donald Trump ā€“ the 2024 presumptive Republican nominee – despite federal and local law enforcement presence and witnesses reportedly alerting police.

Trump was bleeding from his right ear and later described a bullet whizzing by while he was speaking at the rally. An attendee was killed and Secret Service agents then shot dead the suspect, with eyewitness reports that someone outside the rally had told police they’d seen the armed suspect heading to the roof but it appeared that officers did not respond.

ā€œHow was it that someone could get [in position] on a roof … with a weapon and try to assassinate [Trump]?ā€ Turner told CNN’s State of the Union show on Sunday morning, adding: ā€œThe fact that people knew there was a man with a rifle and were trying to get the police’s attention is a cause for concern.ā€

[The Guardian]

What we also know is that this shocking event is about much more than the shooter and the bullet. The race for the White House, which in recent weeks has seen Donald Trump pull comfortably ahead in the polls, was already turning deadly. On a private phone call with donors last week, Joe Biden reportedly said, ā€œIt’s time to put Trump in a bullseye”. Only two weeks ago he described Trump as ā€œa genuine threat to this nationā€. And these were only the latest in a long series of quasi-violent threats that came from the ā€˜liberal’ left of American politics, not the right.

There was Robert de Niro saying he’d like to punch Trump ā€œin the faceā€. There was comedienne Kathy Griffin who posed with a graphic model of Trump’s severed head. There was Mickey Rourke who said he’d hit Trump with a ā€œleft hook from hellā€On and on it goes. Anthony Bourdain, Snoop Dogg, George Lopez, Pearl Jam, Madonna, Johnny Depp, Rosie O’Donnell. These are just some of the many left-leaning celebrities who have threatened or wished violence upon Trump.

The two female U.S. Secret Service bodyguards look useless. Out of place.

The real UK population is already somewhere between 65M and 70M. Wake up.

It is bad enough when families like that get caught up in a “normal” war, but what we see in Gaza is a relentless and largely one-sided attack by one side (which alone has planes, real missiles, tanks, all sorts of advanced weaponry etc) upon an almost defenceless population. A kind of savage bullying of a civilian population by a heartless and ideologically-harsh tribe.

As for thick-as-two-short-planks Lammy, were he not (for his own benefit) willing to say more or less what the UK Israel lobby wants him to say, he would not be in the (Labour Friends of Israel) Starmer-Labour government, let alone Cabinet.

The last tweet there by tweeter “@alexphaea” is typical of kneejerk Labourites, i.e. “all that matters is having a Labour-label government, even if it is almost indistinguishable in policy terms (or results) from a Conservative-label one“…

One of the latest statements by Senator J.D. Vance, who today became a candidate for US Vice President in conjunction with Donald Trump, about the conflict in Ukraine :

“In particular, on the issue of Ukraine, everyone with a brain knows that this will end in negotiations… Ukraine is functionally destroyed as a country… […] Our policy towards Ukraine is unsustainable. The average age of a soldier in their army is 43 years old – No one older than me can articulate what $61 billion can achieve, so we need to seek a negotiated end to the war.

If Trump can get re-elected, and take away Zelensky’s ricebowl in all senses, the war can finish, either by negotiation in a few months, or via Russian victory east of the Dnieper in a few weeks.

Sadly, though, all mainstream American politicians are poisoned, at an early stage in their careers, by the Israel lobby:

Still, politics is the art of the possible. There are no social national candidates of any weight standing in those American elections.

Late thought

England in 2024, a “nation” which pretends to be in mourning because the “England” football team, most of whom are not really English anyway, fail to win a football competition somewhere or other.

England in 2024, a “nation” consisting of people more interested in that football result than in the fact that between half a million and a million migrant-invaders every single year are invading this country.

After Trump’s courageous immediate response to the attempted assassination, his stock among the American voters must surely rise.

This must surely seal the Presidential race for Trump, even if the Democrats replace Biden with someone compos mentis.

Having said that, were Biden to be replaced by someone such as Michelle Obama, popular —God knows why— among the non-whites who are now the majority of the American population, it is possible that Trump might lose, I suppose, but that really might see an actual civil war develop.

Have we just seen and heard, in those popping shots at the Trump rally, the first shots of the second American Civil War, akin to the shot fired at Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina in 1861, or even that fired by the cruiser Aurora in 1917?

Is anything Liz Truss may think even worth reporting? Her rise to prominence, then —briefly— power came as a result of peculiar and particular political circumstances; and, after all, she only became an MP in the first place on her back.

Were her crazy idea about pension age ever to be implemented, it would cause an electoral, and perhaps actual, rebellion that would make the rise of Reform UK look like the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

Thick-as-two-short-planks “diversity hire” Lammy is not only a barrister and a member of Lincoln’s Inn (as I was from 1986 until my wrongful and unlawful disbarment in 2016, when I was automatically expelled) but I think now even a Bencher there. He is welcome there; I am not. Could one imagine a more absurd example of where our society has gone wrong?

Quelle surprise…

As Matt Goodwin has predicted, the Starmer-Labour government will crash and burn very quickly. It has no real mandate anyway, despite its Commons majority. Only 33.7% of the popular vote. People wanted rid of the fake “Conservatives”, that’s all. Few really wanted Starmer-Labour. Don’t forget that Sunak’s “Conservatives” also had a large Commons majority.

How is it that a Zionist Jew such as Aaronovitch can post that, and nothing happens, but a comment or cartoon about Jewish behaviour, allegedly posted by an English blogger, causes the suborned UK police and/or CPS to go mad?

Oh…

I refer readers to the posts re. my free speech trial of 2023.

Quite.

Of course, both Biden and Trump kow-tow to the Israel lobby, but at least Trump would or will avoid war with Russia and, I hope, take away Zelensky’s ricebowl.

The Labour hegemony in the younger age-groups (highest in the 25-34 age-group— 46%) will not last. The wider 18-44 group —where Labour support was, at GE 2024, over 40%— will soon defect or fall away when Labour fails to improve the housing crisis, or improve the poor deal renters get in the UK, among other issues.

Farage

I see that the little world of UK Twitter/X is going mad because Farage is going to visit Trump. According to those Twitter-twits, Farage is neglecting his duties as MP and, in particular, neglecting the constituents of Clacton by briefly going to the USA. They obviously have no idea that a great many MPs either do nothing at all for their (notional) constituents, or send pro-forma letters back to them, explaining why they can do little or nothing. There are exceptions, but those are exceptions to the general rule of uselessness.
