Shocked. Today I started down the road to residential care for two lovely parents. It’ll cost them £3k a week (£1.5each) until their hard earned savings & house are gone. Then the State will pay just £600 a week each. They will subsidise the system after a lifetime of graft.
I saw the same with my late mother-in-law. Having said that, the costs of care (even basic care) are huge, and the private organizations doing it are often a rip-off. Also, there is the point that the market value of real property has exploded in the UK over the past half-century, and that has intensified since 2000 or so. Thus the “net worth” of many has accumulated not because of the “graft” they have done in their lives, but partly, perhaps largely, because of the febrile UK property marketplace, burning hot because of cheap money and government policy.
There are many who do not have houses worth £500,000, a million, or more. There is an argument that the taxpayers, including all those poor people without real property, should not have to protect the inheritance expectations of the offspring of those who have accumulated capital via over-valued houses.
A difficult question, and one which Boris-idiot’s government of fools and chancers (and its predecessors) have run away from trying to answer.

Ukraine
I have little to add to that which I have written in the last few days and weeks.
In the final analysis, if Russia hesitates now, its one chance to reset the NWO/ZOG agenda will have been lost. In a year’s time, any invasion of Ukraine will be ten times more difficult than it is now. This is not only a chance to seize Eastern Ukraine and Kiev (and possibly also Odessa and the littoral from Trans-Dniestria to Crimea, including the estuary of the Dnieper), but also a chance to redraw, strategically, the map of Europe as a whole, and a chance to derail the 2022-2055 agenda of the New World Order.
As to the flying visit to Kiev (yesterday) of Boris-idiot, there is really no point in blogging about it; a clown visiting a clown.
That's a worryingly vague law, isn't it? Literally anything can be defined as "likely" to cause harm, depending on who you ask.
The words “Nadine Dorries, Culture Secretary” or, indeed “Nadine Dorries, Cabinet minister” seem impossible, but that is where Britain now is, under the part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer and liar now posing as Prime Minister.
This latest attempt to impose a full, and Zionist-permeated, police state, must be met with far more force than was the “Poll Tax” some 30 years ago.
This latest repression has obviously been instigated by (((the usual suspects))). “They” are the problem, or the main problem, when it comes to free speech, and general freedom of expression, in this country (and in the rest of Europe).
The by-election is to be held tomorrow. It is not a very interesting contest, in that Lab, LibDem, and Greens are all absent, out of (they say) “respect” for the previous, and assassinated, MP.
As I have previously noted, that leaves only a ragbag of minor candidates, of which the best seems to be Steve Laws (UKIP), though I have little time for what is left of the UKIP conservative nationalists. Still, if anyone in Southend West wants a protest vote, Laws is the right choice.
I suppose that turnout will be very low; we shall see. Anyone who voted Labour, LibDem, or Green last time is completely disenfranchised in this pseudo-democratic farce, and will feel unable to support any of the minor candidates standing. Many former Conservative Party voters will also not bother to vote, I should expect.
Anyone of a broadly “national” or social-national orientation has a choice, though a poor one: Jayda Fransen (Independent), Steve Laws (UKIP), or Catherine Blaiklock (English Democrats). “Heritage” and “English Constitution” (whatever that may be) are also standing.
Of the above lot, I think that Steve Laws is the best choice for a protest vote.
I have blogged about it previously: the voters’ dilemma, meaning a hostile, anti-British, indeed non-British, Government, effectively controlled by Jew-Zionists, and an ineffective, useless, anti-British and largely non-British Opposition, also controlled by Zionists…
What now? There is no real democracy; neither is there proper government.

Those rebelling, or dissenting, and refusing the chip, will find that using their banked monies, getting anywhere beyond their local area, buying food, using the NHS, will become all but impossible.

The idiot presently posing as Prime Minister of the UK is in Ukraine today, making a public relations gesture.
I don’t suppose that it will happen, but wouldn’t it be great if the Russians were to invade today?! Especially if Johnson’s last photo-opportunity were to be upstaged by a Russian T-72 tank, rolling over that clown as he cracks his last joke or spouts his last bullshit…
I have already blogged about Johnson’s absurd attempt to copy both Churchill and Mrs. Thatcher, and so create a mirage “Falklands Factor”. This is quintessential “Boris”, a smoke-and-mirrors gesture accomplishing nothing.
Putin’s putdown of the Downing Street clown was classic: refusing to waste time on “Boris” by scheduling another call after the first one never happened. “Close the door on your way out”…
On a more serious level of speculation, looking again at a map of the region, it occurs to me that Putin could go a bit further than I previously speculated.
[Daily Mail speculation]
I see that the Daily Mail‘s “experts” have concurred with my view expressed recently, that Russia might decide that the right strategy is to seize Eastern Ukraine (Ukraine east of the Dnieper river), as well as the Kiev area, but leave the more hostile Western Ukraine until it can be secured by a puppet, or at least pro-Russian, new government in Kiev.
I now go beyond that to wonder whether Russia might not also take Odessa (on that map, “Odesa“, the Ukrainian spelling).
Odessa is close geographically to the very pro-Russian breakaway “state” or “statelet” of Trans-Dniestria, by Moldova, where Russian forces are stationed, and only 100 miles or so from Crimea, now again part of Russia, and the location of its Black Sea Fleet.
Odessa’s population is nearly one-third Russian.
Were both Kiev and Odessa taken, along with Eastern Ukraine, then Russia would control all but one (Lvov, “Lviv” on the map) of the half-dozen most-populous cities of Ukraine, and its one major port (Odessa). That would leave any rebellious rump-Ukraine centred on Lvov as a weak “state”, and with no way of easily building up military power, or even importing and exporting except by land through Poland or Hungary.

Happened to see part of a TV interview with Liz Truss, the present Foreign Secretary. Liz Truss. Foreign Secretary. Two words I never should have imagined would ever be found in the same sentence.
The impression given was that of a woman playing a record for the umpteenth time. Very unimpressive. As for her attempt to threaten Putin and his circle with sanctions of various kinds, very hollow.
The fact is that, short of initiating nuclear war, there is nothing that even the US President can do to halt an invasion of at least Eastern Ukraine, should that be Putin’s decision. Boris-idiot and Liz Truss are reduced to tweeting, appearing (unconvincingly) on Sunday morning TV shows, and funnelling arms, mainly small arms, to the Kiev government.
As for “Boris” trying to insert himself into the Ukraine situation, making telephone calls here and there, and wanting to visit Eastern Europe soon, pretty pathetic. Obviously driven by his domestic problems.
The British, “led” by Johnson, are no more than unruly spectators in the Russia-Ukraine situation.
…and don’t forget the Jew who is President of the Ukraine. So that’s both President and Prime Minister. What are the odds?
Incidentally, Wikipedia notes that Zelensky is a Jew, but not Shmyhal. Wikipedia is unreliable if there is a Jewish or Zionist aspect to anything, because Jewish “volunteers” and Israeli orgs constantly monitor the site, and make vandalistic edits.

In fact, I dislike them even more.
Looking at that Daily Mail analysis, looks as if many voters agree with me, moving from Con to “Neither”, in effect.

These terrible stories make me wonder what the Western or NATO allies —basically the Americans— were doing in Afghanistan for 20 years. The same poverty and backwardness that has been there for decades, if not forever, at least in the provinces.
I remember talking to a couple (actually a woman; her husband was a dour unfriendly fellow who seemed to dislike me, and tended to sit glowering at me) at the inn, in a Devonshire village, where I often stayed when in the UK 2006-2009. They had seen Kabul for a few weeks, maybe longer, in the 1970s. It was OK for Westerners then. Interesting to hear their account.

For twenty years, the “West” was in Afghanistan, in force, and bankrolled the Karzai regime. What is left? Almost nothing. What should have been done was to rule directly, or very closely with suitable puppet rulers, and to impose a less-backward culture on the country, for its own good.
Well, once again I beat political journalist John Rentoul, scoring 7/10 as against his claimed 5.5/10. I did not know the answers to questions 5, 6, and 9 (had I thought for a moment, I would have recalled No. 5).

War with Russia is “unthinkable”; it would result in the near-obliteration (and nuclear pollution) of the British Isles. There are a large number of air bases, some naval ports, a couple of submarine bases, early-warning stations, not to mention electrical power generators such as nuclear power stations. Also, the centre of government and politics (London).
The only slight positive amid a forest of negatives would be that, in the inevitable chaos following a nuclear missile attack, certain hostile elements could be eliminated.

I do not think that I can usefully add to that which I have written in previous blog posts about how the “White Australia” “Lucky Country” I knew for a few years of childhood (in the late 1960s) has become, incredibly, a stressed and multikulti biosecurity police state.
One of the most telling indications that Britain has been sliding into a kind of fake “communitarian” fake “caring sharing” police state is that, during 2020 and 2021, and up to the present, Lord Sumption, a former “Law Lord” (Supreme Court justice), has been presented by the msm, System politicians, and of course the know-nothing pro-facemask, pro-lockdown Twitter mob, as a kind of lunatic or eccentric, to be ignored, sidelined, or just laughed at.
I have blogged fairly extensively on Ukraine in previous blogs over the past week. There are number of reasons why Russian forces may well invade at least the Eastern Ukraine area (i.e. East of the Dnieper river), as well as the Kiev area. There are few if any compelling reasons not to.
The Ukraine has been a shambolic corrupt mess for 30 years, and its military preparations look like something out of the First World War, with a bit of WW2 Dad’s Army thrown in. In fact, that Daily Mail account refers to British-sent weapons arriving in Lvov, in the deepest part of Western Ukraine, the least likely area to be occupied by Russian forces.
[Kiev. Civilians “training” with cut-out wooden “weapons”—suicidal]
[Russian self-propelled howitzers, training recently in the Urals— part of what is coming down the road at the Kiev-government forces]
As I have blogged in recent days, if there are sudden acts of sabotage in Kiev or elsewhere in the region (probably executed by Spetsnaz contingents), the countdown will have begun, and the “war” will have begun, in effect, major Russian armoured and other formations following within a few days. I imagine that the initial phase will be short, perhaps less than a week. Putin holds all the cards of importance.
Talking of the corruption of the past 30 years in Ukraine, I am reminded of an egregious carpetbagger whom I encountered in the late 1990s.
A lawyer originating in Virginia, the said carpetbagger —I shall call him “Z.”, not so much to protect the guilty but so as to make a libel suit even less likely— had an office in the City of London and one in Kiev. He wanted me to come to work with him, and probably relocate to Kiev before too long. I had recently returned to London from a year in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and was interested. I had never been to Kiev, but knew that it was considered, in Soviet days, as the greenest (the most “treed”) city in the Soviet Union, and in other respects quite pleasant.
I found Z.’s London office utterly chaotic. Just him, a secretary, and a rather pretty receptionist whom I had encountered somewhere previously, though I could not recall where exactly. She remembered me too.
Z.’s own office looked like a bomb had hit it. Anyway, I agreed to do some work for a few days on a trial basis, but soon found that Z. was a very strange individual, despite stellar paper qualifications. He once again proved the “rule” that, if someone has half a dozen degrees from various countries, he is either a brilliant near-genius, or a charlatan. Z. was no near-genius, in my opinion anyway.
It soon proved impossible to work with a near-lunatic of that sort. I left after 2-3 days, and needed to shake Z.’s cage a little to get him to pay up even a modest amount in recompense.
I did see Z. once more, about a year or two later, travelling on the Central Line. I was standing, he was seated. He pretended not to have seen me, and kept his eyes averted. Perhaps he was afraid of being assaulted (I confess, the thought did cross my mind!).
As it was, I exited at Chancery Lane and he disappeared with the train, eastwards.
There is an odd coda to this little reminiscence. I was talking over lunch, a year later, with someone who might or might not have been connected to SIS (I am still in two minds about that). Somehow, Z.’s name came up, and the luncher told me that Z. had a rather bad reputation in Kiev, partly because he paid girls aged about 16 to walk, naked except for high-heeled shoes, on Z.’s back as he lay on his front…
The luncher added that he himself found it distasteful, not least because Z., a person in his 40s, himself had a daughter of the same age.
Whether the luncher had some particular reason to tell me about Z.’s proclivities, I have no idea. Perhaps the Italian white wine had affected his tongue, though somehow I doubt it. Anyway, if there is one thing I am fairly good at, it is keeping a secret, so Z.’s oddness has not seen the light of day (via me) until now, about 24 years later. Anyway, as said, I got the story about the naked 16-y-o girls secondhand, and have no idea whether it is true.
I see now that “Z.” (whose name does not contain a Z) still has those London and Kiev offices, though.
Biden and the msm now saying that Russia may well invade Ukrainian territory “next month“. Well, that month starts next Tuesday. To my mind, as blogged previously, the longer Putin delays, the harder it will be. To minimize harm, the Russians must take Kiev and the whole area of Ukraine east of the Dnieper river. Russians are about a fifth of the population of the Ukraine anyway, and most of those Russians live in the eastern part, though many also live in other areas, especially in Odessa and in Kiev itself (which is between the eastern and western areas).
Should the Nordstream-2 pipeline be stopped from being completed, that will be an economic blow to Russia, but also a pretty big one to Germany and other states, causing energy prices to rocket further.
The Western (NWO) strategy seems to rest on the idea that Putin and his cohorts will weigh carefully any economic damage against the regaining of Ukrainian territory..
In fact, for Putin and most Russians, the economic sanctions etc will just be a painful experience but bearable, just one hardship out of many many hardships in Russian history. Such hardship weighs lightly as against the strategic necessity of preventing further NATO (NWO) incursion, and also the visceral feeling that Russia without at least Eastern Ukraine is incomplete. After all, let’s not forget that, out of 1,100 years of history, Ukraine has only had political independence for 30 years.
May the Russian strike, if (when) it comes, be swift and swiftly victorious, in order to minimize harm to all, especially the civilian population(s).

Griffin is right. To understand all this (and more), you have to forget the illusion of a “British” government doing its best (competently or otherwise) for the British people. Its loyalty lies elsewhere, with the secretive cabals and ruling circles.
Look at idiots such as “Boris”, Nadine Dorries, Sajid Javid, Gove, Liz Truss etc; in the past such jokes as Ann Widdecombe, to name just one out of dozens, hundreds. These are not the “rulers” but their drones; the monkeys, not the organ-grinders.
The aim of the real rulers behind the Western throne(s) is to build up North America and the Pacific Rim (especially China), while keeping Europe down and turning its population black-brown (mixed): the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.
That is why the “British” government is now impoverishing the British people, first by its 2 years of (supposedly) “anti-Covid” lockdowns, shutdowns, mask-wearing nonsense, fake “vaccination” nonsense etc. Secondly, by provoking Russia in general, and now particularly over Ukraine, which will send the cost of energy, including home heating sky-high.
They do not care about that, and in fact are just about to raise “National Insurance” (tax), and keep cutting useful public spending while continuing to waste huge amounts on “Covid” nonsense. The people are being conditioned to accept permanently-lower living standards.
Meanwhile, the “British” government promotes mass immigration, including the cross-Channel migration-invasion (though that is the least of it). They are encouraging Africans and others to come here in their millions. They have invited 5 million Hong Kong Chinese to move here.
“Our” government is now our enemy. What about “the party formerly known as Labour”? Even worse…
Andrew Windsor
Seems that the person formerly known as Prince (Andrew) is probably going to request a civil jury in the case brought against him by one of the victims of the Jew Epstein. To my mind, this is a strategy unlikely to succeed. I am still nominally an attorney at the New York Bar, though I have never practised law in that state (I passed the exam 32 years ago), but my view about this matter comes more from my knowledge of Americans themselves.
Andrew Windsor is on the wrong side tactically: British, as against his accuser, an American. A man as against a woman, in a generally feministic part of the world. An older man as against a younger woman. An hereditary foreign “royal” as against a US-born-and-bred US citizen. Very wealthy, as against someone without inherited wealth, and brought up in either a “trailer” or a very modest house.
Does Andrew Windsor really think that a civil jury in New York City will be on his side? Maybe this is a tactic to gain time while his lawyers find out how much the lady’s price might be. A great deal more than the rent of a Manhattan apartment and a free seat on a private jet, anyway.
I knew that pro-Israel MP Robert Jenrick is married to a Jewish woman (indeed, an Israeli citizen), and that their children are being brought up according to Jewish rites and traditions, but what I did not know, though I suspected (from his attitudes, marriage, and circle of acquaintanceship) is that Jenrick himself is part-Jewish: https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/jenrick-tells-mps-of-jewish-zionist-wife-death-threat-letter/. I had no concluded view on the matter. Now it seems that he has referred to it, though —arguably— ambiguously.
A stray thought in these turbulent times
“And rival storms abroad are surging From sea to land, from land to sea. A chain of deepest action forging Round all, in wrathful energy. There flames a desolation, blazing Before the Thunder’s crashing way: Yet, Lord, Thy messengers are praising The gentle movement of Thy Day.“

I myself had never even heard of “Adele” until about 2015, if not later. Even then, I had never heard any of her stuff until a few days ago, when I briefly heard her howling (I think that that is the right word) on TV.
Admittedly, and as a (trendy?) C of E vicar told me on Twitter several years ago, I am sometimes “a bit out of the cultural loop” when it comes to popular culture. I would also not recognise other well-known artistes or their stuff, such as Coldplay, though I have read the names of such groups occasionally. I had never even heard of (or seen) the names “Ant and Dec” until someone mentioned them to me in 2006 or 2007 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_%26_Dec].
I am told that Adele does not always howl. Well, perhaps. I concede that that is quite possible, having only heard about 20 seconds from her.
This situation has been building up for years. There was an understanding, when the Soviet Union collapsed or, more accurately, faded away, that NATO would not expand its membership or operations.
NATO, after all, only existed in the first place as a solidification of the Western alliance of the Second World War, and then only because of the massive Soviet military presence both in the western Soviet Union itself and also in Eastern and Central Europe: the “Pribaltika” (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), Poland, the DDR/East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and, until 1955, Austria (the last foreign troops occupying Austria left in 1955). NATO was established in 1949, the Warsaw Pact in 1955 (after West Germany joined NATO). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact.
The USA (really NWO) also established the South East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) on the other side of the Eurasian landmass.
[2021: NATO member-states in green]
[NATO timeline: existing members in dark-blue, new members in light-blue, non-members in grey]
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist (formally in 1991, but in reality from 1989-90).
There was an opportunity in the early 1990s for a real partnership between the West and the former Soviet Union, but it failed for several reasons: among others, the wish for nominal “independence” on the part of areas that had been part of the Soviet Union and, before then, the Russian Empire; the wish on the part of “Western” companies, law firms etc to exploit Russian and other people and resources; a wish on the part of the NWO to rule Russia, in effect; the collaboration of Jew “oligarchs” with the “Western” gameplan in the Yeltsin era.
The Confederation of Independent States [“CIS”] was, unfortunately, blown apart by the combination of post-Soviet nationalism(s) (in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia etc) and the infiltration of American military activities into the newly-independent states around Russia.
Some of the former satellites (Poland etc), were keen to join NATO after their experience of Soviet occupation, and effective Soviet rule, over many decades.
NATO has, since the 1980s, got involved in South-Central Asia, the Middle East etc. Far from its original geographical area and purpose. It is the NWO battering-ram.
We have seen NATO “pushing the envelope” over recent years; not only in Ukraine, but in Georgia and elsewhere. However, things have now progressed to the point at which Russia cannot accept more encroachment.
The Soviet Union had an ideology of world domination, albeit muted in latter decades. It was a serious danger to Western Europe. Russia now has no such ideology, and is basically defensive. It poses no danger to Western Europe, unless constantly provoked.
The USA is now beefing up the forces of the Kiev government, so Russia would be advised to strike earlier rather than later.
There should be an institute, similar to SS-Ahnenerbe but focussed more on the future rather than (only) on the historical and prehistorical past, to examine all such questions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahnenerbe.

An interesting character, whom I recall seeing on TV in the early 1970s. A man of many parts, and many talents, though with a few obsessions and, in some respects, narrowness of view. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bentine.
One of Bentine’s most interesting recounted experiences was when he and his father accompanied someone (obviously some kind of occult initiate) to a hidden place in a Kent wood at night, not long before the Second World War, and where they were greeted by the entire realm of Nature present, animals, birds, insects, and plants.

For those who haven’t had time to watch the full five hour discussion, COVID-19: A Second Opinion, I am imploring you to watch this 30 minute highlight video.
Was interested to see the proportion of facemask-wearers at Waitrose in the early evening. About 20%. The facemask nonsense has had its time in the sun, at least until what passes for a government in the UK finds an excuse to re-impose the nonsense.
The “panicdemic, together with its absurd “laws”, “rules” and “guidance”, has exposed, brutally, the level of psychopathology in large parts of the population. In various ways. Those who fear, not “the virus”, at root, but everything outside their own circle. The obsessive and pointless mask-wearing is one example. Another is the alacrity seen in those suddenly given petty power to tell others to wear a facemask, wear it differently or better, stay x-feet away from other shoppers (or from the said obsessive), and so on.
“The virus” has also exposed what little real respect most people now have for civil liberties, or even logic. So it was that the people —many, perhaps most, of them— accepted the ludicrous “Rule of Six” made up by the part-Jew, part-Levantine chancer and liar posing as Prime Minister.
Doubt about the official narrative has grown, but only slowly, and it may be that the System overplayed its hand, in that the conspiratorial “SAGE” committee (I used to call it “DUMB”— the “Department Under Matt and Boris”) heralded the “Omicron variant” as something likely to kill hundreds of thousands.
Well, now, only weeks after the latest alarmist predictions of the egregious Professor Ferguson and his cohorts, we see that “Omicron” is killing almost no-one, despite the frenzied testing and consequent announcement of millions of “cases”.
The public is waking up, though seems to have little real anger about having been played for two years. The System has spun it as “the measures taken mean that —if we keep “vaccinating”— we can live with Covid“. That spin or gloss pats on the back SAGE, the No.10 chancer, the government as a whole, and the poor saps otherwise known as The Great British Public…
Thus the Government (weakly opposed by the “we can run workhouses better” fake Opposition) can remove the various restrictions without having to admit to having got it wrong for 2 years, and without having to impliedly admit that the “panicdemic” was also —largely, not entirely— a “scamdemic”, and the measures taken for other reasons.
Seems that the latest news is that canvassers for the Conservative Party have been met with “a wall of disapproval” never previously encountered. That may mean a very low turnout as people “vote with their feet”. They cannot vote for any credible alternative because they have been denied that option.
The System parties have decided that, as with the Jo Cox assassination, the David Amess incident must be marked by the voters being denied a proper choice at the by-election, leaving standing only the “Conservative” Party candidate and a ragbag of small and/or joke parties and independents.
It will be interesting to see what proportion of the vote will go to Steve Laws (UKIP), who is somewhat known, by reason of his monitoring of, and tweeting about, the cross-Channel migration-invasion. He seems to be the front runner after the “Conservative” woman, though Catherine Blaiklock (English Democrats) may get quite a few votes.
I doubt whether Jayda Fransen (standing as Independent) will do well, but perhaps the Southend West voters will confound me.
Southend is not an area I know. I have been there, though only for an hour or so, and long ago, in 1977 or 1978.
I had returned from a youthful misadventure in Rhodesia, aged 20-21, and had signed up for a temporary job doing various kinds of casual work. One such, for a few days, was travelling around London delivering booze to various places as the driver’s mate, hauling crates around.
I remember that one destination was Pentonville Prison (for the guards), a cavalry barracks in Hounslow (the Sergeant’s Mess), and a bingo hall in some concrete town in Essex (Basildon? I forget now). Also, to what was either the Conservative Club, or the Naval and Military Club, Southend-on-Sea.
I remember that the Club to which we delivered was on a kind of bluff or clifftop overlooking the sea. There was a greensward between the Club and the clifftop. A tree growing there too (a monkeypuzzle tree? Or is that my memory inventing something?).
The sun was just setting over the sea, and that, together with the Union Jack on a flagpole, rendered the scene somehow elegiac. The Evening Hymn and Last Post might have been fitting.
Looking now at Google Maps and Google Earth, I think that that club was “Naval and Military” rather than “Conservative”. The latter seems to have been in a less pleasant setting in the middle of the town, and to have closed permanently a few years ago, a function of the declining membership of the Conservative Party: https://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/16385600.southend-conservative-club-close-doors-final-time/.
I remember the day mentioned partly because, having launched a crate of Scotch down a wooden chute to the cellar from the street, it had unfortunately slid down far too fast, and right into the gammy leg of the steward, who let out a few oaths that were certainly blue, and possibly naval, though not necessarily Conservative.
Thanks to the incredible resources now available via Google, Google Earth etc, I have just tracked down the place: Naval and Military Club, 20 Royal Terrace, Southend-on-Sea.
[Naval and Military Club, Southend-on-Sea]
Still going, it seems.
I have just been looking at some photos of Southend. Not terribly pleasant-looking overall. In a way surprising that it is a Conservative Party stronghold.
In fact, that seems not as clearcut as the election results for Southend West and other other local constituency (Rochford and Southend East) would suggest. Quite a high level of poverty, and the Southend local council is a non-Conservative minority-coalition administration, with little more than a third of all councillors Conservatives (20 out of 51).
The well-known anti-poverty campaigner and creator of recipes made on a shoestring, “Jack” Monroe, aka “the Bootstrap Cook”, is from Southend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Monroe.
I notice that the local newspaper report on the closure of the Conservative Club in 2018 reported that Southend “is not safe at night“…
…but the death rate will be far higher in the next few years, because the NHS has almost stopped treating people with non-Covid conditions, particularly those whose pathologies are at earlier stages.
Still clapping??
BBC “News”
This morning, watched, for the first time in a while, a whole half-hour of BBC TV news. Of the 30 minutes, about 20 mins was given over to the idiot posing as Prime Minister, and as to whether he broke his own ludicrous “Covid” “rules” or “laws”. Then we had 5 minutes about Ukraine and the possibility of invasion by Russian forces. A strange disproportion, to my mind: 20 mins about the idiot at Downing Street, and his cake and wine, but only 5 mins about the possibility (I would think probability) of (more) war in Ukraine.
The remaining 5 mins was mostly the weather report and forecast, the most accurate part of the whole broadcast.
The bit about Ukraine was mostly devoted to someone called James Nixey, an expert from the Chatham House think tank formerly (and surely better-) called the Royal Institute of International Affairs [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatham_House].
I have little quarrel with what the said Nixey had to say, though it did not tell me anything that I did not already know (but then the news broadcasts are supposedly for the population as a whole).
If true, it is one of the (very few) things “Boris” has done of which I approve wholeheartedly. Why lie about it? I would rather those innocent animals be rescued than many of the Afghans, some of whom hate us or despise us, and none of whom will ever be anything but a nuisance to us (at best). If “Madame Boris” (Carrie Johnson) got him to do it, well, never mind. It is the sort of thing a “first lady” should do— exercise compassionate influence.
Ukraine: Biden warns Putin of personal sanctions if Russia invades – video https://t.co/wAfiUtbN4Y
Personal sanctions may be inconvenient to Putin (and those close to him) but they will not change his intent for a second. What is happening now around Ukraine is not the impetuous policy-on-the-hoof of the part-Jews David Cameron-Levita and Nicholas Sarkozy, when they stupidly decided to help the Libyan rebels in 2012. This is a long-considered and carefully worked-out plan by Putin, the Russian General Staff or Stavka, and the intelligence services, especially the GRU.
Putin and others see the Ukraine situation in the light of the 1100 years of conjoined close connection between Russia and Ukraine more than the 30 years of shambolic Ukrainian independence. They see it as a matter of territorial integrity (of the Slavonic heartlands), and also as a matter of existential national survival; they want a dead stop to NATO installing advanced weapons in Ukraine (and Poland, and the Baltic states).
What now? I myself would expect, as blogged recently, there to be an invasion at least of the Eastern part of Ukraine, and probably Kiev area too. I would expect the Spetsnaz forces of the Stavka, perhaps partly undercover, to create chaos in Kiev and some other key cities and non-urban locations first, before tanks roll in. and before the skies are full of descending parachutes.
I doubt that Russian forces plan to occupy anywhere much west of the Dnieper. Putin would rather install a pro-Russian Ukrainian government in Kiev, which would at least try to control the western part of Ukraine, while allowing the eastern part to exercise (pro-Russian) near-autonomy.
The Biden Administration is ready to go to war with Russia to save Ukraine’s corrupt so-called “democracy” while destroying our own democracy here at home.
US and NATO discussing deployment of more troops to Eastern Europe prior to any Russian invasion of Ukraine? If anything, NATO is going to provoke a preemptive strike by Russia. 😨 😟 😱 Although that might be the idea. This is utter madness. pic.twitter.com/e2LAXQKEU0
Russia gains little or nothing by delay. Every day that passes now makes a potential invasion or “incursion” slightly more difficult for Russian forces.
The Soviet Union always had awesome capabilities for swift mass deployment of forces (eg in Afghanistan), especially by air, and Russia’s newly-upgraded forces still have that, as far as I can see. The main reason that Russia did not simply invade a week or more ago was probably that Putin needed to “condition” the European states and the USA to the idea of Russian incursion, so as to obviate a sudden “Cuban Missile Crisis” situation developing.
Now, Putin can be sure that all that the NATO core states (really just USA and UK) will do is to impose blah-blah “sanctions” on Russia and its leaders. No attempt at direct military parrying. Biden has said as much. As for “Boris”, he is just a spectator, really.
Putin would probably prefer to “win without war”, in the famous phrase of Sun-Tzu, but it seems doubtful that the Kiev government will give him what he wants (though the Kiev leaders do seem to be disenchanted with the USA’s lukewarm support, so there is a slight possibility).
As said previously, I doubt that Russian forces would invade, or need to invade, more than a few miles west of Kiev. Mostly in the eastern part of the country, where there are several million ethnic-Russian civilians living.
Also, Russia will try to work psychologically on the Ukrainian population, mainly in Kiev and east of the Dnieper. Anxiety, maybe panic etc. If unexpected sabotage etc takes place, the countdown has begun.
I would expect the storm to break, if it does, within a week or so of today.
Just heard on GB news that one economic migrant costs £40k per year, when you think how much a state pension per year is worth (when we finally get it ) around £10k that's 4 pensioners for one migrant, no wonder we have to wait until 67yrs for ours.
I read that the USA leadership has put 8,500 troops on standby, for whatever that may mean. If they are sent to Kiev, it will cast down the gauntlet to Putin, and he will have little choice but to pick it up. An American occupation force, even one of 8,500, could not be ignored.
If American and Russian forces engage in direct combat, anything could happen.
Of course, “Boris”-idiot is playing the poodle, but is not taken seriously, except by the Express, Sun, and other pleb-level propaganda “newspapers”. His “warnings” to Putin carry about as much weight as anything else he might say, on any subject.
If this statement alone doesn’t open peoples eyes to the fact that it’s all about compliance and nothing to do with health, nothing will. https://t.co/rqrgArzgPy

When driving through the Belgian part of the Ardennes in 2001 (en route from Turkey to the UK), I stayed in a small hotel-restaurant (just a large house) in a remote area. My wife and I were the only guests and, that evening, the only diners.
Our room was that actually used by Patton during the Battle of the Bulge. It overlooked a lawn and beyond that, trees. The whole area is heavily-forested.
I had no idea when I stopped the car at what was a convenient-seeming place to stay overnight, that it had that historical association. Just fortuitous. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Bulge.
Looking again at that post, what is striking to me is how many tweets quoted therein are from tweeters now “cancelled”, removed from Twitter, usually (and like me) at the behest of the Jew-Zionist cabal on Twitter (the said Jew-Zionists even call themselves “J-Twitter”…).
Deadhead MP Abena Oppong-Asare
I happened to see a few tweets about yet another deadhead MP.
Back in her home country (Ghana), I suppose she would, at most, be running a market stall or something of the kind.
I am moved to write a little about her, despite there being too little information around for me to pen an entire article on her as yet.
This is her, a real “deadhead” MP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abena_Oppong-Asare. Note the all-too-typical characteristics of the breed: a superficially-impressive-sounding degree (Politics with International Relations) and a “Master’s” degree (in International Law with International Relations), but nothing behind it. In fact, these are soft degrees, the sort no-one ever fails.
After university, i.e. about 2005 or 2006, she seems to have worked as…nothing (at least according to Wikipedia). Indeed, her own website makes no mention of anything beyond “speaking up”, and “engaging” with “communities”: https://www.abenaoppongasare.com/about/.
This “speaking up” and “engaging” seems to have included being a councillor in South-East London for 4 years.
Sadly, the golf course shown above (a municipal one) was closed, after 23 years, in 2014, so that…yes… a developer could build more boxes for people, it seems. The developer’s plea that nature would be helped by such development is a classic example of such weaselling: https://www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2020/12/28/peabody-look-to-partly-build-on-former-thamesmead-golf-course/. Still, the devil is always in the detail. I suppose that if an area has (?) been left to rewild, then that would be better for birds and animals than a golf course (but how big an area?).
[Thamesmead South]
[Thamesmead West]
The proportion of black Africans in the area is the highest in the UK (over a third of the population, it seems).
We have seen a certain type of MP elected not infrequently in recent years: Dawn Butler, Fiona Onasanya etc. Is it because the Labour Party wants to appeal to non-white voters? Not entirely; Fiona Onasanya was selected without interview to contest a constituency where only about 2% of the population is black. See https://ianrobertmillard.org/2018/12/21/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-fiona-onasanya-story/.
It seems that Labour (at least under Corbyn and Miliband) was just obsessed by getting blacks in the House of Commons (and the Lords as well).
Under Jewish-lobby puppet Starmer, this has not much changed: Abena Oppong-Asare is now promoted Shadow Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury!
As to Thamesmead, I have never been there, though I recall visiting people in both Erith and Woolwich, nearby suburbs, in the late 1970s and then late 1980s (only one brief visit to each place, though). This is not a part of England that I can claim to know, I am glad to say.
I was just looking on wonderful Google Maps and Google Earth. Thamesmead does not look too bad in places, better than I expected from what I have heard over the years. Quite a lot of greenery, and much of the area does not look too crowded or (on the face of it) squalid, though some bits do look more like the expected concrete jungle. Here and there, one could imagine oneself in the former DDR (East Germany) or even the former Soviet Union.
Google Earth and Google Maps, a harmless but compelling addiction…
Well, there it is. I despise the present “Conservative” government, but Labour offers nothing better. As I have said before, that is the voters’ dilemma at present.
In my usual spirit of fairness, I now repost one of Ms. Oppong-Asare’s recent tweets (though the nature walk notified has by now already taken place):
Fancy stretching your legs this weekend? Why not head down to Thamesmead for a free Wonder Walk tomorrow – hosted by Ornithological Investigator J D Swann.
Final thought: I suppose that, before long, even entirely legitimate comments such as the above will be banned and even criminalized for both “racism” and “misogyny”. Unless Britain wakes up soon, it’s finished except as a dystopian and Zionist-ruled multikulti hellhole.

When the “heretic”, Giordano Bruno, was burned at the stake in the Italy of 1600, monks hammered a wooden plug into his mouth so that he could not “blaspheme” as he died. Their justification for that was, also, because by blaspheming (if he blasphemed) he would be endangering his soul. i.e. it was for his own good! See above for a 21stC version, carried out by the employees of the caring, sharing NHS, and approved by what remains of the “British” Labour Party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_Bruno.
Incidentally, you see various assertions that the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan does not exist. Well, read about it, preferably not from (((infested))) sources, then just look around you. It’s all happening right in front of us, in different ways.
But Russia helped the UK all through WW2 by fighting the Germans on their Northern front and also supplied the UK with Artic convoys.“
[Reader comment, Daily Mail].
Leaving aside the misspelling (“Artic“), the reader seems to be unaware that the Soviet Union and the German Reich were at peace until late June 1941, nearly 22 months after Britain and France declared war on the Reich. That commentator is evidently also unaware that, so far from “Russia” supplying the UK during WW2, Britain and its Empire, as well as the USA, supplied the Soviet Union via the (British) Arctic convoys (the USA also supplied the Soviet Union via Alaska).
Regular readers of my blog will be aware that I have expressed the view that Russia must make its move on Ukraine soon or not at all. The US and, to a much smaller extent, UK, are funnelling arms to the Kiev government.
There is some suggestion that, unusually, the ground is not totally frozen. When it is, Russian armour can move more easily.
The Kiev regime is totally corrupt, and hugely inefficient. Ukraine’s armed forces are not capable of beating those of Russia, having been run down for 30 years. Since about 2005, Russia has been upgrading its armed forces from their 1990s post-Soviet low point.
Look at the map from the Daily Mail:
The Dnieper river splits the country, as can be seen. East of that river, the population is mainly Russian or pro-Russian, especially towards the South and South-East. The same pro-Russian attitude applies in Crimea, which was taken back under direct Russian control several years ago.
The most anti-Russian or Ukrainian-nationalist area of Ukraine is in the western part, centred on Lvov (“Lviv” on the newspaper map).
Were Putin to order the annexation or effective annexation of the Eastern Ukraine, where the population is mainly pro-Russian, it would be accomplished without major difficulty. That would also join the Eastern Ukraine undeniably to Crimea.
The present rumours of an advance on Kiev may or may not be true, but if so would be for the purpose of installing a pro-Russian government de facto. Whether Russia would occupy all or even most of Western Ukraine is, I should imagine, doubtful. It can be seen that Kiev sits between the two main parts of Ukraine. The Russians might take Kiev but then only occupy a belt perhaps 50 miles from the Dnieper.
Kiev has 3 million inhabitants, and is the 7th-most-populous city in all of Europe inc. European Russia and European Turkey (after Istanbul, Moscow, London, St. Petersburg, Berlin, and Madrid).
It was surprising even to me to see that Kiev has considerably more inhabitants than Paris (which is 9th on the list); we should always keep learning.
In fact, Kharkov (“Kharkiv” on that map) is 18th on that list, between Munich (17th) and Milan (19th).
Ukraine has 41 million inhabitants, down from over 50 million in late-Soviet days: “Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine’s population hit a peak of roughly 52 million in 1993. However, due to its death rate exceeding its birth rate, mass emigration, poor living conditions, and low-quality health care,[321][322] the total population decreased by 6.6 million.” [Wikipedia].
The population arithmetic may be questionable, or in dispute, but the basic fact is not: Ukraine has been appallingly-badly run since 1991. Corruption has been unbelievable. Where did the money go? Well, one of the richest individuals in the UK is an expatriate Ukrainian Jew, apparently worth £15 BILLION… and he is only one of many.
If Russia occupies a generally North-South line, somewhere west of Kiev, it can install a pro-Russian government, which can then grant the eastern or south-eastern part of Ukraine autonomy, meaning it will be almost as if part of Russia.
In fact, with Kharkov and Donetsk in Russian hands, together with Kiev and Dnipro [former Dnipropetrovsk], four out of the five largest cities will be controlled by Russia, together with much of the population of Ukraine, including 8M+ Russians. The rump to the west would retain only two really large cities (Odessa and Lvov).
It may be that a pro-Russian regime or government de facto in Kiev would be able to control, after a while, most of Ukraine. Whether a dissident regime could fall back on Lvov and the western areas, and survive, is an open question.
As for the UK, this really is not our battle, but of course the USA and UK governments are controlled by NWO/ZOG. Those cabals and ruling circles are pushing their agenda, an agenda that has nothing at all to do with the interests of the British (or American) people.
If Russia invades Ukraine, but fails to take out Kiev, then Kiev will be a centre of resistance, and will give the present government legitimacy in the eyes of the world. Taken out (Kiev, that is), the present government will be just a bunch of exiles in London or Lvov, without quite the same weight.
Traditionally (except during WW2), UK governments have not recognized governments de jure but only de facto. If a government is in practical power, it is treated as effectively “the” government, and legitimate.
[Update, 24 January 2023: Superficially, it could be said that my above analysis was flawed, in that I predicted a good chance of easy annexation of Eastern Ukraine. As we now know, that did not happen. However, it did not happen not because it could not have happened but because the Russian Army General Staff, as well as the GRU (military intelligence), and indeed much of the Russian Army, proved to be unfit for purpose, “a colossus on legs of straw“…
Having said that, the game is as yet not at an end].

And as for the people who loudly oppose any and every military intervention as "war-mongering" but are choosing to stay silent about a dictator's plans for straight-up territorial conquest… have you no shame?
Mary Dejevsky’s commentary on the Ukraine situation has been unremittingly brilliant. The mainstream narrative portrays Putin as would-be aggressor and the US and Nato as the good guys. As usual, things are not that simple. https://t.co/qKablFtHUH
Slightly misleading, in that not all Russian forces can be concentrated on Ukraine. Still, even if Russia were to deploy only a fifth of its power, the disparity would still be overwhelming.

Any deaths within 2 weeks of vaccination are counted as unvaccinated. Very odd. Why would they do that? https://t.co/H1rsH51oW7
In that year-ago blog post, I saw a few things that now make me laugh all over again, like the very true assertion, contained in a tweet from one of the huge number of Twitter accounts now closed down by the online censors: “Leftism is when you think the best way to stick it to your boss is to ensure he has an unending supply of cheap imported labor..”
Quite. In a nutshell. That Twitter account was American, but it applies just as well here in the UK. Those (eg the “refugees welcome” dimwits) who think that you can have unlimited or almost unlimited mass immigration, yet still have a high-income, high-skilled economy (and also a properly-funded Welfare State), are just completely wrongheaded.
I myself never use “Right”, Left” terminology in any sense which confers legitimacy upon it.
The only extra point to add (and only necessary because there is so much deliberate misinformation around, especially on Twitter) is that many of the migrant-invaders entering the UK will never enter the UK workforce as such, because they not only have no usable skills, meaning skills useful in an advanced economy, but also either speak no English at all, or only at the most basic level (and in many cases never will).
In other words, mass immigration creates a huge drag on the society and economy; you could even call it a millstone around our collective neck.
Of course, the self-describing “Left” have pretty much given up any struggle to create a better society. They have no ideology (beyond vague “anti-racism”, “anti-sexism” etc) which might underpin such a struggle. Socialism in the old sense more or less died in and after 1989, the last significant year of the 1956-1989 ~33-year cycle. What is left is effectively worthless, a farrago of mixed-up nonsense, not only ideologically vague, but practically confused.
The above example about mass immigration is just one example of the confusion. Another is about free speech online. The virtue-signallers of the self-describing “Left” almost all celebrate the removal of social-national Twitter accounts such as mine (rubbed out in 2018 after a conspiracy by a pack of Zionist Jews); the same virtue-signallers celebrate equally the removal of Twitter accounts belonging to so-called “alt-Right” figures such as Katie Hopkins, and those of dissidents such as David Icke.
The “online fora” (Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, ebay etc) are of course all run and actually owned by hugely wealthy companies (and individuals, mostly Jews), but the self-describing “Left” has nothing to say about all that, still less any plan to change the structure; for them, all that matters is that “fascists” (those with whom they disagree) are removed from having any online “platform” (where they might enjoy freedom of expression).
They just do not see that what has happened is that they, and those like them, are now contained in a big gilded cage, where they can squawk endlessly about “racism”, “sexism” etc while having not the slightest real impact on the world.
The same kind of dissonance as over immigration is seen in the attitude of the same people about Palestine, Israel, and the Jewish situation in the world. They (most of them) oppose Israel as a state, and go halfway toward such ideas as “BDS” (economic boycotts of Israel, and avoidance of Israeli products etc), but the majority of them are still brainwashed by the whole “holocaust” farrago, and almost all of them no doubt think that the disastrous and destructive war against the German Reich was A Very Good Thing. Few would see a problem in the fact that exploitative Jewish control of economies, legal systems, political systems permeates what might be called “the Western world”, our world.
Even when they see fraudulent Jewish exploiters such as Philip Green, Robert Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein and others, those self-describing “Left” people see only finance-capitalists…
As Goethe put it in Faust, and from the mouth of Mephistopheles, “the good folk do not see the Devil, even when he sits on their shoulder.” The “Leftists” see only the part of the narrative that fits in with their pre-1989 ideology.
You saw all of the above in the UK Labour Party’s Corbyn and McDonnell double-act: Corbyn with his skeletal “ideology” composed of elements taken, half-baked, from 20thC history, such as the so-called “Battle of Cable Street”, selected and half-understood bits from the Spanish Civil War (“!No Pasaran” etc), anti-Israel support for Palestine, yet at the same time his lip-service to the “holocaust” farrago, and of course “anti-fascism”. As clunky as a Trabant.
Both “sides” of the Labour Party offer nothing to the British people (though neither does this shambolic “Conservative” government, of course).

That YouTube account, though slightly irritating at times, is usually quite interesting. The subtitles are rubbish, but you don’t need to know Russian: mostly English commentary.
As for BAM (Baikal-Amur-Mainline), it was once said, by dissidents, that every Soviet generation had its large and, they claimed, not very useful, engineering project: inter alia, the White Sea Canal, the Turk-Sib railway, the Virgin Lands scheme, and BAM. True, but some of those are at least not useless, and some are also very impressive.

“If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!“
[Kipling, If]

Our public health establishment has no explanation for the historically unprecedented 40% rise in all-cause mortality over the past year, most of which is not due to Covid.
Thread- the knepp castle estate in the United Kingdom and how simple ecology can truly be. The Knepp castle estate is a section of land that once was farmed traditionally, but has since been turned to one of Britain’s most promising rewilding project. (1) pic.twitter.com/8qeD4cQxJ4

Only social nationalism has even a chance of saving anything worthwhile in Britain, but there is no social-national party worthy of the name, let alone any social-national movement.

Austria passes their Enabling Act as the Parliament approves compulsory vaccines.
The measure went through by 137 to 33. It was supported by the political class, except ironically by the "far right."
If the State, controlled secretly by inner ruling circles and cabals, turns against the people, then the people have the inherent right to fight back, using whatever methods are expedient.

A few more thoughts about Ukraine
Any Russian incursion into Eastern Ukraine would have been bloodless, but will now not be, partly because the corrupt Kiev regime will probably try to resist, despite the vast bulk of the Eastern Ukraine population favouring Russia.
The arms and money (and “advisers”) from the UK and —mainly— USA being sent to Ukraine contain the seeds of a wider conflict, because any large-scale resistance by the Kiev government will probably result in retaliation against it by Russian forces. That might include massive attack on Kiev itself. Whether that will result in American direct involvement remains to be seen, though I doubt that the USA has the will to fight Russia directly, on the ground.
Eastern Ukraine was part of the Russo-Slavonic polity for over a thousand years. It was under Muscovite control for hundreds of years. The present corrupt, and basically Jew-dominated, Ukraine, has only been around for 29-30 years as a (failed) state. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Ukraine.
Without interference from outside, Eastern Ukraine would fall under Russian control as willingly as Austria joined with the German Reich in 1938.
As for the USA, does it have the will to put its own safety on the line for the Kiev regime? I doubt it. Biden’s recent statement was a nod and wink to Russia that this will not cause a superpower conflict (if Russia still counts as a superpower…perhaps not, but near enough!).
Yes, the USA probably does have many times the military-destructive power of Russia, but the fact is that Russia could still annihilate most if not all American cities if it so chose, albeit at a like cost. You can only wipe out a city once, no matter how many and how powerful are your nuclear weapons.
As for political leadership, Biden seems to have some form of dementia. If he had to resign, the government of the USA would be, at least nominally, in the hands of part-black, part-Indian, part (small part) Irish, Kamala Harris, but one can assume that the “deep state”, i.e. the secret cabals and ruling circles, would continue to pull the strings. NWO, if you like, and “ZOG”.
Russia looks like it is about to make a big move on the geopolitical chessboard.
Late tweets seen
The liberal #globalelite are moving fast to switch from covid to carbon as their BS excuse for taxing & controlling the swinish multitude. The resistance to lockdowns & coerced vaccination must be ready to switch to fighting their #climatecommunism tyrannyhttps://t.co/eupw1BnLec
Yes, the “panicdemic” has only partly succeeded in corralling the public worldwide, and only partly in the UK as well. Suddenly, “Covid” “restrictions” are going to be stood down, only weeks after the latest scam propaganda over “Omicron”, and how hundreds of thousands would be filling NHS hospitals. All lies.
However, the repressive laws will mostly still be there, ready to be used and indeed repurposed, any time that the “secret state” decides.
Absolutely typical. “They” are very often bullies who, however, when people stand up against them, suddenly present themselves as the whining Jewish “victims”.
Anyway, there it is; she has bitten the hand that fed her for 29 years, and can now pocket £100,000 extra.
