Meanwhile, ever more migrant-invaders are being sheltered, fed, given medical and dental services (etc) and pocket money by the UK state (i.e. British taxpayers).

Meanwhile, billions of pounds are being spent on military aid to Israel, a state which hates, despises, and exploits us; millions more are wasted on “security” for the Jewish “community” in the UK, including tens of millions thrown to the Jewish “Community Security Trust” [“CST”], the strongarm and snoop organization founded by a Jewish exploiter and fraudster.

Meanwhile, billions of pounds each year have been wasted, continue to be wasted, and are now pledged by Starmer to continue into the future, sent to the corrupt, shambolic, and brutal dictatorship of the Jew Zelensky in Kiev.

The whole idea of the UN Security Council is that it consists only of the largest and most significant states which have real military power; states which are large geopolitical players and which, in practice, are also nuclear powers: USA, UK, France, Russia, China. All hold the power of veto.

There are also 10 non-permanent members on a rotating basis: https://main.un.org/securitycouncil/en/content/current-members; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council.

As usual, Starmer tries to play the statesman, rather than the grubby little careerist bureaucrat that he is. He is entirely unconvincing. There he goes, interfering in completely irrelevant and pointless matters overseas, when his own country is close to crisis.

For Starmer, the one-time criminal lawyer, what matters is fiddling around with rules and regulations, rather than trying to achieve concrete socio-political results in the real world.

The entire country, pretty much, has already come to the conclusion that Starmer is in the wrong job.

In any case, how does Starmer intend to “push for” reform of the UN Security Council when all 5 permanent members have a veto, and when, even if that could be overcome somehow, the Security Council would become a dead letter, were the USA to withdraw completely? In fact, in that circumstance, the UN itself would become a dead letter, and might as well just close down.

The military-destructive power of the USA is such that, without American agreement, most Security Council resolutions would be otiose, as would be, a fortiori, any resolutions actively opposed by the USA.

Starmer is a total waste of space.

Interesting. Unexpected.

When he was a journalist, Waugh always seemed to me to be pro the Jewish lobby. I think he even tweeted a few times against me. Maybe he is one of those who thinks you can oppose Israel but at the same time not oppose what amounts to its “fifth column” in the UK.

London. Zoo.

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-appeal-oap-assaulted-hammersmith-bus-station-queue-b1187706.html

Detectives investigating an assault on a pensioner who was shoved over in a row in a west London bus queue have released a picture of a man they want to trace.

The victim, 85, was attempting to board a 220 bus at Hammersmith station when he was verbally abused before being pushed over and suffering a broken hip.

Police believe the incident at 1pm on July 2 was triggered by the pensioner insisting that women and children board the bus first which his attacker believed was holding others up.

The first new Piccadilly line Tube train has been covered in graffiti as it arrived in London.

The train – the first of 94 new trains bought as part of a £2.9bn upgrade of one of the London Underground’s busiest lines – was being transported from the Siemens factory in Vienna when it was targeted.

British Transport Police has launched an investigation and is appealing for witnesses.

The incident is understood to have happened early on Monday morning while the train was near Latchmere rail junction, near Clapham.”

I wonder what kind of untermenschen people would do that…

You cannot build a house out of straw, and you cannot create an advanced society, or even maintain a reasonably-civilized one already in existence, if the population, increasingly, consists of untermenschen. Fact.

and your point is?

Am I stopping you from leaving? You are free to go or stay.

I’m gonna say for the record that every politician, every pastor, every Christian, every single person who supports Israel at this point – especially after yesterday’s horrifying mass firebombing of hospital patients in tents – is truly an evil, wicked person who has abandoned any last shred of humanity.

Israel is now clearly the No. 1 most wicked and evil nation in the world today.

It’s sad that of the political candidates in this race (that I know of), only Dr. Shiva and Jill Stein dare to even oppose Israel. Everybody else who’s in the running remains COMPLICIT in supporting, endorsing or even funding Israel’s ongoing genocide and modern-day holocaust against humanity. That includes Trump, Kamala, RFK Jr., Walz and all of them. Not one of them will criticize Israel’s war crimes. And in this, they FAIL the most important test of leadership: Your humanity.

If you can’t call out such obvious evil and Israel’s reckless, repeated violations of international law, you are not qualified to lead any nation, much less this nation.

I am strongly reconsidering my voting plans from here forward, for I don’t want the stain of evil on my hands for pulling the lever for someone who supports genocide.

Just look at it. Just listen to it.

This is the way many of them think and feel. It is embedded in their whole history.

It is ironic that “they” are often the first to talk about “hate” (emanating from others, according to them), but real hate is ingrained in many of them, ingrained in much of the culture and religion.

As I said on the blog yesterday, should Kamala Harris win that election, the “Deep State” will be driving the American car for the next 4 years; Kamala Harris will be just the nodding dog mascot on the shelf at the back, placed there purely for show.

Zelensky must have been hitting the cocaine again…

This “Labour” misgovernment is an evil tyranny masquerading as a “socially-liberal”, “elected”, and “democratic” government-by-consent.

Liz Kendall is, of course, yet another leading Labour Friends of Israel member.

Not only an “elected” dictatorship (“elected” by 4 voters out of every 20 eligible) but a totally useless one as well.

Broadly correct, though that has only really taken effect, or taken effect fully, since 1989. A new cycle, adding to that 33-year cycle, began in 2022. Look at the Israeli flag being projected in lights onto 10 Downing Street, the skyscrapers of New York City, the Brandenburger Tor in Berlin, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris (etc).

These things are all connected. The 2020-2022 “Covid” “panicdemic” or “scamdemic” as well.

Alarming. More than alarming, in fact. Dystopia is about to come roaring out of the tunnel at us.

Yes, that is one extraordinary aspect of the whole mess. The Kiev regime is presently conscripting only those aged 27+ (in theory, younger men —and women— can volunteer, though few now do). The result is that the Kiev-regime forces are full of the middle-aged, while those approaching the age of 27 desperately try to flee the country, or hide inside Ukraine, or buy fake exemption papers, or bribe doctors etc.

I can only assume that the Zelensky cabal has decided that the under-27s have to be exempted on the grounds that the Ukrainians are actually dying out, and more babies have to be born. Demographically, Ukraine has no future, even when compared to Russia, or to the countries of Central and Western Europe.

Having said that, it seems that younger men are being press-ganged, illegally. Zelensky’s “Ukraine” is both brutal and shambolic.

All requests made by Vladimir Zelensky during his visit to Europe were rejected , said British expert Alexander Mercuris.”

Zelensky returned from a very unsuccessful trip to Europe. Biden canceled the meeting in Ramstein, there are more and more media reports that the meeting will not happen at all.

In any case, all doors are slammed in his face. Western allies did not give him the green light light to use long-range missiles to strike deep into Russia, and he also failed to ensure Ukraine’s accelerated path to NATO ,” he added.

Strategically, Russia cannot lose and will not lose.

I remember visiting the UN Centre in Vienna sometime in the mid-1980s; cannot recall exact year now. I knew someone who was doing some temporary work there. I spent a couple of hours in the Centre. Various impressions, but my overall impression (of what — admittedly little— I saw) was that the place was a huge waste of space (and money). What is it for?

There is a daily tour for visitors but I did not experience it (because I was not a “tourist” visitor officially, though really I was).

[UN Centre, Vienna]

“They” have control of the strategic or key areas of public life in the USA— the politicians, the mass media (especially TV), the film industry, the legal milieu (in the states that matter most: California, New York etc), publishing.

Ha ha. Rather vulgar, but it made me laugh!

I believe I read somewhere, years ago, that Israelis are often cruel to donkeys, which are such gentle animals, so ready to be friendly with humans. It is true that donkeys are over-worked and abused in other countries too, including Arab countries, Pakistan etc.

The Jew settlers in Israel/Palestine (often from the USA) are horrible, though, fully displaying the malice for which “they” have always been well-known.

I would have said “unbelievable”, but in the pathetic, washed-up UK of 2023 and 2024, all too believable, unfortunately.

Hard to believe, but there it is: “normal” life, or a semblance of it, despite the fact that that area, 2-3 miles north of Gaza City, has been attacked heavily from the air for two months, and despite the fact that heavy ground fighting has occurred recently at Beit Hanoun, only a mile or so away.

So Vallance has morphed from being a “Covid” scaremaster and “vaccine” cheerleader to being a “climate change”/”net zero” propagandist. That fits, as one would expect. I wonder what he thinks about “Black Lives Matter”, Ukraine etc.

…or as Wellington put it, saying that someone born in a stable must be a horse.

At least they have not yet learned from the Jews the conceit that they are somehow essential to European culture and civilization.

Yes, wake up, English “conservative nationalists”! The Indians are not your allies, any more than are the Pakistanis; incidentally, neither are the Jews and/or Israel. Don’t be fooled.

So speaketh the “Levelling Up Secretary” and, prior to that (incredibly), Chief Secretary to the Treasury.

When you look at the pack of cretins now running this unbelievable bad joke of a government, you realize anew how truly unfit for purpose our political system has become.

Sparks a few memories.

The UN Centre in Vienna (actually on the edge of the city) is an odd place; at least that was my impression when I saw it in the mid-1980s. A concrete fortress or “island” (not literally, though actually on a large island in the Danube), set in quite a green area between the old Vienna and a newer section.

I used to swim, almost every day during my visit, at the not-far-away Alte Donau Strandbad, a closed-off section of the Danube that is either an “oxbow lake” or an artificial version of one. Superb place. Clean river water, a green park, properly-run facilities for changing etc and, best of all, few people. I was there on weekdays, when even in high summer the bulk of the hardworking population were at their jobs.

You cannot just wander into that UN Centre. Even in those days you had to have a pass issued by the security kiosk there. I did not have to get a tourist pass because someone I knew who worked there got me a different kind of visitor pass. The difference was that tourists get a guided tour, whereas I was fairly free to wander around.

A large collection of buildings.

I remember trying to get a sense of what is quite a confusing set-up. I remember seeing a noticeboard with ads for various kinds of local staff. The rates of pay, as far as I could see, were far better than the same people would get in Vienna itself, and were of course not taxable (UN employees do not pay national income tax but only a kind of UN tax, which is far lower).

Another thing that struck me was the Commissary, which no doubt had its origins in the immediately postwar 1940s days when almost everything was unobtainable, but what is odd about that is that the UN Centre in Vienna was established only in 1980, a mere few years before I visited! So a mystery. Maybe there was an earlier, smaller mission.

That Commissary, about the size of a medium-level convenience store, sold duty-free food and drink (including booze) to anyone who was a UN employee or, I think, accredited diplomat. A strange “boondoggle”, in the American phrase. I noticed (I think on a Friday), a couple of (from their stature and looks) East African women, buying Scotch.

Comparison

The Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation is Sergei Lavrov.

[S.V. Lavrov]

Lavrov, half-Russian, half-Armenian, is a graduate of the prestigious MGIMO or Moscow State Institute of International Relations [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_State_Institute_of_International_Relations].

Lavrov worked as a diplomat in Sri Lanka and the USA before being appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs in 2004. He has been in post for 18 years.

Lavrov speaks 5 languages: Russian, English, French, Dvihehi, and Sinhala (the latter two being the languages of the Maldives and Sri Lanka).

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Lavrov.

Now let us examine his present opposite number in the UK, James Cleverly, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs.

[James Cleverly]

Cleverly, a “half-caste” (in the old term), with a British father and a mother from Sierra Leone, seems to have wanted an Army career.

According to Wikipedia, Cleverly “trained in the Army“, whatever that may mean (no detail of whether he was training to be an officer or as an enlisted soldier, presumably the latter, nor of where he trained, nor in what regiment or corps), but suffered a leg injury in 1989 and had to drop out. He would have been 19 or 20 at that time.

Cleverly then obtained a degree of sorts in “Hospitality Management” from the then Polytechnic of West London [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_West_London].

Cleverly was involved, not terribly successfully (one can surmise) in business and executive activities during the years up to about 2008, but by then was involved in two side-activities which proved more fruitful for him— politics, and the then Territorial Army (now, Reserves).

Cleverly’s leg injury had obviously been resolved by the time he was commissioned in the TA as 2nd lieutenant in 1991. He stuck at that for the following 14 years, reaching the rank of Lt. Col by 2015.

In politics, Cleverly was a London Assembly member for 8 years from 2007. Cleverly then benefited from the scandal around the ineffectual Jew sex pest and pervert Brooks Newmark, who had to stand down as MP for Braintree (Essex). Cleverly replaced Newmark.

Cleverly’s time as MP has not been distinguished, but the upheavals within the Conservative Party led to him being appointed as a Minister of State in 2020 and now, under Liz Truss, as Secretary of State. His appointment dates from 6 September 2022, about two weeks ago.

Cleverly speaks no language other than English.

Well, there it is. Sergei Lavrov’s background, languages, and 18 years of experience (and many successes) in post, as against James Cleverly’s background, lack of success (other than in narrow career terms), two years of arguably relevant experience, and time in post as Secretary of State five minutes (putting it flippantly).

It will be recalled that when (also absurdly) Liz Truss was Foreign Secretary, Lavrov easily made a fool of her, inducing her to say that quite well-known cities in Russia should be given “back” to Ukraine (the stupid woman had no idea that they never had been part of Ukraine; one was not far from Moscow).

Liz Truss was an embarrassment as Foreign Secretary; she is just ludicrous as Prime Minister. Now someone even less educated is Foreign Secretary. This country is screwed.

Sergei Lavrov will win no plaudits for his kindly good nature, but on whom would you bet your money?

While it may seem cruel to mock someone who, quite obviously, is not always compos mentis, that person, Biden, heads the most powerful country on Earth, with enough nuclear weaponry to send us all permanently into orbit. It is all very well to say that he is not really in charge, but that simply raises the question, “who is?” or “what cabal is?“, and what is the real agenda?
