I happened to see the blog post from 1 October 2023. Much water under the bridge since then, but I think that the post has held up pretty well:

Talking point

They use the language of social class but the real agenda seems to be to deprive children of even occasional contact with life-giving white Northern and general European culture. Evil plans from evil people. What should be done with those evil people?

That strikes me as a misunderstanding of the realities of “debt” in this context (that of “fiat money”).

[Gaza in 2024]

Look at the destruction the Israeli Army and air force has wrought in only 14-15 months; including the deaths of about 150,000, the majority women and children, including many of under 5 years of age.

Fanatical Jews, including Jewish lawyers in the UK masquerading as “human rights” barristers, say that what has been done is not really “genocide” but justified military action. Their Talmudic argumentativeness convinces few (not even many Jews). Look at the facts (and the photos) rather than legalistic labels twisted by Jew-Zionist lawyers for tribal purposes.

The “small boats” migration invasion is only 5%, if that, of the whole. Maybe only 2% or so. There are, in rough figures, a million or more invaders coming in every year, mostly “legally”.

Then there are the huge numbers being born to foreign mothers or fathers in the UK, some of the parents themselves having been born in the UK. The future looks dark, the future looks orange black and brown.

As predicted, and as previously seen in Libya, Iraq etc. A dictatorial regime fallen, but replaced by tribal chaos.

After what the Israeli Jews, and their many Jewish supporters in the West, have been doing and/or supporting, no-one wants to listen any more to their nearly 100-year-old whining about Adolf Hitler, Germany, the NSDAP, the SS, or the endless “holocaust” stories, many of which are untrue anyway.

I would love for something bad to happen to that bastard.

Incidentally, the more I think about his (2020) “near-death” from (supposedly) the “Covid” virus, the Iess I believe it, and the more I think that it was probably an “am-dram” performance, designed to frighten the public; amateur theatricals, similar to his caricature aping of Churchill’s mannerisms, speech, gait etc.

Three days’ worth?! Is that what counts as a “stockpile” in Denmark? Risible. Hardly worth doing. Three months, maybe. Or three years.

Zelensky’s goons “recruit” more frontline soldiers, who will die or be medivaced within a few days or a few weeks of arrival.

Look at the “recruits”. 40? 45? 50? One looks unfit, too. Will they be of any use on the front-line?

New research suggests that the majority of the world’s modern Jewish population is descended mainly from people from ancient Turkey, rather than predominantly from elsewhere in the Middle East.

The new research suggests that most of the Jewish population of northern and eastern Europe – normally known as Ashkenazic Jews – are the descendants of Greeks, Iranians and others who colonized what is now northern Turkey more than 2000 years ago and were then converted to Judaism, probably in the first few centuries AD by Jews from Persia. At that stage, the Persian Empire was home to the world’s largest Jewish communities.

According to research carried out by the geneticist, Dr Eran Elhaik of the University of Sheffield, over 90 per cent of Ashkenazic ancestors come from that converted partially Greek-originating ancient community in north-east Turkey.”

[The Independent]

Explodes the very notion that modern-day Jews have any right at all to the lands of Palestine by reason of ancient occupation. They’re fakes.

https://twitter.com/NextWaveAmerica/status/1847391333004300484

but if Ian Leslie [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Leslie_(writer)] is so very clever, how is it that he and —apparently— John Rentoul think that Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper etc are “basically decent“?

Members of Labour Friends of Israel, expenses cheats and freeloaders, buy-to-let parasites, and general moneygrubbers, who want to institute a police state of a dystopian kind (prison time for free speech; encouragement of mass immigration and migration-invasion; enforced weight-loss injections as a condition for getting unemployment or disability benefits; euthanasia; abortion; and much much more).

Sounds hopeful. I’ll take 10,000. (only…sort-of…joking).

They don’t like it when it happens to them...

God save any civilians, women, children, and animals, under such a brutal bombardment.

Cuba will eventually just crumble to dust under the present system.

Anyone who uses Lewis as a solicitor can expect double-dealing, incompetence, negligence, and dishonesty.

Mark Lewis is a man of straw. When the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal fined and reprimanded him in 2018 (after which he scuttled to Israel, though he keeps returning here to make money, despite the “antisemitism” by which he claims to have been targeted), the Tribunal lowered the level of his fine because, as his own Counsel said to the Tribunal panel, Lewis owned only his own clothes, a £70 a week private pension, and a mobility scooter! Even his car was not his own, but provided to Lewis by the “antisemitic” British taxpayers via the DWP-funded Motability scheme [https://www.motability.co.uk/].

I wonder whether they will still be laughing when it happens to the homes of their own families?

[SS-men escort non-combatant Jews out of the Warsaw Ghetto during the Ghetto Uprising of 1943; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising]

As a former barrister (unlawfully and wrongfully disbarred in 2016 at the instigation of the Jewish lobby), I can see that what is happening is that many people involved (often only peripherally or online) with the protests and so-called “riots” of 2-3 months ago are now sentenced to terms of imprisonment (often years rather than months) for having done not very much; in some cases, almost nothing.

I am presuming that most of those sentenced will have had the benefit of legal advice from solicitors and Counsel.

The problem lies in the narrow legal view taken by many lawyers. I suspect that many of the lawyers involved looked at the political climate (eg the intervention on TV by “Tel Aviv Keith” Starmer in July or August), looked at the evidence, and then advised their clients to plead Guilty in order to mitigate the sentence.

All good advice, or would be in a “normal”, non-political, case.

The fact is that most of the sentences being given are absurdly harsh, even taking the charges at face value.

In my opinion, the defendants in most of the recent protest cases, at least the ones about which I have read, would have been no worse off, probably better off, had they pleaded Not Guilty.

I concede that one cannot these days rely on the good sense of the traditional British jury, because the brainwashing of the public continues apace, but still I believe that a jury trial would have given many of those charged a good chance of acquittal.

A gamble, true, to plead Not Guilty, but in these “political” cases not so much, because the “message” from on high seems to have come down, “lock them up“… I do not really believe that many of those defendants have been given a real diminution of sentence of a (or the, notional) third.

My own free speech trial in November 2023 (sentence, March 2024) was different, not having been connected to any violent or noisy protests, but it was still a “political” case (instigated by the malicious Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby).

I republish the details here below but, in short, I pleaded Not Guilty to all 5 similar charges, was found guilty (by a District Judge sitting alone) on all 5 counts, and was sentenced to a financial impost amounting to £734, and to a period of, in effect, probation, involving 15 “rehabilitation days”. In the event, the financial penalty was one-third crowdfunded for me (the rest paid off over the past 6 months in instalments), and the “15 days” turned out to be about half a dozen meetings lasting from 20 minutes to a couple of hours.

All now water under the bridge, and the blog continues to be published daily, but would I really have got a lighter sentence had I pleaded Guilty? Frankly, I doubt it. For one thing, the malicious nature of the whole prosecution would not have been laid bare before the Court.

Anyway, there it is…

Odds-on that the 13-y-o victim was white.

Incidentally, the misleading Daily Mail report talks about “34 and a half years” whereas, in fact, the heaviest sentence was one of 12.5 years, meaning that the untermensch will be released in about 6 years.

Rhetorical question: do we need such untermenschen in our society? Of course not.

Imagine what this poor country will be like in 2034, 2044, 2054. If you encounter another actual English person, you will have to greet him by saying “hello, Robinson Crusoe!“…

“Traveller” pest

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13940739/Travellers-illegal-camp-woodland-smell-noise-hell.html

“Travellers who illegally set up camp next to family homes have finally been given the boot – but only after distressed neighbours endured years of ‘misery’, ‘noise’ and ‘stench’ at their hands.

Shocking aerial photos show the state the land has been left in following an expensive legal battle by the council to win back the plot which lies in the picturesque Kent village of Vigo, near Gravesend.

[Daily Mail]

The so-called “traveller” menace is one of the biggest law and order problems in the UK, but the police and politicians are unwilling to do what it takes to “solve” that problem.

Can you imagine this chaos and official weakness happening during the 12 years of the German Reich of 1933-1945? I think not.

As with so many aspects of life in contemporary Britain, the people suffer while evildoers prosper.

A serial thief who targeted restaurant customers in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire has been caught on CCTV swiping a mobile phone from an unassuming victim.

Nirex Stanescu, 24, was jailed for eight months after pleading guilty to nine counts of mobile phone theft at Reading Crown Court on Friday, September 27.”

[Reading Chronicle]

A few points to note: firstly, that the Reading Chronicle does not identify the defendant as a Roma Gypsy (other than by publishing a photo). The newspaper does not even take the usual msm-weasel approach of calling her “Romanian”, which is so often seen but rarely strictly correct (the Roma gypsies are, ethnically, not Romanians, as such, even when they hold Romanian passports and/or live in Romania).

Secondly, the woman in question is obviously a persistent nuisance, yet is sentenced to only 8 months (for a total of 9 offences), meaning that she will do 40% of c.32 weeks, about 12 weeks.

Thirdly, why is she even (allowed) here? Get rid of her, and all the others like her, and stop similar trash from entering the country.

Reform UK is still “controlled opposition”. Goodwin himself is welcome on TV etc, and is pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby. All the same, Reform UK is helping to break down the existing structure.

“They” are behind much of the migration-invasion.

The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan. [“They” have vandalized the Wikipedia entry, but it still gives the overall picture].

When I was (wrongfully) put on trial in 2023, Prosecution Counsel made a pathetic suggestion that the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan was a (mere) “conspiracy theory“. I answered quite firmly that it certainly was not, and that all he had to do was to open his eyes to what was happening all around him. He did not attempt to take the matter further.

For those unaware that I was subjected to a free speech trial last year, please see:

Israel’s “Warsaw Ghetto”, but the (Israeli) Jews often treat the Gazans far worse than the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto were treated.

…and “those” (((those))) in the UK, France etc who support what the Israeli forces are doing are not only supporters but also propagandists, facilitators, agents, and fundraisers for the Israeli state and its war crimes.

What goes around comes around…

Reports that Halevi, the Israeli Chief of Staff, has been killed are at time of writing unconfirmed.

News reports are also suggesting that weapons due to be used against Iran “by Israel” will in fact be operated by American serving soldiers or Air Force personnel. If so, that constitutes a direct act of war by the USA against Iran.

That will be, increasingly, the fate of British people (and European people generally) unless and until we take back control.

In Ireland, but there are undoubtedly similar crimes being committed in the UK.

ps. I could suggest a couple of extra policies to add to that list.

…and illegal migration invasion is only 10% or even only 5% of all immigration into the UK. A looming catastrophe for us.

For those with eyes to see, Starmer hits all the buttons: Israel lobby, Jewish lobby, Bilderberg Group, freemasonry, WEF/Davos, you name it.

Starmer is basically just a traitor to the people of this country, and unfit to be Prime Minister.

Fanatical Jew-Zionist extremist (ex-Daily Mail, now editor of the Jewish Chronicle) seems to believe that Britain should “defend” Israel! The sheer gall of “them”! Why should the UK “defend” Israel? This country would be better off were Israel to disappear into history.

The Daily Telegraph is just another mouthpiece or megaphone for Jewish Zionism.

The Palestine-resident (and other) Jews were committing acts of terrorism against British soldiers and civilians even when the Second World War was still ongoing, and later continued and intensified their terroristic activities, kidnapping and hanging British soldiers, blowing up the British HQ in Jerusalem, and attempting to poison the water supply in London, among other acts of terrorism and barbarity.

During the Falklands campaign of 1982, the Israeli state sold French Exocet missiles to Argentina, missiles which killed British soldiers and sailors.

Newly declassified files from the National Archives in Kew reveal that Israel supplied significant weaponry including strike aircraft to the Argentine Junta in the run-up to, and during, the 1982 conflict.”

[Falkland Islands Association]

Israel, both directly and via Jews with nominal British citizenship, and living in the UK, has suborned the two main System political parties of the UK, promoting Jewish and Israeli interests above those of real English/British people.

The above is no more than the tip of the iceberg.

In short, Israel is not an ally of the UK but its enemy, an enemy all the more dangerous for having a “fifth column” inside UK society.

While I do not accept or agree with everything tweeted by David Morgan, his account is still one of the most worthy on political/social Twitter/X, and worth following by those with a Twitter/X account (I myself was expelled in 2018 after a long concerted campaign by a pack of malicious Jews, and I am disinclined to revive my Twitter/X account).

David Irving

For those who have not seen it, a 2-hour reminiscence by acclaimed historian David Irving:

Irving’s reminiscences are very interesting, not least on the scientific evidence establishing that the “gas chambers” of Auschwitz never were that; also about the selling to the world audience of the word “holocaust” as relating to the repression of Jewry in the years 1942-1944 (the word was rarely or never used in that connection until the early 1970s). Also, about how the supposed “gas chamber” at Auschwitz, visited with fake reverence by millions of (mostly American and Western European) tourists, was only built in 1948, 3 years after WW2 ended, and about how it is, in Irving’s words, “as genuine as the castle at Disneyland“… (there was belatedly placed a plaque on that Auschwitz building, stating that it is indeed a postwar “reconstruction”).

Useless would-be dictator Yvette Cooper continues to drone on about “smashing the gangs” when the problem is not “the gangs”, as such, but the migration invasion itself, i.e. the migrant-invaders themselves. They are the ones who must be deterred or eliminated.

Yvette Cooper is a member of Labour Friends of Israel and has always favoured importing as many non-whites as possible.

That applies also to political leadership at all levels.

Salus populi suprema lex esto

[Cicero: “the welfare of the people is the supreme law“].

Interesting that the Israeli Jews hit the mosque first, or rather than anything else.

What the (Israeli) Jews are doing in Gaza is far more harsh than what happened in the Warsaw Ghetto in the early 1940s. The (Israeli) Jews are going to cut off all food and even water to Northern Gaza.

However, according to Jewish “human rights” lawyers in the UK, what is happening in Gaza is “not a genocide“…

The USA and the West generally are rowing back now on support for the Kiev regime. They are still funnelling money and arms to Zelensky’s cabal, but the aim is now not even to expel Russian forces from Eastern Ukraine and Crimea; the most that might be realistic is for the war to stop —or not stop— but on the present front-lines.

There never was, of course, any possibility that the shambolic Kiev-regime forces might seize and retain large areas of Russia, let alone advance on Moscow. That’s for the birds.

Russian forces are poised to advance, either in the winter, or next year, in the summer of 2025. In the meantime, the electrical supply infrastructure, and the transport infrastructure, of Ukraine will be further degraded. The whole of Eastern Ukraine might finally fall to Russia before very long.

The NWO/ZOG states of the West want to keep “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) fighting, but without any hope of military victory.

Few, if any, seem to be getting past the Israeli anti-rocket defences, but the aim may be to deplete the number of anti-missile missiles the Israelis have. I have no idea whether the Israelis have almost unlimited defensive rockets or not.

I remember that song. 1967; I was a 10-y-o child living in Mosman, a North Shore suburb of Sydney. Different times (look at the comments appended to that YouTube video).

From the mass media

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68305050

Major French magazine L’Express has revealed that its prominent former editor, Philippe Grumbach, was a KGB spy for 35 years.

He counted presidents, actors and literary giants as close friends. He was a legendary figure in journalism who shaped the editorial direction of one of France’s most successful publications. When he died in 2003, Minister of Culture Jean-Jacques Aillagon said Grumbach had been “one of the most memorable and respected figures in French media”.

But he was also “Brok”, the KGB spy.

Extensive proof of Grumbach’s duplicitous life can be found in the so-called Mitrokhin archive.

Born in Paris in 1924 into a Jewish family, Grumbach fled France with his mother and siblings in 1940 – the year Nazi Germany invaded and Marshal Philippe Pétain took power in Vichy with a collaborationist regime.

[BBC]

The Wellingborough and Kingswood by-elections

At Wellingborough, a convincing win for Labour. I thought that it might go closer than it did. Labour 45.9%, Conservatives 24.6%, Reform UK 13%. All 8 other candidates lost their deposits; the LibDems came closest with 4.7%. A local Independent, Marion Turner-Hawes, scored 3.7% and probably would have beaten the LibDems had she been the only Independent standing. The Greens, as usual, were nowhere (6th) on 3.4%, and Britain First was even more “nowhere” on 1.6%.

The Conservatives were let down partly by the choice of candidate, the girlfriend of unpleasant former MP, Peter Bone. Having said that, the main reason for the electoral upset was that people want a change, even if it is really not much of a change, or the wrong change. They wanted, also, to stamp on the Conservative Party.

The Conservative candidate tried to make “stopping the boats“, i.e. the continuing cross-Channel migration-invasion, the issue. Of course, the fact is that the cross-Channel invasion is only a tenth, if that, of the main invasion— the enormous influx of “students”, “family-members”, “highly-skilled workers” (Indians that can work a computer) as well as supposed “asylum-seekers” etc.

Also, the “Conservative” governments of 2010-2024 have not even seriously tried to “stop the boats”, let alone the main migration-invasion. Not far short of a million a year now.

Talk is cheap…

Empty words at best, lying words at worst (collusion with the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan).

A better candidate, and one not tied up with Peter Bone, might have scored higher, maybe well over 30%, and so lost less embarrassingly.

A real social-national party, if one existed, might have won. Turnout was only 38%; a huge 62% of those eligible to vote did not bother, or showed their contempt for the whole system via abstention.

No need to “analyze” the Britain First vote— pathetic. As for Reform UK, it is going to have to do a lot better than that if it is going to start winning seats. Another pro-Israel scam-party by Nigel Farage.

Overall, the result is another nail in the coffin of the Rishi Sunak government, and the Conservative Party (and Sunak himself, of course).

I should be ready to bet that, if voters aged 65+ (many of whom would have voted early by post) were taken away, the remaining Con Party vote would have been no more than 10%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellingborough_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s

Kingswood, north of Bristol and in effect an outer suburb of Bristol, also returned a Labour MP yesterday. Pointlessly, of course, because not only will there be a general election this year but, also, the constituency is being abolished.

The result was Labour 44.9%, Conservatives 34.9%, Reform UK 10.4%, Green 5.8%, LibDems 3.5%, UKIP 0.5%.

Turnout was 37.1%, even lower than at Wellingborough. Almost two-thirds of those eligible could not be bothered to vote, and/or despise the whole circus.

The Labour candidate had the advantage of being of local origin, more or less, combined with not being a Conservative. His unusual personal life (gay, and having converted from Roman Catholicism to Judaism to fit in with his Jewish “civil partner”) seems to have been disregarded by the voters (meaning the 11,176 who voted for him, out of about 80,000; the other ~68,000 were eligible to vote but either did not vote or voted for other candidates).

The Conservative Party candidate came closer than I had expected. His own local origins can probably be thanked for that. The Farage vehicle, Reform UK, came third, but again seems to be —time after time— the “also ran” party…

The Greens saved their deposit and beat the LibDems into 5th place. The rump of UKIP came last, and one has to wonder why candidates for no-hope parties like that even bother.

Yet another nail in Sunak’s political coffin, of course.

Taking away the local aspects of both by-elections, for me the “takeaways” are that this “Conservative” government is toast, that Sunak is toast, and that the Conservative Party is toast. Also, that the LibDems are seen as dull and, except where they have a good tactical chance against a Conservative candidate, unappealing to voters.

More? Well, that Reform UK is not exciting enough people, not yet anyway, to start being a major player. Also, that the Greens only appeal to around 5% of the electorate, if that.

Finally, for me the point is that, in both of these by-elections, only just over a third of people even bothered to vote; without postal voting, that 37%/38% would probably have been nearer to 20%. The voters most interesting to me are those not presently energized to vote.

What do these results say about GE 2024? That Labour must be en route to victory, though a victory not welcomed by all, or even a majority, of the voters. A feeling of dull meaninglessness, perhaps. A hollow victory?

For the Conservative Party, these results must mean that the bulk of their MPs are on the way out. 50 may survive, maybe 100.

A few days ago. I missed that story.

The time may come when Israel faces thousands of such drones.

I agree with the first bit, but only partly with the second. Many 2019 Con Party voters seem to be switching, in despair, to Reform UK, but that would be only a small minority of the overall electorate. Look at the turnout figures from yesterday. Only a third (just over) of eligible voters even voted. Reform UK, with its limited “conservative nationalism” “cosplay”, its pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby attitude, and its semi-“libertarian” economics, will never inspire even a half of the voters. Maybe 10%, maybe 20%. I doubt that it will go higher.

The fact is that, even at Kingswood, where the result scarcely mattered in itself (a general election this year, and the seat then ceasing to exist), Reform UK only gathered in 13% of the votes, i.e. about 5% of all possible votes. The Wellingborough result was similar: 9.4% of votes cast, i.e. about 3% of all possible votes.

Only a fully-credible social-national party might be able to energise and inspire the British people. That party does not exist.

Today, the Tories are only holding half the people who voted for them at the last general election, in 2019, and only a little more than one in three of the people who voted for Brexit, in 2016. These are supposed to be the party’s core supporters. But many of them are now abandoning Sunak in droves, running for the hills.

And do you blame them? Seriously? Given some of the other events this week it’s not hard to see why. For a start, Sunak’s failure to control Britain’s borders was reflected in the remarkable finding that just 1.3% of the illegal migrants who entered Britain on the small boats since 2018 have been removed from the country.

And then came the latest data on the dire state of the economy, which confirms Britain is in recession and suffering the longest hit to living standards since records began, in 1955. Contrary to Sunak’s pledge to deliver economic growth, this week we learned that throughout his first year in office Britain’s economy grew by just 0.1%, while GDP per capita —which adjusts for population growth — fell by 0.7%.

This, too, will prompt many voters to ask Sunak some tough questions. Where is the growth you promised? Where is the strong economy? And where is the growth the Treasury, the Office for Budget Responsibility, and countless other experts told us would surely arrive if Britain opened its doors to unprecedented immigration?

The answer is it’s nowhere to be seen, partly because rather than deliver the high-skill, high-wage, highly-selective, and highly productive immigration the Tories have been promising since Brexit they’ve instead delivered low-skill, low-wage, non-selective, and unproductive immigration from outside Europe, which has been shown to be a net fiscal cost rather than a net benefit to Western economies.

...more and more [voters] are turning off and tuning out. Just look at the rates of turnout at the latest by-elections. Labour and Keir Starmer are not setting Britain on fire, far from it; the Tories are staying home.

These voters aren’t idiots. They know they’ve been led down the garden path by a Conservative government and a Conservative prime minister which have routinely overpromised and underdelivered.

These voters want decent economic growth and an economic model which prioritises British people. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories have given them more of the same.

These voters want much lower and manageable rates of immigration. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories keep putting mass migration on steroids. And these voters want strong and secure borders and a government which prioritises the security of the British people. But Rishi Sunak and the Tories have lost control of our borders, largely because they refuse to reform laws and leave conventions which make it impossible to remove illegal migrants and foreign nationals who commit crime, as we saw with the shocking case of Abdul Ezedi.

[Matt Goodwin, on his Substack blog]

In any case, the UK needs no immigration at all. It needs to educate and train real British people to a far higher level, and then provide suitable employment for them. British people, real British people.

Suitable employment, appropriate and decent pay; decent housing; decent transport; decent medical care; decent social care; also, decent architecture and town planning.

Defying the Kremlin can be dangerous. The story that Navalny “felt unwell after he went for a walk” is obviously unlikely.

The daytime temperature in that region today is about -20C. Cold weather for a stroll, even for a Russian.

As to Navalny himself, I knew nothing of him beyond what was occasionally on TV news or in the newspapers. I was unable to understand why he returned to Russia after he had recovered from having been poisoned in Russia and flown to Germany for treatment.

My conclusion (beyond the apparent fact that Navalny was a braver man than me— and a more foolish one, arguably) is that he had a huge amount of egotism. He probably wildly over-estimated his popularity in Russia (in fact only about 5% supported him), and may have thought that arriving in Moscow on a private jet with a horde of Western reporters on board would probably protect him, especially as thousands of his supporters (mostly Moscow-based) would be awaiting his arrival at Vnukovo (one of the four main airports in the Moscow region: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vnukovo_International_Airport).

The plane was diverted to Sheremetyevo Airport. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheremetyevo_International_Airport, thus bypassing the expected mass welcome.

I may be wrong, but I think that Navalny may have thought that his return to Russia would be akin to that of Lenin in 1917. However, Lenin was never in any danger of arrest and detention in 1917, and had not only supporters but an armed guard force at his historic speech at the Finlandsky Station in Petrograd. Also, the Tsarist Government had already effectively fallen. There was no-one to arrest him.

Navalny has, by reason of his imprisonment and probable murder, achieved the status of martyr, but had he ever become leader of Russia, might have been as harsh, and probably less effective, than Putin.

I am old enough to remember how the usually-wrong Western msm thought, in the 1980s, that Andropov would be “liberal” (mainly because he was said to like jazz). The same or similar was said in the late 1970s of the African tyrant Robert Mugabe (“well-educated” by Jesuits, and a “democrat” by African standards. So they said…). Indeed, look at how the globalist msm lauded thick-as-two-short-planks Nelson Mandela…

Well, there it is.

One interesting aspect to the news coverage in the UK today is that it has been so extensive. In a way, surprising, when Navalny had no real support base in Russia, and never had a real chance of deposing Putin.

Were I more of a conspiracy theorist than people think I am, I should suspect that the UK TV people are using the Navalny matter to talk less about yesterday’s by-election results.

Also, the Kiev-regime forces are crumbling on the Ukrainian front-line.

Many, even perhaps I myself, might think that a retaliatory strike by Israel on Gaza, immediately after the October 2023 incursion, meaning in the following few days, would probably fall into the “self-defence” and “proportionate” area (leaving aside the behaviour of the Israeli Jews since 1948), but what has happened since then is a cruel slaughter and devastation worse than the much-criticized Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto by German forces in 1943. The Germans did evacuate most of the non-combatant Jews before killing or capturing the rest (saboteurs, terrorists, and rebels) and then levelling the area.

According to my use of Electoral Calculus, that would still leave the Con Party with 117 MPs. Maybe. One or two points can make a big difference. For example, if the Con/Lab numbers were 23% and 45% respectively, the Cons would have only 97 MPs.

Also, these polls always over-estimate the Green vote. When and where (except at Brighton Pavilion) did the Greens get anywhere close to 8%? 5% is more usual; or lower.

As to “the best Prime Minister“, terrible for Sunak, but hardly a ringing endorsement of Starmer either.

After Guantanamo, Bagram, Kabul, Abu Ghraib etc, the U.S. Government can say nothing about human rights abuses.

Well, anyone can make a “mathematical error”, as when a number of, say, six million becomes one of four million and then, later, one and a half million…anyone could make such a mistake, I suppose…

Adam Smith wrote about “the hidden hand“, but I don’t think he had this “hidden hand” in mind…

Interesting, but Britain First can never be the party Britain needs. Its pro-Jewish lobby, pro-Israel stance…that alone…

…and here is Emily Thornberry living the high life with a pack of Zionists in London, including the former Israeli Ambassador, Regev (centre of photo):

Labour, “the party for working people”??

For me, the main thing is to break the rigged “two main parties” system (scam). So if the Conservative Party is trampled upon and left almost powerless at GE 2024, good, even though that would be at the cost of a Labour Party “elected dictatorship” for up to 5 years. With one large party reduced to almost nothing, the System’s rhythm will be disrupted. No more the idea that “the other lot” will be better. With the Cons deflated, and the LibDems already on the floor, other ideas, social-national ideas, will come through, one way or the other.

Government employees have been taught by private sector consultants to spot ‘microaggressions’ at specially run workshops since 2021.

Officials have been told to nod their heads as a way to improve inclusion. Feedback from civil servants that have undergone the training was said to be highly critical.

A decade later [after the 2014 NWO/ZOG coup in Kiev], the midwife of Maidan, a humiliated and defeated Nuland, speaks from Kiev.

Her accomplishments:

* Russia is stronger than ever since the breakup of the USSR, globally and nationally. Putin enjoys high approval ratings and Russia is more unified than ever.

* Crimea is still Russia and Sevastopol is not a triumphant new addition to the U.S. global military empire.

* Nuland literally f**ked the EU.

[not “literally“, surely, except maybe in one or two cases].

* Europe was forced to replace cheap Russian energy with expensive Russian energy, laundered through various middlemen. Entire industrial sectors have been gutted.

* 440,000 dead Ukrainians.

Add to that list the implosion of Ukraine not only as a state (failed state, fake state) but also as a nation and people.

Hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged men killed on the battlefield; as many or more, possibly millions, have fled to EU and other states. Millions of women and under-18 offspring have also relocated outside Ukraine. The population is not reproducing itself, and in fact its numbers are falling rapidly.

The industrial sector is almost flat. The agricultural sector is finding it hard to export. Electrical power supply is unreliable.

Meanwhile, despite various problems, Russia is flourishing.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Nuland]. Half-Jewish, incidentally.

Strategically, Russia’s overall position cannot be compared to that of Kiev-regime Ukraine, which only stays in existence by reason of aid from the EU and North America.

The fake “debate” continues in the msm, but above that facade of fakery the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan also continues unabated, flooding western and central Europe with non-whites.

If Matt Goodwin actually put forward solutions to the migration invasion etc, he would probably end up in court, as did I, in my case the victim of malicious complaint by an “entitled” tribe. Having said that, Goodwin is very pro-Israel, so maybe (like Douglas Murray) he can “offend” (non-Jews, anyway) without facing judicial sanction.

The 1970s NF had its rough edges, but most of what it predicted would happen in the UK has since come to pass. In terms of street violence, incidentally, the NF was far more sinned against than sinning, in my view.

You see the Aaronovitch type of argument all the time from the “politically correct”/”woke” rabble: “British people commit crimes, so any riff-raff off the boat who commit crimes should not be deported.” Or…”some British people are sex offenders, so we must not characterize the “British” Pakistani community as harbouring a large number of rape gangs targeting young (real British) girls, because that harms ‘diversity’.”

Und so weiter

Aaronovitch is the son of communist intellectual and economist Sam Aaronovitch,[2] and brother of actor Owen Aaronovitch and author and screenwriter Ben Aaronovitch. His parents were atheists whose “faith was Marxism“, according to Aaronovitch, and he is ethnically half Jewish and half Irish.” [Wikipedia].

Well, in the American phrase, “what goes around comes around”. By 2029, or 2034, Iran, other states around Israel, even Hezbollah, maybe even Hamas, will have far more sophisticated missiles and drones. I wonder what will happen then?

Those Israeli soldiers and their families may, in 5 or 10 years, be themselves “victims”, and will no doubt be able anyway to pose as such.

The gates of the Gaza Ghetto, in effect.

[a gate of the Warsaw Ghetto, c.1941]

Israel presents an image of national unity, usually. The deep rifts within its society are hidden from view much of the time. Having said that, the only Israeli prime minister to have been assassinated (Rabin) was killed not by an Arab but by a Jew, and one supposedly connected with the Shin Beth security org. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzhak_Rabin#Assassination_and_aftermath.

The Jewish “human rights” lawyers in the UK have been remarkably quiet since Israeli forces started to kill or horribly wound tens of thousands of Gazan women and children; not to mention terrorizing the survivors, who are living in hunger and squalor.

Ingrained weakness.

Still, I suppose that someone (of any race or nation) who is involved in the mass slaughter of women and children is quite likely to face psychological disturbance.

However rough, and in places savage, was the Hamas attack in October, the Israelis have now killed tens of thousands in what amounts to a quasi-genocidal retaliation. The wounded, many badly wounded (amputations, mutilations etc), must be approaching a hundred thousand in number. Half have been under-18, and a quarter, more or less, small children and babies.

The Jews, not only in Israel, but in the UK, USA, France etc have tried to justify such terrible retaliation as “self-defence” but, certainly after the first few days, that really does not wash.

There is also the point that, if some of the Palestinian Arabs sometimes behave monstrously, it is mainly because they have been made monstrous, over 70-80 years, by the Israelis.

War has, of course, a human cost. Sometimes there is no alternative to war, but often there is.

One sometimes wonders what drives System political drones such as Angela Rayner. Political tribalism, aka Labour right or wrong? Personal (inc. financial) selfishness, or acquisitiveness? Egoism and/or egotism?

Hard for me to understand, because I have always been described by others (not always favourably, though) as an idealist. I suppose that I could have joined, in youth, one of the two main System parties, which might have led eventually to a Parliamentary seat and —who knows?— to a ministerial portfolio, perhaps even to the Cabinet.

I am, however, not a careerist. In the end, ideology, belief, truth matters to me; policy matters to me; results matter to me; beyond that, the well-being of people and animals matters to me.

The Minister of Defense of Germany announced the delivery of the following weapons to Ukraine in 2024:

– air defense system IRIS-T SLM; –

Memory card “Gepard”;

– additional artillery systems with more than 230,000 ammunition;

– more than 80 Leopard 1 A5 tanks;

– additional BMP;

– additional engineering machines and bridge-layers;

– 450 armored vehicles;

– demining systems;

– drones;

– radar systems and intelligence systems.

This year, Germany also plans to train 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers.

What incredible impudence! The German Government is going to gift the Kiev regime 80 more tanks, and 450 other armoured vehicles. This is almost direct involvement in the war.

Russia has not, as yet, deployed more than a small fraction of its mighty military-destructive power. The West must back-pedal on the present headlong rush to regional and even world war.

I can only hope that the prevailing winds across the UK continue to blow from west to east…

The inhabitants of Gaza are now worse off than were the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto in the early 1940s. History can certainly take some surprising turns.

Gaza was, after all, the location for the fight between David and Goliath.

One of the most interesting pieces of news I have read recently is that 14% of Israelis with dual nationality have fled the country in the past 3 months. Israel is doomed.

Use his correct name— David Cameron-Levita…

What we, those of us interested in the future of the European peoples, must do is to prepare as best we can for what might well be the situation after the next great war. Preservation of a core of European humanity, and the foundation of a society to provide a basis for a superculture, indeed for successive supercultures of the far future. We shall be there too, via reincarnation.

Not a legitimate Home Secretary but yet another horrible mongrel elevated with little merit to a high political position in our country.

Israeli propaganda“. Quite. Jewish broadcaster Emily Maitlis, having now left the BBC, is free to blast out Israeli propaganda. In fact, I notice that Jewish-lobby or Israel-lobby mouthpieces are everywhere today on the TV, radio, social media. Emily Maitlis, Michael Portillo, even “Tommy Robinson”.

Looks like it has been co-ordinated to some degree. Even not-famous Jews are tweeting the same sort of stuff. Such as? Oh, “getting bombed is your fault if you are a small child in Gaza, because either your family knows someone who supports Hamas, or because you might grow up to be anti-Israel” etc. Or, “the people of Gaza are not poor because the Israelis control most of the utilities, and prevent much economic activity, and also exploit Palestinian day-labourers by chiselling their low pay, but because of Hamas”. And so on.

Britain is, in its own way, almost as “occupied”…

Incidentally, Portillo has discarded for a day his popular and pleasant railway monologue character, and reverted to the old harsh persona many will remember from the 1990s, when he thought himself quite likely to become Prime Minister one day.

Town planning thoughts

Since the recent contretemps began, and in fact for long before that, I have been struck by the quite pleasant layout of many of the newer Israeli towns and settlements. Wide main streets, plenty of green spaces and trees, an absence of litter. What a contrast to Gaza!

Of course, part of that is by reason of the “apartheid“-style socio-economic situation in Israel/Palestine, and parallels South Africa in the pre-ANC days. That, however, is not the whole truth. I have seen some of the cities and towns in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt, and some look not much different to Gaza.

Well of course the proper purpose of NATO, the “parrying” of Soviet expansionism, disappeared along with the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, over 30 years ago. Now, it is basically the battering-ram for the New World Order (NWO) conspiracy.

The Israeli Jews have been carrying out atrocities of that sort for a long time; decades. Do they really think that they can do so endlessly, without any retribution? Look at the past month or so, compared to what was open to the Palestinian Arabs in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, or even much of the past 20 years. There has been a step-change.

Yes, Israel’s power is still dominant in the region, and especially over that of the Palestinian Arabs, but for how long?

Ukraine

I predicted throughout that Russia could not lose, strategically. I also predicted that the Kiev-regime counter-offensive would get nowhere. The “experts” said the opposite. They were wrong.

…but the Jews, both in Israel and in countries such as the UK, still whine that they are “victims”. Always “victims” of (incomprehensible) “antisemitism”…

Parasites. Meanwhile, British people, including families and ex-soldiers, are sleeping in the streets or in substandard accommodation.

Labour Party drones are rubbish, of course, but the present Government has betrayed everything and everyone (except the Jewish lobby and Israel…). The misnamed “Conservatives” have to be eliminated at the 2024 GE, even at the cost of a Starmer “elected” dictatorship. One thing at a time.

Outright murder. This is not war but callous and indeed deliberate slaughter of the non-combatant population. It is far less merciful than the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943.

Near Kiev, in the village of Chaiki, Major Gennady Chastyakov, assistant to the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, died.

Zaluzhny reported that his assistant Chastyakov died on his birthday. “An unknown explosive device went off in one of the gifts,” the commander-in-chief noted, adding that the causes and circumstances of death will be established during the pre-trial investigation. According to preliminary data, the grenade exploded while he was opening the gifts – perhaps the device was in one of them.”

As I know only too well, free speech is on the way out in the UK. I am (obviously) not a Muslim, let alone an “Islamist”, but I am not at all “offended” by some foreign person shouting about “Jihad” against Israel in the streets of London. I am not even very offended, or would not be, if the same foreign individual were to cry out for “Jihad” against the UK, or against me personally. After all, the most extreme Zionist Jews have been tweeting malevolently about me for about 13 years. The people of whom to be afraid are those not shouting in the streets.

If foreign (inc. foreign but born here) groups are a danger, then resettle them outside the UK.

As for Suella Braverman, she (like Jenrick, and Mark Harper, who was weaselling for Israel, as usual, on Sky News this morning) is just another doormat for the Jewish lobby.

Ha ha! No comment, I think, except to say that the word you want is “effect“, not “affect” (but I should not want to be regarded as a “grammar nazi”…).

On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters.

Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact. Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water’s surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.

His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.

I read somewhere or other that, of those who jump off the Golden Gate Bridge and then survive both the impact and the waters (about 2%), most recall having a moment when they wished not to have jumped, and/or prayed for a miracle.

Knowing almost no Arabic, I have no idea what he is saying; maybe praising the build-quality of the tunnel.

As I blogged before, the old Soviet KGB had great expertise in digging tunnels. The one shown above looks well-constructed, lined etc. No idea as to depth, though. Presumably very deep.

It is not impossible that there will eventually be a kind of sectarian/civil war across Israel/Palestine. The massive military advantages Israel possesses lie in nuclear weapons, tanks and other armour, air power, high-tech surveillance, much of which loses effectiveness or even utility in closely-packed areas (which describes much of Israel/Palestine).

There may be a war, eventually, in which infantry or guerrilla forces play a major part.

Impossible? Maybe, but my prediction, a few years ago, that the Palestinians might break out of their “open prisons” to attack Israeli civilians in Jewish areas has now come to pass in the recent attack on Southern Israel, so who knows?

As I blogged before, the Gaza situation, as it now is, is most similar, historically, to the Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, but this time the Jews are not the ragged defenders but the heavily-armed and armoured army, with air support, attacking an urban enclave filled with mostly-unarmed civilians (in this case, mostly babies, young children, and young teenagers).
