Historical note

8-9 November 1923, so 102 years ago, was the time of the so-called Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Hitler-Ludendorff Putsch. Despite having comic-opera elements, it put Hitler and the NSDAP on the map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_Hall_Putsch.

Thought for today

I watched on TV a few minutes of the Remembrance Sunday march of old soldiers past the Cenotaph in Whitehall.

Naturally, such an occasion is always tinged with sadness. So many failed to return, especially from the First World War. My own maternal grandmother had two brothers killed in that war (both captains in the Berks and Bucks Light Infantry); one killed in France in, I believe, 1915, the other on the Somme in 1916.

Of course, there would now be no WW1-serving soldiers on that march, and few, if any, from WW2.

I paused to wonder what might be the views of those marching about the state of the country today. At a guess, not favourable.

My overall feeling, watching the still-proud ranks marching, was that the march has really nothing to do with the UK and its society today. It might as well have been ranks of Roman legionaries marching there. The same goes for so many other ceremonies and institutions which, until quite recently, say 35 years ago, were an accepted part of the national fabric.

[“Former NATO Secretary General admitted that the alliance will not start World War III because of Ukraine. Jens Stoltenberg stated that NATO will not enter into a direct conflict with Russia to protect Kyiv. He recalled that back in February 2022, Zelensky requested the establishment of a no-fly zone, but that would require strikes on Russian air defense systems and would mean the start of a large war.“]

Thank God for that (if true)…

The Jew Zelensky has been hoping for, and pushing for, war between Russia and NATO. That must not be allowed to happen, not least because it might well turn (tactically) nuclear, and that tactical use of nuclear weapons might then lead on to an utterly catastrophic strategic nuclear exchange.

[“The Ukrainian Armed Forces Have Lost Nearly Two Million Soldiers! The Western resource Military Watch Magazine reports that, according to estimates, the Ukrainian army has lost more than 1.7 million people killed and missing in action throughout the conflict. Moreover, experts have found that in some combat operations, the average lifespan of a Ukrainian soldier was a maximum of four hours after entering combat.“]

Ukraine, as a state on its present or pre-2022, or pre-2014 borders, has no future. Perhaps white European people from Western and Central Europe could settle in Eastern Ukraine, once Russia wins the war.

What Lavrov is saying, at core, is “buy from us“; Russia is of course a major weapons-exporting state.

[“The woke oppression totem pole that has been flooded into our establishment is a massive reason why we’re experiencing two-tier justice so extensively here in the UK in modern times. The more protected characteristics you have from the Equality Act 2010, the more the state think you are in the right – or are the victim even when you’re not. That’s why straight White men have been punished so harshly in their own country.”]

Of course, that MP is just another pro-Israel drone, but leave that aside.

The migration-invasion is now the pre-eminent electoral issue in the UK (and elsewhere) but there is still a big bloc of “I’m OK” idiots for whom rubbish such as football, rugby, cricket, lesbianki “lionesses”, X-Factor, Strictly Come Dancing etc take precedence in their little minds.

Translates to a Commons with about 428 Reform MPs, 80 Lab, 42 LibDem, 42 SNP, 14 Con, 9 Greens (etc).

My own opinion is that, by reason of the old System main parties, Lab and Con, now being equally hated and despised, very many people will vote Reform just to stamp on those two old parties; others will vote Reform because it is the only alternative now thought likely to have a chance.

Reform may end up with 450 MPs, it may end up with “only” 250, or even fewer; we shall have to see. I think that the “Conservatives” will slip lower as their natural hard core of elderly and very elderly pensioners start to pass away. Labour is also doomed, unless Starmer-stein is replaced by some figure able to appeal to a cross-section of voters.

At present, I see no sign of that. At one time I thought that Dan Jarvis might be a superficially-credible such figure, but his several years of toeing the Labour Party line, kow-towing to the Jewish/Israel lobby, and having nothing worthwhile to say about anything, have diminished him, visibly. No chance.

The present polling takes no account of either the Islamist independents or of Corbyn’s nascent “Your Party”.

I just fed my own speculations into Electoral Calculus, and came up with Reform 444 MPs, Lab 68, LibDems 50, SNP 40, Greens 15, and Cons…1 (etc). If “Your Party” were to get 5-10 MPs, then Labour would be reduced by the same amount accordingly.

Pie in the sky for now…

Then the same must be true, mutatis mutandis, of criticism of Jewish behaviour/Judaism/Zionism/Israel-ism/”holocaust” nonsense etc.

I wonder why?…

“Their” lack of self-awareness is always hard to believe.

[“The man who rebranded ‘repatriation’ as ‘,remigration’ confirms my point: It’s an empty piece of political grand-standing. There isn’t the faintest possibility of the grifters and conmen who run Europe’s populist parties either doing anything effective or being replaced in state power by genuine nationalists within 3 or 4 electoral cycles. Which means that remigration is not going to happen. Which in turn means that calling for it simply wastes time and resources which are desperately needed to prepare our peoples to be the largest minority in societies of minorities. Time for nationalists to stop writing ‘Dear Santa’ letters and get on with organising for the long run.”]

True, but once the idea of removing non-Europeans from Europe is out there, on the table, it does change the political dynamic, whatever the political and social realities —or apparent realities— might say about that.

Never bettered

Miles better than the facile Hollywood film made more recently.

I still regret having missed the (apparently excellent) talk given by John le Carre (David Cornwell), the author of Tinker Tailor and similar books, at the G.B.-U.S.S.R. Association offices and library circa 1984. That was an organization in Grosvenor Place, London S.W.1., funded by the Foreign Office as a kind of para-diplomatic/cultural thing; the small staff (librarian, assistant librarian, and Director) were paid and employed on Foreign Office pay and conditions. The organization went back to 1959; several ex-Prime Ministers had belonged.

I joined mainly in order to use their library of Russian and English books, the windows of which library, a few floors up from ground level, overlooked the gardens of Buckingham Palace. I also took part in basic Russian language sessions.

That organization no longer exists. It was renamed in the early 1990s, moved to a ghastly brown-coloured office building near the (also now gone, and redeveloped) Nine Elms vegetable market at Vauxhall, then closed down as a result, in part, of government spending cuts (circa 1996).

Looking at the BBC’s coverage over several past years, he must have been pretty useless.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/nov/09/obr-2025-budget-verdict-important-but-bond-market-key-rachel-reeves

“The markets” should serve society, not rule society.

First of all, get rid of Marianna Spring, whose provenance is suspiciously obscure, and who was a proven fraudster/liar even before she joined the BBC.

The BBC is but one of many many old-established, respected, even beloved institutions in the UK now trashed and all but ruined. Which? Well, among them I would name the Bar, the Inns of Court, the system of “KC” appointment, the legal system generally, the court system, the prison system, the police, the Foreign Office, the Church of England, the whole political system and electoral system, the Civil Service, local government, the banking system, the Monarchy, the wider honours system, the RNLI, the National Trust [etc].

The UK police have turned from their traditional role(s) to becoming a kind of “poundshop Stasi“, the role of which is to enforce socio-ideological conformity among the masses of the UK population, and to repress manifestations of ethno-national dissidence.

The Saudis and other Gulf Arabs have nothing— no reality as “states” or peoples, no integrity, not even their traditional religion. Living on borrowed time.

As it now is, the EU is anti-European. also, A kind of NWO/ZOG dictatorship, in effect. The European states should leave both the EU and NATO.

Is that not some kind of Masonic distress signal?

Fate, or Schicksal. We all are in the dispensations of Fate.

As I blogged long ago, at least 2 years ago, the strategic balance was always in Russia’s favour, and Russia could not and would not lose this war. Now, events on the macro scale have ensured that that will be the case.

[“Parents were told – by people they thought were experts – that dire consequences would ensue if their children were not given access to puberty blockers. Stonewall told managers and employees that “transwomen” were entitled to enter women’s single-sex spaces and sports. It encouraged public and private sector organizations to “go beyond the law” in the hope that this would make gender self-ID the de facto – and eventually de jure – reality. Civil servants and officials around the country have promoted the message that trans-identifying people should be treated in accordance with their “gender identity”. Worst of all, children have been encouraged to believe it’s possible to change sex, and that they will be accepted for all purposes as the opposite sex. All these lies and misrepresentations have caused immense damage. Some of the protests have been repulsive and inexcusable. But the angry, distraught trans-identifying people we are hearing from were lied to by thousands of people who should have known better. When you’ve been living a lie, the truth is very painful. The civil unrest – and political troublemaking – we’ve seen is dangerous. @Keir_Starmer must make a statement welcoming the Supreme Court ruling and strongly affirming his party’s commitment to the rule of law.“]

Diary Blog, 8 September 2024, with some examination of the role of atrocity narratives in modern history

1 Comment

Morning music

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrushka_(ballet)]

Atrocity stories

Nihil novi…

As a matter of fact, most WW2 atrocity narratives in Europe can be traced back to WW1 British “black propaganda”. A few used in the First World War were not recycled for Second World War use, though, because obviously invented and very hard to believe (e.g. the German Army of 1914 allegedly having used Belgian nuns as bell-clappers in cathedrals).

More recently, many will recall the lying 15-y-o Kuwaiti girl who, after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, claimed that Iraqi troops had taken hospital incubators, leaving hundreds of babies to die: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony.

“In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah’s last name was al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيرة الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Nasser Al-Saud Al-Sabah, the erstwhile Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of a wider public relations campaign conducted by the Kuwaiti government-in-exile’s Citizens for a Free Kuwait, which sought to encourage American military involvement against Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait through coordination with the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton. In the aftermath of the Gulf War, the Nayirah testimony came to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.[1][2]

Nayirah’s story was initially corroborated by Amnesty International, which published a report about the supposed killings[3] and testimony from Kuwaiti evacuees. Following the liberation of Kuwait, international media crews were given access to the country. A report by ABC News found that “patients, including premature babies, did die, when many of Kuwait’s nurses and doctors … fled” but Iraqi troops “almost certainly had not stolen hospital incubators and left hundreds of Kuwaiti babies to die.”[4] Later, Amnesty International USA reacted by issuing a correction, with executive director John Healey subsequently accusing the H. W. Bush administration of “opportunistic manipulation of the international human rights movement.”[5]

[Wikipedia]

In other words, the guilty parties were Kuwaiti doctors and nurses.

Incidentally, I have myself met only a small number of Kuwaitis in my life, about a dozen, but I have to say that every single one I have met in the past was a useless, unpleasant, and completely untrustworthy waste of space.

I myself was in the USA in 1990, and remember the barrage of TV propaganda pushing that untruthful testimony, as well as other stories designed to get the clueless American masses behind Desert Shield and, later, Desert Storm.

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

Apropos of nothing much, I think that the American names for military and other operations are much more evocative than the British equivalent, which are deliberately disconnected from the operations concerned, so that some espionage plot might be designated “Operation Morris Minor” or some such.

Hard to believe that that happened 33 years ago. The Second World War officially ended on 2 September 1945 (I was born on the same day and month but 11 years later, in 1956).

33 years after the end of that terrible war brings us to 1978. By that time, a new generation, my generation, born after 1945, thought of “the War” as mere long-ago history. I presume that that is how young people today think of the Gulf War or, even more so, the Falklands campaign of 1982 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War].

Atrocity propaganda is now an inevitable part of almost all human conflict, as was seen in the fairly recent (October 2023) attack by the Gazan organization, Hamas, on Southern Israel. At time of writing, people are still arguing over whether Hamas operatives “beheaded babies”, but it seems that they did not. The story that they had done so, though, was much used by Israel and the worldwide Jewish lobby to deflect criticism of the initial Israeli attacks, which happened (on a huge scale, though similar attacks had happened for years) from October 2023, killing, wounding, and making homeless the civilian population of Gaza (including babies).

The ultimate “atrocity propaganda”, of course, remains the WW2 “holocaust” narrative, and particularly the “gas chambers” part of that. Other parts of that narrative (armchairs upholstered in Jewish skin, lampshades made of the same material etc) have joined yet other “holocaust” atrocity stories in what Marx called “the dustbin of history“, abandoned even by the Zionists, but the “gas chambers” remain. Not as actual relics— there are none, unless you count those constructed after 1945 at Auschwitz in order to show the credulous masses of West and East what German SS personnel were alleged to have done. The “relics” that remain are psychological, in the minds of millions, particularly in the Anglophone countries.

One can see why the Zionists persist in trying to maintain the “gas chambers” narrative. Without it, the whole Jewish “holocaust” narrative (as something above and beyond what was suffered by other races or peoples in the 20th Century) falls. What would remain, were the world to accept that the “gas chambers” never existed, would be the actual truth— that quite large numbers of Jews in Europe, especially Eastern Europe, were treated badly, with many of them actually shot, but none actually gassed (as per the “official” historical narrative).

That more truthful version of 20thC history, however, would put Jewish suffering on —at most— the same level as the sufferings of others: in WW2, the sufferings of Russians and others brutalized and/or shot by the Soviet government, and the sufferings of Germans brutalized and/or killed by Soviet forces and or by other forces, including the Allied bombing of Germany 1941-1945 (which killed somewhere between 350,000 and 800,000 Germans), as well as the various groups treated badly by some German forces.

The “gas chambers” narrative is really the only claim that, if accepted, would tend to put the experience of Jews in the early/mid 1940s into a box above and beyond what other peoples suffered during the 20thC (and before, and after). That is why the Zionists keep pushing it.

Very true.

Many seem to regard Divine intervention as the only thing that might stop or delay the migration invasion of the UK. Whatever one thinks of that, the System parties will not stop it; indeed, they encourage it.

Something for Richard Moore to think about before he broadcasts more pro-“Ukraine” (Kiev-regime) propaganda bs.

Hardball.

Well, as a pensioner now myself, I support that on a personal as well as general policy level, especially as I get a very reduced State Pension (by reason of having been overseas much of the time).

Wait a minute… Only yesterday, Sir Richard Moore, the Chief of SIS/MI6, told the UK television audience that “Ukraine” has “the will to fight“. In reality, Ukrainians are desperate to avoid or evade the draft. The Kiev regime will collapse before long. Russia will ultimately prevail.

If only I had the power to do something about all of that, especially that last item.

Exactly. The NHS is very much a “hit or miss” service now.

What is “on the rise” is a growing anger that nothing works properly or easily in the UK, and a growing anger about the migration-invasion (a million or more each year), and also a growing realization that “two-tier” Keir is incapable of improving this country and indeed is determined to (further) ruin it (as well as being an unmandated petty dictator).

…and another 20,000 who entered the UK “legally” in the past week; at least superficially “legally”.

That is in the northern part of Donetsk Oblast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloviansk.

Only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters voted Labour at the 2024 General Election. About 3 voted Con, 2 voted Reform UK, 2 voted LibDem, and 1 voted Green. 8 refused to vote.

Labour has no real mandate.

Hard to know what to believe.

So far, mainly threats. In a sense, a clever tactic, in that Israeli government, society, and economy seem paralyzed by the fear or expectation.
