Saturday quiz

Well, a very poor week for me: 2 out of 10, but still good enough to beat political journalist John Rentoul, who scored only 1/10. I knew the answers to questions 3 and 4, no others.

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12843985/Integrating-migrants-society-impossible-current-levels-Robert-Jenrick-warns-quitting-week-immigration-minister.html.

Integrating migrants into society is ‘impossible’ at current levels Robert Jenrick has warned just days after he suddenly quit as immigration minister.

[A statement of the obvious, of course].

Last night he claimed the Tories would face the ‘red-hot fury of voters at the ballot box’ unless further action it taken to bring down the high levels of immigration to the UK.

The former minister went to argue that the Government’s plan to reduce net migration from 745,000 to the 2019 level of 226,000 is a ‘considerable way off.

[Daily Mail].

[in what world is even 200,000 —net— acceptable?].

Zelensky’s inner circle are wary of a threat from the influential Zaluzhny, who has claimed the war has reached a stalemate. Sources tell me that they have tried to have the military chief fired, but he was just too popular.”

[Daily Mail]

It is claimed that the Jew Zelensky not only has 2 luxury villas outside Ukraine, one (in Florida) worth USD $40M, but also has bought two superyachts or megayachts in the UAE.

As to “stalemate“, we shall see during the drier weather of summer 2024 whether Russia has the means and the men to make a general advance on Kiev.

Whether that happens or not, Russia cannot lose the war in Ukraine, and will not lose it.

Only very silly people would believe a word Starmer may say.

The bien-pensants of Twitter/X may say that housing, pay, benefits, pensions etc are more important than immigration as a mainstream political issue, but the fact is that mass immigration and migration invasion make those issues —and others— far more pressing. It affects everything.

Diary Blog, 2 December 2023, with thoughts about General Election 2024, Reform UK etc

Afternoon music

Saturday quiz

Well, this week I scraped another narrow victory over political journalist John Rentoul, with 5/10 as compared to his 4/10.

I knew the answers to questions 1, 2, 5, 6, and 10.

Tweets seen

I feel that, with the passing into history of the late Queen, the Monarchy in Britain has ceased to be of any real relevance.

Charles has become a total —and very obvious— mouthpiece for the international conspiracy.

Please refer to previous comment…

That would result, using Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] in a massive Labour majority of (about) 352: Labour 501 MPs, Conservatives 74, LibDems 35. The only thing keeping the Con Party going would be its history (now trashed anyway), its assets (if any) and its name-recognition among the public.

I notice that it might also mean an undeserved boost to the LibDems, tripling their number of MPs.

Despite that polling, indicating that Reform UK might still win no seats (despite polling nationwide a point higher than the LibDems; more proof that FPTP voting is not working now in the UK), this may not be the end of the show. I think that political academic Matt Goodwin might be right in predicting a surge in support for the rather pathetic latest Farage vehicle (now notionally led by Richard Tice).

If, as Goodwin predicts might happen, Reform UK does surge to, say, 15%, and if the extra 5 points come from Con Party former voters, then the number of Con Party seats reduces to about 30, but Labour would gain, and not Reform UK, which would still be left without any MPs despite, in that scenario, scoring one and a half times the votes of the LibDems, who would end up with about 43 MPs. The voting system is broken.

The reason of course, is that (as with UKIP in 2015) Reform UK has a fairly even level of support nationwide, without the concentrations of votes in some constituencies that the LibDems have.

In fact, to start getting MPs, Reform UK will have to achieve about 18% across the board. If those votes all came from former Con voters, the Con Party vote would have to decline to 14%. In that unlikely (?) scenario, the Conservatives would be left with about 10 MPs and might fairly be said to have been wiped out.

Incidentally, on 18%, Reform UK would still only get about 1 MP.

If Reform UK can take Labour votes as well, a very different picture. Still a huge Labour majority, but the Conservatives left with a rather more respectable 80-90 seats (and LibDems with about 50). Reform UK would still only get one or two MPs, however. Very unjust (not that I have much time for Reform UK, especially after Farage and Tice recently doormatting for Israel and the Jewish lobby).

I take Goodwin’s point though (I should do— after all, I have been making it for years myself): in a situation where both main System parties are determined to do pretty much the opposite of what most voters want, even sheep-like voters start to think how to protest, in the absence of a credible social-national party. Former Con voters may abstain, or may vote (mainly) for Reform UK, maybe LibDem, or other parties; Labour dissenters who dislike Starmer and his Labour Party may protest by (mainly) voting LibDem or Green.

Both main System parties are signed up to the transnational conspiratorial agenda— funnelling blacks and browns into Europe and other formerly almost-entirely white European societies (Australia, New Zealand etc). Also, signed up to the whole globalization project, to the biosecurity pseudo-health state idea, and to the cashless society idea (thus allowing the “central power” to de-bank people, cut off funds etc at will, eventually, e.g. to punish those who say or write the “wrong” things).

At present, GE 2024 is still a year ahead, probably. The only fairly certain fact is that this Government has run out of road, and is hanging on because it cannot think of anything else to do. Indian money-juggler Sunak is as misplaced in his office as were “Boris”-idiot, Theresa May, and David Cameron-Levita; ah, I actually forgot that ridiculous “ho”, Liz Truss. She too.

Sunak will probably decamp to California by 2025 at latest. Remember that nasty little bastard Nick Clegg? He is now living in an affluent suburb near San Francisco.

We are “ruled” by cosmopolitan poseurs of that sort, totally corrupt, and their venality equalled by their incompetence.

Yes, but at present there are nearly a million unwanted migrant-invaders coming to live in the UK every year, even after emigrants are taken into account. That makes a continuing and worsening housing situation inevitable.

In a word, yes…

“Ukraine” (Kiev regime)— a failed state, a non-state.

A considerable part of the Ukrainian population might be fairly described as “blockheads” (even before they get drunk).

Please refer to previous comment.

I do not know the politics of Highgate, particularly, so cannot really comment.

Incidentally, that tweeter, John Edwards, a retired fire chief, at one time quite a few years ago would chat to me on Twitter (a pack of Jews had me expelled in 2018), but later had his ear bent to the extent that he tweeted to people that I was “a dreadful fascist“; yet here I am supporting his right to freedom of expression. #MoralHighGround…

Anyone who votes Labour in 2024 expecting any kind of positive change in the UK from that would have to be a total idiot. However, the present Sunak Government is just so hated and despised by almost everyone (my guess, around 85%+) that, in a basically binary electoral/political system, Labour, despite the fact that it offers —realistically— nothing, is almost certain to win big next year.

Britain is now so screwed, and in almost every way, that only a total change to a social-national rulership, combined with a massive cultural and other purge, will save it, if it can be saved.

Hancock should have been tarred and feathered, along with all those in and around government promulgating the absurd “lockdowns” and other “Covid”-related nonsense.

Instead, he is given hundreds of thousands of pounds to eat snails and witchetty grubs in that ridiculous “Jungle” TV show.

My assessment of Hancock from 2019: https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/09/09/deadhead-mps-an-occasional-series-the-matt-hancock-story/.

Well, dear readers, was I right or wrong?

“Israeli-born geneticist believes the Turkish villages of Iskenaz, Eskenaz and Ashanaz were part of the original homeland for Ashkenazic Jews.

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]

In other words, they have no right (based on claims of ancient settlement) to the lands now known as Israel and Palestine.

There should be an institute somewhat similar to SS-Ahnenerbe which could take DNA and other evidence, in order to investigate such theories and claims.

Should not be too difficult. After all, Zelensky has ripped off tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions, of US dollars, has a $50M villa in Florida, another luxury villa in Italy, probably others as well.

Even the System administrators in the UK admit that about a million “new” inhabitants (even “net”) are in the UK every year. “Illegal” migration-invasion, “legal” migration and also (not even included in immigration statistics) about 500,000 births to non-whites within the UK. Every year. If you add those, the true figure is about 1.5M per year. White (real British) people are not even replacing their numbers.

The Great Replacement. The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

The “liberal” and other pro-immigration idiots (and/or enemies of the people) never address the consequences— lack of housing, slow collapse of all civic and social services, fewer opportunities for British youth, lower pay, lower State benefits, and no decent future…

The pro-immigration idiots or enemies just drone that the UK should “build more houses“, meaning hundreds of thousands of dwellings per year, destroying our once “green and pleasant land”, and yet not even keeping pace with the numbers flooding in (and being born to invaders already here).

There are hundreds of millions of blacks, browns, Chinese and others who would like to live in the UK, even as it now is. Many would have, under the outdated “asylum” laws, a legal “right” to live here, if they can blag a way to get here. Imagine the UK with a population of 2 or 3 or 10 times what it now is, so 140M, 210M, even 700M, almost all non-white, non-European.

In reality, our society, and our political system, would collapse into chaos long before the population even reached 100M. Perhaps that is what will happen. If so, the most resilient British survivors may then have to “wade through slaughter to a throne“, in the words of Gray’s Elegy.

Ha. The expressions on the faces of those oddly middle-aged soldiers or reservists! The boring and derivative turbofolk (music) is obviously not hitting the spot.

Scarcely more mad than “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) having as President a corrupt Jewish TV comedian, as has happened already.

As I have blogged previously, if some of the people in Gaza are —or seem— monstrous, it is because they have been made monstrous, and made so by the Israeli Jews, and the conditions in which the Gazans have been forced to live for decades.

Obviously, Israel can hardly fail to “win” on the battlefield of Gaza. Atomic weapons (in reserve), huge air power, tanks etc, versus infantry hiding in tunnels and, sometimes, smallish rockets fired.

The question is not so much which side will prevail on the open battlefield in the short term, but rather the longer-term picture.

Even with the settlers lured from USA, Australia, UK, France and elsewhere, the Israeli state is running out of people compared to the Palestinians and the surrounding Arab/Muslim populations. Eventually, the numbers will tell, as they are now beginning to tell politically in Northern Ireland.

The recent incursion from Gaza to southern Israel shocked the Israelis precisely because it was a direct attack by organized Palestinian Arabs on Israeli military and civilian strongholds. The Israelis must be thinking about the possibility of larger incursions happening in the more populated parts of the country, and whether from Gaza or elsewhere. The distances are not great. Gaza to Tel-Aviv or Jerusalem is in the 40-50 mile range.

That is just ridiculous! I am not opposed to some forms of civilian ownership of weapons, but that is a whole armoury.

Ha ha! Perhaps I should have put that tweet before the Court at my recent trial!

I wonder what they mean by “blacks“? Moors, probably.

They are claiming that 145 “blacks” lived in London c. 1350. Until the outbreaks of the Black Death, the whole population of London seems to have been around 80,000, maybe more.

The msm drones such as the woman mentioned are usually complete puppets of Jewish-lobby or Israeli-lobby propaganda. They are not the honest journalistic commentators of the past.

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

The above tweet hits the nail on the head. No matter whether people on this or that State benefit “deserve” the monies received (and do the Royal Family “deserve” their inherited wealth? Do entitled drones of the David Cameron-Levita type?), the fact is that almost 100% of those monies received are spent almost immediately, thus turning the wheels of the consumer economy. The “cost” of State benefits, ultimately, is far less than the superficial figures sometimes suggest.

I think that we are seeing all this “benefits/workshy/disability/feckless” stuff because the present government is desperate to find issues to hit on re. the 2024 General Election. This one, surely, is a non-starter after years of the same since 2010, and indeed since about 2005.

Strange, the UK these days. I am not only messed about and then charged with having posted supposedly “grossly offensive” comments and cartoons about Jews on this blog, and then actually convicted of the same, but a total waste of space such as Camilla Tominey can go on TV and call millions of people, many suffering from painful medical conditions, “parasites“…

Which is the more “offensive”?

Yes, I know that TV station broadcasts are excluded from the ambit of Communications Act 2003 s.127, but that just makes it an even more ridiculous law.

Israel represents a threat to the world, even greater than nuclear weapons.

There is a story about a woman who raised a snake in her home. When the snake grew, it stopped eating for an extended period, and the woman noticed that it would coil around her every night. Concerned about the snake’s appetite, she visited a doctor, who, after hearing about the snake’s behavior, explained to her that it wasn’t sick but rather preparing to eat her.

Israel shares a similar ideological behavior to the snake in this story. It occupied Palestinian land after peaceful coexistence between Jews and Palestinians before 1948. Later on, Israel’s international relations have revealed it self to public, it worth to mention that they didn’t have any normal friendship relations, and most of its relationships can be summarized in three forms: 1. Economic control using international banks owned by Jewish investors worldwide, lending money with political interventions in borrowing countries or imposing economic dominance through expansive investments and using these investments as a means of pressure. 2. Blackmail tactics, explicit leverage over prominent diplomatic and economic figures, or bribery and allure, following the “carrot and stick” principle. 3. Military power and threats of war.

A trans police officer who trolled a free speech campaigner online branding him a women beater and a Nazi has been sacked.

Lynsay Watson, 56, sent former police officer Harry Miller more than 1,200 messages over an 18-month period in which she also described him as a Fascist and a bigot and labelled his campaign group Fair Cop ‘domestic terrorists’.

PC Watson targeted Mr Miller because his views about gender identity were ‘in direct contradiction to her own’ a police misconduct panel was told on Friday.

In the messages she made ‘factual assertions that Mr Miller was violent towards women’.

She also described broadcaster Sonia Poulton as Terf (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) – intended to be a derogatory term.

The panel heard she initially sent messages from an account in which she identified herself as a police officer – prompting Mr Miller to complain about her conduct to Leicestershire police.

But when she was spoken to by a senior officer – he simply advised her to post anonymously instead using a pseudonym, the panel was told.

She went on to set up at least four different accounts with fake names, including one in which she claimed to be a retired officer from another force as well as a Home Office adviser on policing and transgender issues with a masters in legal studies.

People, across the usual political spectrum, are waking up to the reality— Parliamentary “democracy” in the UK is now just a public relations facade, a scam, really.

“Them”…and those in hock to “them”…

Perhaps.

What interests me about the Israeli nuclear base at Dimona is that it is within range of missiles from Gaza, as well as within range of missiles from some of the states surrounding Israel.

Ah, “Ostrovsky”…yes, I read his book (By Way of Deception) when it first appeared, about 33-34 years ago, around 1989, I think. I have to say that the years have not been too unkind to him, if that is a recent clip. He must be (?) about 65 or even 70.

According to Wikipedia, 73: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Ostrovsky.

[addendum, a few hours later: just noticed the date on the video—1995! Just as well that I was never in the spy business…]

What mostly stuck in my mind from his (first) book was how he had been taught (by MOSSAD) that Israeli agents maintain well-hidden caches of arms and explosives in all countries of the world except the USA. I presume(d) that the exception is because arms and ammo are so easily available in the USA anyway, and ownership of weapons so widespread.

Despite the above, the UK government colludes with the sending to Israel, every year, by the Jew-Zionist set-up in the UK, hundreds if not thousands of young “British” Jews, who then return to the UK after weeks, months, or even years, many of the Jews having become well-versed in weapons-handling, how to attack and kill using streetfighting techniques etc. It is a kind of preparatory Jewish terrorism, and the “British” government, police etc turn a blind eye to it.

Should there be a danger that Jews en masse might be expelled from the UK, those weapons, those individuals, in effect “sleeper” cells, would be activated and deployed in the UK, causing mayhem.

The pre-battle speech by the Israeli military commander on the ground. Quite powerful, a little sub-Churchillian at one point, but not one which will go down in history, I think.

When you consider that, in reality, his forces face a mostly civilian population, half of which is under-18, a quarter of which consists of very young children and babies, that takes any gloss off, of course.

All the same, the defending forces must (?) have expected something of the sort even before they launched their attack on southern Israel three weeks ago. That implies that they are well-prepared.

This is Israel’s “Reduction of the Warsaw Ghetto”, in effect. Not only the Israeli soldiers and bombers and missile-targeters take on the karmic burden of what is happening and what is about to happen. So do all Israelis, and indeed all Jewish and other supporters of Jew-Zionism and Israel, wherever they live in this world.

Interesting. Russia will not attack Europe anyway, unless European states allow themselves to be involved in war against Russia.

European states should join with Russia in creating a near-future and peaceful —where possible— autarky, a white-magic Christendom.

Diary Blog, 12 October 2023, with a few thoughts about the UK’s prisons crisis

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12620735/Rapists-spared-jail-prisons-hit-breaking-point-Judges-told-emergency-scheme-release-lower-risk-inmates-announced-ministers-early-week.html

Rapists could be spared jail from next week as prisons reach breaking point, it was reported last night.

Sex offenders and burglars could be let out on bail rather than handed an immediate custodial sentence, according to guidance issued to judges.

The most dangerous criminals will reportedly have to be held in magistrates’ court cells if they are remanded in custody.

Prisons in England and Wales are on the brink of maximum capacity, with 88,016 inmates last Friday – leaving just 650 spaces spare.

The senior presiding judge for England and Wales, Lord Edis, ordered that sentencing hearings will have to be postponed from Monday, The Times reported.”

[Daily Mail].

There has been a sentencing crisis for years. While many crimes of drunken violence, acquisitive crime etc attract, quite often, non-custodial sentences, other crimes, often very minor, not only result in prison time but in very considerable time.

Look at the political realm. Harmless teenage fantasists who have downloaded online material such as the notorious Anarchist’s Cookbook (which was sold openly in London bookshops in the 1970s, and without the State imploding) have been sentenced to terms of 4, 5, even 7 years, incredibly. Anything (political or otherwise) involving illicit possession of a weapon (even a WW2 revolver) has attracted sentencing as severe, or more severe.

Likewise, there have been sentenced to prison people such as Alison Chabloz (sentenced to a number of months for posting “antisemitic” satirical songs and cartoons online), Jez Turner (a year, for having suggested in a brief speech in Whitehall that Jews should be driven out from England as they were under Edward I in the 14th Century), and “Sven Longshanks” (James Allchurch, sentenced to a very harsh 2.5 years for having posted “antisemitic” material on an internet radio station).

The alert reader will have noted the common factor in the immediately-above three Draconian sentences, but what do you expect when 10 Downing Street has the Israeli flag projected onto its facade? Or when Keir Starmer, posing as Labour Party leader, thinks that the Israeli ethnostate has every right to cut off water, food, and electricity (and everything else) from the 2 million inhabitants of Gaza.

As far as non-political crimes are concerned, one often sees newspaper reports these days about various types of criminal sentenced to, say, terms of 4, 5, or 6 years in prison, when a far shorter term of, say, a couple of years would really suffice. Likewise, people are sometimes —in fact, often— sentenced to a year or more in circumstances where, even retaining a custodial element, a few months would be more than enough.

At the present time, the crisis of available space would easily be solved if judges were to work out carefully, as they are supposed to do, the proper sentence in every case, but then, after all that, cut off a percentage, as an emergency administrative-judicial measure. Say 20%, so that a headline sentence of 5 years becomes one of 4 years, or one of 2.5 years becomes one of 2 years. That would scarcely impact anything other than space in prisons and, within a few months, would start to solve the present problem.

Captain Sir Tom Moore‘s daughter has confessed to pocketing £800,000 from books written by the NHS fundraising war veteran.

In a tearful interview, Hannah Ingram-Moore revealed how the family received the money thanks to her father – whose lockdown walks raised £39million for the nation’s health service.

Mrs Ingram-Moore said her father wanted them to keep the profits from his three books: Captain Tom’s Life Lessons, One Hundred Steps and his autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day.

The family is also adamant that people buying the books were never told their money was going to charity. 

However, the prologue of his autobiography calls this claim into question and suggests the veteran thought his books were just another way for him to raise cash. 

The extract read: ‘Astonishingly at my age, with the offer to write this memoir I have also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.’

[Daily Mail].

I was in the minority of sceptics when the old ex-officer (he spent 6 years in uniform during WW2) started his “crusade”. While arguably wrongheaded, one had to respect the grit of the old fellow, yet the whole thing played into the “scamdemic” propaganda of the time, and even the £30M raised probably did little to help the maladministered NHS.

I could see that the daughter and her husband were basically a pair of freeloaders, if not outright frauds, but people so badly (and rightly) want to believe. In something. In anything. You only have to look at the well-known online “grifters” and frauds around. “Jack Monroe”, “Supertanskiii”, “Man Behaving Dadly” etc. There are dozens, probably hundreds, of them. They destroy trust in society, as do some of the family of the late Captain Moore.

[little boy and his dead cat, following Israeli air attack on Gaza]

Were the atrocities not so terrible, it would be funny to see the UK Jewish/Israel lobby all both pushing out (identical) Israeli propaganda and —at the same time— saying, when asked about the quasi-genocidal Israeli Gaza siege, and mass murder of Gazan civilians, “oh, no, that has nothing to do with us; we bear no responsibility” and “we are just opposed to antisemitism, the actions of Israel are nothing to do with our campaigning in the UK...”.

Etc.

Typical.

Incidentally, I have never seen political fraud and con-man Nigel Farage so pumped-up as when parroting the current Israeli propaganda line in the past few days.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-12620821/invasion-Gaza-Israel-better-way-Colonel-TIM-COLLINS.html

In the wake of the merciless assault by Hamas, Israel seems to be planning the same approach.

All the signs are that its government is preparing to retaliate on a massive scale, mobilising the country’s formidable armed forces against Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared: ‘What we will do to our enemies in the coming days will reverberate for generations.’

His defence minister Yoav Gallant has added: ‘We are fighting human animals – and we act accordingly.

Yet just as Iraq turned out to be a calamitous error, fuelling a lasting cycle of violence, so I fear that – however understandable – any attempt by Israel to exact its vengeance with a savage display of military might could be just as disastrous.”

“…a full invasion, such as Israel’s generals are surely discussing today, would be a bloody quagmire. For Jerusalem, it would mean a conveyor belt of tired soldiers fighting day and night, resupplying with food, water and military hardware, rotating and evacuating casualties, for months on end.

It would chew up thousands of troops for little or no benefit, and poison the Arab world, and to a certain extent the international community, against the Jewish state.

Alas, it looks like Israel is set to take precisely this route.

Already the country has launched a barrage of air strikes, causing heavy civilian casualties – unsurprising given that more than two million people are living in a strip the size of the Isle of Wight.” [in fact, smaller than the Isle of Wight— 141 sq. miles as against 148].

This bombardment has been buttressed by a siege designed to weaken the morale of the citizenry by cutting off their water and electricity.

Yet what is the ultimate objective? What does ‘victory’ for Israel even look like?”

It would be even more interesting were Israel to face attack or, even more so, invasion from the directions of Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and perhaps even (though even less likely) from Egypt, and if the Palestinian Arabs of the West Bank were also to join in the fight.

The immediately-above scenario is unlikely, true, but the Americans must have some reason to have moved one of their fleets closer to the region.

If such a concerted invasion and uprising were to happen, though, Israel could be destroyed, its population fleeing in panic.

I face trial late next month on 5 counts of contravening the notorious s.127 of the Communications Act 2003 (recommended for repeal by the Law Commission). Behind that prosecution, a pack of Jew-Zionists.

I cannot write about all that prior to trial, for reasons of potential contempt of court etc, but one aspect of the case is that I am alleged to have claimed that, in the UK, most of the TV and Press is effectively in the hands of Jew-Zionists (as Rupert Murdoch said years ago— and he is 100% pro-Israel…).

What do you think, blog readers?

Margaret Hodge is just another Jew-Zionist liar and hypocrite.

As in the infamous 1990 Kuwait atrocity story: 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 Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign, which was run by the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti Government. Following this, al-Sabah’s testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.”

[Wikipedia]

[Nayirah al-Sabah, the lying Kuwaiti bitch at the centre of the faked 1990 Kuwait atrocity story]

I was in New York at the time, in 1990. Those lies (blown up hugely by the Jew-Zionist mass media) were quite effective in moulding the TV narratives and the political conversation etc.

Water cut off, food cut off, electricity and gas cut off; all other supplies cut off, and area bombing and rocketing of civilian areas, in a “ghetto” occupied by 2 million inhabitants, 600,000 of whom live in Gaza City.

Of the 2 million Palestinian Arabs in the Gaza Strip, about 1 million are under-18, and most of that million are young children.

If there was ever a war crime amounting to at least quasi-genocide, this surely must be it.

She was called to the Bar at Gray’s Inn and practised as a barrister specialising in human rights law from 1985 to 2005 under Michael Mansfield at Tooks Chambers.”

As I mentioned yesterday, the “human rights” lawyers (often Jewish, though she herself is not) seem to have gone AWOL now that Israel is involved…

[Emily Thornberry, some years ago, with (in centre) Mark Regev, then Israeli Ambassador, at a Zionist dinner in London]

If, as voter, you vote Labour now, you get moneygrubbing tools of Israel such as Emily Thornberry (and Rachel Reeves, and Yvette Cooper, and Keir Starmer). Why bother?

Emily Thornberry, “human rights” lawyer (etc), who thinks it justifiable for Israel to cut off water and food (etc) from 2 million people, almost all of whom (about 96%) are non-combatants, half of whom are under-18, and hundreds of thousands of whom are young or very young children.

I used to wonder what Israeli Intelligence had on Murray to make him the unashamed propagandist for Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby that he is. Now, I tend to think that he is just deeply psychologically damaged.

As for Julia Hartley-Brewer, I think (am unsure) that she is part-Jewish. She is certainly rather ignorant; I had to correct her on a couple of legal points when I still had a Twitter account (a pack of Jews managed to have me expelled in 2018). Instead of thanking me for schooling her, she tried to obfuscate, and then blocked me.

Murray is right with his “flare” metaphor, though. These events have shown what group really pulls the strings of our “democratic” political parties, and System politicians. With a tiny number of honourable exceptions, all puppets of Israel and the Jew-Zionist lobby. From Sunak to Starmer, and from Emily Thornberry to that fraudulent bastard Nigel Farage.

Zelensky is worried because the help of Western allies is weakening The Ukrainian authorities want to get a new series of weapons in order to attack Russian positions after the unsuccessful summer counter-offensive, “ABC” writes. “Ukraine is desperate for more weapons to help its troops take over the positions of Russian units before the ground on the front turns muddy,” the newspaper said. According to the media, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived at the NATO headquarters in Brussels on Wednesday, as Kiev is becoming worried about the weakening of aid from the West, which until recently provided constant support to the Ukrainian armed forces.”

Gaza

A couple of cartoons which speak to me:

Another:

From the newspapers

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12612267/IAN-BIRRELL-Inside-Gaza-Strip-Hamas-rules-iron-fist.html

Gaza has constant power cuts, dismal public services, dirty water and a crushing lack of jobs.

Most of its energy comes from Israel – but even the small contributions from Gaza’s single power plant, like all private generators, rely on imported diesel.

Much of the struggling health services depend on the United Nations and charities. Patients in need of more serious treatment require permission from Palestinian and Israeli officials to travel outside the Strip, which is ringed with 20ft fences, motion sensors, radar and cameras.

But the most critical shortage here is of hope. This is one of the world’s most densely populated places and has one of the youngest populations – yet more than two-thirds of young adults are unemployed, while eight in ten residents rely on external aid.

Although tens of thousands of Palestinians used to leave Gaza to work in Israel, the border was sealed after the Hamas takeover, so an entire generation has grown up never able to leave the Strip and never having met an Israeli.

This all makes it fertile ground for Hamas to find ‘martyrs’ for its twisted cause, especially amid the trauma of living under frequent attack and bombardment.

It is little wonder that past polls have found half of Gazans want to leave this blighted place – and no surprise that it was the source of the latest explosion of hatred to stain this turbulent region.

[Daily Mail].

A 2018 account from Conservative Party-supporting journalist Ian Birrell (he wrote some speeches for David Cameron-Levita c.2012), but interesting, and worth reading the full version.

Gaza has been called “an open prison” but it is is probably more accurate to call it a large-scale guarded ghetto. In fact, to me it resembles from a distance— I have never been there, nor (obviously) Israel— the Warsaw Ghetto of the early 1940s: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto.

That Wikipedia account has been subject to the (((usual))) bias, but gives the overall background.

Of course, casualties in Gaza will be given less prominence than those in Israel, because the Western mass media is —mostly— controlled, or at least heavily influenced, by Jew-Zionists.

Look at the Jewish religious festivals. Most, if not all, are effectively celebrations of ethnic supremacism from ancient history. We are talking about 2,500-3,000 years of historical development.

If you said half or a tenth as much about Jews, the msm “claque” would be screaming and (in the UK) the “poundland KGB” police would probably be making a nuisance of themselves…

Political thoughts

The events in Israel/Palestine have resulted in an outpouring of System virtue-signalling.

Sunak, Starmer, and many others all falling over each other to pledge allegiance to Israel. Political con-man, and “controlled opposition” kingpin Nigel Farage, too. In a way, it is a good thing that those who are under that control have identified themselves.

On a different note, I wonder whether the “answer” to the otherwise intractable Gaza problem might be to establish a programme whereby Gazans can relocate to new towns across the Middle East, with co-operation of governments within the region. Instead of one very crowded city of 2 million inhabitants, 19-20 towns, each with 100,000 inhabitants. Gaza itself to be reduced to 100,000, or perhaps to be returned to sparsely-populated farmland.

The above “solution” might be acceptable both to the Gazans themselves (giving them greater freedom and better living conditions) and to the Israeli government (reducing the “security threat” to near-zero), if it could be organized.

A biased (in its tone) piece by a Jewish scribbler; nonetheless worth reading.

An emboldened Iran will extend the export of its missile and drone technology, which is already playing an important role for Russia in its campaign against Ukraine.

Indeed Moscow, though it has had good relations with Israel, has much to gain from a new Middle Eastern conflict.

The U.S. is likely to feel pressure to strengthen Israel’s defences against Hamas rockets with weapons like the highly effective Patriot surface-to-air anti-missile system. 

America does not have a big stockpile of these Patriots, and Israel will receive priority, meaning there will be far fewer for President Zelensky’s government.

Ukraine is forgotten: the largest American media after the start of the war in Israel closed their “online” coverage of events in Ukraine All major American media have curtailed their coverage of events in Ukraine in live short news mode. CNN, which reported “online” in Ukraine almost non-stop, stopped updating it on October 6. Since then, the link to the Ukrainian “online” has disappeared from the European version of the publication’s main page and has not appeared on it again. Almost simultaneously, The New York Times stopped online coverage of Ukraine. Its main page, like CNN’s, now covers events in Israel online.

Ha.

The stories coming out of Gaza and Southern Israel are more than merely unpleasant; terrible. As far as the Palestinian combatants are concerned, if they are sometimes monstrous, it is because they have been made monstrous, and made so mainly by the behaviour of the Israeli Jews.

Why does some American patriot not do what has to be done?

At first, the rockets sent by the Palestinian resistance were little more than fireworks, but over the years and decades the technology has improved. It seems that now at least some of those rockets are quite powerful.

Israel, for all its military might, and for all its money, and its control/influence in other countries, is doomed in the long run. Demographics alone, in the region as a whole, would seem to indicate that.

Israel may have powerful weapons, including nuclear ones, but those weapons may not be enough to save it, in the end.

Perhaps a foretaste of what will eventually happen on a far bigger scale.

Cleverly, with all the erudition and wisdom of his “McDegree” in Hospitality Management, explains that firing rockets etc at civilian habitations is “terrorism”. Unless, of course, the shooters are British or American (or Israeli), and the civilians Palestinian Arabs, Iraqis, Afghans, Serbs or (in WW2) Germans etc…

I have to admit that I would never have guessed that the Arabs would be able both to co-ordinate such attacks and also keep the date and time of them secret. Presumably, the Israelis were also not expecting this.

Quelle surprise…

Again, quelle surprise— Israel almost always hits civilian targets.

In one or two decades, something a hundred times greater will probably happen, whatever Israel now does. Israel is doomed.

If the Palestinian Arabs were to create very deep tunnels, coming to the surface somewhere in Central Israel, it might be a gamechanger.

I seem to recall that the KGB had a directorate mainly tasked with digging tunnels. I wonder where those people are now.

Maybe the 15th? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KGB#Directorates.

Possible/plausible “conspiracy theory”: the Israeli ruling circles knew of the Hamas plan, but allowed it to happen, “throwing under a bus” their own Jewish inhabitants, in order to be able invade Gaza as a form of “self-defence”. That is what, mutatis mutandis, Roosevelt did before and after Pearl Harbor.

The Israeli population must be panic-stricken.

If the term “war criminal” means anything, here it is. Untermensch.

Look at the Old Testament. They started ethnic cleansing that long ago.

What is important about the events of the past 24 hours is not the statistical rate of attrition, not the damage done, and not even which side eventually “wins” in the short term (bearing in mind Israel’s huge military superiority, that can hardly be in doubt), but the fact that an incursion like that seen has happened at all.

Hamas has broken something now— the sense of effortless Israeli military might, and the idea that any invasions or incursions into Israeli territory will be slight, only in one area, and easily repulsed.

In the longer term (i.e. after 2023), that may prove to be the most significant fact about these events. The Palestinian Arabs now know what is or might be possible, no matter what Israeli/Jewish repression follows the current events.

This may just be the beginning of the end for Israel.

FORMER British MI6 agent Alastair Crook has said that Ukrainian soldiers will start refusing to carry out an order to launch a new offensive if President Volodymyr Zelensky issues it on his return from the United States.

Kruk put forward the assumption that it will look like this: Zelensky addresses his generals with the words: “We must continue […] and break through the Russian defenses.” So he turns to his generals and realizes that none of them will follow him in this. Kruk estimates that the Ukrainian army is exhausted and that there is no продавница where Zelensky can buy new troops…

MI6 agent A. Crook“? Buyer beware, I suppose…

Thousands of Ukrainian men who are recognized as partially fit for military service will be drafted into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Russia cannot “lose” this war, whatever happens (unless there is a palace revolution in the Kremlin).

The best solution is for Russia to retain Crimea, take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and also retain or take all of the coastal regions of the Black Sea and Sea of Azov to a depth of (arguende) 50 miles, including the city of Odessa. Kiev can either be taken by Russia or operated as a condominium, or maybe as a “free city” not fully controlled either by Russia or by a rump Ukrainian regime based (probably) in Lvov.

I covered this on the blog yesterday, concentrating on the linkage between the Secretary of State (Caroline Dinenage) and her husband (Mark Lancaster, life peer, former Con MP, Major-General in the Reserves, and former second-in-command of the Army’s 77 Brigade, which operates around online disinformation etc): https://ianrobertmillard.org/2023/09/21/diary-blog-21-september-2023-with-material-about-freedom-of-expression-russell-brand-caroline-dineage-and-77th-brigade/.

One in 12 people in Germany shares a right-wing extremist worldview, according to a new study published on Thursday.

The research by Friedrich Ebert Foundation has found that the number of people with far-right views has significantly increased in the past two years, and has exceeded 8%.

In the foundation’s 2020/2021 survey, less than 2% of the respondents had clearly expressed support for right-wing extremist views.

Researchers said the consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war, skyrocketing energy prices, and high inflation are creating challenges for the democratic parties in the center, and strengthening the far-right.

Insecurities and conflicts over who gets what and how much, are providing a gateway for right-wing extremist ideologies and anti-democratic attitudes,” the researchers said in a summary of their report.

According to the survey, trust in the institutions and in the functioning of democracy in Germany has fallen to below 60%.

The number of those who see themselves more to the right of the democratic center has significantly increased, from 9% to 15.5%.

More than 16% of those surveyed approved xenophobic statements, while 5.7% expressed antisemitic views. Some 4% played down crimes committed by Hitler and praised Nazi ideology or policies.”

In 1928, the NSDAP was voted for by only 2.6% of German voters nationally. By 1932, that had grown to over 33%, and by 1933 to nearly 44%. With God, all things are possible.

At present, there is no suitable party or leader known to the people (the same is true in the UK), but “cometh the hour, cometh the man“…
