  55. <p><strong>Mainstream media headlines from the last 24 hours are proclaiming that “ISIS” has taken<br />credit for a mass slaughter at a performance venue in Moscow, killing dozens.<br />Just why ISIS would be moved to strike Russia, perhaps the leading country to<br />unambiguously disapprove the accelerating genocide in Gaza, is either 1) a puzzle wrapped in<br />an enigma, or 2) an operational detail overlooked by the self-styled geniuses of proxy-<br />geopolitics who have so little interest in ethical principles or boundaries that hitting Russia<br />until she finally responds with nuclear strikes on the west is looking like the playbook.<br />Twitter is alive with guesses about the Moscow gunmen’s paymaster: CIA, MI6 or Mossad?<br />The brutality of this new false-flag (if false-flag it is, and I assume it to be), shows how little<br />constrains the unprincipled, and hints at how far they are prepared to go.</strong></p>

  67. <p class="has-medium-font-size">Harold Pinter’s play <em>Betrayal </em>uses the striking literary device of reverse-chronology to<br />illuminate the logic that drives events. The play begins with a scene of the denouement toromantic rupture, and moves through to a portentous last/first scene of main characters<br />making electrifying eye-contact for the first time. Reverse-order compels the audience to<br />process each subsequent new scene of before through the filter of what he already knows<br />comes after.<br />This is very much the sensation of retrospective truth-seeking in our current “low, dishonest<br />decade” in the Empire of Lies, when the glitches-in-the-simulation of the parade of headlines<br />(like ISIS nonsensically attacking Moscow right now) forcing us to work backwards (didn’t<br />the US and UK embassies announce a coming “terrorist attack” two weeks ago?) will reveal<br />the onion-layers of machinations and preparatory propaganda that have brought us to where<br />we are.<br />That the public largely miss those machinations and brainwash seems to be accomplished<br />through the hypnotic effect of key summary phrases, repeated endlessly (“safe and effective,”<br />“no evidence of fraud,” “love is love”) by Experts, politicians, and media figures until they<br />ring in our own heads as if they originated there.<br />The below discussion of this pattern centres on Crimea, whose restoration to Russian<br />sovereignty is just marking its ten-year anniversary. Taking a closer look at Crimea is<br />moreover suggested by its recent, “random” triple-mention by the technocracy’s war-making<br />apex.<br />To neutralise the phony summary phrases that are circulating (e.g., “Crimea is Ukraine”), I<br />will in the following essay first discuss the on-the-ground reality of the place, and then walk<br />us backwards through a case-study of how the sloganizing hypnosis which appears as a<br />disembodied voice-of-truth, is perpetrated in fact by the Narrative-spinners of, in this case,<br />NATO and the Biden White House, and promulgated by conniving news outlets and Experts.<br />To begin, French President Emmanuel Macron gave a television interview on 14 March 2024<br />ostensibly to massage the throat of the French public into swallowing indigestible idiocy<br />about a NATO ground-war in Ukraine, into which interview Macron unassumingly dropped<br />the nugget that “lasting peace” required bringing Crimea under the control of (an<br />economically and politically shattered) Ukraine. (Wait, what?)<br />The purpose of last weekend’s (16 March) Ukraine blitz-visit by UK Defence Minister Grant<br />Schapps and army commander Tony Radakin was “reported” by the anointed Sunday Times:<br />to urge President Volodymyr Zelenskyy (as if it were his decision) to “keep defense in the<br />east, and focus on strikes on Crimea.” (Huh?)<br />Thirdly came the US chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Rhode Island<br />Democrat Jack Reed, in remarks to the press on 18 March. Jammed into the last paragraph of<br />reportage (whose headline refers to submarine readiness, of all things) was this: “Supplying<br />Ukraine will result in their ability in 2025 to launch ‘another offensive operation which<br />hopefully gets them to the point where they really fully cover Crimea with fires [sic!]’ to<br />‘hopefully force [the Russians] to the [negotiating] table’.”</p>

  71. <p>No one who’s been paying attention will see this triple-bill of threats to Crimea as events that<br />are unconnected to each other; or will fail to suspect they are a flag run up a pole signalling<br />more, and potentially far more serious, NATO strikes on Crimea (whether nominally<br />executed by the Kiev government or not is immaterial). Below, I will trace the<br />US/UK/NATO fingerprints on the manufacture of ersatz public consent to the false<br />proposition that a non-Russian Crimea is the linch pin to a just resolution of the Russia-<br />Ukraine conflict.<br />Crimea’s apparent new prominence could imply something of a shift in p.r. strategy away<br />from the bleak spectacle of the main frontline in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. And by “main<br />front-line,” I do not refer to the info-war frontline &#8212; bombardment of western publics with<br />propaganda mythology and relentless demands for “more money!” in the interest of western<br />arms producers and the western politicians who grow fat on them. Rather, I mean the tragic<br />mess on the ground in which Russia is slowly-but-surely meat-grinding through Ukrainian<br />armed forces flung its way, in order to recover what it can of the southeast strip of real estate,<br />populated primarily by ethno-linguistic Russians, that Lenin “gave” the infant state of<br />Ukraine in the 1920s (see pale blue portion in historical map, and March 18, 2024 map of<br />war-progress, both below).</p>

  91. <p>In contrast to the mainland’s ongoing muddy slog of death and dismemberment in<br />suspiciously fortified (if nonetheless fallen) villages like Avdiivka or Bakhmut, the dangling<br />peninsula of Crimea &#8212; one can hear the MIC/Cabal cackling in its infinite cynicism &#8212; is a<br />bite-sized target whose capture (or obliteration, it’s all the same to them, viz.: “really fully<br />cover Crimea with fires,” wtf) would be a delightful black-eye to Russia precisely when the<br />US/UK election seasons badly need a tonic of just this sort.</p>

It, famously, holds the great, deep, and protected warm-<br />water port and Russian strategic asset of Sevastopol, home to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet since<br />its 18 th century victory against the Ottoman Empire, providing as well some 30 other deep-<br />water harbours, access to the Mediterranean and Middle East (Syria’s Tartus), and ensured<br />dominance over Russia’s regional sphere-of-influence (from Transdniestria around to the<br />Caucasus).</p>

In the mayhem of WWII, the<br />Soviet government, suspecting collaboration with the Germans, abruptly ridded the peninsula<br />of most of its Crimean Tatar inhabitants, who had in any case been treading on thin ice since<br />showing less than full enthusiasm for the Bolshevik project in the late 1920s. Crimean Tatars<br />were finally rounded up en masse in 1944, packed into cattle cars, and sent in the direction of<br />Uzbekistan – see how they disappear off the population chart below. Russian-ethnic and<br />Russian-speaking people have dominated the peninsula numerically since 1917. By 2014,<br />Russian-speaking Russian ethnics were upwards of 75% of Crimea’s roughly 2.25 million population, which has since the end of the USSR voted along with the rest of the southeastern<br />half of Ukraine for Moscow-leaning parties and politicians.</p>

  113. <p>(source: pro-Ukrainian <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ygHxZgij9A" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ygHxZgij9A</a>)<br />The 1992 dissolution of the Soviet Empire removed Moscow’s ability to dictate terms to<br />vassal states. This gave meaning to the heretofore meaningless fact of the Black Sea Fleet’s<br />base being officially located in Ukrainian territory. Moscow was, post-1992, obliged to<br />negotiate leasing terms with an independent Kiev. While this was complicated enough with<br />successive unreliable Ukrainian governments (the 1997 agreement was supposed to last until<br />2017 but had to be renegotiated in 2009, for instance), the CIA’s 2014 Maidan coup forced<br />Moscow to confront losing the base entirely. To NATO.<br />At that moment, as described by editor at then-influential dissident-leaning radio station Ekho<br />Moskvy, Aleksey Venediktov, President Vladimir Putin’s dilemma was simple and stark: to<br />do nothing and let the base potentially pass to new masters, or to see the historical moment<br />for what it was, act in Russia’s national interest, take possession of the base, and, with this,<br />suffer an extended period of withering international opprobrium. Putin chose the latter<br />course, though he also tried to mitigate criticism both within Russia and without by holding a<br />popular referendum on Russian sovereignty. Putin moreover has since 2014 poured into<br />Crimea some $20 bn in infrastructure funding – resources which had not been forthcoming<br />from prior disorganised and corrupt Ukrainian governments &#8212; to build the Kerch Bridge to<br />the Russian mainland, a new airport, hundreds of kindergartens, road and train improvements,<br />and water supply. (Ukraine blocked Ukraine-sourced water upon Crimea’s vote for Russian<br />sovereignty.)</p>

  117. <p>In 1954, Nikita Khrushchev notoriously “gifted” Russian Crimea to Ukraine, most plausibly<br />as a backhander to Ukrainian figures (like Oleksiy Kyrychenko) who helped him emerge<br />from the jar of scorpions as primer inter pares of the Communist Party leadership after<br />Stalin’s death. This, combined with the demographic picture and the impact of the post-2014<br />Russian investment, surely puts the lie to the insistence by Western “authorities” that Crimea<br />is historically or legally or politically Ukrainian. It is not.<br />Why the potential serious targeting of Crimea alarms me personally, a non-Russian/non-<br />Ukrainian, so viscerally (and why I am alert to hints of its intended doom) is that Crimea,<br />frankly, is a wondrous fairytale place. It is a pearl of the Black Sea, with remnants of an<br />exotic former seat of the Crimean khanate and of extinct Greek and Genoese settlements, its<br />balmy imperial palaces extolled by Mark Twain, its champagne vineyards, its steep hills<br />majestically overlooking the sea, its miniature-valley town of Novy Svet (New World) where<br />three decades ago back-packing friends and I enjoyed delicious mussels plucked from the<br />rocks and poached in sea-brine over a campfire.<br />But now that Crimea seems to be moving fully into the cross-hairs of an evil force that shrugs<br />at, for instance, culpability for 500K dead Iraqi children, let’s walk backwards, Harold Pinter-<br />fashion, to see how Crimea may have always been in those cross-hairs, but we were not<br />meant to notice.</p>

  121. <p><strong>SMO CASUS BELLI: WEAK, IF AUDACIOUS, UKRAINIAN CLAIMS TO CRIMEA</strong><br />Let’s examine how Crimea has figured in the course of the current war. The peninsula has<br />already been targeted by Ukrainian/NATO firepower multiple times. Russia’s Sevastopol HQ<br />was hit during a meeting of top-brass just last September (though expectations of important<br />casualties were disappointed). The Kerch Bridge linking the peninsula to the Russian<br />mainland was struck and damaged last July 2023 and before that in October 2022.<br />In the Vilnius NATO Summit’s communiqué issued in the middle of last year, 11 July 2023,<br />ensconced in its seventh paragraph’s laundry-list of bizarrely dishonest and demonising<br />invective (including DeepState favourites: accusations of sex-crimes and crimes against<br />children), we find the following sentence: “We do not and will never recognise Russia’s<br />illegal and illegitimate annexations, including Crimea.” (Mark this wording, you will hear<br />it again.)<br />Six months before that, in an 18 January 2023 piece, the New York Times (commonly<br />understood to be a channel used for State Department messaging, much as the Washington<br />Post is understood to deliver messages for the CIA into the public discourse), announced a<br />lamentable strategic pivot as it became obvious that a reintegration of Crimea into Ukraine<br />could be impossibly costly, but striking and damaging Crimea to cause pain to Russia<br />remained a cost-effective alternative. The Hill summarises the NYT piece (which is behind a<br />paywall) thusly: “While the U.S. has long held that Crimea is still Ukrainian territory, there<br />has been little appetite to arm [Ukraine] with the resources to mount an offensive to regain control But now American officials are starting to concede that Ukraine may need to strike Crimea, according to the Times.”</p>
  122.  
  123.  
  124.  
  125. <p>  Apparently “American officials” were just catching up, as four months before, in September<br />2022, Newsweek “reported” that then-Ukrainian head of military forces Valeriy Zaluzhnyi<br />(removed in February 2024) was already keen to make Crimea the physical target of<br />Ukraine’s 2023 offensive.<br />Further back, right on the brink of the war’s February 2022 outbreak, consider the curious<br />case of German vice-admiral Kai Achim Schnbach. While visiting a defense studies institute<br />in India in late-January 2022, Schnbach made two fairly banal observations in a recorded<br />seminar. These comments created a brief-but-intense diplomatic furore pushing Schönbach<br />not only to walk his comments back and renounce them, but also to tender his resignation,<br />instantly accepted.<br />Deutsche Welle excerpted Schönbach’s remarks as follows:<br />&#8220;What [Putin] really wants is respect… And, my God, giving someone respect is low cost,<br />even no cost. … It is easy to give him the respect he really demands [as a head of state] —<br />and probably also deserves,&#8221; Schönbach said, calling Russia an old and important country.<br />Schönbach… added that &#8220;the Crimean Peninsula is gone: It will never come back — this is a<br />fact.&#8221; <br />I find it unlikely in the extreme that Schönbach would have so blithely made the comment<br />about Crimea being now indisputably and irretrievably under Russian sovereignty if he<br />thought it would be career-ending. Moreover, one must assume that the subject would have<br />arisen in conversations between naval head Schönbach and his colleagues, and that his<br />assumption that his views were relatively uncontroversial and broadly-held would have come<br />from such conversations.<br />If we scroll back further, it is in 2021, the full year before the war, where we see what looks<br />like the new Biden Administration’s low-profile but intense stoking of conflict with Russia<br />over Ukraine, poking the Russian bear using specifically the stick of Crimea. This began<br />with January’s issue of Foreign Affairs magazine (the voice of the Establishment) containing<br />an article by Michael McFaul purporting to outline America’s new, déjà-vu policy towards<br />Russia: neo-containment, with cringeworthy pseudo-butch reference to aiming for Russia’s<br />“soft underbelly.”<br />Once the post-Trump regime was fully restored to power, within weeks of Biden’s January 20<br />inauguration, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the actor-comedian drafted into presidential politics on a<br />peace ticket, was moved on 26 February, 2021, to sign a decree &#8220;On Certain Measures Aimed<br />at Deoccupation and Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territory of the Autonomous<br />Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol,&#8221; (the so-called “Crimea Platform”) followed<br />on 11 March, 2021 by a decree that Ukraine would indeed follow through and “reintegrate”<br />Crimea into its territory.</p>
  126.  
  127.  
  128.  
  129. <p>US Secretary of State Antony Blinken backstopped Zelensky’s war-cry with the following<br />press statement (reproduced below in full), cunningly issued on February 25, a day before<br />Zelenskyy signed his own initial decree, and full of ludicrous and easily disproven claims:</p>

  141. <p>As I wrote just before Russia’s 2022 invasion, Zelenskyy’s 2021 out-of-the-blue declaration<br />as a clearly militarily-inferior Ukraine challenging its superpower neighbour to war over a<br />piece of militarised territory whose population has moreover expressed a clear preference<br />against subordination to Ukraine is simply irrational as a unilateral act, nor can it be seen as<br />anything but a declaration of war against Russia. In response – and to guarantee that<br />Zelenskyy’s foolhardy gambit for Crimea would not materialise – Russia dispatched a<br />hundred thousand troops to relevant borders, for which Russia was then roundly castigated by<br />the self-styled defenders of the “rules-based order.”<br />Here, an excerpt from the June 2021 NATO Summit communiqué (fully eight months before<br />the onset of armed hostilities):<br />&#8216;We strongly condemn and will not recognise Russia’s illegal and illegitimate annexation of Crimea [which<br />had taken place fully seven years before], and denounce its temporary [sic] occupation.  The human rights<br />abuses and violations against the Crimean Tatars and members of other local communities must end.  Russia’srecent massive military build-up and destabilising activities in and around Ukraine have further escalated<br />tensions and undermined security.  We call on Russia to reverse its military build-up and stop restricting<br />navigation in parts of the Black Sea.  We also call on Russia to stop impeding access to the Sea of Azov and<br />Ukrainian ports.  We commend Ukraine’s posture of restraint and diplomatic approach in this context.  We seek<br />to contribute to de-escalation.  We are also stepping up our support to Ukraine.&#8217;  <br />(Seeking to “de-escalate…. [while] stepping up support to Ukraine” would appear to be an<br />inconsistent, not to say incoherent, strategy.)<br />That June 2021 NATO pronouncement was followed barely three months later, on 1<br />September 2021 (again, still well before the February 2022 outbreak of hostilities) by the<br />below statement from the Biden White House, which, grotesquely, blames Russia for the<br />casualties that Ukraine’s shelling had inflicted since 2014 on the Donbass civilian population,<br />ridiculously suggests that Russia has “destabilised Europe,” stands by Kiev’s provocative<br />declaration of intent to retake Crimea (hidden now behind the declaration’s obfuscatory<br />“Crimea Platform” nickname), and exercises the categorical and anti-diplomatic phrasing<br />used in the July 2023 Vilnius NATO Summit: “We do not and will never recognize<br />Russia’s…annexation of Crimea”</p>

  149. <p>To fully appreciate how far from common sense the Biden-NATO consensus carries us, it is<br />sufficient to sandwich the above between vice-admiral Schönbach’s 2022 supposed heresies<br />(“the Crimean Peninsula is gone: It will never come back — this is a fact”) for which he was<br />so severely punished, and some private after-dinner remarks made by President Donald<br />Trump in 2018 and leaked to two Buzzfeed writers, one a well-known promoter of the<br />Russia-collusion conspiracy hoax, Julia Ioffe. Trump’s comments were reported with the</p>

  153. <p>intention of shaming him for outrageous simple-mindedness, but the effect is rather the<br />opposite:<br />President Donald Trump told G7 leaders that Crimea is Russian because everyone who lives there speaks<br />Russian, according to two diplomatic sources.<br />Trump made the remarks over dinner last Friday during a discussion on foreign affairs at the G7 summit in<br />Quebec, Canada, one of the diplomats told BuzzFeed News.<br />The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak on the matter.<br />Russia invaded and then annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, leading to widespread international<br />condemnation and sanctions. The move also directly led to Russia being kicked out of the then-G8. Russian<br />President Vladimir Putin defended Russia’s intervention in Crimea at the time, saying that he had the right to<br />protect Russian citizens and Russian speakers in Ukraine.<br />During the dinner, Trump also seemed to question why the G7 leaders were siding with Ukraine. The president<br />told leaders that &#8220;Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world,&#8221; the source said.<br />It is unclear whether Trump’s comments were throwaway remarks said in jest, or whether he was signaling a<br />radical departure from current US foreign policy….”<br />The writers cannot resist chortling into their sleeves – imagine a US president thinking<br />Russian-speakers might not choose to submit to rule by a highly corrupt government that is<br />hostile to Russian-speakers! What a clown! Perhaps he only spoke “in jest”…?<br />Trump in 2018 was repeating a view for whose divergence from the orthodoxy ABC News<br />had previously tried to shame him during election year 2016:</p>

  160. <p>At that point in end-July 2016, pundit Anatoly Karpin wrote a very persuasive piece<br />compiling data from “the most prominent polls and referendums ever held that directly or<br />indirectly queried Crimeans on their attitudes towards Russia and Ukraine, along with the<br />performance of the single most ‘Russophile’ option in each case.” Karpin concluded Donald<br />Trump “is right and cannot be stumped.”<br />Of course, we can extend this walking backwards business indefinitely (look at how Vladimir<br />Putin, in the famous interview, dragged Tucker Carlson all the way back to – what was it? &#8212;<br />the 14 th century?) But let’s stop with this 2014 broadcast from just after the 2014 referendum<br />and annexation of Crimea by Russia.<a href="https://twitter.com/i/status/1769916509025873942"> <mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><em>Let’s ponder what the journalist calls</em></mark> </a>“NATO and the<br />US’s unhealthy interest in Crimea” while we marvel at a bullet dodged.<br /><br />Bottom line: the idea that Crimea will be peeled away from Russia and “restored” to Ukraine<br />is idiotic from every angle. Any “expert” or political figure using that plan to hold Crimea<br />hostage to some magic alternative to Ukrainian defeat in its current armed conflict with<br />Russia, and anyone wishing to damage Crimea in pique over what is in fact NATO’s<br />humiliation, is a criminal. The real question to answer is: will these criminals prevail?</p>

  164. <p>That a vast global public, in its ignorance, can be hypnotised into supporting or at least<br />abiding atrocities is proven in the starkest terms at this very moment by events in Gaza. That<br />it will happen again with Crimea is ominously suggested by the three officials quoted at the<br />top of this essay. And that it would be just one element of a truly colossal crime (including<br />the eradication of Russian political independence, and murder of the idea of international<br />justice itself) could be indicated by the below announcement by the hanging judge who will<br />soon preside over the International Criminal Kangaroo Court:</p>

  221. <p><strong>The World Bank Group&#8217;s largest shareholder, the United States</strong> has a long history of supporting the Bank Group&#8217;s mission and addressing development challenges of vital importance through its support of Bank Group programmes.</p>
  222.  
  223.  
  224.  
  225. <p>The Bank&#8217;s financial reserves come primarily from funds raised in the financial markets, plus from <strong>borrowing countries themselves when they pay back their loans.</strong> </p>
  226.  
  227.  
  228.  
  229. <p>The World Bank and the IMF remain allegedly distinct. That is, whereas &#8220;<strong>the Bank is primarily a development institution, the IMF is a cooperative institution that seeks to maintain an orderly system of payments and receipts between nations</strong>&#8220;</p>
  230.  
  231.  
  232.  
  233. <p>These official distinctions are, to all intents and purposes, complete fantasy: both institutions present the $US as a hegemenous weapon to control the loyalty or otherwise of European, Second and Third World national policies.</p>
  234.  
  235.  
  236.  
  237. <p>And Ms Mordaunt sits on its Executive Committee. Here&#8217;s what she&#8217;s had to say for herself since she signed up for Globalist monopolism in 2017. These extracts are from the formative 2018 Jolly in Bali&#8230;the highlights and brackets are mine.</p>
  238.  
  239.  
  240.  
  241. <p>&#8220;The international community has set itself ambitious Global Goals and has just 12 years left to deliver them [note here the casual acceptance of New World Order completion by 2030]&#8230;.Rapid population growth and rising  aspirations are outpacing job opportunities [genocidal Cull]&#8230;Rising temperatures are increasing vulnerability [buying into the global warming fantasy]&#8230;.Technology provides developing countries with the opportunity to leapfrog over traditional economic paths straight into a digital economy&#8230;.we would like to see the Bank put the right enablers in place – education and affordable, inclusive and secure internet access [digitalised money and acceptance of the Smartphone in driving this by being sold at cost price&#8230;as highlighted here at The Slog] &#8230;.The UK looks forward to working with the WBG, its shareholders and the international community to<br />ensure that we are working together to address these challenges and opportunities so that we remain on<br />track to meet our ambitious goals [You might be looking at these goals Penelope Ducky, but the rest of us aren&#8217;t].</p>
  242.  
  243.  
  244.  
  245. <p>And &#8211; as if you suspected otherwise &#8211; Ms Mordaunt is a signed up regular attendee at the World Economic Forum in Davos:</p>

  260. <p>But here&#8217;s the snooty parochialism that truly gets my goat when the Western &#8220;Democracies&#8221; start talking down to the likes of the Moscow when one compares what Vlad the Lad inherited, what he has given RF citizens in the context of the latter Tsarist decades and 70 years of paranoid USSR Stalinist secrecy, and what has been so easily given up  by our own electorates since 2014. Do the maths, and you cannot help grasping why Putin demands respect from this tiny and unelected 0.03% of unelected surveillance apparatchiks in the West who have removed more Citizen Civil Rights in eleven years than the Lenin&gt;&gt;Stalin&gt;&gt;Kruschev&gt;&gt;Breshnev years managed to mislay in 73 summers.</p>

  268. <p>Yesterday, Both CNN in the US and washed-up UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron dismissed the overwhelming RF electoral support for Putin&#8217;s continuation in office as &#8220;slightly in excess of 50%&#8221; [CNN &#8211;  a lie well short of the overseen figure of 77.44%]  and &#8220;not overseen by international observers&#8221; [Cameron &#8211; where were these scrutineers when 30% of voters in myriad US districts were voting at 4 am in the 2020 POTUS stitch-up?]</p>

  272. <p>Nevertheless, observe if you will the vicious banana republic behaviour of the media and judiciary in its blatant 24/7 attempts to find Trump guilty of everything from being funded by Moscow &#8211; and plotting to nail Bidens Jr and Sr on highly credible charges of depravity unbecoming for a nation&#8217;s First Family.</p>

  280. <p>Meanwhile, back in Merrie olde England, the only man in the World with a negative IQ score was trying to unsettle the distinguished American scholar Jeffrey Sachs, whom he considered &#8220;soft on Putin&#8221;. I admire Sachs because he is the ultimate bigotry-free empiricist who, if he thinks something is wrong, bad or peppered with lies, will say so without fear or favour. He also has no problem with changing his mind if new evidence comes to light; and in the context of baiting Putin, he prefers to see the issue from the Russian leader&#8217;s perspective, rather than killing the entire world in a nuclear war just to get a &#8216;good&#8217; interview.</p>

  286.  
  287. <p>You will probably have guessed by now that his interviewer yesterday was Smears Moron, a man who was a very naughty boy a few years back but is allowed to stay this side of the prison walls by acting as a State shill, bullying anyone who dares to tell the Truth. Sachs sussed his adversary out in about thirteen seconds and proceeded to treat him as a mildly bothersome educationally subnormal gnat. Perhaps he was being somewhat gnatist in that conclusion, although to this viewer it felt like a generous assessment.</p>
  288.  
  289.  
  290.  
  291. <p>&#8220;So, I asked you if you had any doubts about Putin, and you said &#8216;No&#8217;, right?&#8221; asked Piers the Prosecutum Tabloidis.</p>
  292.  
  293.  
  294.  
  295. <p>&#8220;No I didn&#8217;t&#8221; replied Sachs, &#8220;You asked what I though of him and I said he is smart&#8221;.</p>
  296.  
  297.  
  298.  
  299. <p>&#8220;Yet you couldn&#8217;t find anything negative to say about him, could you?&#8221;</p>
  300.  
  301.  
  302.  
  303. <p>&#8220;He has a difficult job, he has been in power for a long time, and has improved the Russian standard of living while extending freedoms far beyond anything offered by the USSR. I don&#8217;t believe in name calling.&#8221;</p>
  304.  
  305.  
  306.  
  307. <p>&#8220;But he runs the country like a gangster,&#8221; Morgan the Pirate said, with an audible ring of Holiness based on nothing.</p>
  308.  
  309.  
  310.  
  311. <p>Morgan has never done any research in Russia. He has never interviewed any Russian official in Russia. Piffle&#8217;s knowledge of the Ukraine-Russian conflict is exceeded by almost everyone and everything, including my former foreskin which was used for a skin graft when I was 23 years old. He is a very, very lucky man to have his freedom&#8230;a man referred to by the Chair of the Phone-hacking enquiry as a &#8220;profoundly unconvincing witness&#8221;. I can easily understand the Chair&#8217;s view, given this author listened one evening as Our Piers cracked jokes at a Press Gazette dinner about, um, the universal hacking of mobile phones, and his encyclopaedic grasp of the techniques involved. Three close chums of mine from the Street of Shame were also present at an office Party in which Morgan the Pirate played an extract from a Paul McCartney phone message to &#8220;Hoppy&#8221;. Ask Paul&#8217;s agent&#8230;she&#8217;ll give you the details after a couple of sherbets.</p>
  312.  
  313.  
  314.  
  315. <p>But this bonehead, whose genuine cerebral thinking mass is probably similar to that of a processed mushy pea, feels entitled to harass a man of eclectic knowledge, and slam him for trying to<strong> <em>understand</em></strong><em> </em> an adversary rather than hurling inflamatory, infantile playground insults.</p>
  316.  
  317.  
  318.  
  319. <p>It represents a tragic failure of the Fourth Estate to accept, in these incredibly dangerous times<mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">,<strong><em> accountability</em></strong></mark> for its willingness to play the 1930s<em> Iskra</em> and <em>Tass</em> role on the one hand, while retaining an obscene commitment to sales at any price.</p>

  334.  
  335. <p>It was with great sadness and not a little annoyance that I read yesterday of The Gambia&#8217;s bonkers decision to make it the first country to reverse a ban on the cultural and religious [but mainly disgusting] practice of female genital mutilation.  Astonishingly, MPs voted 42 – 4 to send the bill to a committee before returning it to Parliament for a third reading.</p>
  336.  
  337.  
  338.  
  339. <p>Since my arrival in The Gambia two years ago, I have been unstinting in my support for the live-and-let-live &#8220;mild&#8221; form of Islam that recognises the unique achievement here of mixed tribal and religious marriages that keep socio-cultural strife to a bare minimum.</p>
  340.  
  341.  
  342.  
  343. <p>But now, Almameh Gibba, the legislator who introduced the bill, is arguing that the 2015 ban violates citizens’ rights to “practice their culture and religion” in the in the largely Islamic country. “The bill seeks to uphold religious loyalty and safeguard cultural norms and values,” he said.</p>

  348.  
  349.  
  350. <p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at Almameh Gibba. The Gambia has two major allies-cum-sponsors &#8211; China and Saudi Arabia, the latter being one of the nastiest and most divisively Stone Age Islamist promoters of religious bigotry in the world.</p>
  351.  
  352.  
  353.  
  354. <p>And guess what: Gobby Mr Gibba is an activist member of the  Gambia-Saudi Arabia Friendship Group. Well I never.</p>
  355.  
  356.  
  357.  
  358. <p>Since roughly 2018, Saudi Arabia has tried very hard to cultivate an image of dropping its hardline cultural norms &#8211; like for example chucking queers off rooftops. But it&#8217;s not easy to believe in all such window-dressing when bigots like Almameh Gibba start interfering in the socio-cultural decisions of another country where it wields enormous influence purely on the basis of money. </p>
  359.  
  360.  
  361.  
  362. <p>Write in and let me know, fellow Gambians, what you feel about this retrograde proposal in general, and its sponsor  Almameh Gibba.</p>

  402. <p>Yesterday marked a milestone in moving The Slog further away from blatant social media/platform/twatterati/Google/legacy media censorship towards a level playing field for Cognitive dissidents. Under this Declaration of Independence &#8211; whereby commercial ISP promises are fulfilled and online fraud dumped in favour of guaranteed delivery of <em><strong>emails</strong></em> to registered followers – I can now be contractually certain that people who like The Slog no longer have to search in the trash, blocked, muted or whatever boxes that plague us all.</p>
  403.

  412.  
  413. <p>As I think you can see from the chart above, the dramatic impact of having access to stats that are real &#8211; as opposed to goblinised by the Secret State of inflexible ideology – proves beyond reasonable doubt that The Slog’s influence is far broader than the gargoyles would have you believe,</p>
  414.  
  415.  
  416.  
  417. <p>The key point I’m making here is that by far the safest way for you to ensure you get ‘clean’ and reliable access to this site is to send your <em><strong>email address</strong></em> to me at, as always,<strong><em> <a href="mailto:jawslog@gmail.com">jawslog@gmail.com</a></em></strong>.</p>
  418.  
  419.  
  420.  
  421. <p>I will not sell to you, pass on your address to the Grant Shapps tendency or invade your privacy: this is a promise I’ve kept without exception for nearly fifteen years. I might ask you now and again to donate to clean water borehole charities that want to wipe out malaria, but <strong>this</strong><em><strong> will not personally benefit me in any way and if you </strong></em><em><strong>don’t want to</strong></em><em><strong> donate, you won’t fall off the A-list.</strong></em></p>
  422.  
  423.  
  424.  
  425. <p>I have always been – and remain – a sworn opponent of mandates, ideology, ‘settled certainty’ and goose-stepping soldiers and media hacks that churn out the Party Line, being careful to always be On Message.</p>
  426.  
  427.  
  428.  
  429. <p>I oppose such behaviour because it is the ultimately dangerous antithesis to what I think of as the greatest driver of real human progress: the courageous dissidents who insist that planets aren’t flat, stars are not captured by planets, space-time is an illusion&#8230;and the Sirs and Dames elevated by the Convid19 caper and its Kate Bingham hypocrites are all Nine Dollar bills.</p>

  442.  
  443.  
  444. <p>Seeing is not so much believing as marvelling. Trump gave [on his website Truth Social] a response to the Biden SOTU that nailed Biden’s mistake right at the outset: “Joe is running away from his record,” he began, adding subject by subject with measured observation the brainless, incontinent <strong><em>spending mentioned here two days ago .</em></strong> And it’s a good job he has a social medium where he <em>can</em> get heard, because none of the networks ran any more than garbled excerpts from his SOTU demolition, the better to make them vaguely fit with the stream of hate they felt they had heard.</p>
  445.  
  446.  
  447.  
  448. <p>‘<em>Baseless claims….a stream of consciousness….unhinged wandering analysis….ridiculous accusations&#8230;“He is so angry and crazy!” “Don’t shake his hand, he’s been coughing into it the entire night”….a story of resentment, revenge and retribution….’</em></p>
  449.  
  450.  
  451.  
  452. <p>Not since the early German Nazi Party inner circle media-man Julius Streicher began his rabid anti-Semitic newspaper <em>Der Sturmer </em>in the late 1920s has media bigotry been so blatantly apparent and abhorrent. But in Amerika today, every major network and masthead title (CNN, NBC, The NYT, Wapo etc) is out to identify The Donald as a receptacle for 24/7 shit-showers. Trump has become New Normal Amerika’s eternal Jewboy&#8230;the uppity Yid to be chucked down the hot-pitch well-hole every time the crop fails.</p>
  453.  
  454.  
  455.  
  456. <p>In Britain meanwhile, to my mind the problem is we don’t have a Trump with street savvy and a commercial perspective. There is much titillating gossip about the Third Coming of Nigel Farage [of whom my sources expect to hear more soon] but the Labour leadership is of the same ilk as the Conservative Party, in that it seems to accept the inevitability of globalist Government. Speaking about the cuddly Davos Nazi Klaus non Schlaphead, Labour leader Keir Starmer said, “His people have new ideas and they seem to me like people I could work with”.</p>
  457.  
  458.  
  459.  
  460. <p>Not entirely impressed by his “vision”, I have to confess that – despite my innate pacifism – they seem to me like people I’d quite enjoy crushing under a steamroller. Point is, the French Vichy regime after 1940 had very similar views about an inevitable fascist future in which the “best” policy was to collaborate with it.</p>
  461.  
  462.  
  463.  
  464. <p>But I still maintain that we Limey and Yank awkward buggers have never had more in common socio-politically than we do today.The common factor, after all, is a massive cultural alienation of the voting Demos from those in the soi-disant elite&#8230;who insist they work for us, but don’t ‘get’ that we spotted long ago they work for themselves&#8230;and far distant power blocs. In equal measure.</p>
  465.  
  466.  
  467.  
  468. <p>I foresee three potential [and related] outcomes as genuine possibilities:</p>
  469.  
  470.  
  471.  
  472. <p>1. As the best way to swing support towards their ventriloquist’s Biden-dummy, I suspect the US Secret State will opt for full-frontal weapon and troop engagement against Putin in Ukraine&#8230;with ample use of false flags about which they will scream “murder most foul” in full falsetto voice.</p>
  473.  
  474.  
  475.  
  476. <p>2. There may therefore be a move to cancel the POTUS election on the spurious grounds of the GOP nominated candidate [Trump] being an enemy sympathiser likely to be interned under wartime house-arrest regulations at any time.</p>
  477.  
  478.  
  479.  
  480. <p>3. In EUNATO land, energy supply issues then come to the fore, with Germany reverting to its ‘Ostpolitik’ tradition and asking why it needs “allies” who blow up its oil supply pipelines. On the whole, a reasonable question.</p>
  481.  
  482.  
  483.  
  484. <p>From June 2022 to February 2024, Macron the Fickle has travelled 180 degrees from sympathy for the Russian Federation to full support for Washington’s demonisation of Putin as a wannabe Solar System Emperor. Informed commentators know perfectly well that Macron is the dove-turned-hawk because the crewcuts from Langley Virginia have all the dope on the joy he derives from playing the black oboe.</p>
  485.  
  486.  
  487.  
  488. <p>Cutting a long story short, the US Secret State as represented by EUNATO is going to leave behind what it always does when applying neocon foreign policy to the demands of neoliberal globalist business: a complete bloody mess.</p>
  489.  
  490.  
  491.  
  492. <p>Meanwhile, the equestrian bumholes in the dung-riddled Langley Stables’ <em>O</em><em>peration Getrump</em> persist in their quest to brand the former President Bestial Paedophile Murderous Rapist and Allround Caligula of this or any other century.</p>
  493.  
  494.  
  495.  
  496. <p>As a lifelong admirer of their best achievements, the continuing descent of the United States of America into risible status alongside the worst offenders of African and South American “politics” is a painful experience for an Amerophile like me who reached teenage and groovy status during the era of Ike, JfK, the New Frontier and Apollo astronauts walking on the Moon.</p>
  497.  
  498.  
  499.  
  500. <p>Given that Ecuador currently holds the record for <strong><em><a href="https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2023-09-04/drug-cartels-exploit-ecuador-banana-industry">stuffing banana shipments packed to the ceiling with Grade 1 cut heroin</a></em></strong>  – perhaps it would be appropriate if (once Trump has finally been fully registered as a sufferer from Non-Potus Forever syndrome) if the Biden Surveillance State did the decent thing and moved the US Capital to Quito, a City built on the ruins of the ethereal Inca civilisation. Who knows, lessons might be learned there.</p>
  501.  
  502.  
  503.  
  504. <p>But I digress: the Class Action criminal prosecution to find Donald Trump guilty of being a famous and powerful Alpha male who shagged a Porn Star continues. Odd, is it not, that this Groupie tried to fleece Trump and so the former President <em>might have been </em>forced to pay her off as a two-bit blackmailing hooker, but she is Shirley Temple the wronged woman, and he is Black Trump, the spawn-o’-the-devil ravisher.</p>
  505.  
  506.  
  507.  
  508. <p>Enough of the twisted reality of pc liberal fascists: new evidence has come to light suggesting that – shrieking horror of those from New York Villages and the London&#8217;s Islington-to-Barnes radical chique – Trump probably did nothing wrong. So The Donald’s lawyers want to investigate the new evidence about the star prosecution witness who seems keen to change his evidence. Again. And again.</p>
  509.  
  510.  
  511.  
  512. <p>The evidence includes records about former Trump lawyer turned prosecution witness Michael Cohen that are “exculpatory and favorable to the defense,” Trump’s lawyers say. Prosecutors say most of the newly turned over material is “largely irrelevant to the subject matter of this case”. But make no mistake re this one, it looks like Cohen’s testimony is, umm, falling apart.</p>
  513.  
  514.  
  515.  
  516. <p>So ignoring the usual CNN&gt;&gt;Wapo&gt;&gt;NY Times “these are just delaying tactics” BS, let’s take a closer look at Michael Cohen.</p>
  517.

  521.  
  522.  
  523. <p>And here he is, in all his charismatic glory. A few fab facts about Mikey:</p>
  524.  
  525.  
  526.  
  527. <p>1. He’s a lifelong Democratic Party member</p>
  528.  
  529.  
  530.  
  531. <p>2. But he betrayed that background from 2006 onwards, when he became GOP candidate Trump’s most “loyal” fixer.</p>
  532.  
  533.  
  534.  
  535. <p>3. He then betrayed the trust put in him by Donald Trump when he turned State’s Evidence in the case against his former generous employer of two decades standing.</p>
  536.  
  537.  
  538.  
  539. <p>4. Additionally, Cohen said he was prepared “to tell the FBI that Trump knew about and approved the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower at which a Russian delegation had offered dirt on Democrats to Donald Trump Jr. and other Trump campaign heavies”. But even CNN then had to admit that Cohen had “no paperwork, audio recordings or other hard evidence to back up his story that the then-candidate approved the said 2016 Trump Tower meeting”.</p>
  540.  
  541.  
  542.  
  543. <p>5. Now we are told that Cohen gave evidence that was withheld some time back….and is suggestive of Trump’s innocence.</p>
  544.  
  545.  
  546.  
  547. <p>Well just fancy that. In my callow youth when Perry Mason [portrayed by Raymond Burr] ruled the world of judicial drama, Cohen would’ve been dismissed as an “unreliable witness who changes his testimony more often than most people do their underwear”. But those days of Justice blind to the influence of naked power withered away long ago on both sides of the Pond.</p>
  548.  
  549.  
  550.  
  551. <p>So let’s get real here: the rotten apple scum will always rise to the top of the barrel when the only things guiding the Godless contents are greed, perversion &#8211; and fermentation of right-brain inability to discern Turds from Trustworthy libertarian Tenacity.</p>
  552.  
  553.  
  554.  
  555. <p>Mind-alteration allied to technological photographic cheating is, after all, the force driving widespread acceptance of New Normal surrealism.</p>
  556.  
  557.  
  558.  
  559. <p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
  560.  
  561.  
  562.  
  563. <p>I freely confess to myriad temptations in the past to take the piss when it comes to the Germans. My Weltanschauung on the period 1914-45 is they killed 13 members of my family and displayed little more than casual interest in the sanctity of other Nation’s borders</p>
  564.  
  565.  
  566.  
  567. <p>But for 17years, I was married into a German family.</p>
  568.  
  569.  
  570.  
  571. <p>Yet I am of the view that only the German people will, going forward, be able to lead the charge against Bidenite hegemony.</p>
  572.  
  573.  
  574.  
  575. <p>That conclusion is based on German common sense. The German nation looks immediately back at nefarious actions that cut off their access to vital energy, and ask themselves, “With allies like these, who needs enemies?”</p>
  576.  
  577.  
  578.  
  579. <p>The Bundesrepublik has no deranged philosophical argument with Putin, and it is well informed about the history of American placement of biolab weaponry close to the Ukraine/RF border.</p>
  580.  
  581.  
  582.  
  583. <p>Berlin is at daggers drawn with France on this issue. Plus ca change, mais plus reste la meme chose</p>
  584.  
  585.  
  586.  
  587. <p>The pervert Macron is under the cosh of the Amerikan unelected Secret State. The Bundesrepublik isn’t….and Alternativ fur Deutschland is growing in popularity.</p>
  588.  
  589.  
  590.  
  591. <p>A recent poll in Germany suggested overwhelming support for a US minding its own business.</p>
  592.  
  593.  
  594.  
  595. <p>This is very much the traditional and conservative, zero-meddling American Way embraced by Trump.</p>
  596.  
  597.  
  598.  
  599. <p>We must wait and see.</p>
  600.  
  601.  
  602.  
  603. <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
  604.  
  605.  
  606.  
  607. <p>But one institution not prepared to wait and see is, funnily enough, the British Army. Under what is described as &#8216;a rapid procurement undertaken by the MoD&#8217;s Defence Equipment and Support [DES]&#8217; since February 5th, the boundaries of Defence procurement have been dramatically expanded to produce an all time record fast delivery speed of 500 field support all-surface, all-weather trucks for around £300 million. [There goes another money tree.]</p>

  614. <p>But in fact, the delivery hasn&#8217;t only been very fast, it is part of  a broader emergency defence buying spree [The Rapid Procurement Project] that began just prior to Christmas in 2023, and will eventually acquire £45<strong><em> billion </em></strong>of cutting edge battle armaments. That&#8217;s expenditure of an entirely different order, and includes bot-driven field vehicles, top secret Boxer tanks, and over 300 Ajax and Challenger 3 vehicles critical to the British Army’s Future &#8211; introduced so the service can become &#8211; pay attention here folks &#8211; “more <strong><em>global </em></strong>in its perspective, its operations and its partnerships”. [The goes the Money Tree Orchard]. </p>
  615.  
  616.  
  617.  
  618. <p>This is an extract from an &#8216;advisory note&#8217; presented to a Cabinet Defence sub-committee in mid December 2023:</p>
  619.  
  620.  
  621.  
  622. <p class="has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>Russia continues to conduct highly effective strikes against Ukrainian forces on a scale designed to break Ukrainian morale, demonstrate to NATO that Ukraine lacks the ability to sustain its war effort against Russia, and that Russia will not tolerate overt foreign military intervention designed to weaken its defences</strong> </mark></p>
  623.  
  624.  
  625.  
  626. <p>Putin then went on to deliver the Russian Federation equivalent of the US SOTU address, in which he omitted any reference at all to the dust-up in Ukraine, and expressed his hope that 2024 would go down in Russian history as the year of recognising the multinational nature of its citizens and their loyalty to a regime that will defend Motherhood, family values, and Mother Russia <em>come what may. </em>It would be even-handed, I think, if I were to suggest that Vladimir Putin was proferring both a desire to be left alone alongside a thinly veiled threat suggesting that any and all attempts to upset that apple-cart would attract a metal-fist-in-velvet-glove response.</p>
  627.  
  628.  
  629.  
  630. <p>Within days, the UK army&#8217;s Rapid Procurement Project was set up. </p>

  686. <p>Life is a series of sliding doors: it&#8217;s odd how at times good comes from bad, as the Buddhists have it. Hitech issues involving impenetrable instructions have kept me out of any form of limelight, and thus unable to comment on Biden&#8217;s SOTU performance until now. But in the long run, I will wind up with far more access to the online commentary spectrum, and make most attempts at censoring The Slog a distant memory.</p>
  687.  
  688.  
  689.  
  690. <p>Last Friday, Joe Biden tried to position himself as a squeaky clean democrat and defender of the American way. The fact that he spent almost ninety minutes sounding like a warmongering  slimeball Demogogue didn&#8217;t do his Cause a lot of good. But dealing with the mendacious and impenetrable autism that is online software &#8221;progress&#8221; in 2024 &#8211; be in no doubt here &#8211; informed my response to Biden&#8217;s sneers and smears.</p>
  691.  
  692.  
  693.  
  694. <p>Why? Because the speech obeyed all the facets of the lie/complexity provenance I posit. Not an iota of evidence was on offer to support any of the wild claims made by this archetypal pervert at the rostrum protesting too much about what a democrat he is. He is the quintessential incarnation of the linguistic problem at the core of our culture &#8211; viz, a massive slurry of information available promising to clarify, but on closer examination obviously designed to mislead and obfuscate.</p>
  695.  
  696.  
  697.  
  698. <p>I call this practice INFOSHOP. That is to say, sort of like a perfectly innocent photo to which something foul has been digitally cropped in later to add a Satanic element <strong><em>that never was. </em></strong>One thinks here in particular of the Jan 6th &#8216;insurrection&#8217; and other complete myths along the way like Trump owing Putin money, raping half the women he meets etc ad nauseam. Going through Biden&#8217;s SOTU, one can observe how he adds an element of implied guilt in every accusation he utters, but not one iota of evidence is presented. </p>
  699.  
  700.  
  701.  
  702. <p>So we hear that Trump would be happy to &#8221;let Putin do what he wants [how would Sleepie know?] Putin won&#8217;t stop at Ukraine [says who?] Putin is a war criminal [why?], Donald Trump is a threat to democracy [how?]&#8230;on and on the BS goes&#8230;.but the missing piece in Biden&#8217;s cold warrior jigsaw of sly implication is always <strong><em>empirical support </em></strong>for any evidence of wrongdoing. The speech was a grab-bag of boo-terms like revolution, treason, 30 pieces of silver, violation of women, tax evasion, appeasement of demagogues and betrayal of American values. It has no mass, and it has no physical basis in fact because it is the output of a delusionally megalomanic brain rather than physical matter in this Metaverse.</p>

  709. <p>If this guy believes in progressing, a good start would be for him to accept that the USSR collapsed some time ago, this is not 1957 with Connie Francis finding lipstick on your collar, blackmailing French allies, and blowing up the oil pipelines of German allies is not the way to make friends and influence people&#8230;.and above all, a growing number of nationalities regard the US Surveillance State as a far greater threat than Vladimir Putin.</p>
  710.  
  711.  
  712.  
  713. <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
  714.  
  715.  
  716.  
  717. <p>The element in Biden Sr&#8217;s personal make-up that fits the NWO&#8217;s greedy hands like a glove is the persistent correlation between bullying megalomania, sexual depravity, familial dysfunction and hegemony control. One thinks of Clinton, one looks at the history of Macron, of Schwab&#8217;s neo-Nazi globalist &#8216;Stakeholding&#8217;, of Ursula von der Leyen, of Tony Blair the Cottager bisexual sociopath&#8230;and how every last one of these perverts has raked in millions of Dollars by launching things called &#8216;Foundation&#8217;, &#8216;Institute&#8217;, &#8216;Council&#8217;, &#8216;Endowment&#8217;, &#8216;Emergency&#8217; and other assorted nomenclatures suggesting Nor For Profit philanthropy. Nothing could be further from the Truth.</p>
  718.  
  719.  
  720.  
  721. <p>Somewhere down the line, for example, CNN awarded the Jewish psycho George Soros the plaudit &#8221;philanthropist&#8221;. If you want to be part of that obscenely inclusive definition, then next time you find yourself in a Nazi-created Jewish ghetto, remember to comply and obey at all times&#8230;and one day, you will be hailed as a hero &#8211; guaranteed.</p>
  722.  
  723.  
  724.  
  725. <p>After all, why be ugly when you could be sexy? Why be old when you could have eternal youth? Why be a Jew when you could be a member of the Herrenvolk? Why tell the Truth when you could lie your head off? Why investigate electoral malfeasance when your favoured candidate will lose if you do?</p>
  726.  
  727.  
  728.  
  729. <p>As for the last of those questions, the answer is both very simple and poignant: if the Judiciary refuses to take part in investigations of electoral injustice, then stop calling yourself a democracy . And if the Fourth Estate is easily cowed and bribed by State surveillance and BlackRockism,  then start calling yourself a rogue Totalitarian State.</p>
  730.  
  731.  
  732.  
  733. <p>It&#8217;s time the people in the white hats rooted out the Kennedy-killers once and for all. It&#8217;s time to ditch neoliberal economics and the permawar neocon foreign adventures designed to cover up its cannibalistic failure to be inclusive. You think the Hollow Man Hologram already owned by monopoly NWO globalists is <em>ever</em> going to do that? In your dreams: they own this figurehead in the Oval Office, this dysfunctional parent who can still crack a joke and throw out sly implications. But there&#8217;s a lot more to being a POTUS than that.</p>
  734.  
  735.  
  736.  
  737. <p>Fiscally, Economically, ethically and constitutionally, Trump is the last hope for the United States to be born again. As such, he represents an existential threat to the Generals, the Spooks, the Black Rocks, the &#8216;health&#8217; bureaucrats, and the genocidal peddlers of &#8221;emergency&#8221; fears from Fauci to Gates supposedly justifying holocaust on steroids. They use the ideas of Klaus Schwab, referring to his banal Nazism as &#8216;stakeholder capitalism&#8217;; they are inspired by the World&#8217;s only Nazi Jew Henry Kissinger and his regrettable references to &#8221;useless eaters&#8221;; and of course, the empty suit Uncle Tombama who first put all the elements of Amerika together to create the format for eternal DNC fascism:</p>

  742.  
  743.  
  744.  
  745. <p>Now you see &#8221;President&#8221; Biden, the thing is, this is a dinner that existed, was photographed, and is not an INFOSHOP: it happened, the guests include every dubious billionaire suspect from the US New World Order alliance&#8230;but above all, it is what we few Truthsayers left tend to call <strong><em>Evidence. </em></strong>We are, you know, sort of picky about such things. We do not of course know what was said; we can be sure of only one thing &#8211; the host was a former POTUS, and he had no qualms about being seen to be the host. It took place just after the 2020 Election, and not one of these attendees objected to a judicial refusal to look into the glaring evidence of Banana Republic ballot tampering.</p>
  746.  
  747.  
  748.  
  749. <p>But for those of use who are  empirically awake rather than BLM woke, there is no need to resort to implied guilt to manufacture a case; for us, only verifiable facts will suffice. What follows is the alternative to Bidenite Correctness based on nothing. It&#8217;s time to examine the First Term of Joseph P Biden based on full disclosure of destructive and controlling spendaholic policies, not  zero-proof captive media slur inventions about his predecessor.</p>
  750.  
  751.  
  752.  
  753. <p>As Trump left office in January 2020, the US monthly GDP stood at $22 trillion. The national debt was $17.2 trillion</p>
  754.  
  755.  
  756.  
  757. <p>As of  January 2024, the US monthly GDP was $28.1 trillion, but the national debt was $33.4 trillion.</p>
  758.  
  759.  
  760.  
  761. <p>So let&#8217;s just be clear about this: the  <strong><em>GDP</em></strong> rose by 27.3%, but the <strong><em>US debt</em></strong> rose by 74.1%. If creating jobs costs you 2.7 times the output of the job, this is the road to fiscal bankruptcy. The Democrats grasp this perfectly well: Joe Biden has the same brief as Rishi Sunak in Britain&#8230;that is, to destroy his country as part of the &#8221;irrefutable&#8221; NWO argument for totalitarian World Government by those who have a passion for systemic funny-money creation, but no compassion whatsoever for human beings and their innate preference for freedom.</p>
  762.  
  763.  
  764.  
  765. <p>It&#8217;s impossible for Biden to escape the mathematical consequences of incontinent spending while throwing huge amounts at a corrupt neo-Nazi in the Ukraine and an aggressor in the shape of Bibi in Israel &#8230;.which is why, of course, we didn&#8217;t hear anything about the realities of permawar in his Sportpalast Hitlerian SOTU rabble-rouser last week.</p>
  766.  
  767.  
  768.  
  769. <p>Out went Trump&#8230;.and in came Biden. Federal spending jumped from <strong>$4.45 trillion</strong> in 2019 to <strong>$6.21 trillion </strong>in 2023, according to the Congressional Budget Office. That&#8217;s a 40 percent increase in four years. But Biden and his minders care little for whether their crazy zero-commercial Dollar-Bill helicopter drops make any fiscal or economic sense at all: they are, literally, trying to buy popularity&#8230;.but the Trump streetwise American demographic isn&#8217;t buying the figments of their hegenomous group fantasies. They know that US sovereign debt threatens everything from their pensions via travel costs to retirement haven choices.</p>
  770.  
  771.  
  772.  
  773. <p>Of course I feel at one with such voters: we share the honour of being the much-maligned Babyboomers. I might be a limey in sub-Saharan Africa, but if I pick up my guitar and play <em>Goin&#8217; up to the Country</em> by Canned Heat, I&#8217;m a Yank in his mid Seventies just like them. And trust me, they get it.</p>
  774.  
  775.  
  776.  
  777. <p>Fact: the Biden administration has [in just 36 months] not just brought the Sovereign debt to a record level, it has done so at a speed far exceeding that of any other administration in American history.</p>
  778.  
  779.  
  780.  
  781. <p>The average US Main Street voter is not anywhere near as dumb as Biden and his fellow assassins would wish them to be. The milestone [millstone would be a more appropriate noun] comes just three months after the US national debt <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/20/investing/premarket-stocks-trading/index.html"><em>surpassed $33 trillion</em></a>, as the budget deficit — the difference between what the government spends and what it receives in taxes — ballooned at a rate one can only describe as Montgolfian.</p>
  782.  
  783.  
  784.  
  785. <p>Whichever way you cut it, baby boomers are grounded, sensible and don&#8217;t trust the adopted values of Bidenite Democrats. They know that Dollar destruction can only be avoided &#8211; and the USA restored to its pre-CIA megalomania &#8211; by voting for Radical Reality in the shape of Trump.</p>
  786.  
  787.  
  788.  
  789. <p>The way things look now, only a bullet can stop a Second Term for The Donald. 2024 is going to be the most unpredictable and dangerous year in this, the start of my 77th year on the planet.</p>
  790.  
  791.  
  792.  
  793. <p>But when it comes to ridding ourselves of those with genocidal tendencies, can there ever really be either prosecution &#8211; or, I suspect, even more important &#8211; forgiveness of those who continue to plan the eradication of we the Untermenschen not worthy of sharing Planet Earth with them?</p>
  794.  
  795.  
  796.  
  797. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Turkeys rarely vote for Christmas</h2>
  798.  
  799.  
  800.  
  801. <p>The Biden surveillance State knows it can&#8217;t win by obeying electoral rules on a level playing field, and we saw after 2020 how the Judiciary does the bidding of the unelected State at all times&#8230;..these latter, the same spooks to which the DNC is now joined at the hip.</p>
  802.  
  803.  
  804.  
  805. <p>There are multivariate burning issues here. We must ask, what are the alternatives now left to the Biden-figurehead State, given Trump looks more and more unbeatable? To be frank, they don&#8217;t look attractive for any of us.</p>
  806.  
  807.  
  808.  
  809. <ol>
  810. <li><strong>Grassy Knoll II.</strong> While the lunatics in Langley are not known for their imagination, even they wouldn’t be dumb enough to assassinate Trump. It was notable last week that the NYT to WaPo axis of treachery completely blanked the final verdict [ironically, using digital hitech ‘clean up’ visual/audio science] after sixty-one years to prove beyond reasonable doubt that there were three shooters in Dealey Plaza in 1963: one from behind, one from below right and one from slightly above left. There were five shots: one from behind, one parallel with the POTUS limo, and two from very close range at a lower level. The two close range shots match (a) the Zapruder moment recording slowdown of the motorcade (b) the exact directional location from the close-range roadside drainage grid that existed at that time, (c) the newly examined autopsy clues showing two frontal head-hits that sealed JFK’s fate and (d) the endless nearby witnesses who testified almost without exception that their overwhelming memory was <em><strong>the smell of cordite in the air.</strong></em> The Warren Commission dismissed this as ‘mass hysteria’&#8230;a cavalier conclusion suggesting that the Commission should henceforth be known as the Whitewash Commission.</li>
  811.  
  812.  
  813.  
  814. <li><strong>New Disguises.</strong> The overwhelming difference between 1963 and 2024 is that today, almost anything can be weaponised to neutralise and disguise. Today, you can ‘assassinate’ an opponent without the ‘A’ word ever being used. The Secret State can ensure death from viruses [by using bioweapons as ‘vaccines’] or give Trump a major heart attack via just one spiked drink from Big Pharma&#8230;for has not alcoholic Nancy Pelosi already told us that [<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/14/us/politics/trump-obese.html">via the New York Times – where else?]</a> Trump is morbidly obese? ‘Natural Causes’ is the new lone automobile ‘accident’ from the Arkansas school of ‘We are right and you are wrong’.</li>
  815.  
  816.  
  817.  
  818. <li><strong>Cancellation culture Escape Tunnels</strong>. This route feels to me like the most fruitful way forward for the those who insist that the Trump MAGA forces of darkness must be trampled into the very dust the spooks throw into our eyes. The weapon is faux <em><strong>emergency</strong></em>, and it comes in the following forms: there’s a Sovereign debt crisis across the World; there’s an all-out war because the evil Rasputin is on the march and so he must be contained; Disease X is rampant so voting represents too big a risk of infection; and evil overseas forces are hard at work trying to destroy the largely benign influence of a US Dollar hegemony. The shorthand for all of these is ‘Only the land of the Free can defend liberty and democracy by putting <em>patriotism</em> first’. Not too much later of course, the cry will be ‘Suspend democracy to defend Liberty’&#8230;or vice-versa.</li>
  819. </ol>
  820.  
  821.  
  822.  
  823. <p>These are the propagandised dangers being laid upon largely innocent Europeans and Africans: ‘There’s a war between Good Zelenskyy and Evil Putin….only total victory of Good over Evil will usher in a new Golden Age of American hegemony’; ‘The attempt by BRIC terrorists to replace the US Dollar’s ownership of freedom will result in totalitarian seizures of power by religious fanatics who despise Western libertarian values’; ‘Israel has a right to exist, and we must defend that or lose our access to powerful influence in the Middle East’.</p>
  824.  
  825.  
  826.  
  827. <p>Cue quote from Kissinger: ‘America does not have friends or enemies, only interests’.</p>
  828.  
  829.  
  830.  
  831. <p>That’s an unconsciously cynical summation of American values that Trump rejects out of hand.</p>
  832.  
  833.  
  834.  
  835. <p>Trump calls such global-policeman thinking ‘UnAmerican’&#8230;as indeed would most of his devoted followers. His call to action is unique in being primarily related to the survival of domestic US values. By contrast, he thinks, high-handed interference in the affairs of others will prove to be a disastrous policy doomed to unaffordable failure &#8211; while attracting only widespread global disapproval.</p>
  836.  
  837.  
  838.  
  839. <p>Joseph Permawar Biden wants to hide crooked neoliberal economic failure behind Gunboat diplomacy. Donald Trump – the one-off weirdly GOP democrat of The People – wants to clean up rigged markets, reduce the power of the Big Three share price controllers, chop off the balls of the Shadowy Secret State, and name names.</p>
  840.  
  841.  
  842.  
  843. <p>Biden wishes only to be a major beneficiary from the devaluation of real, hard earned money by Silicon Valley digital carpet-baggers.</p>
  844.  
  845.  
  846.  
  847. <p>The choice is yours: as of late this afternoon, the November contest is [based on pledge votes] officially between the radical eccentric reformer and the glib SOTU performer.</p>
  848.  
  849.  
  850.  
  851. <p>That leaves ‘only’ the bad guys to be brought under control and justice meted out, and the false emergency, pharma, banking, bourse and bioweapon killers to be removed. At the moment, how Nuremberg II would actually <em>work </em>is in the Too Difficult to Solve file.</p>

  882. <p class="has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>As Donald Trump edges nearer to the White House, the desperate US Surveillance/Psy-Op State looks on in  deluded determination as more and more voters in the West begin to question the dubious narratives we&#8217;ve been</strong> <strong>subjected to over the last five years. The Slog looks at why France&#8217;s Macron seems to be EUNATO&#8217;s hawk on the Ukraine &#8216;solution&#8217;, why his real masters are between a rock and a hard place in a cul-de-sac, and how the more desperate the US Secret State is, the more that spells danger for nearly a billion Europeans.</strong></mark></p>
  883.  
  884.  
  885.  
  886. <p>While previously a sacred collection of immutable ideological Truths &#8211; the myriad narratives about Covid19, vaccines, Wuhan, unexplained early deaths on a colossal scale, climate emergencies, lockdown nonsense, Ivermectin denialism, mask mandates and fish market batshit &#8211; it&#8217;s become increasingly obvious over the last few weeks that attitudes are shifting.</p>
  887.  
  888.  
  889.  
  890. <p>Two months ago, just one Independent MP in the UK House of Commons was telling the Truth about Convid. Now as of this afternoon, the number is 23 and it&#8217;s a Cross-Bench phenomenon. With the UK&#8217;s fall in living standards under the New Normalism of Sunakunt, resentment is building among older traditional Labour voters about Zelenskyy&#8217;s seemingly sole personal access to the remaining Theresa May Money Tree woodlands [which of course, as the Devil&#8217;s Daughter insisted, are a myth].</p>
  891.  
  892.  
  893.  
  894. <p>In 2022, fully 92 % of US physicians had a positive or very positive attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination.&nbsp;<br />Today, asking that question online takes one nowhere&#8230;.so I think we can hazard a guess as to the opinion shift that&#8217;s occurred; but just to confuse you further, spookily very similar research in 2022&nbsp; was carried out among German doctors, and the same number &#8211; 92% &#8211; emerged. It&#8217;s at this point that even the most exhausted, half-asleep researcher can&#8217;t help notice that <strong><em>the two pieces of research are in fact the same one: </em></strong>the German study was simply rebranded&#8230;and in the cause of the Good Lie, for two years Americans have been sold German Covid solidarity as being in perfect lock-step with Tony Fauci and his chums in Langley Virginia. (I think we can safely say right here that events during the Paris Summit fiasco pretty obviously give the lie to that one).<br />In my youth, we used to say &#8221;Knowledge is Power&#8221;. In my 2024 dotage, I say &#8221;Power fakes knowledge&#8221;. There&#8217;s a big difference between the two&#8230;.and it&#8217;s here above all that the main media have let us down: they have printed narratives about what the <strong>symptoms</strong> are, but tiptoed around the Swamp and the real <strong>causality</strong> on display. Now, the invented causes [if you will, the motives] are starting to be more broadly questioned: the suggestion that Sunak is some sort of village idiot, that Hunt thinks long-rejected theories about growth are nothing to do with personal citizen taxes, that C19 was naturally occurring, that Fauci worked with Wuhan to get philanthropic gain of function, that mRNA vaccines are &#8221;safe&#8221; and turbo-cancers &#8221;a myth&#8221;&#8230;.all of it <strong>[based on the data]</strong> is a giddy mixture of the risibly surreal and a non-stop perversion of actualities.<br />The depopulating gargoyles are in a race against time, they know it&#8230;.and it doesn&#8217;t just end there: also crumbling bit by bit is the alleged criminality of former President Donald Trump. The Swamp lost its keystone Supreme Court gambit<strong> </strong>of brazenly throwing Trump off the ballot for the &#8220;crime,&#8221; of which he was neither charged nor convicted, of &#8220;insurrection&#8221;. While I found it shocking how many states tried to crowbar Trump off the ballot, none succeeded&#8230;. driving a stake through the heart of this risibly obvious Banana Republic wheeze.</p>
  895.  
  896.  
  897.  
  898. <p>In turn, the weekend before last, <em><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/03/03/us/elections/times-siena-poll-registered-voter-crosstabs.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>a New York Times/Siena College poll</strong></a></em> showed President Biden falling 4 points behind Trump, with an additional three major surveys also showing Trump leading amid broad and deep dissatisfaction with the incumbent Hologram in the Oval Office.</p>
  899.  
  900.  
  901.  
  902. <p>In last Sunday’s&nbsp;<strong><em><a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/710089283/cbsnews-20240303-1-SUN#1fullscreen=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CBS News/YouGov poll</a></em></strong>, 45 percent said only Trump was physically healthy enough to serve as president, compared to 17 percent who said only Biden was. The only [odd?] problem for a Trump candidacy next November is his thus far track record of praising Pfizer &#8221;vaccines&#8221;&#8230;a legacy of his own Presidency, as he approved the use of them&#8230;.while trusting [wisely] in the efficacy of Ivermectin for his own treatment.</p>
  903.  
  904.  
  905.  
  906. <p>There are many faces on even the roughest of diamonds. But revisiting the previous paragraph, 45 +17 adds up to almost exactly two thirds of the American electorate. In short, 1 in 3 voters remain undecided. If they are to be either impressed or underwhelmed by <em>anything </em>between now and November, then it&#8217;s likely to revolve around winning or losing in Ukraine.</p>
  907.  
  908.  
  909.  
  910. <p>The Putin-is-Satan propaganda is thus being ramped up: censorship of any alternative opinion (on that <strong>or </strong>the Jan 6th &#8221;insurrection&#8221;, <strong>or</strong> discussion of how the Macronian summit is a US-led attempt to turn the screws on EUNATO and thus regularise EU troops active in Ukraine <em>after the event</em> &#8211; <strong>or</strong> perhaps most chilling, Congressional attempts to ban having doubts about rigging during the 2020 Potus election heist, <strong>or</strong> &#8211; Killary Glass-Ceiling doing CNN interviews saying that MAGA thinkers need to be &#8221;reprogrammed&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;on and on it goes.)</p>
  911.  
  912.  
  913.  
  914. <p>Slog&#8217;s Law states that four ors equal a foursome. What it isn&#8217;t folks &#8211; in any positive sense &#8211; is awesome.</p>
  915.  
  916.  
  917.  
  918. <p>Paint it Black: an Amerika just around the corner to make the Breznevian USSR seem like a stable Utopia by comparison.</p>
  919.  
  920.  
  921.  
  922. <p>We are back to symptom v <strong>cause</strong>, action v <strong>distraction</strong>,means v <strong>motive</strong>: the investigative journalistic gene in the West no longer goes anywhere near cause, distraction and motive. There is no point at all in having a Fourth Estate that serves a Corporacratic globalist New World Order as if&nbsp; it be merely a 21st Century Orwellian update of <em>The Ministry of Truth</em> crammed to the rooftops with Room 101s.</p>
  923.  
  924.  
  925.  
  926. <p><a href="https://therealslog.com/2019/01/27/the-sunday-essay-dissent-or-deny-care-or-cry-devolve-or-die/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em><strong>In 2019,</strong></em></a> I posted &#8216;Those who value liberty see <em>Nineteen Eighty-Four </em>as a warning. Those who call themselves &#8221;progressive&#8221; see it as a blueprint&#8217;.</p>
  927.  
  928.  
  929.  
  930. <p>So here is the Bottom Line: the US military/surveillance State&#8217;s motives remain the same:&nbsp;</p>
  931.  
  932.  
  933.  
  934. <p class="has-text-align-center">STRATEGY: to pursue the goal of unipolar hegemony</p>
  935.  
  936.  
  937.  
  938. <p class="has-text-align-center">TACTIC: to ensure the election of a POTUS figurehead in November 2024 completely under the control of the &#8221;military-technology-control&#8221; complex</p>
  939.  
  940.  
  941.  
  942. <p class="has-text-align-center">ACTION: Complete, swift victory in Ukraine</p>
  943.  
  944.  
  945.  
  946. <p>So forget the propaganda for a minute, and read this measured view of the &#8216;ACTION&#8217; aspiration from a former US diplomat steeped in the long-term cultural issues that shape both Russian thinking and the Ukraine issue: in a nutshell, the cast-iron source regards the defeat of Russia in Ukraine as a delusional myth:</p>
  947.  
  948.  
  949.  
  950. <p class="has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size"><strong><em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">&#8221;&#8230;the US/NATO can&#8217;t win it no matter how hard they try or how badly they want to win.&nbsp; I have long thought that western military superiority (even if you believe it) was not transferable to a Ukrainian proxy war. The fine-tuned, hi-tech kit gets wrecked (contrast with the take it through swamps and it still fires Kalashnikov). The Russians are tough fighters in an existential battle.&#8221;&nbsp;</mark></em></strong> </p>
  951.  
  952.  
  953.  
  954. <p>Last but not least, the endlessly repeated stupidity that Vladimir Putin is variously distrusted and loathed by his own citizens is blown apart by the latest Russian polls showing that &#8211; in just under a year of the sons of Kennedy-killers in Langley screaming that Vlad the Lad is variously riddled with cancer, mad, spearing babies and Hell-bent on becoming Ruler of our constellation &#8211; his approval ratings have jumped [in 10 months] from 80 to 86%. Very close to nine out of ten Russians are right behind Putin the patriot.</p>
  955.  
  956.  
  957.  
  958. <p>While the Paris Summit looks, from a distance, like a squabble between the Europeans, opinion is building to suggest that it&#8217;s nothing of the sort. Macron stands alone as the hawk in all this, but he is merely an agent for the unelected American psychos, piling the pressure on the French President* in a frantic attempt to win in Ukraine as the  narratives unravel. </p>
  959.  
  960.  
  961.  
  962. <p>*<em>Sources in Washington and Paris agree that the blackmail being applied to Macron is almost certainly involves gory details about his sexuality.</em></p>
  963.  
  964.  
  965.  
  966. <p>Super Tuesday&#8217;s primaries yesterday predictably made Donald Trump a shoo-in for the GOP nomination &#8211; he needs just 249 delegates to win it, and is miles ahead of Haley. Desperate fanatics do very silly things. </p>
  967.  
  968.  
  969.  
  970. <p>Stay tuned.</p>
  971.

  1007. <p>It is very common for writers of history to see the macro process of change, and citizen reactions to it, as entirely separate. They will of course write about ‘social change’ en masse, but this only rarely gets down to the level of the individual family unit that has dominated Homo sapiens since he quit the Erectus model of wandering about happily but with little or no plan, and settled into the family stability and tribal ‘rules’ about hunting, gathering, toolmaking and exploring as a pack.</p>
  1008.  
  1009.  
  1010.  
  1011. <p>‘Macro obsessed’ historians [especially the Marxist systemic school] in the past completely misunderstood why and how things change – and the overwhelming importance of how families behave when together behind closed doors; above all, it is the merciful reason why – up until now – totalitarian States have always crumbled in the end….because the megalos in what Solzhynetsin called <em>the First Circle </em>lose touch with proletarian life – such that it takes only one gobby but determined trade union like Solidinarsk to catch a macro member [of what is <em>always </em>called the ‘United’, ‘Union’, ‘People’s’ Big Bloc] on the wrong foot, and collapse the entire edifice.</p>
  1012.  
  1013.  
  1014.  
  1015. <p>Ignore the roadsweepers, taxi-drivers, club bouncers, nurses, trash collectors and building site labourers at your peril. They all go home to a family unit and keep their counsel largely private. That used to be the standard adage of genuinely liberal democrats.</p>

  1020.  
  1021.  
  1022.  
  1023. <p>But increasingly, there is no such thing as ‘private’.</p>
  1024.  
  1025.  
  1026.  
  1027. <p>What makes our current Existential Species Crisis completely different to anything that reared its head previously is the ability of pernicious comms technology [aka for now, the Smartphone] to invade familial privacy, and supply a non-stop stream of behavioural information about the average family’s diet, sex-life, and now – at last! &#8211; reactions to macro-media manipulation.</p>
  1028.  
  1029.  
  1030.  
  1031. <p>FACT: From <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2019/03/07/majorities-say-mobile-phones-are-good-for-society-even-amid-concerns-about-their-impact-on-children/"><em><strong>Pew trans-national market research</strong></em></a>: ‘&#8230;a large majority say mobile phones have been good for them personally, and many also say mobile phones positively impact education and the economy. Mobile phone users also overwhelmingly agree that their phones help them to stay in touch with faraway friends and family and keep them informed of the latest news and information’.</p>
  1032.  
  1033.  
  1034.  
  1035. <p>In short, most ‘smart’ phone users don’t see that the information flow is a two-way street. This quote from a long-standing Slog source in New York State – the same person who allowed me to scoop every media sector to reveal the real aim of the Dominic Strauss-Kahn honey-trap:</p>
  1036.  
  1037.  
  1038.  
  1039. <p>‘Smartphones already have the ability to monitor far more than the Silicon Valley-Surveillance State would have you believe’.</p>
  1040.  
  1041.  
  1042.  
  1043. <p>And from a Washington-based media hub player three weeks ago:</p>
  1044.  
  1045.  
  1046.  
  1047. <p>‘Give them just one Whatsapp number, and the CIA boys can pinpoint where you are to within three metres in 6.7 seconds’.</p>
  1048.  
  1049.  
  1050.  
  1051. <p>This time, the goal for the New World Order hegemonists is to achieve detailed attitude feedback such as to make their Orwellian World <em><strong>irreversible</strong></em>.</p>
  1052.  
  1053.  
  1054.  
  1055. <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
  1056.  
  1057.  
  1058.  
  1059. <p>Here’s why this really matters. Far too many of us are waiting for the citizenry’s patience to snap, and barricades to be constructed until, very quickly, Langley Virginia is sacked and every smartphone is thrown on the bonfire. But already, the depopulators have discovered that ‘family life’ barely exists any more: it’s been replaced by a generation persuaded by idiots that it’s OK to follow your feelings and express them openly – on TV if necessary – in order for everyone to put on a display a murky sewer of self-pity and insistence that they cannot possibly be to blame….<em>that it’s all somebody else’s fault.</em></p>
  1060.  
  1061.  
  1062.  
  1063. <p>Not for nothing is this chest-baring genre of media content referred to as Reality Television. If you want an explanation for BLM and pc, then it’s staring us in the face: whitey has herded us all into guettos, men roam the streets with permanent erections in the endless search for innocent women to rape, and of course, the sexual rainbow must be inclusive – no matter what degeneracy is involved – because otherwise those left out will feel alienated. Blessed are the paedophiles and all that.</p>
  1064.  
  1065.  
  1066.  
  1067. <p>Narcissism is currently off the scale: people follow banal beliefs and undertake actions without ever considering the consequences. What do young people mainly use mobile phones for? Selfies. How do most people today react to the blatant destruction of personal liberties and democratic accountability? Yeh&#8230;wotevva.</p>
  1068.  
  1069.  
  1070.  
  1071. <p>Family life is reaching the stage where self-indulgence dominates and every larger community or national consideration is blocked out by the ever-growing desire for celebrity, cos I’m worf it inneye?</p>
  1072.  
  1073.  
  1074.  
  1075. <p>But this is the knock-out blow: just as the media landscape has surrendered control to the Big Three investment houses, so too the manipulators have amassed a Babel of data to show just how easy it is to ensure people at worst <em>tolerate </em>cultural deconstruction and at best <em>avidly support</em> it. On top of the behavioural data stream pouring out of every home via a variety of meters and telecom hitech, practically every First World Social research agency on the planet is prone to the unwanted attentions of the Snoopers….albeit in return for lots of nice crisp filthy lucre.</p>
  1076.  
  1077.  
  1078.  
  1079. <p>Ipsos research [French] is 15.7% owned by asset managers&#8230;outstripping the company’s founder. Kantar research is 60% owned by Bain Asset Management. Gartner research is 25.5% owned by by asset biggies, including Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street. Provoke Insights research <em><strong>actually specialises in</strong></em> how the main influencers of information output are changing over time.</p>
  1080.  
  1081.  
  1082.  
  1083. <p>I won’t bore you with a full list of the World’s Top Ten. Suffice to say, they almost all answer to the Asset Management Octopoid.</p>
  1084.  
  1085.  
  1086.  
  1087. <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
  1088.  
  1089.  
  1090.  
  1091. <p>The awful naked Truth is that – when it comes to the 0.03% Fat Controllers – it is now possible for every cultural lever from the family via the local community to the schools our kids attend and the jobs they wind up doing to be identified by hitech surveillance&#8230; and then turbo-charged via our captive media set.</p>
  1092.  
  1093.  
  1094.  
  1095. <p>And what this knowledge tells them is that they are kicking at a worm-ridden, rotten door&#8230;the only door of defence against a New World Order Without End.</p>
  1096.  
  1097.  
  1098.  
  1099. <p>To 90+% of Sloggers, this is already apparent. To 99.6% of the rest of the population, that reality is hidden by invisible censorship….invisible because very, very few people out there face the bloggers’ daily battle to be heard.</p>
  1100.  
  1101.  
  1102.  
  1103. <p>So it is with not much regret that I have now decided to dump WordPress, Gmail and Elon X as main carriers of the wake-up call. Reprints of my musings will continue at the original Slog website&#8230;but primarily be communicated with renewed vigour via a substack already registered as Slogstack.</p>
  1104.  
  1105.  
  1106.  
  1107. <p>To continue without interference, those already on my followers mailing list need do nothing beyond signing up during an interim period in which I will direct them to Slogstack. I calculate that by doing this, The Slog’s real readership will probably increase by some 74% immediately.</p>
  1108.  
  1109.  
  1110.  
  1111. <p>I shall remain involved in the badinage of Twitter as appropriate, because I value beyond anything all those followers who have remained stoically loyal over the last fifteen years spent in the wilderness.</p>
  1112.  
  1113.  
  1114.  
  1115. <p>We must tell Truth to power, and remain prepared to protect all the good things about our species.</p>
  1116.  
  1117.  
  1118.  
  1119. <p>We are far from perfect; but it would a be a tragedy for history to conclude that just 0.03% of our kind used nothing more than bribery, blackmail and mendacity to defeat the rest of us.</p>

  1150. <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">As this is my first blogged comment on the Carlson/Putin somewhat tedious 2-hour slugging bout, we might as well get it out of the way, and then try to examine &#8211; in a less propagandised space far away from the putrid US MSM savaging of Carlson before and after the event – what it really told us about the way the world works today. Some of you may find the judgement harsh.</mark></strong></p>
  1151.  
  1152.  
  1153.  
  1154. <p class="has-medium-font-size">Thanks to years of informative help from colleague Amy Boone [a rare US former diplomat expert in Russo-Ukranian history] I was well aware in advance of the fractured nature of the relationship between the two. I was, in turn, well-informed [thanks to US sources well versed in CIA-Pentagon secret bioweapon production at five main centres in Ukraine] being a further motive for Vladimir Putin to invade and knock-out such centres&#8230;.which he has indeed done, with ruthless efficiency.</p>
  1155.  
  1156.  
  1157.  
  1158. <p style="font-size:16px">Overall, my bottom line here is that Tucker Carlson made a mess of attempting to get the Russian leader to be generally frank about this, merely the latest episode in a long series of devious attempts by the US unelected elite to threaten his West-facing flank by bribing the unutterably corrupt soap actor Zelenskyy.</p>
  1159.  
  1160.  
  1161.  
  1162. <p>He allowed Putin to demonstrate his command of almost a millenium of history in the region – a subject of little or no interest to the vast majority ofAmericans.Worse still, he allowed Vlad the Lad to talk about &#8221;deNazification&#8221; as a swirly-whirly 1940s ideological concept that might somehow be of interest to anyone born after 1970.</p>
  1163.  
  1164.  
  1165.  
  1166. <p>Carlson&#8217;s interruption – &#8221;Why is this relevant?&#8221; &#8211; merely gave the upper hand to Putin to splurge out yet more stuff from Ivan the Terrible onwards.</p>
  1167.  
  1168.  
  1169.  
  1170. <p>A far more telling question from Carlson would have been, &#8221;When did you know about Pentagon bioweapon development in Ukraine, and how did that make you feel?&#8221;</p>
  1171.  
  1172.  
  1173.  
  1174. <p>I waited in vain for that $64million question&#8230;.but it wasn&#8217;t asked.</p>
  1175.  
  1176.  
  1177.  
  1178. <p>All in all, the entire exchange left me with the feeling that I&#8217;d been watching something <em>staged.</em></p>
  1179.

  1183.  
  1184.  
  1185.  
  1186. <p>What the last few days since the broadcast have demonstrated, however, is a general attempt by trolls online to depict the EUNATO/Climate/Neocon/Davos NWO ranks as &#8221;on the defensive and regrouping&#8221;, such that &#8221;nothing further is likely to happen this year&#8221;; and specifically – as <a href="///24/if-youre-a-musk-truster-youll-never-be-an-elite-buster"><strong><em>The Slog predicted fourteen months ago</em></strong></a> – Elon Musk&#8217;s purchase of Twitter to create &#8216;X&#8217; was a direct order from the secret State&#8230;the purpose of which was to replace genuine Resistance accounts with nominated trolls: </p>
  1187.  
  1188.  
  1189.  
  1190. <p><em>&#8216;&#8230;the less than fragrant Musk all-over deodorant has set out to show how the forgiveness of reinstated accounts vastly exceeds Twitter ‘nuisance spam’ he’s vapourised (of course) in the name of unfettered freedom to say what you think&#8230;.In order back up his case, the less than fragrant Musk all-over deodorant has  done is to continue zapping the likes of genuine open-mind -lovers like Ana Viosi and Citizen Smith&#8217;.</em></p>
  1191.  
  1192.  
  1193.  
  1194. <p>He&#8217;s replaced them with his tame trolls. Last Saturday evening after GMT 9 pm there was an infestation of spookily consistent tweets about the bad guys being all over the place and having to think again as to their next move. This morning it had turned into a non-stop crowd of faux optimism unprecedented in my experience.</p>
  1195.  
  1196.  
  1197.  
  1198. <p>More broadly right across both social media and the MSM, the same old same old &#8216;multiple D&#8217; strategy was being applied in the order we have come to recognise – as summarised below:</p>

  1258. <p>-Although many will choose to see that 8D &#8216;system&#8217; as an extract from a paranoiac&#8217;s diary, let&#8217;s just remind ourselves of what objective was set for the CIA by its then director William J. Casey in 1981:</p>
  1259.  
  1260.  
  1261.  
  1262. <p class="has-large-font-size"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.&#8221;</strong></mark></p>
  1263.  
  1264.  
  1265.  
  1266. <p>Psycho or sociopath, that&#8217;s one helluva confident and quintessentially anti-Bill of Rights defined objective for a man charged with devoting his organisation to the protection of the US Electorate&#8217;s civil rights. Indeed, in stating his goal, he was demonstrating a total disrespect for the People&#8217;s democratic discernment. Compare and contrast his dismissive remarks with those of President Lincoln on <strong>September 2, 1858</strong>, speaking in Clinton, Illinois:</p>
  1267.  
  1268.  
  1269.  
  1270. <h1 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size">“<strong>You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”</strong></h1>
  1271.  
  1272.  
  1273.  
  1274. <p>Abe was a man of many catchy soundbites – up there and competing with Mark Twain – but neither man had any way of knowing how digital hitech could make it entirely possible to fool <em>almost </em>all of the People all the time, and then engage in the Multiple D strategy to drive a fear-and-hate bonanza against the discerning 1 in 8 still schooled in the lessons of historical civics.</p>
  1275.  
  1276.  
  1277.  
  1278. <p>There will always be cause and blame. The cause of our muzzled Western MSM is the obscene power of shareholder clout [via bourse-money investment in the hands of just three Goliaths]. The blame lies with those who terrify the bourgeoisie with false threats and dangers – ranging from the Russian Federation to the zero problem of C02 via a Sino-American pandemic created in a lab somewhere and then &#8221;treated&#8221; with mRNA bioweapons – such that they fail to take cognition of damning unexplained death numbers that make criminals of Pfizer, Moderna &#8211; and at least eleven members of the current near-paraplegic UK Conservative and US Democrat administrations.</p>
  1279.  
  1280.  
  1281.  
  1282. <p>You doubt the joined-at-the-hip common aims of the EU and NATO? Fine: so how do you explain Washington&#8217;s annihilation of Greek independence and newly expressed determination to mete out the same fate to Hungary? Is this what the profoundly unpleasant Guy Verhofstadt means by &#8221;our shared democratic values&#8221;? Liberal democracy is on the run, and EUNATO is providing the fuel for a Silver Streak non-stop runaway train to arrive at Dystopia Central before you can say Ursula Van der Leyen.</p>
  1283.  
  1284.  
  1285.  
  1286. <p>Rishi Sunak and The Chosen One Jeremy Hunt are engaged in a carefully planned and consistent campaign to deliver Great Britain into the cold and slimey grip of a New World Order desired by less than 0.03 per cent of the global human population. Their secret weapon is the sheer unbelievability of the end game. A gutless MSM throughout the West flatly refuses to analyse Sunak&#8217;s politically suicidal policies in that context.</p>

  1323.  
  1324. <p>What&#8217;s more, it seems almost impossible in 2024 to get people to care about their rights and liberties. It sounds, I know, slightly comic when put like that &#8211; <em>pace</em> Rab C Nesbitt remarking, &#8221;Iss gettan&#8217; harrd to be a bloody layaboot in Glasga these days, Pal&#8221; &#8211; but this couple of paras from Meryl Nass about the ridiculous plans of the WHO nails it rather well here:</p>
  1325.  
  1326.  
  1327.  
  1328. <p><em>&#8216;If this was only about a trade agreement, why is everyone talking about the loss of sovereignty, the imposition of global censorship, and global governance being brought in under the guise of “pandemic preparedness”? Because those are the real issues. Don’t let yourself be fooled that this is merely a trade disagreement.</em></p>
  1329.  
  1330.  
  1331.  
  1332. <p><em>The WHO has been co-opted in an attempt at a global “soft coup” in which most western governments are sadly complicit, and there really cannot be any argument about what the issues are, since it is all right there in the documents themselves. A trade disagreement is only a minuscule piece of what these documents are really about&#8217;.</em></p>
  1333.  
  1334.  
  1335.  
  1336. <p>Why is no MSM voice known to me raging about the WHO chief&#8217;s appalling record of weaponising drugs to get rid of opposition tribe members elsewhere in Africa? He is a rabid hardline Stalinist who wants to blithely walk into any sovereign that takes his fancy and <em>mandate </em>the use of bioweapons risibly referred to as vaccines. For heaven&#8217;s sake &#8211; we just went through three years of this mass cull and &#8211; as ever &#8211; nobody went to jail. </p>
  1337.  
  1338.  
  1339.  
  1340. <p>Does anyone still think that the US surveillance State <em>hasn&#8217;t </em>got it in for POTUS candidate Donald Trump? Astonishingly, the answer is &#8221;Yes, and there are millions of them&#8221;. Go figure.</p>
  1341.  
  1342.  
  1343.  
  1344. <p>Does any UK national press reader really think Rishi Sunak is saying, &#8221;Vaccines are safe and England is ready to go to war with Russia&#8221; because he&#8217;s had a secret brainoctomy? Sadly yes &#8211; same answer &#8211; because the legacy MSM flatly refuses to go beyond childish insults: they will  write that migrants and talk of war will doom the Tories&#8230;.<strong>but nobody is prepared to type onto a laptop for submission to the editor asking, &#8221;WHY is he doing this?&#8221;</strong> and then, you know, coming up with a few ideas that fit the facts&#8230;.the way journalists used to?</p>
  1345.  
  1346.  
  1347.  
  1348. <p>The bourse Big 3 own the media, the UK security forces want us back in the EU, the police have been politicised, MPs have been muzzled, education has taken a dive and wants our kids to believe all science is settled and LGBTQ is an exemplary addition to diversity&#8230;.and now the UK Army top brass want to &#8221;retrain&#8221; hundreds of thousands among our not terribly diverse new migrant Islamist thugs in the business of wearing a uniform and killing all these &#8216;threats and enemies&#8217; foisted upon us by the &#8221;special relationship&#8221; with Washington. </p>
  1349.  
  1350.  
  1351.  
  1352. <p>And please, before anyone brings the subject up, enough &#8221;Nigel will sort it all out&#8221; already: Nigel Farage deserves everyone&#8217;s respect for his unstinting courage in both putting up with having &#8221;racist!&#8221; yelled at him by pond life for much of the last twenty-five years, and being way ahead of the game on the illiberal bullies of Brussels. But as he would himself accept, he is a born and bred boursophile who, broadly speaking, supports the principle of bourse banking firms providing liquidity. We are now way past the stage when any genuinely democratic radical would deny the obvious fact that obese wealth management has perverted the system to the point where it has been weaponised to deny free speech purely through the power the Big Three wield right across every investment sector&#8230;.covering super-sensitive issues in arms manufacturing, media control, political lobbying, pharmaceuticals and a host of similarly tricky ethical areas. Farage represents a Front of &#8221;New Opposition&#8221; in the UK that is at best amateurish and in which few in the electorate have much faith. [As I have stressed many times before, in fact, The UK&#8217;s constitutional problem is that it<strong><em> doesn&#8217;t have </em></strong>a truly effective Opposition].</p>
  1353.  
  1354.  
  1355.  
  1356. <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
  1357.  
  1358.  
  1359.  
  1360. <p>If you frighten the People during five or six years, paradoxically they become far more receptive to the idea that world takeover is <strong><em>not</em></strong> that well advanced &#8211; so the X trolls will have been pushing at an open door over the weekend. After the 1938 Munich Agreement between the UK and Hitler&#8217;s Germany, the relief of not going to war was palpable &#8211; again, self-delusion kicked in and British citizens so desperately wanted not to have another inhuman trench and tank war with the appalling gas attacks, they quickly convinced themselves that Hitler could be trusted. </p>
  1361.  
  1362.  
  1363.  
  1364. <p>Fast forward to now, and once again misplaced optimism is being encouraged by [for example] the US magazine <em>Politico</em>, that has been running stories saying Europeans will not fight Putin, that Ukraine will be left to its fate and Trump will carry the can for being defeatist &#8211; Nikki Hayley is already taking that line &#8211;  and undermining the &#8221;cause of democracy&#8221;. It&#8217;s mainly BS: and fits with the secret Sunak plan for a surprise attack using local anti-Russian satellites as allies if and when the Germans get cold feet.</p>
  1365.  
  1366.  
  1367.  
  1368. <p>Meanwhile, out of the other side of its editorial mouth, Politico is running posts saying the diametric opposite. Result: utter confusion&#8230;.especially as the site in the EU is a joint venture with by Axel Springer, an avowedly anti-Sovyet corporation, pro blocist EU come what may and, overall, pro-US, pro-NATO, pro-Israel, pro-austerity, pro-capital, anti-Russia, anti-China organisation. It&#8217;s founder Herr Springer was described to me by a German social democrat acquaintance some forty years ago as &#8221;the love-child of Genghis Khan and Rupert Murdoch&#8221;.</p>
  1369.  
  1370.  
  1371.  
  1372. <p>More recently, in an interview with <em>The Nation</em>, two former CIA officers alleged that Axel Springer received $7 million from the CIA to support American geopolitical interests with his publishing house. Springer reportedly agreed and began guiding the editorial bias towards supporting US foreign policy. From its own corporate blurb, <em>The Nation</em> is &#8221;the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States, and the most widely read weekly journal of progressive political and cultural news, opinion and analysis&#8221;.</p>
  1373.  
  1374.  
  1375.  
  1376. <p>There&#8217;s that Progressive word again. The bedfellows get more unlikely with every week.</p>

  1410.  
  1411.  
  1412. <p><strong><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Although I am now hopelessly old, the one remaining source I have on an outer ring of the Planet Windsor confirmed to me yesterday morning that both Charles III and and his daughter-in-law Kate really did have &#8221;vaccine&#8221; jabs plus boosters in the Spring and Winter of 2021. Three years on, the former has cancer, and the latter has undergone mysterious [but &#8221;serious&#8221;] abdominal surgery. But the obvious potential connection (in the light of Unexplained Death Syndrome among the jabbed and boosted) appears to be of no interest whatsoever to the MSM and online search engines in the West. Rather, they&#8217;ve preferred to cover in detail the latest examples of leftist insanity and irrelevance.</mark></strong></p>
  1413.  
  1414.  
  1415.  
  1416. <p>While concerned about the health of our Monarch C3PO, if he succumbs, the Labour Party was last week able to reassure the King that once dead, he will be free to change his gender should he so desire. We await policy guidance from the Labour Executive in general and their highly execrated leader Queer Starkers as to how Charles might be asked whether he would prefer to have Charlene I or Boadicea II on the burial plaque in St George&#8217;s Chapel, Windsor Castle once he is, as it were, a stiff.</p>
  1417.  
  1418.  
  1419.  
  1420. <p>Also last week, the same dominant political trend of Looney Tune Leftism on Speed formed a Collective, &#8216;LGBTQ against Islamophobia&#8217;. This has to be by far the most cognitively dissonant insanity of the 21<sup>st</sup> century so far. In Saudi Arabia, for example, such a Group would be absolutely AOK if they stuck to yelling catchy slogans like &#8221;Behead democrats!&#8221;, but very quickly thereafter they would become victims of the National Sport of Stoning depraved infidels to Death&#8230;.and then chucked out of the upper floors of a minaret just to be absolutely sure that life was absent from the bag of stoned bones.</p>
  1421.  
  1422.  
  1423.  
  1424. <p>Thus are the questions that occur to ordinary citizens sacrificed on the altar of tiny minorities and their bonkers assertions which – in a majority decision liberal democracy – of course, must be tolerated&#8230;but not put at the centre of cultural civics and values as the basis of a sound and stable State.</p>
  1425.  
  1426.  
  1427.  
  1428. <p>The lunatics now dragging us towards potential Earthly nuclear immolation amount to a percentage of around 0.03% of the entire global human race. The genuine percentage of the population who are actively and licentiously practising homosexuals represent at most 3.4%. Active bisexuals are one in ten thousand at most. [This is why AIDS didn&#8217;t become the widely-expected scourge of Mankind: in the UK, the dishonest estimates of pernicious lobby group Stonewall were accepted <em>in toto</em> by a Department of Health too lazy to study the data. I should know – the ad agency I headed at the time was centrally involved in it. It was one of my first experiences of being ordered to shut up and take the money. It was not my finest hour: I didn&#8217;t stay long].</p>
  1429.  
  1430.  
  1431.  
  1432. <p>In order to inflate their claim to be authoritative, minority movements award themselves grandiose prefixes like &#8216;World&#8217;, &#8216;Multinational&#8217; or &#8216;Global&#8217;, while referring to their regular events as forums, foundations and summits. The two things they all have in common – and that includes the &#8216;United&#8217; Nations and the European &#8216;Union&#8217; – is that first, they&#8217;re never united; and second, they have rarely if ever faced an electorate in their lives.</p>
  1433.  
  1434.  
  1435.  
  1436. <p>But time and again, they are held up to the light as – in some odd way – opinion leaders with something original and relevant to say. Like self-styled &#8221;liberal&#8221; ideologues in general, they talk about being progressive&#8230;that is, those who represent moving forward [regardless of ethical or social compass] as &#8221;building back better&#8221;. The US Democrats and UK Labour party increasingly refer to themselves as <em>movements, </em>in the Edwardian era we had the Suffragette <em>movement, </em>and in mid to late 1960s in the US, the Civil Rights movement.</p>
  1437.  
  1438.  
  1439.  
  1440. <p>Movements are just dandy so long they have the merit of going in an inclusive direction towards a Shangri La of freedom to think for oneself. Sadly, over time they have a tendency to turn into inflexible ideologies with overtones of religious orthodoxy: they move the line in the sand further and further &#8221;forwards&#8221; until any dissenting view is treated as&#8230;..yes, you know what&#8217;s coming, reactionary.</p>
  1441.  
  1442.  
  1443.  
  1444. <p>And oh what woe must fall upon the reactionary. In 2024, the self-styled progressive movement still dominates – [&#8221;You can&#8217;t say that sort of thing any more!&#8221;] but their presence in yet another elite guarantees that they are, again, a tiny minority. Many people feel unable to discern any more between what is really important, what is genuinely relevant to civilised behaviour, or what has strayed into the cuckoo&#8217;s nest of insane nonsense.</p>
  1445.  
  1446.  
  1447.  
  1448. <p>As the opening examples with which I began demonstrated [albeit using questionable taste], the elite Movements we tolerate in 2024 are – to be technically descriptive here for a second – full of shit. Their &#8221;movements&#8221; are Bowel Movements: malodorous waste material to be flushed away to the sewers as soon as possible.</p>
  1449.  
  1450.  
  1451.  
  1452. <p>As the old Brooklyn adage has it, &#8221;Eat shit folks&#8230;twenty zillion flies can&#8217;t be wrong&#8221;.</p>

  1460. <p>I italicise and embolden/highlight the next two lines because they are at the centre of my philosophy about social anthropology:</p>
  1461.  
  1462.  
  1463.  
  1464. <p><em><strong>There&#8217;s a vast difference between being a <mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">&#8216;progressive&#8217;</mark>, and making better <mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">progress</mark> towards an <mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">accountable balance</mark> between Citizen Freedom and State regulation.</strong></em></p>
  1465.  
  1466.  
  1467.  
  1468. <p>This is not in any way linguistic pedantry or literary onanism – quite the opposite: I am examining here the degree to which the use of progressive as a term is no less than<em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"> <strong>antithetical to</strong></mark></em> the desire of every Freeman never again to be a slave.</p>

  1476. <p>Hillary Clinton beat her Wimmin&#8217;s Drum harder than most before, during and after her husband&#8217;s Presidency&#8230;and then blamed the &#8221;glass ceiling&#8221; against a female Presidency that &#8221;robbed&#8221; her of victory in 2016. In fact she was crushed 304-227 by the popular appeal of MAGA, because Donald Trump sensed more than anyone how fed up Americans were with biting tongues and using &#8221;correct&#8221; euphemisms.</p>
  1477.  
  1478.  
  1479.  
  1480. <p>Clinton learned nothing from the experience. In fact <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4241678-hillary-clinton-maga-cult-members-need-deprogramming/"><em><strong>she is on the record </strong></em></a>as sounding like a Sovyet Kommissar of the early 1950s when, as recently as October 2023, she told CNN:</p>
  1481.  
  1482.  
  1483.  
  1484. <p>&#8221;The entire MAGA cult is probably going to need formal deprogramming of the members&#8230;sadly, so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure&#8230;He’s only in it for himself&#8230;.At some point, there needs to be a backlash against the control that this small group of extremists have&#8221;.</p>

  1489.  
  1490.  
  1491.  
  1492. <p>Now we have an eminent US conservative journalist and broadcaster in Tucker Carlson who is alleged to be about to interview the Washington Post&#8217;s favourite cancer-riddled demon from Hell, Vladimir Putin. The Wapo [widely recognised in DC as the CIA&#8217;s inhouse magazine] <em><strong><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/25/tucker-carlson-takes-dubbing-debut-russia-show/">covered the development</a> </strong></em>with 100% proof brainless propaganda as follows:</p>
  1493.  
  1494.  
  1495.  
  1496. <p>&#8221;The blustering American TV personality Tucker Carlson has lambasted the United States for sending too much aid to Ukraine, called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “sweaty and rat-like,” and given credence to Russia’s baseless justifications for its invasion&#8230;.The former Fox News host’s rhetoric on the war — he has called it a U.S.-led “regime-change war” against Russia — and his attacks on Zelensky’s government — “a pure client state of the United States State Department” — aligns so well with the major propaganda points of Russian state television that one channel has decided to broadcast Carlson’s new show on X, formerly Twitter&#8221;</p>
  1497.  
  1498.  
  1499.  
  1500. <p>The piece [by that well-known hyper-anti Putin stooge you never heard of, Mary Ilyushina] simply doesn&#8217;t qualify as journalism&#8230;.and would&#8217;ve been very much at home in <em>Pravda&#8217;s</em> heyday under Stalin.</p>
  1501.  
  1502.  
  1503.  
  1504. <p>CNN is this morning is predictably vicious&#8230;.before reading/watching any of the interview:</p>
  1505.  
  1506.  
  1507.  
  1508. <p>&#8216;In a video posted to X announcing the sit-down Tuesday — the first interview Putin has granted with a Western media figure since his full-scale invasion of Ukraine two years ago — Carlson predictably and dishonestly villainized the press. The right-wing extremist, who has lauded autocrats in recent years, claimed English-speaking outlets are “corrupt” and “lie” to their audiences as they disseminate “propaganda of the ugliest kind.&#8217;</p>
  1509.  
  1510.  
  1511.  
  1512. <p>Oliver Darcy is the author of that little gem. He talks of Carlson villainizing the media, and then proceeds to deliver a biased hatchet job&#8230;..like one of the feral infants from <em>Lord of the Flies. </em></p>
  1513.

  1516. <p>But this is the MSM today: ignore the evidence, do exactly as you&#8217;re told, don&#8217;t lose any sleep about persuading millions of people into an early death, don&#8217;t ask any awkward questions, smear and demonise and  slag off everyone who&#8217;s awake as conspiranoid, dismiss Sunak as nothing more than stupid, ignore the fact that our Foreign Secretary was a proven grubby, online scammer, and our Chancellor falsified employee questionnaires to win an Evening Standard award. Predictably, the lowest point of all the low-life was Piers Morgan, who goaded people by calling them &#8221;wimps who are too scaredycat to have the jab&#8221;. Never did any Fourth Estate flabby hack deserve his anagram &#8211; Romping Arse &#8211; more than our Piers.</p>

  1523. <p>Yes indeed Smears Morgan the pirate, it is indeed you of whom we write&#8230;just when the world needs a huge dollop of investigative journalism to break the grip of the EUNATO/Davos elite monster, a washed-up gossipy phone-hacker and allround spineless jellyfish slithers onto a beach from the dark ocean of totalitarian lies and unfortunately, the only thing he&#8217;s investigating [twas ever thus] is his own back passage. </p>
  1524.  
  1525.  
  1526.  
  1527. <p>Anyway people, it&#8217;s 11.20 am ECOWAS time here in Africa, the world still waits with baited breath to read the content of Tucker Carlson&#8217;s Putin interview, but it&#8217;s time this post was put to bed &#8211; the sooner to be 90 per cent censored by the dastardly depopulators and their close allies&#8230;.the entire Fourth Estate, members of 32 allegedly elected Assemblies, police, military deadbeats and electorates too alienated, badly educated and lazy to give a fuck.</p>
  1528.  
  1529.  
  1530.  
  1531. <p>In departing for the time being, however, I offer you this sample of  radical reality, so help me God: I suspect I&#8217;d no more want to have lunch with Trump and Putin than I would with Joe Biden, Emmanuel Macron, Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen, Vlodomore Zelensky or Guy Verhofstadt. Nevertheless, with Trump and Putin I doubt if I&#8217;d have to count my fingers after the encounter. That doesn&#8217;t make me what Lenin called &#8221;a useful idiot&#8221;. It merely represents the desire of a bloke with three small grandchildren not to have them irradiated and then enslaved in order to satisfy the greed, megalomania and systemics of wannabe Demigods.</p>
  1532.  
  1533.  
  1534.  
  1535. <p>I make no apology for the naked anger in this post. What you do is your business: you are, after all, a free human being&#8230;even if you place so little value on that privilege.</p>

  1568.  
  1569.  
  1570. <p class="has-large-font-size"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">There will be peace in Ukraine if there is change in Brussels, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated on Kossuth Radio’s programme ‘Good morning, Hungary’ yesterday. </mark></p>
  1571.  
  1572.  
  1573.  
  1574. <p>Mr Orbán described his negotiations conducted on Thursday at the EU summit as a success. </p>
  1575.  
  1576.  
  1577.  
  1578. <p>He said Hungary continues<strong><em> to refuse to send weapons </em></strong>to Ukraine, and merely consented to <strong><em>preventing the bankrupt Ukrainian state from collapsing.</em></strong></p>
  1579.  
  1580.  
  1581.  
  1582. <p>In the context of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Mr Orbán said peace is the key issue, but added that “in this department we’re not doing well because Brussels is in a state of war fever,” and European leaders argue on the basis of &#8221;a war logic&#8221;.</p>
  1583.  
  1584.  
  1585.  
  1586. <p>According to Hungary, in Brussels everything should revolve around peace, and every effort should be made to achieve a ceasefire within the shortest possible time, to be followed by peace talks, he laid down.&nbsp;</p>
  1587.  
  1588.  
  1589.  
  1590. <p>He said two years have gone by in the war, and both the Ukrainians and westerners had all sorts of hopes that have not come true. The war remains open, hundreds of thousands of people have died, and “there is effectively ongoing killing on the frontline,” there are conditions reminiscent of World War I and II.</p>
  1591.  
  1592.  
  1593.  
  1594. <p>He added that the EUR 50 billion approved for Ukraine on Thursday is not intended for weapons; it is provided with a view to maintaining the functioning of the Ukrainian state. The Ukrainian economy has effectively collapsed, “it’s on life support,” if the Americans and the EU stop sending them money, “they will have to shut up shop” which means that there are no pensions, no salaries, no hospitals, there is nothing.</p>
  1595.  
  1596.  
  1597.  
  1598. <p>Mr Orbán said Hungary would have liked the EU to send money for peace, but this was not possible because westerners continue to believe that time is on their side. The longer the war drags on, the more Ukraine’s military situation will improve in their view, he added.</p>
  1599.  
  1600.  
  1601.  
  1602. <p>The Prime Minister said<strong><em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"> “by contrast, I believe that the opposite is true. I believe that time is on the Russians’ side, and the longer the war lasts, the more people will die, and neither will the balance of power change in Ukraine’s favour. In that case, why continue the war?” </mark></em></strong>This is the Ukrainian people’s decision because it is their country and they want to continue the war, he said, stressing that Hungary will not send weapons to the Ukrainians. </p>
  1603.  
  1604.  
  1605.  
  1606. <p>He said Hungary faced the threat that if EU Member States are unable to come to an agreement, the other twenty-six Member States will agree on the funds necessary for the functioning of the Ukrainian state, “they will take our money away, the money that we are entitled to, and will send it to Ukraine.”&nbsp;</p>
  1607.  
  1608.  
  1609.  
  1610. <p>Mr Orbán regards the EU summit and the preparatory talks as a success because “it was possible to agree with the large countries” that Hungary’s money cannot be taken away, and in return for that Hungary will take part in providing the money that is necessary for the continued functioning of the Ukrainian state, but <strong><em>will not send weapons </em></strong>and Hungary will continue to receive the funds it is entitled to. Our money will not be sent to Ukraine, he said. </p>
  1611.  
  1612.  
  1613.  
  1614. <p>He recalled that the Hungarian Left had said already two years ago that weapons must be sent to Ukraine, that we must support Ukraine’s military campaigns, and perhaps they would have even given the Hungarian people’s money to the Ukrainians. The Left is always eager to agree with Brussels on how Hungary should take part in military operations in Ukraine and should be pushed closer to the war situation, he concluded.&nbsp;</p>
  1615.  
  1616.  
  1617.  
  1618. <p>“By contrast, I’m always eager to agree with Brussels on how this should not happen,” the Prime Minister said.</p>
  1619.  
  1620.  
  1621.  
  1622. <p>As to how the situation has escalated in under two years from five thousand helmets to F-16s, he said this is “a million-dollar question,” and no one can tell anything about it with absolute certainty. He said it is a natural psychological process that when someone starts supporting something on a lesser scale, after a while, they will identify with those that they support.</p>
  1623.  
  1624.  
  1625.  
  1626. <p>He indicated that after a while he noticed that people in Brussels say things like “this is our war,” “the Ukrainians are fighting for us,” but this is a complete misunderstanding; there is a war atmosphere in the German press. It is evident that if the Russians are unable to defeat Ukraine, then how could they confront the whole of NATO? he pointed out.</p>
  1627.  
  1628.  
  1629.  
  1630. <p>He added that there are absurd arguments, and people in Brussels are finding it hard to admit that what they started was not a good decision and there is a need for change.&nbsp;</p>
  1631.  
  1632.  
  1633.  
  1634. <p>He said the voice of the countries in the European Union which maintain stronger links with the United States is becoming ever louder. From this he concludes that the American pressure, too, is becoming ever more intensive in some countries. European and American criteria are being confused, and he often has the feeling that in the case of some decisions, Brussels follows America’s interests, rather than those of Europe, he stated.</p>
  1635.  
  1636.  
  1637.  
  1638. <p>He said one thing is certain, there will be peace if there is change in Brussels.</p>
  1639.  
  1640.  
  1641.  
  1642. <p>He also spoke about the fact that while in December they managed to secure the disbursement of some of the funds Hungary is entitled to, now they managed to achieve the continued flow of funds and a guarantee that Hungary’s money will not be sent to Ukraine. “I would be very surprised if this agreement were not honoured,” the Prime Minister said.</p>
  1643.  
  1644.  
  1645.  
  1646. <p>The same as in any such debates, there are means in the hands of both Brussels and Hungary. It is true that the extent of these means is different, they are twenty-six, and if there is no agreement, they can harm us. However, “the harm we can cause them will not be pleasant either,” he said, adding that everyone would like to avoid that, and so at times like this they seek the limits as far as both parties are willing to go.&nbsp;</p>
  1647.  
  1648.  
  1649.  
  1650. <p>“I went as far as I possibly could,” the Prime Minister stated, indicating that if no agreement is reached because Hungary exercises its veto, then the 26 Member States come to an agreement, send the money to Ukraine, and even take the money of the Hungarians away and give it to Ukraine.</p>
  1651.  
  1652.  
  1653.  
  1654. <p>At the same time, this could have only happened at the expense of enormous conflicts which everyone wanted to avoid, Mr Orbán observed. Finally, they found a good solution: Hungary will not send weapons to Ukraine, will continue to receive funds from Brussels and will consent to the maintenance of the civilian Ukrainian state, he said in summary.</p>
  1655.  
  1656.  
  1657.  
  1658. <p>Regarding the farmer demonstrations, Mr Orbán said it is not fair on European farmers that while Brussels adopts rules that make production ever more costly, it is letting in agricultural products into Europe from countries where these rules are not in force.</p>
  1659.  
  1660.  
  1661.  
  1662. <p>The Prime Minister pointed out that Ukrainian agricultural products must not be allowed into the European market as is happening now, but the best solution is to not let them in at all.</p>
  1663.  
  1664.  
  1665.  
  1666. <p>Farmers are demonstrating because they feel that they and the Brussels decision-makers are worlds apart, and so they have no other means to have their voice heard than by “demonstrating in public places, honking their horns and clashing with the police.”&nbsp;</p>
  1667.  
  1668.  
  1669.  
  1670. <p>He said at the summit of prime ministers, there was a major debate about this, several of them angrily called upon the Commission to stop doing what they are doing.&nbsp;</p>
  1671.  
  1672.  
  1673.  
  1674. <p>He said in Brussels he met with demonstrating farmers who asked the Poles, Slovaks and Hungarians to block, to stop Ukrainian shipments at Europe’s border “if the Brusselites don’t have the sense to do so.”&nbsp;</p>
  1675.  
  1676.  
  1677.  
  1678. <p>He highlighted that there is a reason why the general feeling is that Brussels often represents the interests of others instead of the interests of the European people, the same as it is with the Left in the Hungarian Parliament. “Here, too, the situation is that, for instance, on the issue of weapons for Ukraine, <strong><em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">the Hungarian Left is financed from abroad,” the Prime Minister said.</mark></em></strong></p>
  1679.  
  1680.  
  1681.  
  1682. <p>He added that those who provide the money are all pro-war, and they are providing money in order to drag Hungary – through the Left – into the war. So, it is clear that the Left in Hungary does not represent the Hungarian people’s interests. In Brussels, too, one can often see that they represent some other party’s interests, he observed, recalling that, for instance, when the Americans introduced punitive measures against the European automotive industry, he was left in a minority with those who would have responded with immediate mirror measures.&nbsp;</p>
  1683.  
  1684.  
  1685.  
  1686. <p>Mr Orbán therefore warned of the threat of “a democratic deficit.” If there is too much of a distance between electors and leaders, leaders are sent packing, and in this the Hungarians, too, will have a chance to take part in the European parliamentary elections due to be held in June.</p>
  1687.  
  1688.  
  1689.  
  1690. <p>At the beginning of the week, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade&nbsp;Péter Szijjártó&nbsp;met with his Ukrainian counterpart and the head of the Ukrainian presidential office in Ungvár (Uzhhorod, Ukraine), and in connection with the talks, Mr Orbán also spoke about Ukrainian-Hungarian relations. After the meeting, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba said neither his Hungarian counterpart, nor the Hungarian Prime Minister are pro-Russian; they are pro-Hungarian. Responding to this comment, Mr Orbán stressed that in this regard he was not interested in the Ukrainian opinion because Hungary was a sovereign country. “We don’t require the kosher seal of the Ukrainians,” he said.&nbsp;</p>
  1691.  
  1692.  
  1693.  
  1694. <p>Naturally, Hungary belongs to the Hungarian people, and the Hungarian government represents the Hungarian people’s interests, pursuing distinct foreign policies in relation to Ukraine, Russia, America and Brussels, he pointed out.</p>
  1695.  
  1696.  
  1697.  
  1698. <p>He expressed hope at the same time that Hungary will be able to better cooperate with Ukraine in the future than it has done in the past, despite the fact that at present there is a very great distance between the two countries in a number of respects.</p>
  1699.  
  1700.  
  1701.  
  1702. <p>We do not want to interfere with the issue of the war because if Ukraine decides to undertake everything that goes with a war, it has a right to do so, he said, adding that, naturally, they cannot demand that Hungary support their fight on a mandatory basis.&nbsp;</p>
  1703.  
  1704.  
  1705.  
  1706. <p>He recalled that Hungary helps them with peace, and we have conducted the largest humanitarian campaign in the country’s history; we have allowed more than a million people to enter and stay in or transit through Hungary, there are tens of thousands of Ukrainians in Hungary who are given jobs by Hungarians, and Ukrainian children in the thousands attend Hungarian schools.&nbsp;</p>
  1707.  
  1708.  
  1709.  
  1710. <p><strong><em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">He pointed out, however, that some 150,000 indigenous Hungarians live in the territory of present-day Ukraine in a state of disenfranchisement that resembles the old communist times</mark></em></strong>: they are denied the comprehensive usage of their mother tongue, and are compelled to face disadvantages on account of being Hungarian. This was not the case until 2015, and now the Ukrainians keep promising to restore all the former rights. However, in a situation like this, Hungarians say ‘I’ll believe it when I see it,’” he said.</p>
  1711.  
  1712.  
  1713.  
  1714. <p>He took the view that after the EU summit, there is more of a chance for change, but it has yet to be realised. Hungary has a vested interest in there being ongoing talks about the problems between Ukrainians and Hungarians, Mr Orbán said.</p>
  1715.  
  1716.  
  1717.  
  1718. <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
  1719.  
  1720.  
  1721.  
  1722. <p>In what is still tonight [Friday] a western First World exclusive from The Slog [largely because our MSM&#8217;s refusal to print a Parallax Viewnon EUNATO adventurism is ever-present] I must nevertheless express my gratitude to Hungarian friends Anita and Gabor who bust a gut to get this radio broadcast Out There.</p>
  1723.  
  1724.  
  1725.  
  1726. <p>I sincerely hope that all those who read this Slogpost note the straight-talking but skilled democratic diplomacy and innate wisdom of Prime Minister Orbán as an exemplary alternative to the bigotry, hate and bare-faced lies we have been given by the stunningly corrupt Zelenskyy and in-yer-face revenge of the hypocrite Netanyahu.</p>
  1727.  
  1728.  
  1729.  
  1730. <p>I rarely ask so overtly for such things, but I would beg all those who still know the difference between excitable propaganda and balanced assessment to share this interview far and wide.</p>
  1731.  
  1732.  
  1733.  
  1734. <p>Unlike others in our midst, Orban does not rig elections or refuse to vacate important office. When defeated, he stands aside and waits until events prove him right. When demonised by blocist apparatchiks, he retains both a sense of clarity and firm but polite diplomacy. He is a proven democrat who abides by the Constitution at all times. In the West, he is a lone voice in the wilderness declining the easy route of joining the lemmings in unconscious search of death by cliff-jumping while the tide is out.</p>

  1899.  
  1900.  
  1901. <p>There is an old saying, &#8221;the poor will always be with us&#8221;. One thing I have realised &#8211; rammed home after two years in The Gambia – is another equally valid Truism: &#8221;The Chore will always be with us&#8221;. And overall – it&#8217;s twenty years next month since I started blogging – two decades of commenting online suggest a third certainty as we head into what are highly likely to prove the most dangerous months of my 77<sup>th</sup> year: &#8221;War will always be with us&#8221;.</p>
  1902.  
  1903.  
  1904.  
  1905. <p>One thing that requires a much greater dollop of reality among the world&#8217;s legislatures is the multiply fieldwork-proven anthropological fact that while some people have not been given the opportunities they genuinely need, other folks simply won&#8217;t get out of bed in the morning. Like it or not, no amount of forced quota corporate policies or affirmative action Government programmes will change the fact that – given a free ticket – opportunistic laziness is a human trait that is unlikely ever to go away.</p>
  1906.  
  1907.  
  1908.  
  1909. <p>There is also the philosophical belief [which I support] that in a genuinely egalitarian State offering Equality of <em><strong>Opportunity</strong></em>, every job should go to the <em><strong>best qualified</strong></em> person regardless of sexuality, gender or ethnicity.</p>
  1910.  
  1911.  
  1912.  
  1913. <p>Those with a hunger to learn while at school or college will triumph in the end; those who are disuptive in class and become a disciplinary nightmare for teachers will leave with little or no qualification to do anything. Overly-tolerant &#8221;progressively politicised&#8221; teachers who tolerate this (by blaming everything on institutional bigotry) further exacerbate the problem &#8211; and neoliberal globalist States that fail to provide quality education render it worse still: above all, they help fulfil all of Plato&#8217;s worst fears&#8230;.viz, that an uninformed, ignorant electorate will always vote for the easy civic ride&#8230;.leading to the Bread and Circuses of Imperial totalitarian tyranny.</p>
  1914.  
  1915.  
  1916.  
  1917. <p>It is sixteen years since I christened my philosophical outlook &#8221;radical realism&#8221;. Notably, the rigid ideologues have chosen to instigate policies that are antithetical to the ones I put forward: in a nutshell, they have invented a spurious New Normal of surreal anti-science which they insist is &#8221;settled&#8221;*.</p>
  1918.  
  1919.  
  1920.  
  1921. <p>*<em>There is no intention here to suggest that they did this purely to annoy me:on the contrary, they&#8217;ve done it to please themselves</em></p>
  1922.

  1928.  
  1929. <p>So the Poor remain and &#8211; without dangerous genetic interference – forever shall in one form or another. Such is dictated by the assumption of much of the species Homo sapiens that they somehow deserve entitlement. By far the most notable symptom of Man the Toolmaker-cum-Pisstaker is that he insists that he and he alone has <em><strong>human </strong></em>rights.</p>
  1930.  
  1931.  
  1932.  
  1933. <p>The concept of Human Rights is nonsensical from A to Z&#8230;and far too often, it produces a demand not so much for the level playing field as uncontained licence to do only that which they find pleasurable. The braindead cry of the 1960s flower-children – &#8221;If it feels good, do it&#8221; – was a slaughterhouse doomed to fulfilment, as indeed it was when the Manson Gang had a fun time slicing Sharon Tate and others into little pieces towards the end of the decade.</p>
  1934.  
  1935.  
  1936.  
  1937. <p>As a pack/tribe species wired to exist cooperatively and competitively in the advancement of civilisation, the only rights we have are <em><strong>Civil Rights </strong></em>to protect us from the Tyrannosaurus Rex tendencies of the largely Alpha male leaders of the pack.</p>
  1938.  
  1939.  
  1940.  
  1941. <p>The establishment of educated, civically aware libertarianism is the natural output of a desire [among both Alpha and Beta males and females] to ensure that leaders remain in touch with reality by being key providers and protectors of every stratum of the pack. A &#8221;healthy&#8221; pack is one that expects a need for not just creative thinking, organisation and climatic survival, but also for trained Gamma and Delta classes who can construct, fight and if necessary kill predators and hunt for food.</p>
  1942.  
  1943.  
  1944.  
  1945. <p>Within that essential, healthy and realistic context lies the true &#8221;natural order of things&#8221; – that is to say, the equally valued hierarchical system that lies behind our species success – competition internally, and cooperation with other tribes developing a similar construct of civilisation that presupposes <em><strong>civil Rights, rather than Species rights.</strong></em></p>
  1946.  
  1947.  
  1948.  
  1949. <p>This in turn explains why chores will always be a part of balanced community life. For to put ourselves beyond chores [based on that deadly sense of entitlement] invites the delusion of Demigod status and endless material greed.</p>
  1950.  
  1951.  
  1952.  
  1953. <p>When this becomes apparent in hominid packs in the wild, the beta females start to mate with Gammas, and the delusional Ubermenschen lose their grip. The new Beta-Alpha progeny then emerge to take power and – in theory – the correct balance is restored.</p>
  1954.  
  1955.  
  1956.  
  1957. <p>I dislike the distraction of chores and practical repairs because I find them boring. But life in Gambia has taught me how delusions of grandeur can produce a total lack of grip on reality and unfairness that leads to Africa&#8217;s near universal problem of corrupt greed.</p>
  1958.  
  1959.  
  1960.  
  1961. <p>What is destroying this respect for useful skills of all kinds [devoid of social snobbery] is a Godless obsession with the baubles of contemporary life – primarily obscene levels of material wealth and the obsessive desire to trade up to the latest narcisstic &#8216;selfie&#8217; smartinfo spy gadget.</p>
  1962.  
  1963.  
  1964.  
  1965. <p>The vast majority of the supply chain when it comes to Smartphones begins in Asia&#8230;where, research shows, people are of smaller stature with much smaller fingers than Caucasians. For me, trying to leave a typed message when getting no response to a call I&#8217;ve made is akin to trying to paint a Bacon tryptich on tickertape. But that doesn&#8217;t matter to the diabolical forces subsidising the price of buying and using &#8221;The Beads&#8221;: all they care about is building the addiction to unconscious surveillance. This kind of behaviour makes the serial stealing of the Sioux nation&#8217;s land rights in the 1870s seem trivial by comparison.</p>
  1966.  
  1967.  
  1968.  
  1969. <p>In simple psychoanalytical terms, completion of a chore – especially, defeating the endless unreliability of hitech – is good for daily self esteem. Actually, this includes anything designed by Dorkgeeks in charge of what we wrinklies used to call &#8216;npd&#8217;.</p>
  1970.  
  1971.  
  1972.  
  1973. <p>My last remaining reliable laptop&#8217;s cursor went awol last Wednesday afternoon, so I was left asking a half-arsed old Hewlett Packard pc for help with the Toshiba cursor deficit. After being variously advised to press fn, f9, control, alt and Del all at the same time &#8211; a feat well beyond the skills of Eric Clapton &#8211; the Japanese laptop&#8217;s little arrow remained in hiding like one of those soldiers of Nippon discovered in 1954 refusing to accept that Loundeyes Rongnose had won the War.</p>
  1974.  
  1975.  
  1976.  
  1977. <p>And so I returned to make-do basics: armed only with an ancient mouse salvaged from a neolithic Lenovo pc, I removed the battery, drained it, disabled the cursor pad, and waited until Hirohito&#8217;s revenge was emitting no signs of flickering life. Then and only then did I recharge the Japanese kamikazi Tora-Tora machine and plug in the antique mouse. Result, happiness.</p>
  1978.  
  1979.  
  1980.  
  1981. <p>Chores keep feet on the ground, and the owners of the feet real. Politicians hide behind chauffeurs and Torres Vedras style defences. When anger is expressed outside their castles, they pretend it&#8217;s a coup d&#8217;etat and make the questioning of dubious election results a crime; have you seen the concrete-blockaded Palace of Westminster lately? I rest my case: Parliaments, Congresses, spooks, big business, bourse bankers, EU oligarchs, Party bigwigs and climate liars hide away from The People behind bullet-proof glass, bullet-proof limos, armed Special Branch police, AI and Parliamentary privilege. They never use public transport and travel first class or business on planes and trains.</p>
  1982.  
  1983.  
  1984.  
  1985. <p>The Zil Lane is alive and well. It&#8217;s simply been re-presented and hermetically sealed – as have the Unelected State maniacs in their personal worlds behind Pentagon, GCHQ, Central Bank and MI5 brutalist architect-designed doors from Langley Virginia to Frankfurt. But top-down dictatorship is not &#8221;the natural order of things&#8221;. The natural order is investment in the tribe <em><strong>as a whole.</strong></em></p>
  1986.

  1989. <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
  1990.  
  1991.  
  1992.  
  1993. <p>When the out of touch purveyors of drivel like &#8221;trickle-down wealth&#8221; and all the rest of the neoliberal monopolist claptrap run out of ways to hide their failure, it&#8217;s left to the neocon goforits to run an aggressively dangerous foreign policy to distract from the mess.</p>
  1994.  
  1995.  
  1996.  
  1997. <p>In order of enthusiasm, the main <em>cui bono</em> medals in War are awarded to Dictators, The Military and its suppliers, black marketeers, globalist banks, energy suppliers, politicians with a lousy domestic policy track record looking for hate figures to demonise as wicked foreign threats, bioweapon developers, all those engaged in media propaganda – and everyone keen to promote a New World Order based on at least duopoly and preferably monopoly. None of those who profit from those wars die in them, and only a tiny percentage ever go to jail.</p>
  1998.  
  1999.  
  2000.  
  2001. <p>Putting names to some of those terms, Hitler badly needed a war in 1939, because his &#8216;economic miracle&#8217; after 1935 was nothing more than a series of clever financial scams dreamed up by Hjalmar Schacht, and huge spending on rearmament. FDR and Cordell Hull knew of the Japanese Pearl Harbor plans, but Roosevelt was fighting a senseless isolationism at home, and needed a reason to eradicate Nazism. Thatcherite economics were looking sick until Galtieri came along and turned the Blessed Margaret into the War Hero forever after known as the Iron Lady. Netanyahu knew what Hamas was planning earlier this year, but he let them attack as the only means of reversing his hopeless record on domestic issues and foreign diplomacy. And just over a year ago, the Ukraine/Russia dispute escalated into a Russian invasion after eleven years of deliberately poking Putin in the ribs by the Pentagon money machine, in cahoots with Big Pharma&#8217;s attempt to disguise the US funding of bioweapon labs after 2020.</p>
  2002.  
  2003.  
  2004.  
  2005. <p>If you were a global superpower looking for peaceful gains of function from the use of mRNA, why on Earth would you choose to develop that research secretly in an infamously corrupt and pro-Nazi basket case called Zelenskyy-sur-Ukraine just an hour and twenty minutes from Moscow? I mean, Washington is eight hours away even as the Earth turns. If that isn&#8217;t thrusting a scimitar into a hornet&#8217;s nest, then what is?</p>
  2006.  
  2007.  
  2008.  
  2009. <p>And if you weren&#8217;t hedging your bets on a duopoly with China, why would you work with Wuhan on an openly <em>military </em>project to achieve a gain of function* by altering the RNA of a rarely fatal virus?</p>
  2010.  
  2011.  
  2012.  
  2013. <p>*<em>The enlightened observer continues to wait in vain for Anthony Fauci – Washington&#8217;s top health bureaucrat – to give us a heads up on what the function was in the first place, and what purpose the gain would serve. All those holding their breath during the delay in this central info-stash turned blue and died around about June last year.</em></p>

  2018.  
  2019.  
  2020.  
  2021. <p>As the Sapiens in the street heads in a confused and at times utterly baffled state of mind towards the end of the first quarter of the 21<sup>st</sup> century, we have a once-a-millenium perfect storm building on the horizon&#8230;something whose nature we have never faced before, because we have weapons more ghastly than most even want to think about, largely controlled by an insane bunch of wannabe Demigods with more money than there is in every Sovereign treasury on Earth combined: men and women who are compulsively obsessed with the idea of bioweaponry being expanded to depopulate nearly eight billion of us, and then used to create a new species of transhuman AI serfs and slaves who will cater for their every need.</p>
  2022.  
  2023.  
  2024.  
  2025. <p>Needless to say, it <em>sounds </em>mad, but then&#8230;have you listened to any of the swivel-eyed speeches at Davos recently?The madmen of Davos, Langley and bourse multi-billionaires account for around 0.03% of us: but what makes them far better equipped than previous Caligulas is that they have the shareholdings to silence the press, the Silicon Valley and NASA technology to track and trace every human being on Earth in under a minute, and the Bourse directionalising skills and funds to destroy every State, individual and social group in their way.</p>
  2026.  
  2027.  
  2028.  
  2029. <p>Reliable sources have been suggesting to me during this past week that a majority in both Langley Virginia and the Pentagon are of the view that they can wipe everyone else out in a war and there&#8217;ll be no escalation to a major nuclear exchange. You don&#8217;t have to be mad to hold that view, but it undoubtedly helps.</p>

  2041. <p>Speaker Johnson told his House colleagues in a letter this morning, that the Senate immigration &amp; Ukraine deal is &#8221;Dead on arrival” in the House, if the Senate passes it.

We both await future events with a sense of growing trepidation. We also laughed a lot. Trustworthy friends are the best investment one can make in a world where Godless criminality is now the norm. </p>

  2122. <p>PM Rishi Sunak flew to Ukraine a few days ago to sign <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65a14a6ae96df50014f845d2/UK-Ukraine_Agreement_on_Security_Co-operation.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an agreement</a> for ‘security co-operation’ and ‘a hundred-year partnership.’ This is in a context where the former head of the British Army is warning that our armed forces are so shrunken that we invite a <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/lord-dannatt-the-times-writing-grant-shapps-vladimir-putin-b1133626.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1930s-style disaster.</a></p>

You may search the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/files/annex-conservative-manifesto-half-time-analysis.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">2019 Conservative manifesto commitments</a>&nbsp;in vain for any mention of Ukraine or Russia, and their only reference to NATO is a pledge to exceed the minimum funding level of two per cent of GDP.</p>
  2127.  
  2128.  
  2129.  
  2130. <p>Sunak did not head his party at the time of the General Election so he has not received personal validation from the voting public. Nor did he win the support of the Conservative Party membership in the recent leadership contest. He owes his tenure solely to the ballots of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rishi-sunak-prime-minister-general-election-b2209402.html" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">202 Tory MPs</a>&nbsp;fifteen months ago.&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_Monster_Raving_Loony_Party" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">The Monster Raving Loony Party&nbsp;</a>has hugely outnumbered that in every GE since 1983, and in fact their 2019 performance was their best yet, despite the growing sense that the loonies are in charge already.</p>

  2134. <p>The Foreign Secretary is also merely an appointee and sits in the Lords, safe from the bruising interrogation of the Commons. Ten years ago the now Baron Cameron said ‘<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23909443" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">I get it</a>’ at the Dispatch Box over public opposition to bombing Syria; today he partners the new PM in risking direct confrontation with a Russia that rightly or wrongly sees itself as potentially fighting for her life; as does Israel, whose side we have taken, to the great displeasure of our domestic Muslim community (as well as of much of the Left.) </p>
  2135.  
  2136.  
  2137.  
  2138. <p>We are not yet technically at war with Russia, so I hope the Government will refrain from sanctioning me for pointing out that we are on a similar path to the one that led to WWI, another avoidable entanglement that started the ruin by stages of our economy and consequently our society.</p>
  2139.  
  2140.  
  2141.  
  2142. <p>I might risk more in speaking of Zelensky’s regime. Not only UKR-local but foreign journalists and politicians are included on the Kiev-based&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrotvorets" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Myrotvorets</a>&nbsp;hit-list website and the US-born vlogger and regime critic&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@gonzalolira0229" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Gonzalo Lira</a>&nbsp;died a prisoner in Ukraine on the day of Rishi’s visit, allegedly a victim of torture, extortion and medical neglect.</p>
  2143.  
  2144.  
  2145.  
  2146. <p>Worse by far is the threat to us all of nuclear war; the thrilling atomic explosion shown in last year’s ‘Oppenheimer’ movie is a mere firework compared to the arsenal now held by several potential combatants, Russia’s stock being the largest. Does the US State Department envisage an Armageddon geographically restricted to Europe? Why did the toxic blond clown Johnson fly to Kiev two years ago to scupper peace talks? Why is his latest successor strapping us together with a vicious, corrupt and autocratic regime suicidally committed to an unwinnable conflict with a nation that if it goes down is prepared to take the rest of the world with it?</p>
  2147.  
  2148.  
  2149.  
  2150. <p>Our PM may be unelected but he might at least have shown some spine and said no to acting as Washington’s gofer. This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a wimp.</p>

  2156.  
  2157.  
  2158. <p>Rolf&#8217;s wonderfully succinct summation of Anglophone neocon nuclear juggling may well end with a wimp on this side of the Pond, but across the Atlantic it&#8217;s clear that 2024 is almost certain to be by far the most important POTUS election in US history. Most of you will have read already that overnight, Donald Trump whacked Nikki Haley out of the ballpark in New Hampshire&#8230;.an historic victory on many levels, but chiefly on the one that counts: he is the first non-incumbent GOP candidate in the modern era to win both the <a href="https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/primaries-and-caucuses/results/iowa/republican-presidential-primary" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Iowa</a> and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/primaries-and-caucuses/results/new-hampshire" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Hampshire</a> contests&#8230;the first two held on this occasion.</p>
  2159.  
  2160.  
  2161.  
  2162. <p>My best estimate is that the next fence in the steeplechase &#8211; South Carolina [Haley&#8217;s home State] on February 24th &#8211; will effectively &#8221;crown&#8221; The Donald as a landslide GOP convention winner&#8230;.Carolina polls already showing this afternoon that Haley is fully 30% behind the former President. </p>
  2163.  
  2164.  
  2165.  
  2166. <p><em>Thereafter, only five things can stop Trump: 1. A bullet 2. A prison sentence 3. Cancellation of the Election due to &#8221;overseas military emergencies&#8221; 4. More election rigging next November 5. Global nuclear conflict.</em></p>
  2167.  
  2168.  
  2169.  
  2170. <p>Seven opinion polls conducted during January 2024 on POTUS voting intentions next November show Trump steadily easing ahead of Biden by a further 6%. A lead that stood at 5% at the turn of the year is now 11%&#8230;.but 20% remain undecided. In reality, everything now depends on the Russo-Ukrainian and MidEast conflicts; a serious further decline in Zelenskyy&#8217;s situation will render Sleepy Joe a lame duck&#8230;.hence EUNATO being ordered to offer the Ukrainian leader money, arms, troops and &#8211; if possible &#8211; miracles.</p>
  2171.  
  2172.  
  2173.  
  2174. <p>But all of this is so much hokum theatre compared to the power of the Big3 investment behemoths &#8211; BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) who between them manage [aka control] some $20.7 trillion in assets. This <em><a href="https://therealslog.com/2024/01/23/bigger-fleas-with-lesser-fleas-upon-their-backs-to-bite-em/">menage a trois</a></em> are major shareholders in 95% of S&amp;P 500 companies, and &#8221;invest&#8221; <em>more money than the</em><strong> combined</strong><em> gdp&#8217;s of Germany, Japan, India, the UK and Italy.</em></p>
  2175.  
  2176.  
  2177.  
  2178. <p>Like the Lord demigods they wish to be, they not only giveth, they also taketh away. Thus not only giveth they to the mega rich so they can become giga rich, they also bankrolleth government neocon permawar, owneth both Houses of Congress, and supporteth globalist monoliths by treading underfoot anyone or anything that tries to stop the process. The devastation caused in the Greek wholesale restaurant sector fifteen years ago was a direct result of Blackrock carpet-bagging, the only beneficiaries of which were the likes of infamous MEP slimeball sociopath Guy Verhofstadt.</p>
  2179.  
  2180.  
  2181.  
  2182. <p>If the unelected US State were to embark on any of the five ways described above in a form of anti-democratic coup against the clear POTUS front-runner, things could take a very nasty turn indeed. On the dark side, despite an alarming &#8211; almost weird &#8211; decision during September and October by the progressive goose-stepping MSM in the States to go shit-or-bust to dump Biden, this has now been ruthlessly stomped upon by persons known only to a few &#8211; but I can safely say &#8211; with close Bourse, Military, Intelligence and Mafia links.</p>
  2183.  
  2184.  
  2185.  
  2186. <p>Only Murdoch&#8217;s <em>New York Post </em>is still serving up at least some form of reality on this subject. Today [Wednesday] it notes with a healthy dollop of common sense:</p>
  2187.  
  2188.  
  2189.  
  2190. <p>&#8221;&#8230;it is among the larger group of registered voters from both parties and independents where the latest Wall St Journal [also Murdoch owned] poll has the worst possible news for Biden and Democrats. The top finding is that an astounding 73% of all respondents believe Biden, at 80 and in obvious decline, is too old to run for a second term. Remarkably, that number ­includes two-thirds of Dems, the Journal says&#8230;.The contrast between the leading contenders for the Oval Office is striking. Less than three years after Biden took the White House from Trump, the winner is in something of a free fall and the loser is on a roll.&#8217;</p>
  2191.  
  2192.  
  2193.  
  2194. <p>I am left suspecting that the Big3&#8217;s Deep State prefers a malleable hologram demented pervert in the Oval Office, as the only alternative is surely and with ever-decreasing doubt, The Donald&#8230;.and a clear mandate not so much to drain the Swamp, as to chuck all the former inhabitants into a gigantic sachet of Instant Quicksand. </p>
  2195.  
  2196.  
  2197.  
  2198. <p>As to which route the Putschists will choose to neuter Donald Trump, any persons who tell you they know the ropes of it are fools, liars, or quite possibly the CEO of Blackrock Larry Fink&#8230;.the man who got paid a small fortune by the Right Wing Greek Party <em>New Democracy</em> for presenting to them a detailed blueprint for lying to Brussels about the real size of its pressing debt liabilities. (The Syriza leftist Coalition that followed under the Premiership of Alexis Tsipras wound up carrying the can for this calumny, partly thanks to disgraceful misreporting by the EU loyalist MSM and senior Greek State traitors. It is generally accepted among the Athenian chatterati to this day that Tsipras was threatened with familicide if he were to default on Greek debt). Also involved in the disgraceful ambush of Tsipras was the ineluctably Satanic European Central Bank boss, Mario Draghi.</p>

  2203.  
  2204.  
  2205.  
  2206. <p>As the Buddhists, Einstein, Indian Skih gurus and contemporary metaphysics commentators like Eckhart Tolle continue to insist, &#8221;Everything is connected, separation is an illusion, and the only reality in the 3D sector of the metaverse is Eternal Now&#8221;. In the restless science that is being suppressed by those who wish for New Normal to be settled to their advantage, every issue is complex&#8230;and unlikely to be clarified by the Leftlib soundbite.</p>
  2207.  
  2208.  
  2209.  
  2210. <p>It is part of the obscene double standards of the wannabe Demigods that they use<strong><em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"> false alchemic certainty</mark></em></strong> in the same breath as <strong><em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">false antiscience complexity</mark></em></strong> in order to keep all electorates utterly confused, and thus in a constant state of fear about everything from terrorists, viruses, climate horrors and demonised &#8216;enemies&#8217;.</p>
  2211.  
  2212.  
  2213.  
  2214. <p>Anti-democratic investment power in the hands of a few megalomaniacs in 2024 is every bit as dangerous as an inbred British King with delusions of deity-appointed dictatorship in 1776. The top-down totalitarianism brought to us via monied bourse central-bank globalism is nothing less than an alternative Mammonesque sovereign body in this, our Godless contemporary civilisation. The Divine Right of Kings is become the diabolical greed of bourses. It isn&#8217;t any kind of capitalism I recognise.</p>
