UK DECIDES TO KEEP COAL-FIRED POWER STATIONS OPEN (JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER)

What is Greta going to say about all this?

With the UK set to be engulfed by chaos and blackouts due to driving the green agenda too hard, the British government has decided to relent on its "Zero-Carbon Fascism" and keep some coal-fired power stations open just a little bit longer. 

As reported by the Guardian:

The effort to prevent electricity blackouts this winter is expected to delay the closure of part of a coal-fired power station in Nottinghamshire, with the plant’s German owner nearing agreement with the UK authorities.

In the third in a series of deals to have more coal power on standby if needed, National Grid’s electricity system operator (NGESO) is working towards finalising an agreement with Uniper to keep all of the operations at the Ratcliffe-on-Soar site open through the winter.

In May, the business secretary, Kwasi Kwarteng, wrote to NGESO asking executives to work with Uniper and fellow owners of coal-power stations Drax and EDF to slow their closure plans after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine shook the energy markets.

Uniper had been due to decommission one of its 500-megawatt units at the Nottinghamshire plant at the end of September, two years before closing the remaining three units at the site.

Under the deal, NGESO is expected to pay the company a fee to delay the decommissioning so all three units can be called on if needed.

With one third of Pakistan reportedly under water supposedly due to "climate change" weather, will this decision by the British government put the remaining two thirds under water? I think we should be told.

RICHARD VON COUDENHOVE-KALERGI WAS BASED AND RED-PILLED

Kalergi: Anti-Communist, pro-colonial

by Duns Scotus 

Some time ago, I wrote about how Alt-Righters have created a whole myth about Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi based almost entirely on two obscure quotes taken out of context. 

The two quotes in question are:

The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals.

And:

Instead of destroying European Jewry, Europe, against its own will, refined and educated this people into a future leader-nation through this artificial selection process. No wonder that this people, that escaped Ghetto-Prison, developed into a spiritual nobility of Europe. Therefore a gracious Providence provided Europe with a new race of nobility by the Grace of Spirit. This happened at the moment when Europe's feudal aristocracy became dilapidated, and thanks to Jewish emancipation.

From this we are told to believe that Kalergi had a "plan" that aimed at nothing less than elevating a Jewish ruling class over a miscegenated globalised world. That's quite a stretch. But take another look at those two quotes.

The first one is almost the same sort of thing that a blackpilled Alt-Righter or sensible race realist might say, although Kalergi's tone is clearly that of a dispassionate long-range prediction. It is clearly not something he is advocating, although, as a Eurasian aristocrat with little exposure to Blacks, he seems somewhat naive on the ease with which "prejudice" would disappear.

As for the second quote, this is not a million miles away from what somebody like Adolf Hitler would say, at least in its broad outlines. Almost all hardened anti-Semites believe something similar to Kalergi's quote, namely that the Jews underwent selection for high intelligence by the historical conditions of their "Ghetto-Prison," although, of course, Kalergi had a more positive view of Jews. Sadly, this would be no defence today, as the case of Solent University lecturer Stephen Lamonby makes clear. Lamonby was fired from his post merely for pointing out the well-known cleverness of Jews.

Based on these two Kalergi quotes culled from his many works, Alt-Righters and their predecessors have created a kind of "Myth of Kalergi," presenting the half-Austrian-half-Japanese aristocrat as a kind of spiritual ringleader of an "evil globalist scheme" aimed at "exterminating the White race." Sure, White demographics are on the slide, but not because of anything Kalergi did or planned. Instead, what we see here is a strained and deconstextualised selection of "evidence" to support one of the Alt-Right's sacred blackpills.

What started me thinking about this topic again was an article I came across recently about how Kalergi may have partly inspired the geopolitical ideas in Orwell's 1984.

In 1923, Kalergi published perhaps his most important work, the Pan-European Manifesto. In this lucid pamphlet he put forward his idea for European unity while also presenting a wider vision of a "New World Order." This is best expressed in the following map:

There are a few points that poorly informed, geopolitically illiterate, low-IQ Alt-Righters may overlook in Kalergi's scheme. Firstly the project of European unity has a distinctly anti-Communist tendency, secondly he completely endorses the idea of European colonial domination over other races, and thirdly he believes that Japan should dominate China. 

The map alone makes this all clear, but it is well backed up by quotes from the Pan-European Manifesto  itself [note: English translation partly corrected by me].

Point One: Kalergi the Anti-Communist

Kalergi talks about three main dangers to Europe, the first is internal strife, while the final one is economic ruin. But it is the second danger which is the most compelling and palpable:

The second danger to a fragmented Europe is conquest by Russia.

Russia is to Europe as once Macedonia was to Greece.

Before Philip’s reign no Greek believed in the Macedonian danger; because Macedonia was then in confusion and anarchy.

But Philip’s genius brought order out of chaos, and after 20 years, the peasant people of Macedonia was strong enough, and the fragmented civilizations of Greece prostrate.

Under the leadership of a red or white dictator Russia could, by good harvests and American and German capital organization, again rise faster than Europe suspects. Then the fragmented and disunited small states of Europe would face a Russian world power whose area is five times as large as the entire European land area.

Neither the small states of Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and the Balkans, nor disarmed Germany, would then be able to repel Russian expansion. The Rhine, Alps, and Adriatic would be Europe’s borders, until these limits fell and Europe became a Western Province of Russia.

Against this danger there is only one salvation: the European union. For a united Europe, there is no Russian threat because it has twice as many people as Russia and a much more developed industry. So the solution to the Russian danger is not in Russia – but in Europe.

The next two decades will be the history of the spectacle of a race between the idea of unification of Europe and Russian re-construction.

Interestingly, this view of a Europe coalescing to fight the threat from Moscow was the song that Nazi propaganda started to sing soon after the German attempt to conquer Russian came to grief at Stalingrad.

Nazi propaganda: Europe must unite to stop Bolshevism

Point Two: Kalergi Champion of Colonialism

As you can see from the map already produced above, Kalergi believed in the European dominion over much of Africa. This is specifically stated in his Manifesto: 

Pan-Europa includes the peninsula between Russia, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea; extending to Iceland and the colonies the European states. The large European colony, located between Tripoli, the Congo, Morocco, and including Portuguese Africa, could supply it with raw materials rationally managed by Europe.

It is also clear in his view -- not unlike that espoused by his fellow Austrian, Adolf Hitler -- that the British Empire should remain in existence:

From many sides, the inclusion of England is required in the future Pan Europa. This claim fails because of the federal construction of the British Empire. The Dominions would never tolerate England swinging towards a closer relationship with another state system other than them; so that makes the connection of the British Empire to Pan-Europa unworkable. The connection of the British Empire to a federal Pan-Europa lapses because of the impossibility of transforming Canada into a European state. The consequence of this attempt in America would be the swallowing of Canada in the Pan American Union and the disintegration of the British Empire.

One feels from this that Kalergi would not have been entirely unsympathetic to the idea of Brexit!

Point Three: Japan as Hegemon of East Asia

One point that may well have influenced Orwell is the existence on Kalergi's map of "Ostasia" (East Asia), later the name of one of the three superstates in the English writer's dystopian novel.  

In Kalergi's scheme, East Asia includes China and the territories of the Japanese Empire. As Japan was clearly the potent power at the time (1923) and China a mess of post-revolutionary chaos, there is only one inference to draw from this, namely that Kalergi's idea of "East Asia" represents Japanese domination, in effect the "Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere" as the Japanese referred to their scheme for continental dominance in WWII. 

This is also backed up in the text:

Asia awoke under Japanese leadership.

Needless to say, none of these major points in his program present Kalergi as the sinister left-wing globalist with a genocidal anti-European agenda, an image that is so cherished by the Alt-Right. Quite the reverse, in fact. 

Having read this, can you be in any doubt where Kalergi stood? The ideas he expressed in the Pan-European Manifesto show a deep love for Europe and would actually place him well to the right of someone like Richard Spencer -- although there is a similar outlandish quality to both men.

Also, if the Alt-Right could be so badly wrong about this, one of their central memes, what else have they been lying to you about?

ARE WESTERN DISSIDENTS BEING PAID TO SHILL KREMLIN PROPAGANDA?

Some surprising people get upset when you collect facts, collate information, and notice patterns, but there can be little doubt that Russia had much to gain by involving itself in the dissident politics of its chief rivals in the Twenty-Tens. I started noticing extremely suspicious patterns of behaviour in the Alt-Right as long ago as 2014, and by 2016 had started recording and documenting them. This was the inspiration for my Dikipedia. But it is also good to see that others have also made the effort. In this article by Thuletide much of what I already have in note form is written up into a comprehensive and fully-sourced article, revealing disturbing links between Moscow and the Dissident Right. (C.Liddell)

by Thuletide

It would not surprise me one iota if some dissidents in the West are being paid to shill Russian propaganda. A good example is Charles Bausman, who owns the pro-Kremlin propaganda website ‘Russia Insider,’ which he founded in 2014 to defend the Russian invasion of the Crimean peninsula. In other words, he was shilling Kremlin war propaganda to gullible idiots in the West. Bausman is reportedly financed by Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, who is sometimes called “Putin’s Soros” (source). Malofeev also funds Russian separatists in Ukraine and founded/funded Aleksandr Dugin’s thinktank ‘Katehon,’ which is dedicated to subverting gullible idiots in the West, and the television channel ‘Tsargrad,’ which hosts Dugin’s TV show (source). Alexander Borodai, the former prime minister of the Russian separatist Donetsk People’s Republic, worked as Malofeev’s public relations consultant (source).

I’ve been talking about the weird Alt-Right and Identitarian links to Aleksandr Dugin for years and it seems that Charles Bausman may provide the missing link between the Alt-Right and the Kremlin. But, before we get into that, here’s some necessary context on Aleksandr Dugin, for those who aren’t familiar (taken from this article):

Dugin’s ideology can be summarized as Neo-Eurasianism combined with Third Worldism and thinly veiled anti-White hatred. Basically, he wants Russia to establish a Neo-USSR, which will span the entire Eurasian continent and be, in his words, the “empire of the end times.”

Dugin has many links to high-ranking Russian officials and is likely a Russian foreign intelligence agent. His father was a colonel-general of Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU), which was founded by Leon Trotsky’s deputy and is essentially the Russian military’s CIA. As such, most of Dugin’s antics are dedicated to subverting foreign political organizations (both Left- and Right-Wing), attempting to get them on board with the Eurasianist agenda. This is why his writing often seems schizophrenic and contradictory; he is a man of many ideological masks. Again, what he actually believes in is creating a Neo-USSR, combined with occultist and eschatological mumbo-jumbo.

A major aspect of Dugin’s ideology and strategy is causing as much chaos in foreign countries as possible, symbolized by his own emblem, the satanic chaos star sigil. As he wrote in Foundations of Geopolitics:

“[Russia should] introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S.”

Foundations of Geopolitics was used as a textbook by the Russian military Academy of the General Staff and it was co-drafted by Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov, head of the Russian Ministry of Defence.

The chaos sigil was used as a logo by the Traditionalist Workers Party, whose leaders (such as Eric Striker) went on to co-found TRS’ National Justice Party. Dugin reportedly delivered a congratulatory speech at the TWP’s founding conference.

Back to Bausman:

The National Justice Party, co-founded by leaders of TheRightStuff.biz and the openly Eurasianist Traditionalist Workers Party, hosts events at a barn owned by Charles Bausman. The five-acre property was purchased by Bausman for $450,000 in 2020 and is also the home of NJP co-founder, Greg Conte (source). Apparently, Eric Striker’s National-Justice website shares a Google Analytics account with Bausman’s Russia Insider and uses the same web code (source). Is Bausman acting as middleman between Kremlin-affiliated financiers and the Alt-Right? It would certainly explain their deranged Duginist ideology.

But just how deep do the Kremlin links go? Eric Striker, NJP’s chief ideologue, was a member of Golden Dawn’s New York chapter, pictured in this 2013 article from the Golden Dawn website (see below).

The Greek nationalist organization is shamelessly pro-Kremlin. In 2014, Golden Dawn published an article titled Golden Dawn in Moscow: We set the foundations of Greek-Russian cooperation after they met with “Russian officials” and Aleksandr Dugin, who they described as “the top advisor for President Putin.” The article stated that “Golden Dawn is a natural ally of Russia, and is fighting American expansionist policies” and that “Greece needs to lead a cultural (and geographical) empire in the Mediterranean region” (imperialism for me but not for thee!). In 2016, the Australian Golden Dawn website stated that “Golden Dawn holds true to its word that should (or when) we take power, to align the Greek state against the Zionists of Washington, and towards our comrades in Moscow.” So, evidently, Eric Stiker has been involved with Kremlin-affiliated circles for a decade or so.

That’s all of the information that I have uncovered on NJP and Bausman so far, but links like this may explain why so many Western dissidents are more dedicated to fellating Putin than they are to stopping the ever-encroaching technocracy. For more information on Alt-Right and Identitarian links to Aleksandr Dugin see this article.

ANDY NOWICKI'S MENTAL BREAKDOWN CONTINUES AS HE LAUNCHES SHAMELESS ATTACK ON FORMER COMRADE

Andy with his talking pillow

Andy Nowicki's ongoing mental breakdown entered a new phase recently when the bald-headed YouTube star launched a "shameless" attack on a former comrade.

Nowicki, who has suffered from increasingly debilitating symptoms of mental illness since his wife divorced him some years ago, crudely misrepresented the ideas of his former comrade in a desperate attempt to gain views for his beleaguered YouTube channel. 

In the 20-minute rant, Nowicki denounced his former colleague's opposition to Putin's invasion of the Ukraine, claiming that Putin was a Christian Saint who "eats Nazis for breakfast," and that the war in the Ukraine only continues because the Ukrainians are too cowardly to surrender. This is a brilliant argument often made by certified lunatics in the Alt-Right.

He also claimed that his former comrade was a highly-paid operative for British intelligence, a bit like James Bond, only better looking.

This strange and mystifying outburst by Nowicki follows other wild allegations by the former college professor that children have been "raped by pizzas" controlled by "evil lizard people who rule the world" and that "they" move South America around without telling anyone. 

IS PUTIN'S SANCTIONS BONANZA OVER?

Thug life: Not pouring oil on troubled waters?

For the last few months we have been subjected to Kremlin propaganda claiming that Putin is benefitting from the economic sanctions designed to hurt him and that Europe in particular is suffering from those sanctions. Like all effective propaganda. it has elements of truth. Indeed, a temporary rise in Kremlin oil and gas revenue was entirely predictable given that the sanctions were applied gradually. But what is the situation more recently?

A story in Bloomberg from two months ago contained this rather revealing graphic:

As you can see, Gazprom shipments to its dominant market had only just begun to plummet from over 200 mcm/day (millions of cubic meters per day) for most of 2022 to around 100 mcm/day.

Also, after an uptick in revenue, caused by the higher price of gas, revenue has also plummeted, although it was still round about its normal level.

Nevertheless, even on this data from two months ago, the direction did not look promising for Putin, with falling sales and plunging revenue. 

So how about more recent data?

An August 9th story from the US Energy and Information Administration said that Russian gas exports to Europe were now at a 20-year low:

Russia’s natural gas exports by pipeline to the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) declined by almost 40% during the first seven months of 2022 compared with the same period in 2021 and by almost 50% compared with the previous five-year (2017–21) average, according to data from Refinitiv Eikon.

On a graph this slump is even more apparent, with the Germans finally getting their act together on sanctions:

Also, although gas prices are high recently, they are still a lot lower than they were in the Zeroes, so the idea that Putin is reaping unprecedented profits, even temporarily, is clearly false:

Source. Price adjusted for inflation

The US is also working hard on hitting Russia's oil revenue by bringing in an internationally agreed price cap on Russian oil with countries like India that are set to take up Russian exports of oil when an EU ban kicks in on December 5th. 

As reported by Reuters:

The United States had constructive talks with Indian officials on a proposal to cap prices of Russian oil, U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said on Friday, as it seeks global support for a proposal to cut Russian revenue. [...]

The Group of Seven richest economies aims to have a price-capping mechanism on Russian oil exports in place by Dec. 5, when European Union sanctions banning seaborne imports of Russian crude come into force.

It's taking some time, but the flow is all in one direction -- gradually tightening the noose around Putin. 

TROTSKY ON THE RISE OF FREEMASONRY

Trotsky, one of the founders of the Soviet Union, cut his ideological teeth on a study of Freemasonry while in prison in Odessa, aged between 20 and 21. Although the manuscript he produced was later destroyed, he recalled his findings in his autobiography My Life written in exile in 1929 on the Turkish island of Büyükada. Freemasonry, Trotsky argued, was basically just 'cultural lag' from the break-up of the medieval guild system.

by Leon Trotsky

Why had the merchants, artists, bankers, officials, and lawyers, from the first quarter of the seventeenth century on, begun to call themselves masons and tried to recreate the ritual of the mediaeval guilds? What was all this strange masquerade about? Gradually the picture grew clearer. The old guild was more than a producing organization; it regulated the ethics and mode of life of its members as well. It completely embraced the life of the urban population, especially the guilds of semi-artisans and semi-artists of the building trades.

The break-up of the guild system brought a moral crisis in a society which had barely emerged from mediaevalism. The new morality was taking shape much more slowly than the old was being cut down. Hence, the attempt, so common in history, to preserve a form of moral discipline when its social foundations, which in this instance were those of the industrial guilds, had long since been undermined by the processes of history.

Active masonry became theoretical masonry.

But the old moral ways of living, which men were trying to keep just for the sake of keeping them, acquired a new meaning. In certain branches of freemasonry, elements of an obvious reactionary feudalism were prominent, as in the Scottish system.

In the eighteenth century, freemasonry became expressive of a militant policy of enlightenment, as in the case of the Illuminati, who were the forerunners of revolution; on its left, it culminated in the Carbonari.

Freemasons counted among their members both Louis XVI and the Dr. Guillotin who invented the guillotine. In southern Germany, freemasonry assumed an openly revolutionary character, whereas at the court of Catherine the Great it was a masquerade reflecting the aristocratic and bureaucratic hierarchy. A freemason Novikov was exiled to Siberia by a freemason empress. Although in our day of cheap and ready-made clothing hardly anybody is still wearing his grandfather’s surtout, in the world of ideas the surtout and the crinoline are still in fashion. Ideas are handed down from generation to generation, although, like grandmother’s pillows and covers, they reek of staleness. Even those who are obliged to change the substance of their opinions force them into ancient moulds. The revolution in industry has been much more far-reaching than it has in ideas, where piece-work is preferred to new structures. That is why the French parliamentarians of the petty bourgeoisie could find no better way of creating moral ties to hold the people together against the disruptiveness of modern relations than to put on white aprons and arm themselves with a pair of compasses or a plumb-line. They were really thinking less of erecting a new building than of finding their way back into the old one of parliament or ministry.

BYUNG-CHUL HAN: SOME BASIC CONCEPTS

The German-based South Korean Philosopher Byung-Chul Han is a critic of the hyper-consumerist and neoliberal society that arose after the fall of the Berlin Wall. In books such as "Fatigue Society," "Psychopolitics," and "The Expulsion of Difference," Hal takes aim at this society and its effects on the individual. These passages, partly edited, come from an article published in El Pais, reporting on a speech he gave at the Center of Contemporary Culture in Barcelona in February 2018.

Domination. "In Orwell’s 1984 society knew it was being dominated. Today we are not even aware of the domination."

Authenticity. "People sell themselves as authentic because everyone wants to be different from the rest. This forces them to produce themselves and this is impossible to do authentically because the desire to be different creates sameness. As a result, the system only allows marketable differences."

Self-exploitation. "Society’s attitude has moved from 'we have to do it' to 'we can do it.' We live with the anguish of not always doing what we are able to do. Today a person exploits themselves believing they are fulfilling themselves. It is the wicked logic of neoliberalism that culminates in the syndrome of the burned-out worker. This has a very damaging effect. There is no one the revolution can attack, repression does not come from other people. It is the “alienation of one’s self that can manifest as anorexia, overeating or the over-consumption of consumer or leisure products."

Big data. “Macrodata has made thought superfluous because if everything is countable everything is the same. We are in the middle of dataism: man is no longer in charge of himself but is instead the result of an algorithmic operation that controls him without him realizing it. We see it in China with the concession of visas according to state data, or in face-recognition technology. Will refusing to share data or be on social networks turn into an act of revolt? We have to adjust the system: the ebook is made to be read, not so I can be read through algorithms. Or does the algorithm now make the man? In the United States, we have seen the influence of Facebook in the elections. We need a digital agreement that restores human dignity and to consider a basic income for professions that will be devoured by new technologies.”

Communication. “Without the presence of another, communication will degenerate into an information exchange: relationships will be replaced by connections, and only connect with the same. Digital communication is just sight, we have lost all our sense, we are at a stage where communication has been weakened like never before: global communication and 'likes' are restricted to what is most similar. Sameness doesn’t hurt!"

Garden. “I am different, I am surrounded by analogue objects. I have two 400 kg pianos and for three years I have grown a secret garden that connects me to reality: colors, scents, feelings. I have allowed myself to notice the earth’s otherness: earth had weight, everything was done by hand, what’s digital has no weight, no resistance, you can move a finger and there it is. It is the abolition of reality. My next book will be called A Eulogy to Earth, the secret garden. Earth is more than digits and numbers."

Narcissism. "being observed is a central part of our being today. But the problem is that the narcissist is blind when it comes to seeing the other, and without this other one cannot create a sense of self-esteem by themselves. Art has also been affected by this trend: It has degenerated into narcissism, it is at the service of the consumer; stupid and unjustifiable quantities of money are spent on it, it is already a victim of the system."

Others. "The greater the similarity between people, the greater the production, this is the current logic. Capitalism needs all of us to be the same, including tourists. Neoliberalism would not work if people were different. To recover our differences we should return to the inner animal, which doesn’t consume or communicate unfortunately. I don’t have concrete solutions. In the end the system might implode by itself. In whatever case, we are living in a radically conformist time. The world is at the limit of its capacities, perhaps it will short circuit and we will recover this inner animal."

Refugees. "With the current neoliberal system refugees do not inspire fear, terror or disgust but are rather seen as a burden, with resentment or envy."

Time. "The way time is used needs to be revolutionized. Time worked is time lost, it is not time for ourselves."

A BRIEF BREAKDOWN OF BRITAIN'S RECORD MILLION+ "MIGRANTS" IN A YEAR

The headline figure is that 1.1 million legal migrants came to Britain in the last year, a massive rise and an all-time record. What makes this more surprising is that it is happening post-Brexit, when the UK has supposedly taken back control of its borders. But what exactly is driving this massive surge in the raw immigration numbers?

But is the number actually accurate? Is the term even accurate? Breakdowns vary, as does terminology. The Daily Mail gives the following numbers, using the term "long-stay visa holders" instead of "migrants":

331,000 work visas

487,000 longer term student visas

82,000 family visas 

230,000 resettlement schemes

TOTAL 1,130,000

While the Home Office has these categories and numbers:

277,069 work-related visas
466,611 Sponsored study visas granted (to both main applicants and their dependants)
301,830 visas and permits granted for family reasons
111,760 decisions on applications for settlement

TOTAL 1,157,000

The higher Daily Mail figures for work and student visas (74,320) must include dependents of those workers and students; while the higher number in resettlement schemes is also buried in the Home Office's 301,830 visas and permits granted for family reasons

But why are the figures sharply up?

Some of these figures are bloated by bottleneck effects caused by Covid and the lockdown. The Daily Mail reports that the work visa number is 72% higher than pre-pandemic and the student visa number is 71% higher. This reflects employers being allowed to bring in skilled and agricultural foreign workers, and universities attracting paying students from abroad, after two years of lockdown.

As for the student visas, these represent large numbers of Indians and Chinese. The Daily Mail reports:

Indians made up the largest nationality among students at almost 118,000 – more than triple the number seen in 2019. They overtook Chinese students, on 115,000.

Meanwhile the Home Office's page claims:

Chinese nationals were the most common nationality granted Sponsored study visas in the year ending March 2022, with 116,967 visas granted, similar to the number seen in the year ending March 2020 (118,291).

The real surge is in the rise of Nigerian students:

Nigerian nationals saw the largest percentage increase in Sponsored Study grants compared with the year ending March 2020, increasing by 49,532 (+529%) to a record high of 58,887, making them the third largest nationality group in the last year.

Suffice to say, it is not really clear what is happening with British immigration, but the signs are not good. Right now, however, there seems to be something of a blip, which will have a downslope. This should enable the government to falsely claim that it is bringing down immigration in time for the next general election.

WHAT A FAKE LITTLE CUNT PAUL JOSEPH WATSON IS

by Colin Liddell

Here is a tweet by Paul Joseph Watson. Whether the image was actually made by a Kremlin meme factory or not, it's just Kremlin propaganda. It's also obviously fake, but still plausible enough to fool a lot of idiots and morons. 

It is a crudely doctored image. Here is the original:

PJW has done this so many times now, there is no way this is an innocent mistake. He knows it's fake, but he doesn't care. PJW you see is a fake little cunt. 

Of course, if you still wanted to simp for the lying little shit you could say:

"I'm not going to chase down as to whether this is real or not, but it's certainly the sort of billboard they would put up."

Or maybe:

"Yes the meme is fake but the point it makes is correct, namely that we are sacrificing too much for the sake of the Ukrainians."

This too is fake and cowardly.

The reason we support the Ukrainians is the same reason we support the police arresting people we don't know who stick knives into other people we don't know. It's as simple as that.

Putin didn't have to invade the Ukraine, and he doesn't have to keep doing it. He could stop, obviously, and send his troops home. Just turning a blind eye to this blatant aggression and historical revanchism is not really a sensible option in the long term, is it? What kind of geopolitical jungle would that create?

But back to PJW, he's not even honestly making those kind of disingenuous arguments, which would be slightly more honest and respectable. Instead he is trying to make his points with actual lies and doctored images.

You'll also notice he is not just retweeting something that someone else on Twitter has tweeted. No, he has uploaded the image himself. This is because he's the one that wants to be retweeted. He knows there are enough morons to make it go viral. So why is he doing this?

Either he is being paid directly to spread disinfo, or else he intuitively knows the Kremlin disinfo machine, which includes thousands of accounts on Twitter, will push his content and make it go viral. This leads to more hits on his content, more name recognition, more donations from dumbasses, and other indirect benefits -- although shagging Lauren Southern clearly isn't one of them.

He knows his content is literally a sham, but he just doesn't care. PJW, you see, is a fake little cunt. Remember that every time you see anything he posts.

As for people on the Dissident Right, PJW is not your friend. He's just another parasite associating your already toxified and ghettoised message with blatant dishonesty and crude Putin shilling. Do you really think that's the way forward? Go say that to yourself in the mirror and see how stupid you look.

"JEWISH CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST" LAURA LOOMER LOSES PRIMARY IN FLORIDA

 

Not an actual picture or Laura Loomer, but near enough

I was kinda, sorta (but not really) hoping that Laura Loomer would pull it off, and win her Congressional primary battle down in Florida, as she's more like a character from a classic pulp comic book than a boring old GOP politician.

Sadly (although not really) it wasn't meant to be. Running on the slogan "Trump Won! I know it. You know it," the larger than life (and vaster than sanity) Alt-Lite figure fell just a few points short, getting a respectable 45% of the vote.

Keeping in tune with her campaign theme, she immediately claimed "voter fraud," and blamed Big Tech for skewing the election. She has a point, because, really, Laura is exactly the kind of phantasmagoric candidate that should be representing the eccentric, elderly, and heavily medicated Floridians who make up the GOP base in the state. 

“I’M NOT CONCEDING!” Laura Loomer attacks the Republican Party and alleges voter fraud after losing GOP primary to incumbent Florida congressman Daniel Webster. #news6 pic.twitter.com/qpuhJUIpyJ

ON KANTBOT AND LOGO DAEDALUS

DAUGHTER OF PUTIN ADVISOR DUGIN KILLED IN CAR BOMB

Darya Dugina, a chip off the old block?

Darya Dugin, the daughter of Putin advisor Alexander Dugin, has been killed in a mysterious car bomb that may also have been intended for her father. 

As the founder of the Eurasian Movement, Alexander Dugin is considered a key intellectual supporter of Putin's wars of aggression in Chechyna, Georgia, and the Ukraine, which seek to reimpose Kremlin control over the so-called "Post-Soviet Space." 

Darya, who was 30 at the time of her unexpected death, was due to travel back from a literary event on Saturday evening with her father. However, at the last moment, Mr. Dugin decided to travel separately from his daughter. 

Darya was far from being an innocent victim. She had been fully initiated into the "family business" of shilling for Putin's aggressive and dangerous wars, in which tens of thousands of lives have already been lost. 

When the city of Mariupol was captured after months of relentless bombardment and thousands of civilian casualties, Darya was quick to visit and gloat over the massacre, taking selfies in the rubble.

In a March 19, 2022 livestream on the Groza YouTube channel (see below), Darya said that the eastern half of the Ukraine must accept the Eurasian Empire, while denouncing the West and Europe as totalitarian racists, colonialists, and Nazis.

Naturally, the Alt-Right, its fellow travellers, and Putin shills are all busted up about this. 

ALT-RIGHT MADMAN E. MICHAEL JONES CLAIMS SALMAN RUSHDIE IS A FED

Deranged fruit loop Jones

Alt-Right madman E. Michael Jones, already famous for a number of crackpot theories, has thrown yet another one on the pile with his "hot take" that Salman Rushdie got stabbed recently purely because he was a Fed who wrote his most famous book "The Satanic Verses" to provoke Muslims into acts of violence so that they would look bad. 

Jones expressed this deranged theory in a recent article for the Putin-shill site, the Unz Review, where he claimed Rushdie was part of a Fed plot to upset Muslims so that America could bomb them on behalf of Israel and the International Jewish conspiracy.

In the clearly deranged article, Jones writes about:

"...the role which Rushdie played as an agent provocateur in a campaign that was designed to provoke violent responses from the Islamic world, which would be then turned around to demonize them."

So, not some Indian writer guy just trying to pen another novel?

He also claims that Rushdie was a complete unknown before The Satanic Verses hit the book shelves in 1988, despite the fact that Rushdie's 1981 debut novel, Midnight's Children, which also dealt with issues of Indo-Islamic identity, was an international best seller.

Jones also links the 1988 publication of The Satanic Verses with the publication 17 years later of a few cartoons ridiculing the Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper and something similar in a French Satirical magazine 24 years later:

"The Satanic Verses paved the way for the Danish cartoon crisis which unfolded on September 30, 2005, after the Danish periodical Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons ridiculing the prophet Muhammad. Then as now the assault on Islamic sensibilities was justified in the name of 'freedom of thought and speech.' But in the light of subsequent events it became clear that the point of these intentionally reckless and provocative acts was the Islamic reaction, which included protests around the world, 'including violence and riots in some Muslim countries.'"

According to fruit-loop Jones, an Indian novel, a Danish newspaper, and a French satire mag, separated by nearly two-and-a-half decades, were the preferred tools used by some sinister US Deep State organisation to provoke a civilisational war between the West and the Islamic World.

No wonder it never happened. 

BOOK REVIEW: BLUE DAWN

America bites back! 

by Edwin Oslan

I’d never actually heard of Blaine Pardoe, the author of Blue Dawn, “the most chilling ‘what-if’ in history… the progressive overthrow of the United States!” until I saw Razorfist interview him after he’d been unceremoniously fired from BattleTech after nearly four decades of writing books and scenarios for the franchise; one which I know nothing about other than it’s a role-playing and military strategy game with robots that fight each other and has a series of novels that tie in with it.

And, while not given any specific reason, it was obvious that Pardoe was fired because of his blatant and unapologetic support for non-woke, right-of-center, pro-MAGA politics. That alone would make me an immediate, unquestioning financial supporter of this man’s work. After all, I’m not gonna lie and say my interest in the music of Iced Earth didn’t increase after guitarist Jon Schaffer was persecuted for wandering into the Capitol building on January 6th and angrily pointing at someone.

So, I didn’t think twice about plunking down the cash and buying Pardoe’s book. That makes what I’m about to say, a mixture of backhanded compliments and otherwise somewhat insulting statements, absolutely okay; especially since I’ve already received my copy of A Most Uncivil War, which is the second book in the Blue Dawn series. Did you really think that a guy who just got fired for his right-of-center politics would limit himself to one book of violent right-wing genre fiction? In fact, Pardoe just tweeted that he’s already in the middle of writing the fifth book in the series!

Blue Dawn is purely and simply MAGA revenge porn. In the afterward, Pardoe attempts to compare his book to Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, with my response being a muttering of “this is so boomer.” There were a lot of moments like that in the book actually. But, as Pardoe said, he could have just written a political tract about where he believes the country is headed after the debacle that was the 2020 election, which I too believe was stolen by the Democrats, and that Joe Biden didn’t actually get 81,000,000 votes, but instead decided to write his points into a quickly paced and entertaining story; because we prefer entertaining stories with good characters and lots of action, rather than someone just reading us a term paper.

That’s all fine and dandy, and in various pressers, Pardoe said that his book “isn’t for everybody.” Uh, ya think? It’s for MAGA people to drool over in delight as, five years after the 2020 Presidential election, the progressives have taken over America, and a resistance movement called – ready for it? – the "Sons of Liberty" hunt down and execute SJWs, feminists, and members of ANTIFA and BLM, both of which are directly named, and blow all the major tech companies, also all of which are directly named, to kingdom come. It’s then meant to swap the sanctimonious social justice of the left for the sanctimonious patriotism of the right. In fact, one conceit that made me roll my eyes was when someone in the Sons of Liberty justifies all the acts of murder and terrorism they’re committing by saying that what sets them apart from their enemies is that they know what they’re doing is wrong, but that it’s necessary. I appreciate the unintentional Machiavellian sentiment, but why not just be honest and admit that you enjoy killing SJWs, feminists, and members of ANTIFA and BLM?

Blue Dawn is basically a cross between a non-racial Turner Diaries with the 1980s Hollywood action thriller Red Dawn, along with the customary Orwellian nu-speak of any typical dystopia and some They Live thrown in at the end. With regards to the racial question, Blue Dawn is entirely free of racism; overt or implicit. The enemies aren’t non-whites but just those in the progressive establishment. And, furthermore, any “Jew in my sandwich” people will be heavily disappointed at Pardoe’s implied philo-Semitism when he writes that Christmas trees and menorahs are seen as religiously oppressive in Newmerica (why not “Nu-Merica”, eh, Blaine?).

What I found really confusing, however, is that, if we on the anti-PC side have made it a point to scoff at Hollywood comic-book-and-action movies which show women easily kicking the crap out of men, one might wonder why Pardoe made two of his female characters -- a White House secret service agent with the androgynous name Charli and bitchy, soulless, uber-killer Caylee, who works for a government organization called the National Security Force (NSF) that carries out Epstein-style assassinations -- the two strongest characters in the book. In fact, Charli’s Bruce-Lee-style ass kicking and Caylee’s bone snapping brutality, which is described in gruesome detail, actually seem rather fetishistic.

Furthermore, I got the impression that Charli is a lesbian by virtue of having short blonde hair and being so, ya know, masculine in demeanor. On the other hand, Caylee for the most part comes off as your career-minded modern woman who doesn’t care who she has to screw over, screw, or kill to get ahead. In one scene, she even pushes up her tits to get some information she needs. But, then, later in the book, Pardoe reveals that Caylee has a buzz cut. How does a woman with a buzz cut use sex appeal to get what she wants? I mean, I suppose it’s possible for a woman who shaves her head to still be sexy and feminine, but it’s not probable. I emailed Pardoe for clarification, but he didn’t respond. Maybe he thought I was trolling him, but I actually wanted to know!

Furthermore this dichotomy between the Sapphic secret service agent and the bitchy career woman could have been resolved in a far more interesting way than what actually happens. Let’s just say, the Caylee redemption arc makes the two blonde female characters near carbon copies of each other. What’s even more frustrating is that, due to a lack of proofreading, Pardoe accidently refers to Charlie as Caylee! I had to read the passage twice just to see that I didn’t miss something, but indeed, he just accidently misnamed his character in that particular instance! It’s almost like even Pardoe finds these two characters to be interchangeable.

There’s a third female character named – ready for it? – Karen. Karen is the overweight, hyper narcissistic sister of Andrew Forrest, the son of Arthur Forrest, a college professor who was thrown into a gulag for sticking steadfastly to his principles of truth and free speech, which went against the speech codes of Newmerica. Karen, who is described as your typical blue-haired, feminist land whale and had her surname changed to Forrester to disassociate with her brother and father, is the one who caused her own father to be arrested for not conforming to the speech codes of Newmerica, just so she could get a position in the Social Enforcers (SE), the other government organization, which isn’t covert like the NSF, and puts every useful idiot of the progressive movement into a position of power.

And, again, like with the other two female characters, Pardoe blows a great opportunity to have Caylee and Karen in a final standoff. It certainly seems this is where the story is heading when Caylee arrives at Andrew Forrest’s apartment to investigate for her organization, only to find the Social Enforcers already there ransacking the place, and is rudely turned away by Karen, who clearly gets wet from exercising the tiny bit of power that was doled out to her. Having Caylee make Karen eat crow and show her who really has the power would have been a far more satisfying and edifying conclusion to the Karen arc than what’s in the book.

Otherwise, Blue Dawn is pretty entertaining from start to finish, even if the reveals are predictable and kind of cringeworthy. There’s absolutely no reason why the reader needs to be kept in suspense in order to find out that the package that’s hidden away in Mt. Rushmore contains the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and an American flag. And, furthermore, the main story revolves around the fact that, after the progressives took over the country, they staged President Trump’s death, but that Trump actually got away… only to get killed while making his escape. However, when it’s revealed that the Sons of Liberty are harboring a secret successor to the President, Pardoe could have thought just a little outside of the box, rather than making the successor, ugh, Mike Pence. I mean, come on; even during Trump’s Presidency, Mike Pence was a total bore. And, then, after January 6th, he turned out to be a typical neoconservative and turncoat; making this fictionalized version of Mike Pence as the true blue American patriot pretty damn silly.

Also, in Newmerica, food and healthcare are rationed, all the guns have been confiscated, Mt. Rushmore is made illegal to visit, “undesirable” jobs are outsourced overseas, institutions like George Washington University are renamed Sojourner Truth University, the character Andrew Jackson Forrest loses social credit points for not actively changing his “problematic” first and middle name, and there’s of course limits on speech; you have “free speech” as long as it’s not “hate speech.” Pardoe does astutely point out that, once the progressives “won”, they would start to eat at each other, and that they’re so bad at managing their oppressive system of government, that it becomes a paper tiger. In fact, it seems as though the inevitable victory by the Sons of Liberty comes a little too easy.

There’s also a completely separate storyline involving a Hispanic boy named Raul, who goes to work for a public works project in Detroit only to come head to head with a group of Muslim Arabs from Dearborn, a neighboring suburb of Detroit. You can probably already guess where this is heading; the Muslims, being part of a so called “oppressed” religious minority, are made SEs and immediately waste no time using their new found power to impose Sharia Law on all of Metro Detroit, resulting in a violent confrontation that moves Raul’s character along.

But Pardoe made one GLARING error that only people from Metro Detroit, where yours truly lives, would notice; he refers to the Muslims as Chaldeans. I was so taken aback by this mistake, that I immediately emailed Pardoe with the following message:

"I'm reading Blue Dawn, and I read the part where you said the Chaldean SEs were on a rampage against the Hispanics. This is fundamentally incorrect. Chaldeans aren't Muslims. They are Catholics, and they don't live in Dearborn; they live in West Bloomfield, Farmington Hills, Troy, and Sterling Heights. If anything, they would be on the side of the Catholic Hispanics, because they're not fans of Muslims; Chaldeans reportedly cheered when zoning laws prevented a mosque from being built around where they live. AND there's no way in hell they'd be Social Enforcers, because Chaldeans are overwhelmingly Republican. I'm enjoying your book, but as a Michigander, I felt I needed to mention this."

Chaldeans are basically wannabe Guidos who run liquor stores; macho, short tempered, and aggressive drivers? Sure. But, they’re NOT Muslims. I also found it odd how, in spite of this Hispanic Catholic vs. Muslim Arab storyline, he didn’t manage to work Rashida Tlaib or Ilhan Omar into the story. You might be thinking, “Why would he do that?” Well, he made Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the head of the NSF! Actually, the physical description is AOC, but the actions, which include secretly taking out political enemies, are closer to Hillary Clinton. As I said, Blue Dawn is boomer as fuck.

Blaine Pardoe also said in the presser that the book is meant to provoke discussion and raise questions. Okay, here’s a question then: Is Charli a lesbian?
