The British Roots Of The US Deep State: How The Round Table Infiltrated America

By Matthew Ehret

OrientalReview.org, July 6, 2019: With the nearly weekly revelations that the British Foreign Office, MI6, and GCHQ have been behind the long standing agenda to undermine the Presidency of Donald Trump and undo the peaceful alliance between nationalist leaders in America, Russia, China and elsewhere, a new focus on the British hand in undermining the United States has become a serious thought for many citizens. In the first week of the new year, fuel was added to this fire when internal memos were leaked from the British-run Integrity Initiative featuring a startling account of the techniques deployed by the anti-Russian British operation to infiltrate American intelligence institutions, think tanks and media.

For those who may not know, The Integrity Initiative is an anti-Russian propaganda outfit funded to the tune of $140 million by the British Foreign office. Throughout 2019, leaks have been released featuring documents dated to the early period of Trump’s election, demonstrating that this organization, already active across Europe promoting anti-Russian PR and smearing nationalist leaders such as Jeremy Corbyn, was intent on spreading deeply into the State Department and setting up “clusters” of anti-Trump operatives. The documents reveal high level meetings that Integrity Initiative Director Chris Donnelly had with former Trump Advisor Sebastien Gorka, McCain Foundation director Kurt Volker, Pentagon PR guru John Rendon among many others.

The exposure of the British hand behind the scenes affords us a unique glimpse into the real historical forces undermining America’s true constitutional tradition throughout the 20th century, as Mueller/the Five Eyes/Integrity Initiative are not new phenomena but actually follow a modus operandi set down for already more than a century. One of the biggest obstacles to seeing this modus operandi run by the British Empire is located in the belief in a mythology which has become embedded in the global psyche for over half a century and which we should do our best to free ourselves of.

Did Vladimir Putin Just Admit Russian Responsibility for the Novichok Poisonings in England's Green and Pleasant Land?

As anyone visiting here on a more or less regular basis will know, we have written a number of posts about the Novichok poisonings in England of the Russian traitor, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter Julia, and also the British citizens, Charlie Rowley and Dawn Sturgess.

Throughout, we have been skeptical of the British position that the poisonings were perpetrated by the Russian state, roused to seek vengeance against Skripal, despite having formerly pardoned him in connection with a spy swap. Rather, it seemed to us more probable that the poisonings were a charade undertaken by British security services as means to stoke public antipathy toward Russia.

Our assessment has now to be questioned in light of Vladimir Putin's remarks on the case that were addressed to former UK Prime Minister Teresa May during the recent G20 summit.

Specifically, Putin said:

“Treason is the gravest crime possible and traitors must be punished. I am not saying the Salisbury incident is the way to do it, but traitors must be punished.”
Sounds pretty much like a confession of Russian responsibility to me, which in itself, makes the statement remarkable. But if it is a confession, it raises the question: for what was Sergei Skripal being punished? Not presumably, for the treasonous acts for which he was formerly convicted, jailed and subsequently pardoned.

The Russian State English Language broadcaster, RT, puts some spin on Putin's comment, stating:

At the same time, [Putin] made it clear that the poisoning of the former double agent Sergei Skirpal and his daughter Yulia, which took place in the British town of Salisbury back in March 2018 and was blamed on Russia by London, is definitely “not the way to do it.”

The president explained that the former Russian intelligence colonel already received his punishment under Russian law as he served his time in prison and was therefore “off the radar.”

He reiterated that this whole affair had little to do with Russia, while maintaining that London has failed to present any sufficient proof of Moscow’s alleged guilt to the public till this day.
Which, does not, it seems to me, settle the matter. Putin has exceptional skill in the diplomatic use of words, and RT's spin does little negate what seems the most plausible interpretation of his comment.

However, it is possible that Putin's statement was, in fact, a taunt, a taunt based on the knowledge, shared with Theresa May to whom his remark was addressed, that Sergei Skripal was a triple agent, who, having moved to England, ostensibly to continue in the service of the British to whom he had betrayed Russia, was in fact, acting in the service of Russia.

It might well then have been that his allegiance to Russia, having been discovered by the Brits, became the justification for a British charade intended to demonize Russia. That would explain the look of disgust, or is it despair, on Theresa May's face, during her interaction with Putin at the G20 Tokyo summit.

One hopes that Rob Slane, former UK Ambassador Craig Murray, and others who have been skeptical of the official British narrative of this peculiar case will offer their perspective on Putin's comment.

Boeing's Deadly Penny-Pinching Stupidity

Boeing corporation has [had, now zero] only one aeronautical engineer on its board of directors, Dennis Muilenburg, who serves as President, Chairman, and Chief Operating Officer. With the exception of a couple of book-keepers, other board members appear to be of little more than decorative value, vanity board members, including such engineering notables as Caroline Kennedy, daughter of JFK, and just appointed Nikki Haley, former US Ambassador to the UN.

Apparently Boeing's management, i.e., Mr. Muilenberg, doesn't give a damn about aircraft safety, only about saving a buck, a supposition confirmed by Bloomberg News, which reports that the defective software that brought down two of Boeing's newly introduced 737MAX airliners was written by immigrant subcontractors earning as little as $9 an hour. This at a time when the company was laying off experienced engineers.

Increasingly, according to Bloomberg

... the iconic American planemaker and its subcontractors have relied on temporary workers making as little as $9 an hour to develop and test software, often from countries lacking a deep background in aerospace -- notably India.

In offices across from Seattle’s Boeing Field, recent college graduates employed by the Indian software developer HCL Technologies Ltd.occupied several rows of desks, said Mark Rabin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a flight-test group that supported the Max.

The coders from HCL were typically designing to specifications set by Boeing. Still, “it was controversial because it was far less efficient than Boeing engineers just writing the code,” Rabin said. Frequently, he recalled, “it took many rounds going back and forth because the code was not done correctly.”...

Based on resumes posted on social media, HCL engineers helped develop and test the Max’s flight-display software, while employees from another Indian company, Cyient Ltd., handled software for flight-test equipment.

And there were other benefits to using incompetent Indian contractors.

Boeing’s cultivation of Indian companies appeared to pay other dividends. In recent years, it has won several orders for Indian military and commercial aircraft, such as a $22 billion one in January 2017 to supply SpiceJet Ltd. That order included 100 737-Max 8 jets and represented Boeing’s largest order ever from an Indian airline, a coup in a country dominated by Airbus.

Seemingly, the American drive to corporate monopolism isn't working well. Without competition, terminal stupidity is setting in. What to do? Break up the corrupt and increasingly useless behemoths and recreate the productive competitive free market economy that American capitalists have always said they believed in.

Dalai Lama Says What It's Criminal for a White Person to Say: The Europeans are Being Suicided by Mass Replacement Immigration

"The whole of Europe will eventually become a Muslim African country" — unless refugees are sent back.

Phew, saying that would get you labelled a hate speaker, a racist, a white supremacist and a Nazi — if you're white, that is.

The fact that what the Dalai Lama said is true is, of course, beside the point. Indeed, it is because what the Dalai Lama said is true that such speech must be suppressed.

Specifically, what must be suppressed is an awareness of the simple arithmetical consequences of importing masses of philoprogenitive people of alien race, religion and culture to nations afflicted by a reproductive dysfunction.

All of the European-majority nations have a below replacement fertility rate, in many cases a fertility rate barely half the replacement rate. Mass immigration to those nations intensifies the reproductive failure of the native populations and speeds the genocidal replacement of the indigenous nation.

Only an  awareness of the fate picked out for them by the globalist Treason Party can save the European peoples. Hence the ruthless suppression of anti-immigrationist speech.

The Europeans are the lobsters in the slowly warming pot: doomed.by the agents of globalization, Merkel, Micron, May, and their predecessors.

Well said Dalai Lama: Free Tibet!

Is Gabbard the only sane candidate for the 2020 Presidential election?

Of the first Democratic Presidential Candidate's debate, Reason magazine reports
When asked about what she would do about the gender pay gap, the Hawaii representative declined to answer the moderators' lady question, instead choosing to denounce our current interventionist foreign policy.

A good response, although she might have pointed out that it was a bullshit question. The US is an avowedly capitalist country. That means wages are determined by supply and demand. If women take jobs at lower wages than men, that means either that, overall, the market does not value female workers as highly as male workers — which makes sense for all sorts of reason (for instance, men do not generally take maternity leave or quit work early to have children, women do), or women are bad negotiators. Either way, its not something for legislators to legislate about unless they are anti-capitalists, i.e., socialists aka totalitarian communists, like Bernie Sanders.

Later in the debate, when Rep. Tim Ryan (D–Ohio) referenced the recent deaths of two U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan as a reason to continue our war in the country, Gabbard was having none of it, saying:
"Will you tell the parents of those two soldiers that were killed in Afghanistan that we have to be engaged? That is unacceptable. We have lost so many lives, we have spent so much money..."

It takes a military veteran, apparently, to understand what war is about. 

No surprise, then, that Gabbard was the hands down winner of the debate according to post-debate polls. With Gabbard as the Democrat candidate, Trump's reelection would be in real doubt. Trouble is, the entrenched leaders of the Democrat party probably hate rational anti-war candidates even more than the Republican leadership does.

Google's War on Trump: The Treason of a Globalist Corporation

Corporate interests have long taken care to ensure that the people of the democratic Western nations express their democratic will as the corporate interests require. Hence the corporate control of the media — initially, the most influential, big-city newspapers, then radio, then TV, and in recent years, most of the book publishing industry, and now the Internet.

What's new with the corporate control of the internet is that companies such as Google and Facebook can read your mail, watch your web clicks and links and apply artificial intelligence to tailor what you see of the world in ways that best regulate your thinking and moral judgement, and hence your voting, buying, and breeding behavior to best serve the New World Order, aka, the globalist Money Power.

Uhuh! Didn't take Google long to take down the Project Veritas video revealing Google's approach to election interference. But it's still up on the Project Veritas Web site here. If CanSpeccy goes blank you will likely be able to guess why. As it is, the  number of hits we have had from Google.com today is well down on the usual number by around half. Coincidence?



Meantime, as Zero Hedge reportsGoogle's "transparency and ethics" group are:

calling prominent Jewish conservatives Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager "Nazis," along with Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, who is not Jewish.

But as as Justin Trudeau could truthfully say, that's what we liberals always do, we call our opponents racists, white supremacists and Nazis.

Government Slaves, June 25, 2019: A new document leaked Tuesday appears to show a Google engineer suggesting in an internal email that classifying prominent conservatives as “Nazis” could help the company wipe out far-right content.

“Today it is often 1 or 2 steps to Nazis, if we understand that Prager U, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro et al are Nazis using the dog whistles you mention in step 1,” Liam Hopkins, a machine learning recruiter at Google, said in the email, which was obtained by Project Veritas (PV).

Here in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn't bother with intervening steps. He just outright calls the leader of the opposition, Andrew Scheer, a Nazi, which is to be expected now that hate speech is among the chief weapons in the liberal armory.

Jordan Peterson Has One Thing Right: Identity Politics Is Bullshit Harmful to Children

Idiots, lunatics and revolutionary sons-of-bitches in Justin Trudeau's morally perfect Canadian universe are now waging war on Western civilization while threatening the mental health of small children by telling them that they are neither boys nor girls.

Jordan Peterson, the University of Toronto psychologist who we have ridiculed for his absurd IQ-ist claims, is thus to be applauded for his courageous public stand on the reality of human sexual differentiation between male and female, despite the enraged antagonism of University of Toronto crackpots and activists, backed by the Ontario Human Rights Commission and the Trudeau government.

Yes, some individuals do not fit neatly into either the male or female category, whether that be for physical or psychological reasons. Yes, those people deserve consideration. But Hell no, those people, or rather the malign SJW's who seek to exploit them, have no business indoctrinating children with the the totally false and indeed insane idea that there are no "real" boys or girls. Such perverse propaganda can do harm and its proponents should be shut up. Jordan Peterson is among the few people with the balls to tell them to shut up.

Writing in the National Post yesterday,  Peterson states:

National Post, June 21, 2019: The continually expanded plethora of “identities” recently constructed and provided with legal status ...  consist of empty terms which (1) do not provide those who claim them with any real social role or direction; (2) confuse all who must deal with the narcissism of the claimant, as the only rule that can exist in the absence of painstakingly, voluntarily and mutually negotiated social role is “it’s morally wrong to say or do anything that hurts my feelings”; (3) risks generating psychological chaos among the vast majority of individuals exposed to the doctrines that insist that identity is essentially fluid and self-generating (and here I’m primarily concerned about children and adolescents whose standard or normative identity has now merely become one personal choice among a near-infinite array of ideologically and legally defined modes of being), and (4) poses a further and unacceptably dangerous threat to the stability of the nuclear family, which consists, at minimum, of a dyad, male and female, coming together primarily for the purposes of raising children in what appears to be the minimal viable social unit (given the vast and incontrovertible body of evidence that fatherlessness, in particular, is associated with heightened risk for criminality, substance abuse, and poorly regulated sexual behaviour among children, adolescents and the adults that they eventually become).

Prompting this return to the subject that first brought Peterson to wide public attention, was a report by journalist, Barbara Kay,

 
National Post, June 21, 2019: about an application filed before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario by the parents of a six year girl, “N,” who was made subject to the new tenets of gender identity theory by her hypothetically well-meaning elementary school teacher at Devonshire Community Public School (Ottawa-Carleton District School Board). According to Kay’s account, the teacher insisted to the children that “there is no such thing as girls and boys,” and “girls are not real and boys are not real.” In consequence, “N” began to manifest substantial confusion about her identity. She asked her parents why her existence as a girl was not real. She asked to see a doctor for an opinion. She became unsettled about the reality of her biological existence. Her concern persisted over a three-month period — a long time in the life of a young person.
Peterson continues:

National Post, June 21, 2019: I can barely envision a pedagogical strategy less conducive to stable early childhood development, particularly for a thoughtful child, which is exactly what “N” seems to be — much to her detriment, in this situation. Trusting her teacher, as she apparently did, “N” listened to her lessons and tried to think through what the complicated and internally contradictory mess of information she was presented with might actually signify — and failing, as was inevitable, because there is nothing that it signifies that is reasonable, logical, practical, or true. No matter: “gender fluidity” is school board policy, even for six-year-olds, and the distress of a perfectly normal child at the lessons is a price well worth paying to ensure that ideological purity, no matter how counterproductive and absurd, is stringently maintained. Better the child suffers than the teacher thinks. Better the entire educational system reformulates itself around the new dogma (and to hell with the possibility that the experiment might go wrong) than the ideologues governing its structure question their absurd and fundamentally resentful presumptions.

And much more. An article contributing importantly to the preservation of Canadian national sanity.

How SJW's Oppose Common Sense and Hate Social Justice

Speaking before a Congressional Committee, a young black American stating what a wise black American would want for his fellow black Americans, gets jeered by Democrats and demeaned by the Democrat committee chair.

Nothing odd about that. The SJW movement is a scam. It serves to arouse emotion and cloud judgment, thereby to distract the attention of the populace from the looting of society by the globalist elite, busy offshoring jobs, turning education into a program of victim-funded brain-washing.



And just look at the faces behind the speaker. What a bunch of sour pusses and losers.

How Britain Wages War in Yemen

Philip May, husband of failed former UK Prime Minister, Thereason May, is a Senior Executive of Capital Group, a £1.4Tn investment firm which is the largest shareholder in Britain's largest defense contractor BAE Systems. BAE Systems, as it happens, has huge contracts with the Government of Saudi Arabia for the supply of weapons, equipment maintenance and the provision of engineers inside Saudi Arabia.

Thus, according to a Guardian report:

“The Saudi bosses absolutely depend on BAE Systems,” John Deverell, a former MoD mandarin and defence attache to Saudi Arabia and Yemen, told me. “They couldn’t do it without us.” A BAE employee recently put it more plainly to Channel 4’s Dispatches: “If we weren’t there, in seven to 14 days there wouldn’t be a jet in the sky.”

The British bombs that rain down on Yemen are produced in three towns: Glenrothes in Scotland, and Harlow and Stevenage in south-east England. Bombs roll off production lines owned by Raytheon UK and BAE Systems, firms contracted by the government to manufacture Paveway bombs (£22,000 apiece), Brimstone bombs (£105,000 apiece), and Storm Shadow cruise missiles (£790,000 apiece) for the Saudi Royal Air Force. BAE, under government contract, also assembles the jets that drop these bombs in hangars just outside the village of Warton, Lancashire.

Once these weapons arrive in Saudi Arabia, Britain’s involvement is far from over. The Saudi military lacks the expertise to use these weapons to fight a sustained air war – so BAE, under another contract to the UK government, provides what are known as “in-country” services. In practice, this means that around 6,300 British contractors are stationed at forward operating bases in Saudi Arabia. There, they train Saudi pilots and conduct essential maintenance night and day on planes worn out from flying thousands of miles across the Saudi desert to their targets in Yemen. They also supervise Saudi soldiers to load bombs on to planes and set their fuses for their intended targets.

Around 80 serving RAF personnel work inside Saudi Arabia. Sometimes they work for BAE to assist in maintaining and preparing aircraft. At other times they work as auditors to ensure that BAE is fulfilling its Ministry of Defence contracts. Additional RAF “liaison officers” work inside the command-and-control centre, from where targets in Yemen are selected.

America, A Failed State?

Is America a failed, or at least an about to fail, state?

Judge for yourself.

Here's Charles Hugh Smith's evaluation of America's largest institutions:

1. Healthcare: a failed system doomed to bankrupt the nation.

2. Defense: a failed system of cartels and Pentagon fiefdoms that have saddled the nation with enormously costly failed weapons systems like the F-35 and the LCS (you know, those weird ships with hulls that slope in, not out, toward the top).

3. Higher Education: a bloated, failed system that is bankrupting an entire generation while mis-educating them for productive roles in the emerging economy. (I cover this in depth in The Nearly Free University and the Emerging Economy and Get a Job, Build a Real Career and Defy a Bewildering Economy.)

4. Foreign policy: Iraq: a disaster. Afghanistan: a disaster. Libya: a disaster. Syria: a disaster. Need I go on?

5. Political governance: a corrupt system of self-serving elites, lobbyists, pay-to-play, corporate puppet-masters*, and sociopaths who see themselves as above the law.
*Cf. Boeing corporation and the 737MAX, a botched aircraft design and an accident that did not wait to happen — twice.

How Liberals Do Genocide

The British upper classes have always hated the mass of their lower class compatriots. In the 19th and the first two-thirds of the 20th Century these stinking masses were needed to work the industrial machine, “solve the servant problem” to use a Bushism, staff the brothels, and as necessary, lay down their lives in wars with European rivals.

But they were always hated.

Hence the Duke of Wellington’s characterization of the troops he used to win the Battle of Waterloo:

scum of the earth.

Hence the quote from Disraeli’s novel, Sybil, about:

Two nations; between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets; who are formed by a different breeding, are fed by a different food, are ordered by different manners, and are not governed by the same laws . . . . THE RICH AND THE POOR.

Hence the motion carried by the Eton College debating society in the 1930’s:

The faces of the poor should be ground,

with the amendment that:

The faces of the poor should be underground.

That was a time of open upper class advocacy of eugenics — by among others, Francis Darwin, Maynard Keynes, Winston Churchill and the Fabian socialists H.G. Welles and George Bernard Shaw, the latter appealing to scientists to develop a "humane" gas for exterminating the unproductive.

Today, the same hatred manifests in a genocidal policy of reproductive suppression and mass replacement immigration (yes they need people to keep the real estate development racket going, the greatest source of wealth in Britain, and other Western nations), but not the hated white lower classes. Any people are considered better than that, even the settler Muslims who openly proclaim that “Europe is the Cancer, Islam is the answer.”

This is how liberals do genocide — in Britain, in France, in Germany, in Canada, and in the US of A.

Trashing White Britain

Human Events June 18, 2019: Step into the shoes of a UK supermarket manager. You have gained experience in dealing with customer complaints, some more reasonable than others. Now you are confronted with an irate woman in her thirties, pointing to a cabinet full of fresh produce. She cannot bear to touch any of the items because they are emblazoned with Union Jack packaging.
“Why are you promoting nationalism? This is so divisive.”
“Well”, you calmly reply, “many of our customers like to support British farmers.”
“It’s disgusting”, she shouts back. “I won’t come back to one of your fascist shops again.”
This was an actual exchange described by a woman on Facebook. A perfect illustration of the British social divide: a member of the privileged, progressive middle class taking umbrage at the parochial, patriotic sentiment of ordinary people.
For this person, any expression of national pride or belonging is offensive jingoism. Not surprisingly, her profile identified herself as a Remainer who wants Britain to stay in the European Union.

The Dismemberment of Thinking

James Howard Kunstler: Who knew that these mid-cycle days of the long emergency (i.e. the collapse of techno-industrial economies) would feature the willful abandonment of reason by the thinking class of Western Civ, and America extra-specially? Reminder: the basic catalyst for collapse is over-investments in complexity with diminishing returns. The rest follows from there.

Another name for diminishing returns is blowback. The Internet is certainly the most complex assembly of human thought in human history and it is blowing back ferociously on humanity in ways that are far from obvious. It has set in motion countless recursive feedback loops of misinformation, disinformation, and ideas that are simply bad in the sense that they don’t comport with reality. Hence, the new elastic meaning of the concept known as “truth.”

Capital T Truth used to be mankind’s conduit to reality. To even state it that way now may invite censure for sexism, since the word “man” has lately been burdened with toxic overtones; while the concept of sexism itself is tinged with the unreal notion that the hard-wired tensions between men and women should not be allowed to exist and must be abolished. That’s how hopelessly complex it’s getting. The divorce between truth and reality is nearly complete now that everybody has his/her/zhe’s own truth, and the facts are just ornaments subject to rearrangement within anyone’s own story.

The stupendous failures of authority driving America to political collapse are one manifestation of these dynamics, and one that might concern the thinking class, if it wasn’t so busy mind-fucking itself and everybody else.

Court Whumps Oberlin College SJW's With $44 Million Penalty for Moronic Acts of Anti-White Racism

Are You Eating Yourself Stupid?

A while ago, we embarked on a series of posts entitled Twelve Rules for Life. Our first rule was CUT OUT SUGAR.

After that, we said something about how to show leadership. Then the project fizzled for lack of ten more ideas. However, a new paper by Australian National University Professor Nicolas Cherbuin confirms that we were on the right track, at least about sugar. 

In a recent paper in Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, Cherbuin and associates reported that brain health can decline much earlier in life than previously thought due, in large part, to a rotten diet based on junk food (i.e., high in an addictive combination of fats and sugar). Thus, as reported at MedicalExpress, Cherbuin et al. have found that:
"People are eating away at their brain with a really bad fast-food diet and little-to-no exercise, ...

30 percent of the world's adult population is either overweight or obese, and more than 10 percent of all adults will suffer from type 2 diabetes by 2030."
What's more, Cherbuin's group report that:
Although, the "link between type 2 diabetes and the rapid deterioration of brain function is already well established,"

"... our work shows that neurodegeneration, or the loss and function of neurons, sets in much, much earlier [than previously understood]—we've found a clear association between this brain deterioration and unhealthy lifestyle choices."
And here's the punch line:
"People are eating away at their brain with a really bad fast-food diet and little-to-no exercise."
So if we ever get around to it writing about it, our Third Rule for Life will be: Exercise daily.

US Secretary of State, Pompeo, Promises Political Interference in Britain

Speaking at a private meeting with [American] "Jewish leaders", to discuss the Trump Administration's Middle East peace plan, US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, was asked:
if Corbyn [Leader of the UK Labour Party] “is elected, would you be willing to work with us to take on actions if life becomes very difficult for Jews in the U.K.?”
In response Pompeo is reported to have said:
“It could be that Mr. Corbyn manages to run the gantlet and get elected. It’s possible. You should know, we won’t wait for him to do those things to begin to push back. We will do our level best...

It’s too risky and too important and too hard once it’s already happened.”
Which, according to the same report, evoked "a voracious round of applause" from the attending "Jewish leaders."

So much for Jewish and American respect for the British people. And really why should they respect them when the British leadership is so committed to another country.

Pompeo is the man who boasted that, when he was Director of the CIA We lied, we cheated, we stole. And they take pre-emptive action, apparently, to ensure the outcome of a British election is satisfactory to Jews.

Britain's Change UK (CUK) Party Considers Merger with the Lib Dems (LDs) to Form the CUKoLDs Pary

Guido Fawkes reports that Change UK, or CUK, Party MP's:
will meet tomorrow to discuss the future of their fledgling party. Guido understands that five of their eleven MPs think the game is up and will push to disband the party, with some even wanting to move to join the Lib Dems ...
So the CUKs, whose chief policy is for Britain to Remain forever shackled to the EU, thereby ensuring a foot permanently wedged in the door to allow endless replacement immigration as the fertility of the indigenous population is evermore suppressed by immigrant competition for jobs and housing, really is considering a merger with the Lib Dem Party to form what will undoubtedly become known as the CUKoLD party.

Which confirms that life is stranger than anything you could invent.

And in this connection, according to the Voice of Europe
Official reports have revealed that in 2018, more than 600,000 migrants arrived in the United Kingdom ...
Wow. That's twice as many people as migrated in 2018 to Canada, a country 76 times as large as England, where most of Britain's immigrants settle.

Execution of the Duke of Monmouth for Treason
They should change the name of the country from the United Kingdom to the United Cuckdom. Either that or send all the cucks in Parliament to the Tower of London, there to have their heads chopped in the fine old traditional English manner. Unfortunately, only Parliament has the sovereign authority to order such action and the parliamentary majority seems to be for, not against, the cucks.

So good-bye England. Hello Cucked Britain and welcome to Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London and de facto head of the Occupation Authority.

Bullshit Debunked, No. 79: Race Is a Social Construct

The Maverick Philosopher, Bill Vallicella, quotes a correspondent on the claim that "Race is a social construct":
What do they even mean? ... What could it mean to say that race is a "social construct"? Do they mean that there are no biological or ancestral differences at all between Whites and Blacks and Orientals? That's just ridiculous -- like saying there are no biological differences between human beings and gorillas.

I think in most cases they don't mean anything much. They haven't thought about it. It's a smart-sounding phrase they picked up from PBS or from some half-wit university lecturer. It's the kind of thing the bien pensant people say. So they say it too. And they know that, whatever it really means, it must be true and morally right to say it. They know that only Nazis disagree. I've talked to some educated intelligent Leftists who say stuff like this. They usually just retreat to Lewontin's fallacy—more differences within races than between, and all of that. Again, it seems they just don't want to think about it and they use these dumb phrases as a way to avoid thinking. The dumb phrases change once in a while. I guess in earlier decades we'd hear more about how "There is only one race, the human race". But it may be a mistake to expect any clear or coherent meaning behind these propaganda phrases.

How Big Tech Will Corrupt Canada's Federal Election This Fall

Jim Balsillie, former CEO of Research in Motion, among Canada's brightest tech innovators, explained today on CBC's morning radio program, the Current, how Mark Zuckerberg and a handful of other tech tycoons will rig our election this fall.

Balsillie interviewed today, on CBC Radio's The Current.

To ensure a fair election, all that the Government of Canada need do is place Canada's political parties under the privacy regulations. However, the Liberal Party in power, having confidence in the liberal bias of big tech, has explicitly denied any intention to take the necesssary action to safeguard the integrity of Canada's next Federal election.

So if you think Canada should have fair elections, send the above links to your MP and ask what they action they will take to ensure a fair election this fall.

How Britain's PC Defenders of Islamic Clit-Clippers Pounded on "Racist" John Cleese for Regretting the Cultural Genocide of His Own People

Speaking of the place of his nativity, London, England,  John Cleese recently remarked:

London is not really an English city any more
This generated the predictable storm of anti-British hate-speech from Britain's ruling Treason class.

Opposing destruction of your own nation's culture to accommodate millions of settler immigrants is vilest racism according to Britain's dictators of political correctness and their mouthpieces at the BBC, the Independent, the Gruniard, etc., etc.

Uncowed, Cleese responded to the condemnation by, in effect, calling the cultural transformation of London, England's greatest city, cultural genocide:

I think it's legitimate to prefer one culture to another

For example, I prefer cultures that do not tolerate female genital mutilation.

This will be considered racist by all those who hover, eagerly hoping that someone will offend them - on someone else's behalf, naturally.
And Cleese spoke only about culture.

That London has been ethnically cleansed of the majority of its English inhabitants is perhaps too hot a topic even for John Cleese to mention. It would be like Jews in Nazi Germany objecting to the Holocaust. No, today, in Britain, opposing the genocide of your own people is not only horribly racist, it is probably illegal too.

Canadian Liberals Think Treason — Stupidly

NaPo's John Ivison Reports:

A piece Tuesday by respected Toronto Star columnist Chantal Hébert suggested a group of Liberal “insiders” had been strategizing on a conference call to replace Justin Trudeau with the current governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, in the event the party fares badly in October’s election.
A case of replacing a lightweight with a featherweight. 

Liberal insiders, Ivison further reports,

are convinced Carney would be the Messiah, and they’re in a good position to know, having followed a few (take a bow Michael Ignatieff and Paul Martin).
Moreover, says Ivison,

There is a feeling in the broader Liberal movement that he [Trudeau] is becoming a liability.
LOL. They only just noticed?

What If the the Brits Vote at a General Election as They Voted in Last Week's Euro Election

Source

Note: Thereason May's Conservative Party with Nil, Zero, Nuthin'. LOL.

Headline of the Week, No. 79

Breitbart: 

Pro-EU Change UK, Liberal Democrats Could Form CUK-LD Alliance

Ted Heath, Treason, The Treason Prize, and Theresa May

Today, in the Daily Express, aka The Daily Basket Case, it is reported that:

EDWARD HEATH has not only been accused of lying to the electorate when he took Britain into the bloc but, according to newly-resurfaced reports, the former Prime Minister also received a financial reward that would be the equivalent of £1.5million before he signed away British sovereignty. 
Like anything else you are likely to read in the newspaper, that is untrue. Rather it is a very loose restatement of the historical fact that former UK Prime Minister, and queer, Edward Heath was the recipient of the Charlemagne Prize, often referred to as the Treason Prize, which at the time was worth £75,000.

Thus, apart from the facts, the story is true, which is to say that Edward Heath lied the Brits into the Common Market as the EU was then known by the pretense that it was merely a trade association, not a plan for ever tighter political union under a non-democratic constitution.

Threason May has proved herself a true successor to Edward Heath, in intention, if not it effect. Her apparent failure to squelsh the Brexit Referendum result will surely rob her of any chance at the Treason, I mean Charlemagne, Prize. 

The Charlemagne Prize it is said, is intended to promote the same objectives as moitvated the leaders of Europe's short-lived Nazi empire. Thus:

Supposedly the Charlemagne Prize is connected with Charlemagne because of his empire (Reich), set up around 800 AD, which could be reckoned a a forerunner of the German-French “core of Europe”. In fact the Charlemagne Prize, first awarded on May 1st 1950, was connected most closely with the Charlemagne myth which was very popular in the German Reich from 1871, especially in the Aachen area because of his “Imperial Idea” and supposed role as “Creator of European unity”.

The Nazis legitimated their plans for a European New Order with heavily emphasised allusions to Charlemagne. ...

Are You a Mispronunciation Moron?

Over at the Unz Review, a strange concoction of anti-Semitism, Hitler apologetics, racism and IQ-ist fake science, the latest in the promotion of IQ bollocks is the claim that the way you pronounce a few dozen English words pretty well defines you intellectually.

The idea seems more bonkers than most of what Ron Unz publishes since, in Britain at least, pronunciation is chiefly a matter of social class and regional affiliation.

Thus, if you are very high class indeed, you will quite likely pronounce girl as gel.

If you're a graduate of Oxford University, you will pronounce Oxford as Awksfud, off as awf, and Magdalen College as Maudlin College (It's as though they're constantly sucking in their cheeks.).

 If you are from Glasgow, you may pronounce football, as fitbah.

If you are from the English Midlands, you will pronounce the city of Leicester, Lester, and the town of BicesterBister.

If you are from one of the more prosperous parts of London, you will pronounce Cardigan Gardens as Caduggan Gardens.

And if you are from certain parts of East London, you will pronounce Heathrow Airport as Eefro Airpor!.

And if your friend is named Mainwaring, he most likely pronounces it Mannering, whereas, if his name is Meagher he probably introduces himself as Marr. However, there can be some flexibility in the pronunciation of names. Thus, when the First World War era politician and crook, Horatio Bottomly, called upon Lord Cholmondley, the conversation with the butler who answered the door went as follows:

Bottomly: My name's Bottomly, I've come to see Lord Chol-mond-ly
Butler: Do you mean Lord Chumley
Bottomly: Yes, tell Lord Chumley it's Mr. Bumley.

But I suppose there is something to be said forUnz promoting this IQ-ist this nonsense. It helps expose the absurdity of the idea that non-entities with a bachelor's degree in Psych. are qualified to assess the intelligence of their mental superiors from Isaac Newton and J.S. Bach to Alan Turing and Richard Feynman: a claim that seems particularly absurd, as these self-proclaimed experts haven't even a decent theory of what intelligence is. All they have, beside the word pronunciation test and other wacky schemes to pigeon-hole you, are a few simple tests of reasoning, verbal, numerical, and diagrammatic, results of which naturally enough correlate moderately well with academic performance, although not quite as well, according to IQ specialist Richard Lynn, as traditional subject-based exams. And, happily for those like Winston Churchill, Prime Minister, victorious war leader, Nobel Laureate in Literature, who languished at the bottom of the class during his school days, neither IQ tests nor exams, let alone pronunciation predict future academic achievement, income, or career success to any useful degree. What such tests may show, is if you are a complete moron, which was the sole purpose of the original intelligence test, that devised by Alfred Binet.

The Plague of Democracy: The Yellow Vest Outbreak in France

Democracy is a charade imposed by the elite upon a docile people to keep them docile. It was never intended that the stinking proletariat should actually decide anything. But universal education and a rising standard of living, both prerequisites of a tech-based industrial economy, have changed all that. Thus, as we observed of Britain:

... by the end of the 20th Century, something like half of all school leavers were entering post-secondary education, mostly graduating with at least a bachelor's degree, and often a master's or doctoral degree too. This combined with the ease with which the Internet has made it possible for anyone to disseminate their political opinions widely and to challenge the political narratives of the mainstream media has resulted in the emergence of a threat of genuinely popular democracy.

For the first time, the people have opinions on, and interests in, almost every aspect of public policy and moreover they were beginning loudly to demand that their voices be heard and their interests be served.
Moreover, due to increased prosperity, the proles are well fed if not overfed and thus match the elite classes in stature, health, and appearance. They even smell no different, and indeed, hardly smell at all.

In Britain the resultant outbreak of democracy has led in recent months to the collapse of Theresa May's Prime Ministerial credibility and the fragmentation not only her government, but of the governing Tory Party. As the Daily Mail relates:

Desperate Theresa May will plead for MPs to back her Brexit Bill in a crucial speech tonight - as her hopes of success fade.

The PM will make the case for her 'bold' package in a speech in Westminster this afternoon, urging politicians to get on board with her plan.

However, MailOnline understands that chief whip Julian Smith warned the PM that she is staring down the barrel of defeat.
Meantime, across the Chanel, France's traditionally stupendously arrogant elite are faced with outrageous public contempt from the pestilential and never relenting Yellow Vests, who, it is reported:

...have already succeeded in shattering the capitalist myth of “representative democracy” in the age of neo-liberalism. Their uprising has unmasked the lies and violence of republican government, as well as the duplicity of representative institutions like political parties, bureaucratic unions and the mainstream media.
Moreover:

...the Yellow Vests represent the first time in history that a spontaneous, self-organized social movement has ever held out for half a year in spite of repression while retaining its autonomy, resisting cooptation, bureaucratization and sectarian splits. All the while, standing up to full-scale government repression and targeted propaganda, it poses a real, human alternative to the dehumanization of society under the rule of the capitalist “market.”

The Craig Murray Interview: Part II. Former UK Ambassador Seeks Destruction of British State

Former UK Ambassador, Craig Murray, believes that the British state is deeply corrupt. So corrupt, indeed, that he seeks its destruction.

By way of concrete action to achieve the destruction of the UK, Murray has, during recent years, devoted much of his time and energy to the cause of what is, nominally, Scotch Nationalism and the Scottish National Party's drive to tear Scotland from the United Kingdom.

I say what is "nominally Scotch nationalism, since both Murray and the Scottish National Party wish for an independent Scotland to remain within the European Union, where the Scotch would constitute a mere 1% of the total population (versus almost 10% of the UK population) in an increasingly tight political union of 500 million people that is fundamentally anti-nationalist.

It seems to me, furthermore, that Murray's prescription for Britain, the destruction of the state, seems rash indeed. Countries that disintegrate, whether spontaneously or through the application of pressure from without, rarely have a happy future, as the examples of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya demonstrate. True, a satisfactory recovery may be possible, as with Russia and some other post Soviet states, though not with the Ukraine, where the US-engineered destruction of the state led to dismemberment, and population collapse. Better, for the UK, surely, is reform not dismemberment, however, vast the challenge, and difficult the means.

Still, I think Craig Murray is fundamentally an honest man. He has some interesting things to say and says them well, as revealed in this conversation with former Scottish First Minister, Alex Salmond.

The OPCW, Chemical Weapons Attack at Douma, and the Skipal Poisonings

Zero Hedge, May 19, 2019: In view of the latest revelations from the leaked report, which seem to prove that at least some elements of the Douma “chemical attack” were entirely staged, we want to take look back at the chaotic events of Spring 2018.
  • What was the agenda behind the Douma false flag?
  • Why was the US response seemingly token and ineffective?
  • Why was the Secretary of State Rex Tillerson fired?
  • What agenda tied the Skripal case to the Douma attack?
The following is an extract from an article by Catte originally published April 14th last year, which takes on a greater weight in light of certain evidence – not only that the Douma attack was faked, but that the OPCW is compromised.

Trump's Tariffs: Why Such a Half-Baked Policy?

The problem with Trump is an incapacity to act to any effect. He hasn't even built the goddam wall, or stopped the flood of illegal immigrants by other means.

Now Trump is imposing tariffs on China to punish China for stealing American industrial and military secrets, which obviously, won't stop China stealing American industrial and military secrets.

Why not?

Because the US is in an informational, technological and economic war with China for global supremacy. China ain't gonna give up just because Trump bans Huiwei phone gear, or sticks a tariff on imports of Chinese-made Christmas tree lights.

The only consequence of Trump's anti-China tariffs, if they stay, is to force global corporations in search of cheap labor, to move off-shore production from China to Bangladesh, Vietnam or a dozen other places. Meantime, the Chinese will have more Christmas tree lights for their own consumption. So who cares? What difference does it make?

If Trump actually wanted to rebuild America's industrial base, he should impose a tariff wall against every one, with the exception of Canada, Mexico, and the rest of Latin America: the condition being, of course, that those countries free to export to America tariff-free enter the same tariff ring-fence as America.

That way, US labor would be competing not with billions of low wage workers, but a manageable 400 million Latin Americans. Moreover, those Latin American competitors would have an incentive to purchase high-tech gear tariff-free from the US, rather than China or elsewhere beyond the tariff ring fence. A further benefit would be to raise the prosperity of Latin America, thereby reducing the inclination of millions of Latin Americans to migrate to North America.

Two other requirements for a sound US industrial policy are:

1. Anti-monopoly legislation that creates fierce competition within the protected Western Hemisphere market;

2. Negotiation with other high wage countries, including Japan, S. Korea, Australia, and the European nations, to bring them within the tariff protected trade zone.

None of this will get done, obviously. Instead, it looks as though we may be about to see the Mother-of-all wars for global hegemony against Iran.

Yes, Tariffs Raise Domestic Prices, That's the Reason for Them

BePo, the Bezos Post, aka the Washington Post, reported on Monday that:

National Economic Council Director Lawrence Kudlow acknowledged Sunday that American consumers end up paying for the administration's tariffs on Chinese imports, contradicting President Trump's repeated inaccurate claim that the Chinese foot the bill.
Which is a truth stated with intent to deceive.

Yes, tariffs raise the price of imported goods, which is bad. But tariffs boost domestic production of import substitutes, thus raising the demand for labor, hence raising wages, thus enabling Americans to pay higher prices for locally produced goods. 

Moreover, the substitution of domestic products for many of the half-trillion-dollars-worth of goods the US currently imports from China will greatly increase domestic demand for the materials and machines necessary to expand American manufacturing. This, in turn, will stimulate investment in all kinds of R and D and in technical education. 

Who loses from tariffs?

The globalist elite, who seek relentlessly to maximize profits by manufacturing where wages are lowest and environmental and workplace health and safety regulations are weakest, while selling where prices are highest, and taking profits where taxes are lowest or non-existent. 

That's why MAGA is such an incendiary idea. Globalists don't want to make American industry great again or Americans prosperous again. They want to make Americans poor — dirt poor, like the teeming masses of Third Worlders with whom they are striving mightily to flood both the United States and Europe, thereby to drive down wages.

And that's why the globalist elite deploy leftist puppets to accuse of racism, those who oppose their own impoverishment through invasion of their homeland by people of alien race, religion and culture.
