How Western Nations Are Committing Suicide: Part 1, Britain

The Telegraph

Allison Pearson



Anyone who has ridden the rapids of misfortune will attest that loyalty is a marvellous quality in a friend but, as Mark Twain observed, “loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul”. Nor rescued a political party from extinction, we might add.

Despite yesterday’s poll, which put the Conservatives on a parlous 19 per cent and Reform on a fast-closing 15, despite a death-rattle net approval rating of minus 48 (lower than Boris Johnson or Jeremy Corbyn when they resigned), Rishi Sunak survives as Prime Minister. That is largely due to the misplaced loyalty of his colleagues, but also because, as one Tory MP said, the idea of a leadership challenge at this stage is “utterly bonkers”.

It really isn’t, you know. What is bonkers, truly, madly deeply delusional, in fact, is sticking with a course so calamitous, so certain to end in ruin, that it could spell the demise of a political party which celebrates its 190th birthday this year. I am not exaggerating. Cabinet ministers with majorities of 18,000-plus are facing their own Portillo Moment (a metaphor coined after the 1997 general election humiliation of then Cabinet star Michael Portillo.)

Autumn Annihilation? Present polling suggests the losses of the Charge of the Light Brigade – 113 killed, 134 wounded – were a mere scratch compared to what lies in wait electorally for the Conservative parliamentary party.

So, what?, I hear you cry. It’s no more than the b------s deserve. Spitting in the face of their base with 745,000 legal net migration in a single year, outbidding normal families for scarce rental properties to get thousands of asylum seekers out of hotels (and hide them away) so Rishi can claim to have kept his “promise” before the general election. And they seriously think people who voted Tory in 2019 – clue: immigration is our Number 1 concern – are going to make that mistake again?

Normally, I would agree. The sense of betrayal runs very deep, the desire to teach the Tories a lesson they won’t forget is almost overwhelming. A bunch of Lib Dem cuckoos has taken over the nest built from our votes, our efforts. How dare they, those simpering Alicias and Carolines with their “Let them buy heat pumps!” condescension and ridiculous pronouns. So, you may not like it when I say that acting quickly now to install a true Conservative as leader of the Conservatives is well worth the gamble, but please hear me out.

Do we really want 10 years of Labour supercharging Woke in our institutions, brainwashing schoolchildren to despise their country and feel guilty about its remarkable history, abolishing patriotic feeling (Bye bye Rule Britannia at the Proms, so long Union Jack!), banning parents from talking their own children out of mutilating their young bodies, giving comfort to Islamists and far Leftists who wish to destroy our way of life, repatriating Shamima Begum (Sham’s human rights being more important than ours, of course), pursuing a “safe routes”, all-barbarians-welcome immigration policy, expanding the WFH quango class and suffocating the spirit of free enterprise. Purse-lipped cultural revolutionaries making that British pastime “having a laugh” illegal (just you wait). To cap it all, legislating away free speech to the point where even discussing any of the above is a hate crime.

Make no mistake, that is the very real danger if we, as many of the right-minded among us intend to do, either vote Reform UK or refuse to vote at all. Unfairly, Reform will end up with no seats and the Tories could hold so few that it will be the work of more than one term to get back into government. The Conservative Party may deserve that decade in the wilderness, but what about Britain? I am scared, quite frankly, hugely apprehensive. Afraid that our beloved country will be irretrievably lost under a moronocracy led by clod-hopping class warriors like Angela “Tory scum” Rayner.  

A courageous new conservative Conservative leader – a Kemi, Suella, Priti, Robert – committed to leaving the European Convention on Human Rights and taking back immediate control of our borders, who is elected straight after the certain bloodbath of the 2 May local elections, could do much to mitigate that awful fate, I think.

There is a precedent. In May 2019, Theresa May’s government suffered the worst Tory local election performance in 24 years (Sunak is about to seize that grim title). The Conservatives lost over 1,300 seats. Three weeks later, Mrs May announced her resignation. Boris Johnson became party leader on 23 July. Five months later, the new prime minister won an 80-seat majority with 43.6 per cent of the popular vote.

I am not suggesting a victory of that miraculous magnitude can be pulled off now. The rot has gone too deep. Whatever your personal frustrations, Labour does not deserve the landslide it will have pocketed by the end of the year if Conservatives don’t ditch Rishi.

Study the result of every recent by-election, and you detect no great enthusiasm for Sir Drear Starmer. Quite the contrary. Wellingborough saw the Left’s total go up from 13,737 in 2019 to 13,844. A mere 107 votes. It was disillusioned Conservative voters like thee and me who handed Labour the seat on a silver salver. The Tory vote plunged from 32,277 in 2019 to 7,408. With Reform hoovering up 3,919, only 11,327 Right-wing voters bothered to go to the polling station. Where were the missing Conservatives? At home, chucking darts at the Rishi Sunak dartboard.

As long as Sunak remains, wild horses on their bended knees could not persuade those voters to give the Tories another chance. Hang on, Allison, won’t a fourth change of leader in as many years make the Conservatives a national laughing stock?

It sure will. Better to be mocked than deceased, I say. Anyway, people soon move on and I bet they will relish a feisty woman knocking seven bells out of drippy Keir.

Conservatives have a reputation for ruthlessness. I say, let’s play to our strengths! A leadership contest could be swift. No need for a national beauty parade. MPs whittle candidates down to two. Then, party members need to choose between the finalists. With online voting, the whole thing could be over in under a fortnight. By the end of May, the Conservatives will have themselves a brand new leader who is actually prepared to honour their manifesto pledges and Rishi Sunak will have brought forward his private-jet flight to California by six months.

I’ve got a question for all those Conservative MPs still insisting that the hugely unpopular PM will lead them into the general election while denigrating “rebels” who plot to oust him. What good is it being loyal to “petrified opinion”? To whom should you really owe your loyalty? To a member of the billionaire class you know full well will abandon you as soon as he has lost his party hundreds of seats or to the British people who deserve a Right-of-centre leader to stick up for them and fight the Left for the soul of our nation? 

“Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death rode the six hundred.”

The Conservative Party is not obliged to re-enact the pointless slaughter of The Charge of the Light Brigade, which appears to be the current strategy. Try another Tennyson poem, my favourite: “Some work of noble note, may yet be done”.

Pick a Conservative leader who will restore the faith of at least some Conservatives and give them something to hope for. Faced with the alternative, it’s got to be worth a try.

Trudeau's Canada Approaching Melt-Down

 National Post:

Secret RCMP report warns Canadians may revolt once they realize how broke they are


Right from the get-go, the report authors warn that whatever Canada’s current situation, it 'will probably deteriorate further in the next five years'

A secret RCMP report is warning the federal government that Canada may descend into civil unrest once citizens realize the hopelessness of their economic situation.

“The coming period of recession will … accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations,” reads the report, entitled Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada.

Article content
Article content

“For example, many Canadians under 35 are unlikely ever to be able to buy a place to live,” it adds.

The report, labelled secret, is intended as a piece of “special operational information” to be distributed only within the RCMP and among “decision-makers” in the federal government.

A heavily redacted version was made public as a result of an access to information request filed by Matt Malone, an assistant professor of law at British Columbia’s Thompson Rivers University, and an expert in government secrecy.

Describing itself in an introduction as a “scanning exercise,” the report is intended to highlight trends in both Canada and abroad “that could have a significant effect on the Canadian government and the RCMP.”

Right from the get-go, the report authors warn that whatever Canada’s current situation, it “will probably deteriorate further in the next five years.”

In addition to worsening living standards, the RCMP also warns of a future increasingly defined by unpredictable weather and seasonal catastrophes, such as wildfires and flooding. Most notably, report authors warn of Canada facing “increasing pressure to cede Arctic territory.”

Article content
Article content

Another major theme of the report is that Canadians are set to become increasingly disillusioned with their government, which authors mostly chalk up to “misinformation,” “conspiracy theories” and “paranoia.”

“Law enforcement should expect continuing social and political polarization fueled by misinformation campaigns and an increasing mistrust for all democratic institutions,” reads one of the report’s “overarching considerations.”

Emotion Crime

To judge by the actions of the government he leads, Justin Trudeau is now entering the Kim Jong Un phase of megalomania, such that it will surely soon be illegal in Canada to speak of our Supreme Leader except in terms of the highest flattery acknowledging his divinity. In the meantime, driven apparently by a sense of unlimited power and authority, his government is now intent on the criminalization of emotion: specirfically, the emotion of hate. 

As for penalties, we're not talking a slap on the wrist. If this, let us not call it hateful legislation, so, um, insane legislation, the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63, is enacted, the penalties for the willul promotion of hate will be two to five years imprisonment

So yes, under this legislation Canadians will live in fear. Think carefully before calling for "Death to Hamas," be aware that saying "fuck off" may be an imprisonable offense, and be sure that saying "Fuck Trudeau" surely is an imprisonable offense. And will it be illegal to speak hatefully of rats, rapists, warmongers or thieves? Will it be considered criminally hateful to say that Justin Trudeau is an insane dictator wannabee? A megalomaniac? An idiot?

When Self-Defense Is Racist Hate Speech

A right-wing British activist (citizen) has just been handed a two-year prison sentence for “intending to stir up racial hatred.”  Source

His offense? Sharing stickers with anti-immigration mottos such as:

 “We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066,” 

Which is probably true if by "we" he means white British people.

“Mass immigration is white genocide. 

Which may be true, depending on the color and quantity of the immigrants.

“Intolerance is a virtue” 

Which depends on what it is of which one is intolerant. But tolerance of those who would destroy one's own nation looks like aiding an abetting in self-genocide. 

and

“White Lives Matter.”

Which, though subjective, likely seems a legitimate claim to most white people. 

Poor Princess Kate

So Princess Kate was found to have touched up a photo of herself taken after recent surgery. As a result, she felt obliged to make a public apology. But why the fuss? So what if she touched-up the photo?
 
Pretty certainly, when photographed, she was wearing mascara, and definitely eye shadow, and most likely a lttile blush, and maybe some powder and a touch of lipstick. Nobody complains about that, so why the fuss if she improved the skin tone in a photograph?

Because we want to know how sick she is? Or is it because we actually want to see her looking sick? In that case, she should have made-up appropriately. Some jaundice tones to the cheeks, blue lipstick, plus maybe, a couple of blackened teeth.

Or better still, lets just recognize the Daily Mail for the rubbish it is and not worry about such nonsense.

Lying Chatbots: AI Outdoes Humans at BS

Your Destination Now, March 10, 2024: Google’s Gemini AI continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons, with an author revealing that the tool created fake book reviews in order to defend the search giant.

When author Peter Hasson asked the AI program questions about a book he wrote in 2020, The Manipulators: Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Big Tech’s War on Conservatives, he found that the chatbot actually concocted a series of fake reviews attributed to real people in an effort to discredit it.

The book, which was about the political biases of Google and other tech firms, was thoroughly researched, and Hasson drew from leaked documents and inside sources to inform his writing. It apparently struck a nerve with Google as its AI program told lie after lie in an attempt to smear it.

As part of Google’s description of the book, the chatbot wrote that it has been “criticized for lacking concrete evidence and relying on anecdotal information.”

As someone who has followed the reception of his own book very closely, Hasson could not recall such a criticism, so he asked the AI who made those comments.

It then supplied him with summaries of four negative reviews that were allegedly from the New York Times, Wired, Washington Free Beacon and the New York Times Book Review.

The blurbs were very convincing. For example, the AI wrote: "Book review by Matthew Continetti in The Washington Free Beacon: This review criticizes the book for relying on ‘anecdotal evidence’ and ‘cherry-picking examples’ to support its claims."

While the Washington Free Beacon did indeed review the book, the reviewer was actually Charles Lehman, and his assessment was incredibly positive.

Germany's Very Stupid Generals: Or Were They Trying to Head Off WW3?

Russia learned of a German proposal to use long-range Taurus missiles to destroy the Kerch Bridge (linking the Russian mainland with the Crimean peninsula) by bugging a conference phone call among German generals. The Germans, Zero Hedge reports, were using "off-the-shelf and apparently non-secure video phone technology" to discuss highly sensitive matters of national security. One general on the line reportedly "dialed in from his hotel room."

The Kerch Bridge

The implication is either that Germany's generals are very stupid people, or that they deliberately used a highly insecure method of communication for the purpose of informing Russian intelligence of what they considered an insane plan that could result in all out war. In the latter case, their hope, presumably, being that a Russian warning of retaliation, a promise for example to take out, say, London Bridge (upon which billions in tourism revenue depends) or Germany's Hohenzollern Bridge (upon which billions in industrial production depends) would stop the madness. 

Anyhow, even if you can strike it, how do you destroy something that's 20 kilometers wide.

Tucker Carlson Erasing Ukrainian Nazis Out of Existence

 Hey Tucker, you think Putin's "dumb" to worry about these folks?:
These are the guys Zelenski sent to Eastern Ukraine to take control of the autonomous Donbas republics. Remember them? Donetsk and Luhansk, the Donbas republics granted autonomy within the Ukrainian state under the terms of the Minsk agreements.

But the Minsk agreements, former German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, recently stated, were merely a ploy to allow time to arm Ukraine for war with Russia.

Nazism is a racist form of nationalism and there have been Ukrainians Nazis for a long time. Since the 19th Century,at least. That was when Otto Von Bismarck, Chancellor of Germany promoted Ukrainian nationalism to undermine the Russian Empire. How well that worked is evident from the enthusiasm with which, during WW2, the UkroNationlists, under the leadership of Stepan Bandera, collaborated with German occupying forces in murdering hundreds of thousands of Jews and Poles across the nation.

So now we know it. Carlson is just another mouthpiece for the US Empire. Like his Dad, Dick Carlson, one-time Director of the Voice of America.

Prime Minister True Dope


How Canada Could Avoid Trudeau's Ongoing Program of National Suicide

Canada has a below replacement and fast decling fertility rate of 1.1 children for each woman (The replacement rate is 2.1). 

The policy of the Canadian Government under Justin Trudeau is to replace Canada's declining population by importing people from elsewhere. 

Those people from elsewhere are for the most part, no doubt, good people. But are Canadians really happy to know that they will largely be replaced in succeeding generations not by their own posterity but by the children of the half million or so immigrants now entering the country each year. That's an immigration rate that exceeds the number of Canadian live births. 

To be explicit, Canada under Trudeau's Liberal Government has a policy of slow motion national self-genocide. To reverse this policy requires a change in incentives and opportunities relating to family formation. In particular, motherhood needs to be better rewarded. 

Hungary's tax incentive (see below) is one way to go. But there are many other things that could be done. For example, women could, and in my view definitely should, be entitled to a life-long share of the income of the father of their child. 


Viktor Orban of Hungary just announced that every woman who has 4 kids will have no income tax for life. More new benefits as well. Hungary is incentivizing their own citizens to grow their population. We’re incentivizing millions of illegal migrants to come from other nations.
