It's OK, I won't say I told you so - part IV: The foothills of oblivion

The Blue Socialist and Brexit pundits, wriggling and spinning to try and deflect the blame for their mess, turn to blaming each other ...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09/29/brexit-hating-global-elite-watching-britains-chaos-glee/

The resounding criticism of their own Blue Socialism ...

What’s wrong with this Government? Why is it so passive, veering from crisis to crisis without a strategy, devoid of any meaningful plan? Speak to the Prime Minister’s core supporters, and you soon detect that an earlier sense of disappointment is mutating into a slow, mounting fury at the chaos and incompetence that this Government increasingly exudes.

Such people voted Brexit in 2016 and Tory in 2019 because they thought the country was on the wrong track and that it was time for a radical shake-up. They are starting to fear that they wasted their time, that this Government will let them down just as badly as previous ones did, on crime, on the economy and on cultural issues.

"Take back control" is being seen for what it really means: total loss of control!  Like a geriatric patient having just been cleaned up by the EU carers for thirty years proudly returning to his bed - only to immediately shit his pants again!  Not even able to control its own bowels and borders, the very declaration it so clearly expounded would be possible, now covered in poo ...

Why is it taking so long to send the Army in? Why can’t the DVLA be fixed? And what about the UK’s inability to control its own borders, as demonstrated by the fact that 17,085 people have arrived from the Channel on small boats so far this year – double 2020’s total already? Or to defend Jersey, which fears the French might cut off electricity supplies if Britain doesn’t surrender on fishing rights?

And the downward spiral of more and more statism and authoritarianism:  "Send in the army", "Fix the DVLA".  Do they know the state never fixed British Leyland, British Coal, British Rail, British Steel, gas, electricity, water and telecoms when under its control?  Those industries got fixed by ceasing to be controlled by the state, not by more state!

And the pathetic, pitiful exhortation to send in an army that hasn't won a war since 1982.

All this, dear friends, is just the beginning.  It is but nothing compared to what is going to happen.

This is what the foothills of oblivion look like ...

Be afraid.  Be very afraid.

Do only white men know slavery this well?

Bob, Blade runner is a film about white man's culture.

Have you ever wondered why a replicant would be called "Roy Batty?". I mean, it's not exactly the sort of exotic name sci-fi would normally associate with an advanced synthetic human, is it?  Maybe Zed Zillon, C3PO, but "Roy Batty"? Roy Batty is a working class empire soldier. He has the kind of name you see on headstones in Flanders and the Punjab.

A workmate of mine from times past is one. I spent an interesting evening in a gloomy pub in North Wales while the rain lashed down like a cat o' nine tails outside, as he told me how he'd crawled through a minefield in the dark with a torch and an acetylene bottle on his back to fix and retrieve a damaged four tonner, with Iraqi snipers and machine gunners taking pot shots at him.  And how he'd watched the MLRS send rockets like meteors through the cool Arabian night's stars, barging past the shoulder of Orion and lifting the Tannenhauer Gate off its fucking hinges.

He and our ilk have been both slave and slaver, and there's no race on earth gets it like us. Take a look at the stats if you don't believe me ...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_21st_century

As of 2018, the countries with the most slaves were: India (18.4 million), China (3.86 million), Pakistan (3.19 million), North Korea (2.64 million), Nigeria (1.39 million), Indonesia (1.22 million), Democratic Republic of the Congo (1 million), Russia (794,000) and the Philippines (784,000).

The peeps still doing slavery are all black, brown and yellow! With one exception, the last unreconstructed "Roy Batty", who else but Vlad. The proverbial in the white woodpile (Oh God, time to die ... Ed).

White culture - Vlad aside - is post-slave and post-slaver. We have had our moment of grasping the victim by the wrist and pulling him up to the ledge to join us.

Our time as slave and slaver has run its course, like a replicant. We have passed our "time to die". The rest of the world is playing catch-up.

And imagine, that was the thickest race on earth. The one that underperforms Asian and Chinese people in exam results in the classroom and in earnings in the workplace. And now that blacks have found their feet, most of Roy Batty's communities are outperformed by blacks in the classroom and the workplace, putting whites bottom of the pile.

So just imagine when the racial Albert Einsteins of the top three get a grip of it.  (Starter for one: South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, anyone?).  We'll have Funded Libertarianism on steroids to the horizons.  If you want a vision of the future, imagine a feather caressing a human face - forever.

And all those Batty moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Yes Ed.  Time to die.

It's OK, I won't say I told you so - part III: The desolation of Brexit

Bloody plagiarism by the Independent!  Predicting post-Brexit Blighty to being like the 1970's cataclysm was all written 5 years ago by me here on D&N.  These hindsight jockeys really don't cut the mustard ...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/european-newspapers-uk-fuel-crisis-b1926226.html

The kingdom of empty shelves

Our legal reps, Messrs Sue, Grabbit & Runne, are on the case.

Brexit is the cause of fuel and food shortages because Blighty is unable to tap the EU single market for lorry drivers.  Period.

Who TF is Grant Shapps trying to kid when he tries to say otherwise? ...

https://inews.co.uk/news/hgv-driver-shortage-haulage-chief-grant-shapps-brexit-blame-lorry-crisis-1216190

There are no fuel shortages due to scarce lorry drivers in the EU.  There are no empty super-market shelves due to scarce lorry drivers in the EU.  The only place that cannot buy its way into more lorry drivers is the place that has withdrawn from the vast EU single market for those lorry drivers - the foetus-brained turnip called Blighty!

And after denying that Brexit is the cause of excessive scarcity of lorry drivers in the UK by throttling off the supply of them from the EU single market, Shapps does the very thing that proves he's wrong: he throws a squillion visas at EU single market lorry drivers to bid them back in! ...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58694004

Can you believe this double-think?  Utterly illogical contradiction, spouted in plain view.  It's completely surreal.

Politicians, the most useless individuals who never worked in the market in their lives, let alone rose to the top like a Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Alan Sugar, or Richard Branson, set themselves up in place of the market and fail catastrophically!  And then they try to emulate the very system they berated - and fail again because they're no good at it - which is why they never became super-CEO's in the first place!

Politicians have "taken back control" from the successful market of half a billion people, and failure ensues as it always does.  Period.

Get over it and get over yourselves, you foetus-brained turnips.

The chill winds that signal a second Winter of Discontent is coming

Life about to get ugly as Britain faces perfect storm of rising fuel bills, food shortages and tax increases

Ministers fear a second Winter of Discontent – and with good reason.

A chill wind beckons, with fuel shortages and runaway inflation added to a list of woes that already included empty supermarket shelves, spiralling energy bills, a tax rise in the spring and an extraordinarily badly timed cut to Universal Credit for the poorest families. 

Economists predicted a hike in interest rates, and with it the prospect of higher mortgage repayments.

On Thursday, senior ministers, speaking on condition of anonymity, warned of the "collision of a Winter of Discontent'".

You voted for this.  You Muppets!  Not once, not twice, not three times, but four times!  Here's the list of the four riders of the apocalypse, and all four of them were your choice ...

Blue Socialism, Brexit, Climate Alarmism, Covid Tyranny

The power grab that happens next when Blighty's ludicrous half-baked democracy justifies "emergency measures" across the board off the back of the Covid Tyranny will cement her status as the "Venezuela of Europe".

There's quite literally no-one in power left alive with any knowledge of, or willingness to do, what is necessary to prevent the decline and fall.  Every pol in Blighty to the horizon is tarnished by at least one, and mostly all four, of those riders of the apocalypse.

Democracy has become worthless.  Indistinguishable from tyranny.  Re-elected tyranny.

They - you - have won.

Climate alarmism causing the UK and EU energy crisis

You can take your pick from any of climate alarmism's propaganda organs currently trying to spin their way out of the catastrophe they have brought to the energy industries of the UK and EU, and knock their blame passing attempts down one by one.  Here's one for example ...

https://www.qz.com/2059429/why-are-electricity-bills-so-high-in-the-uk-and-europe/amp/

The spike was caused by a combination of rising carbon credit prices, low output from wind farms, transmission infrastructure outages, and skyrocketing prices for natural gas.

So one by one then ...

(1) "Rising carbon credit prices".  Well that's directly attributable to climate alarmism, it's their system FFS.

(2) "Low output from wind farms".  Also directly attributable to climate alarmism, it's their system FFS.

(3) "Transmission infrastructure outages".  Follow the link from the QZ article ...

https://mobile.twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/1438054066739941376

French power, largely nuclear, provides more than all our windmills put together.  Why don't we have nuclear power to match and compete with the extra we buy from France and stand up our energy supply when the French go down?  Anti-nuclear green alarmism, sister of, and joined at the hip to, climate alarmism.

(4) "Skyrocketing prices for natural gas".  The blundering QZ article fumbles its own spin and answers that one for us ...

And surging competition for liquified natural gas (LNG) shipments with China and other Asian countries, where it is increasingly used to replace coal.

Why is LNG used to replace coal?  Climate alarmism again, LNG being perceived as cleaner than coal sees climate alarmism strong arming China and Asia into LNG, thereby forcing up the price.

And yet the QZ article spins the truth into a tub-thump for more windmills.

A global delusion being propagandised into the minds of humanity in plain view.

These people are sick.

Cheese, kiwis and carbon off the menu, and the dragon in the room

The new "AUKUS" defence pact between Blighty, Uncle Sam and Oz has ruffled some feathers ...

One up: France with their loss of a multi-billion diesel subs deal.  You know it's bad when the Froggies refuse to go to a freebie cheese and wine party! ...

France's Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called the announcement a "stab in the back".

He called it a "brutal, unilateral and unpredictable decision" that reminded him of former president Donald Trump.

French diplomats in Washington cancelled a gala to celebrate ties between the US and France in retaliation.

Ooh-la-la!

China has condemned the agreement as "extremely irresponsible".

Foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said it "seriously undermines regional peace and stability and intensifies the arms race".

China's embassy in Washington accused the countries of a "Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice".

Would it were so Xi me old mate, would it were so!  Keep talking it up into the bargain and let's get "Cold War mentality" circulating globally again - double quick time!

Three up: AUKUS just pissed all over COP26's fireworks because Ping-a-Ling's "Me no-likey" hissy-fit might mean he pulls the plug on toeing the zero carbon line ...

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/16/aukus-pact-dash-hopes-china-emissions-deal-cop26-climate

The timing of the new defence deal between the US, UK and Australia has dismayed climate experts, who fear it could have a negative effect on hopes of a deal with China on greenhouse gas emissions ahead of vital UN climate talks.

The Anglo-sphere cooking on gas!  I say, well done Carruthers!

But there has to be one Judas doesn't there?  One for whom the filthy lucre proves just too irresistible?

Are the Kiwis going to play the Belgium part in this coming war?  Try to be neutral and reap the benefits of both teams - and thereby make itself a latter-day Flanders football to be kicked around by the two sides' players when it really kicks off? ...

https://theconversation.com/amp/anzus-without-nz-why-the-new-security-pact-between-australia-the-uk-and-us-might-not-be-all-it-seems-168071

At which point New Zealand could have expected a drum roll, too, having only just marked the 70th anniversary of the ANZUS agreement. That didn’t happen, and New Zealand was conspicuously absent from the choreographed announcement hosted by the White House.

Having remained committed to the Five Eyes security agreement and having put boots on the ground in Afghanistan for the duration, “NZ” appears to have been taken out of ANZUS and replaced with “UK”.

That is perhaps surprising. Despite problematic comments by New Zealand’s trade minister about Australia’s dealings with China, and the foreign minister’s statement that she “felt uncomfortable” with the expanding remit of the Five Eyes, reassurances by Ardern about New Zealand’s commitment should have calmed concerns.

One has to assume, therefore, that even if New Zealand had been asked to join, it might have chosen to opt out anyway.

Nonetheless, the fact that New Zealand’s supposedly extra-special relationship with Britain, Australia and America hasn’t made it part of the in-crowd will raise eyebrows. Especially while no one likes to mention the elephant – or should that be dragon? – in the room: New Zealand’s relationship with China.

Or perhaps "Plucky little New Zealand" will try to dismount the dragon? ...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/25/a-matter-of-time-new-zealands-foreign-minister-warns-china-storm-could-be-coming

It was one of the minister’s more frank discussions of the vulnerability of New Zealand’s trade dependency on China – and a clear directive to local exporters that they should be seeking to redistribute some of those eggs to baskets elsewhere.

But as the old Chinese adage goes, "Ch'i 'hu nan hsia pei".

It's OK, I won't say I told you so

Blighty's inexorable decline and fall lumbers grindingly on under the Blue Socialist autocracy ...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/09/04/tories-war-idiotic-national-insurance-tax-increase/

IDS's comment sums it all up ...

Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory leader, said: “If we start raising substantial sums of money without a proper solution we end up, if we’re not careful, as a high-tax, high-spend party and the problem not solved.”

BoJo intends to dump oodles of extra tax cash into the top of the power pyramid of the failed NHS system using the failed National Insurance system.  Pure Blue Socialism with a track record of degradation since 1948.

But IDS's comment hints at a realisation of the problem in the minds of the diminished and usurped Libertarian faction of the Tory party ... "without a proper solution ... the problem not solved".

A high-tax high-spend Tory party "without a proper solution ... the problem not solved" matches Liberal and Labour party stances on the matter, thereby demonstrating the triple-lock failure of Blighty's democracy - quite literally a hard-baked zero solution ballot paper with a fake choice - and guarantees another 1970's style bankruptcy and failed state long term outcome.

The NHS has 1.4 million people working for it.  It is the 5th largest employer in the world; only McDonald's, Walmart, the US DOD, and the Chinese Army have more staff working for them than the NHS.  And yet the NHS doesn't have enough doctors and nurses.  It makes the Brits wait weeks to see a GP, months to see a consultant, and years to have an operation, and that was even before the Covid plague arrived.

Brexit was the prime mover in this triple-lock socialism that has broken Blighty's democracy.  Brexit is the statist, collectivist, socialist dream come true, left, right and centre.  It emboldens the executive's control of the means of the production in all parties because "Take back control" didn't mean take back control for you and me, it meant take back control for the political class in Westminster.

Specifically, it meant the external governance of Blighty that prevented such triple-lock socialism and fake democracy from happening, namely:  Margaret Thatcher's single market, four freedoms, and state aid rules, was removed like a straitjacket from the lunatic - the proven lunatic from the "hero of WWII to zero of bankruptcy" 1945-1975 period.

And so there's no surprise that Blue Socialists of the right, like BoJo and Cummings with their "backing winners", "f*ck business", and "Brexity Hezza" mentality, are now hand-in-hand with the original red socialists, in fact, out-doing them.

There's another hint at the truth of what is needed in Steve Baker's comment ...

Steve Baker, the former Brexit minister, said: “Of all the ways to break manifesto tax pledges to fund the NHS and social care, raising NIC must be the worst. In this time of crisis, we need a zero-based review of what the state does and how it is funded.”

But IDS and Baker are fools if they think that a low-state, no-state healthcare system to replace the failed NHS will ever happen until Blighty is bankrupt and a failed state yet again.

Now the lunatic is unfettered and running the asylum, we just have to wait for economic, social, and political oblivion before we get any "proper solution" and "problem solved".

Good call 23rd June 2016.

When the DT conflates booing of BLM with monkey chants, you know we're in trouble

If you boo BLM you are now deemed to be a racist - and that's the Daily Telegraph talking ...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/09/02/monkey-chants/

Gareth Southgate said the onus is now entirely with Fifa and Uefa to tackle racism as there is "no more" his players can do on the issue after yet more abuse in Hungary.

On a night in which Raheem Sterling and Jude Bellingham faced monkey chants in Budapest, the England manager added that fans still booing players for taking the knee were "dinosaurs".

Southgate admitted there might also be a lesson during the "completely unacceptable" scenes last night for English fans who have continued to boo players for taking the knee as "the world is changing".

"Although some people are stuck in their ways of thinking and in their prejudices, they're going to be the dinosaurs in the end because the world is modernising," he added.

Gareth Southgate's players also faced loud boos resounding around the Puskas Arena before kick-off as they took the knee. With Fifa now under mounting pressure to launch tougher sanctions than a previous ban by Uefa, here Telegraph Sport explores how Hungary supporters defied warnings and recent sanctions as this opening World Cup qualifier turned sour

There were also further demonstrations by far right groups outside the stadium ahead of France players taking a knee before kick-off during the second fixture. A number of French media reports alleged monkey chants were later directed at Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kante and Kylian Mbappe. Fans had also loudly jeered Republic of Ireland players for taking the knee at a Euro 2020 warm-up game.

After racist abuse on the terraces in Montenegro and Bulgaria in 2019 and then booing over taking the knee from their own supporters at Euro 2020, the current England generation were well-prepared for hostilities they faced at the Puskas Arena.

BLM is a political movement and its supporters who "take the knee" are political activists.  Booing them is exercising the right to freedom of expression.  End of.

But in addition, BLM itself is a political movement for anti-white discrimination and pro-black privilege.  This is both anti-equality and anti-equity.  Anti-equality because privilege is the antithesis of rights which are there for all equally.  And anti-equity because equity is about redistribution to those in need irrespective of any other categorisation of human being, like race, creed, gender, or identity, other than need.  Put simply, BLM is racist.

Criticizing, including booing, is the right of freedom of expression and should be available to all people including the far right, and targetable at all people including the far left.

In those paragraphs above you see how the Daily Telegraph is now complicit in the conflation of criticism of BLM with racist monkey chants, joining ranks with the BBC, CNN and the nexus of the Left Axis.

Another step in the direction of the New Dark Age, and a sad day for those who Love Enlightenment and Liberty.

The hidden victory in Afghanistan

Glezza was worried in the comments about it being difficult to bomb Islamists at home.  Well, that may be true, but it's also just become a lot easier to bomb the Islamists abroad, because now we're working with them abroad ...

US Army General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said it was “possible” the United States will seek to coordinate with the Taliban on counterterrorism strikes in Afghanistan against Islamic State militants or others.

Marine General Frank McKenzie, head of US Central Command, has described the U.S. relationship with the Taliban during the evacuation as “very pragmatic and very businesslike”, saying they helped secure the airport.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/02/its-possible-us-military-chief-could-work-with-taliban-on-is-counter-terror-strikes 

Service folks should not think their efforts have been in vain in Afghanistan.  Far from it, neither of the two paragraphs quoted above would have been possible to say 20 years ago.  In fact, the turning point against terrorist Islamism has been made in those 20 years by the skill, courage and resilience of those who served in Afghanistan.

We now have the Hairies willing to fight and kill each other, and, with the faction we're backing willing to down tools against us.  This is the mirror of the success in Syria and the wider ME, where we got Shia and Sunni terrorists to fight each other.

"Bait and bleed", the Judean People's Front vs the People's Front of Judea, hold their coats while they kick the proverbial out of each other, all of these are with us now on all foreign fronts against the enemy.

So Glezza, back to Winnie's old adage that seems to be worrying you "When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you"?  And we have the enemy within, therefore a problem, right?

Well the homeboys are puppet-mastered by their hard-nut masters abroad.  And correct me if I'm wrong, but the hard-nut foreign puppet-masters are mighty busy in their Sunni-on-Shia and soon to be Taliban-on-ISIS wars all across the ME and Asia.  So the command strings have been somewhat severed.

And, if any Brit Conservative Muslim Dad's and Grandad's fancy sending their nutter youth to those foreign wars to fight the new priority enemies over there, we should buy them their EasyJet or RyanAir tickets and wave them a fond farewell!  The problem of bombing our homeboy terrorists just got solved by getting them to travel abroad and bomb themselves there!

If the West's foreign policy and military picks up the massive opportunity granted us by the blood, toil, tears and sweat of our armed forces, in the end it will be easy being a Roman again ...

For

WWII: Germany, Italy, Japan. Cold War: Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Rumania, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, South Korea. Others: Israel, Ukraine (minus Crimea), Rojava.

Agin

Vietnam, North Korea, Iraq, Syria (minus Rojava), Cuba (just missed a sitter there), Afghanistan.

You're winning, Uncle Sam!

Stiff upper lip old boy, and remember: 14 years after that helicopter flew off the roof of the Hotel Saigon the wall came down and Communism / Socialism collapsed, freeing billions of people totally or partially from the most murderous ideology and regimes in the history of mankind!

That was the greatest victory in the history of warfare.

So broad sweeping generalisation statements like "we're not remaking other countries anymore" are wrong-headed.

Pick and choose, "Watch and shoot" as my old section corporal used to say, and "It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it, and that's what gets results" as Bananarama and Fun Boy Three used to sing.
