There is something strange that happened after the Iron Curtain fell, and the Berlin Wall crumbled. The so-called Soviet Russia had collapsed under its own ineptitude and bureaucracy, stale with its dastardly record of genocide, imprisonment and annihilation of millions of people throughout its sordid history, yet, it seems the ideology simply transferred itself silently undercover further West.
Vladimir Bukovsky lived through the brutal totalitarian Soviet regime, and his book “Judgment in Moscow” addresses many of the wrongs committed under a regime of complete secrecy. Bukovsky, born in 1942 opposed the system from an early age, he was uncermoniously kicked out of Moscow State University at the tender age of 19 after criticizing the Young Communist League, the Komsomol.
Bukovsky posits the question about the West’s complicity in letting the Soviet communist hierarchy off for their crimes against humanity, yet they had punished the Nazis after World War II? One could say that the reason the communist perpetrators of many crimes against humanity went unpunished was because the West ultimately agreed with much of the ideology of the Soviet Union. How do we explain the creation of a United Soviet Union in Western Europe after the Berlin Wall fell? It is true to say, most of the Eastern German Stasi officials were absorbed into the EU hierarchy and Commission after the Berlin Wall’s legacy was dissolved. Furthermore, without Stalin u-turning on Hitler and allying with Churchill and the USA in WW2, circumstances could have been very different regarding the result of the war.
Much like Soviet Russia, the European Union is now seeking ever closer union, and is pushing for a united Bolshevik army, not only on earth but in space.
The Fascists of World War II were too overt in their methods, they were too obvious, and this was their ultimate downfall. They were overtly race centric, whereas the Soviets were not obvious about these things and preached Marxist equality. Any crimes committed by the Soviets were heavily controlled operations conducted under heavy secrecy from the West, therefore, the Soviets did not receive much of the condemnation the Nazis received. It would be safe to say, the Soviets learned how to be brutal to their dissidents and party enemies of the state by doing the exact opposite of the Nazis, and to this end, they succeeded in their various purges. Bukovsky himself spent twelve years in the Gulag prison and labour camps, as well as the thought control psychiatric hospitals.
Communism throughout history has been responsible for more deaths than Nazism, yet communism is celebrated by many in the West. You only have to look at the EU, Britain’s Labour party and the Democrat extremities like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Bernie Sanders in the USA. In America, Communism is now a viable alternative chosen by many young people who have been indoctrinated by Marxist lecturers and professors in university, these are the ANTIFA soldiers and the Black Lives Matter troops who are the Sandinistas of North America.
In the UK, we have the resistance to Brexit as another clear sign that communism and Marxist ideological persuasions are truly alive even today in the 21st century. These people are staunch followers of an EU regime that has imprisoned them, taken away their sovereignty, their democracy and dictates laws to them every day which they obey without question. It is not only the indoctrinated people in the UK who are now followers of the EU Soviet state, but the departments, the news media operations, and the parliamentarians. The institutions have all received vast funding from the EU, as have many parliamentarians and unelected Lords. Naturally, they do not want to lose their gravy train, delivered in brown envelopes every month through the back door.
Reading through Vladimir Bukovsky’s book, “Judgement in Moscow” one can only think it is timeless in its reportage of Soviet crimes, because these crimes seem to be occurring in the West today. The book has long languished in the peripheries as it was not translated into English for twenty years.
If you want to truly know what happened during the Soviet Union’s years of brutality, secrecy and corruption, then read this book, for it will engage you from the beginning taking you on a journey through a communist nightmare of gargantuan proportions.
Vladimir Bukovsky’s book, “Judgment in Moscow” can be purchased here and published by Ninth of November Press.
While Western nations sleep, and prepare for the summer holidays for their pampered leaders, Iran is hard at work.
The centrifuges work day and night enriching uranium to 90% weapons grade in multiple known refineries, and other secret locations not known to inspectors.
The European Union, is still keen to preserve the 2015 deal brokered by former American president Barack Obama, despite it giving Iran carte blanche to carry on with its weapons program under the noses of Western inspectors, as well as paying off the Iranians with a tidy lump sum.
What is going to happen now?
The good news is nothing will happen for a while, however out of the blue, there will come a time when something will happen.
The Tel Aviv skyline will light up, a flash that will sear the retinas of anyone who looks at it. This will be the first attack and it will come from nowhere. Naturally, the Israeli warning system would have been tracking the missile from its source, but the powers that be may allow the attack to be absorbed. This absorption would lead to the loss of many lives, but be seen by the whole world, and would thus justify the return volley destroying much of Iran. The alternative scenario could include a ‘dirty bomb’ planted by an Iranian proxy. If this is the case, then the blame could easily be deflected by the Iranian regime, seeing as Israel has so many enemies.
The obvious drawback of such action is the plume of radioactive material spread across much of the Middle East and surrounding areas.
The Iranians would have succeeded on an attack on Israel, however they will not succeed in obliterating the whole country as they have promised so many times.
Words of hate
Mohammad Khatami, the former president of Iran: “If we abide by real legal laws, we should mobilize the whole Islamic world for a sharp confrontation with the Zionist regime … if we abide by the Koran, all of us should mobilize to kill.” (2000)
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: “It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region.” (2001)
Hassan Nasrallah, a leader of Hezbollah: “If they [Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.” (2002)
Nasrallah: “Israel is our enemy. This is an aggressive, illegal, and illegitimate entity, which has no future in our land. Its destiny is manifested in our motto: ‘Death to Israel.’” (2005)
Yahya Rahim Safavi, the former commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps: “With God’s help the time has come for the Zionist regime’s death sentence.” (2008)
Mohammad Hassan Rahimian, Khamenei’s representative to the Moustazafan Foundation: “We have manufactured missiles that allow us, when necessary to replace [sic] Israel in its entirety with a big holocaust.” (2010)
Mohammad Reza Naqdi, the commander of the Basij paramilitary force: “We recommend them [the Zionists] to pack their furniture and return to their countries. And if they insist on staying, they should know that a time while arrive when they will not even have time to pack their suitcases.” (2011)
Khamenei: “The Zionist regime is a cancerous tumor and it will be removed.” (2012)
Ahmad Alamolhoda, a member of the Assembly of Experts: “The destruction of Israel is the idea of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and is one of the pillars of the Iranian Islamic regime. We cannot claim that we have no intention of going to war with Israel.” (2013)
Nasrallah: “The elimination of Israel is not only a Palestinian interest. It is the interest of the entire Muslim world and the entire Arab world.” (2013)
Hojateleslam Alireza Panahian, the advisor to Office of the Supreme Leader in Universities: “The day will come when the Islamic people in the region will destroy Israel and save the world from this Zionist base.” (2013)
Hojatoleslam Ali Shirazi, Khamenei’s representative in the Revolutionary Guard: “The Zionist regime will soon be destroyed, and this generation will be witness to its destruction.” (2013)
Khamenei: “This barbaric, wolflike & infanticidal regime of Israel which spares no crime has no cure but to be annihilated.” (2014)
Hossein Salami, the deputy head of the Revolutionary Guard: “We will chase you [Israelis] house to house and will take revenge for every drop of blood of our martyrs in Palestine, and this is the beginning point of Islamic nations awakening for your defeat.” (2014)
Salami: “Today we are aware of how the Zionist regime is slowly being erased from the world, and indeed, soon, there will be no such thing as the Zionist regime on Planet Earth.” (2014)
Hossein Sheikholeslam, the secretary-general of the Committee for Support for the Palestinian Intifada: “The issue of Israel’s destruction is important, no matter the method. We will obviously implement the strategy of the Imam Khomeini and the Leader [Khamenei] on the issue of destroying the Zionists. The region will not be quiet so long as Israel exists in it …” (2014)
Time is running out, and soon it will be too late to do anything about the nuclear threat. The Iranians are ready to act at the nearest opportunity, as the West continues to ignore the imminent threat.
The latest protest against capitalism by disenchanted socialist American kids leaves a rather bad taste in the mouth.
“We go into a supermarket, which is the symbol of capitalism and its wrongs, and spit or snot on a food product, then put it back on the shelf. This is our protest against a system that is not collectivist and does not spread the wealth, you know like places like Venezuela or Cuba,” Alexander Ocasio Cartagena, 19, from Wilmingdale, Florida told CNN.
This act of youthful defiance has been celebrated and encouraged in democratic circles, and universities across America. In one video, a gay transgender man spits semen into a bottle of mouthwash before putting it back on the shelf.
Anti-Capitalist-Consumer Protest
“These kids have no hope, they have nothing so the way they show their displeasure is to spit in a yogurt pot then put it back on the shelf for some poor bastard to get Hepatitis from. Your child could get an infectious disease from these socialist warriors, but I don’t care about that. This is why y’all have to vote for me in 2020, because I will give everyone free healthcare, free food, free university tuition, free housing and free holidays, plus open all borders without checks,” Bernie Sanders, democrat candidate said today in a rally.
Ah, the subtle art of diplomacy, a finely tuned art form learned over many years of study.
Our man in Washington, Sir Kim Darroch, who is an exemplary example of diplomatic excellence will outline in his new book the key points in diplomacy that should be adhered to in the world of statecraft, political relations and within business.
“If the president is a cantankerous, incompetent malevolent wanker who thinks too highly of himself, there are ways of getting around this in a diplomatic fashion.
“Certainly, telegraphing one’s opinion for the whole world to see, is not one of them, but there’s only so much diplomacy can do. Fuck it! Trump is a total arsehole, and anyone who has ever had the displeasure to deal with him would know. You can’t butter up a turd, let alone polish one,” Darroch writes in the book’s preface.
Notable diplomats throughout history like Niccolò Machiavelli would agree with Darroch, however Machievelli may have solved this particular diplomatic problem a little differently, possibly utilising some hired thugs and a decapitated horse’s head.
The dictionary definition of diplomacy sums up something that is at a loss in this day and age: “The profession, activity, or skill of managing international relations, typically by a country’s representatives abroad.”
Trump’s reply to the recent diplomatic wire from the British ambassador was also the epitome of diplomacy itself.
“Limey bastards! We’re really going to screw you guys over when it comes to a trade deal. How about ship loads of chlorinated chicken, hormone burgers, and Twinkies mixed in a bucket full of GMO fruit and vegetables. Americans have to eat this shit every day, so we’re gonna give it to you Limey bastards too!”
The time of the appeasers has gone, whisked away in the wind of treachery, surrender and half-hearted farts paid for by unelected Brussels technocrats and their cosy brown envelopes brimming with unmarked euros delivered in dark alleyways.
Of course, we still have the hardcore Grieves, merchants of misery whose sole duty is to appease the enemies of Britain, and the Haw Haw Hammonds, the foul blubbing Clarke, and snivelling Letwins, all strange monstrosities who beg for eternal slavery, loss of sovereignty, and who feel the utmost disgust that there is such a thing as democracy in Britain today.
In 1938, as Germany began controlling its neighbours, Churchill had become a staunch critic of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement toward the Nazis.
Theresa May’s role in all of this is one of Neville Chamberlain, and as he appeased Hitler in the latter part of the 1930s, she did the same with the EU. Her constant lies about honouring the will of the people were an ongoing joke, especially when she was presenting a document written by Brussels which would have imprisoned Britain in the EU indefinitely without a get out clause.
It will take much effort, toil and sweat to rid Britain of the horrible defeatist stench of the Theresa May posse of remainers. These people have committed untold sins against this country, and if we were in a time of war, they would surely have been arrested for their role against Britain. This disgraceful coterie of miscreants and cowards, are tactile traitors who generate constant negative nonsense about Brexit, as well as stoking the fires of Project Fear in their pathetic bid to revoke Article 50.
In May 1940, debate in Parliament on the Norwegian crisis led to a vote of no confidence toward Prime Minister Chamberlain. On May 10, 1940, King George VI appointed Churchill as Prime Minister and Minister of Defence.
In May 2019, debate in Parliament on the Brexit crisis and Theresa May’s inept leadership led to her naming a date for her resignation. On May 24, 2019, Theresa May announced her resignation and the commencement of a Conservative party leadership contest. The frontrunner of this competition was immediately apparent with a massive following — Boris Johnson.
The parallels between 1939 and 2019 are indeed unnerving. In both instances, we see the aspirational growth of a Germanic empire or Reich. The 2019 version is not based on military conquest, yet, but economic and political forces led by Germany through its proxy, Brussels. The European Union now wants closer integration, it wants its own EU Army, and it wants to increase its dictatorial totalitarian rule further around the globe. The Reich of Hitler, was created first militarily and then the economic part of its rule over nations came afterwards. The EU however conquered nations through economical means, and is only now increasing their EU Army size. War will come later for the European Union as it will need to expand East to survive. No empire can survive without constant expansion.
Remainers always tout Sir Winston Churchill as being one of the founders of the European Union, but they have not done their research. Churchill fundamentally envisaged a post-war Europe led by Britain and France. Instead, Germany and its defeated slave France are in charge of the EU. Not only that, Britain throughout its 40 years in the EU has been ostracized and maltreated by the EU, all the while using Britain as a piggy bank or cash cow.
Now is the time to fight back, and Boris Johnson must go through with the implementation of Brexit. If he does not, the entire Conservative party will be in serious danger of destroying itself. The back-up plan, if Boris fails also lies with Farage’s Brexit Party. In ideal circumstances, these two political entities could pull off Brexit by working as a team. We shall see.
As a kid I remember the thrill of buying an edition of Mad magazine. It had this certain forbidden edge to it where the writers and artists addressed taboo topics, and destroyed hypocritical celebrities through hilarious parody and satirical stories. Mort Drucker, and his amazing caricature masterpieces are a reminder of the innovative, creative genius of a time long gone by, as well as the other wonderful writers and artists of those days.
Sadly, after the new millennium, Mad magazine was no more, its content had deteriorated to sub-standard PC nonsense. Many including me stopped buying it. There were no more tits, or edgy jokes. The magazine started a downward spiral into politically correct compliance after ads were introduced which forever ruined the freedom that the artists and writers held before.
Mad then had to pander to PC indoctrination, and only write stories which were acceptable to the socialist political ideology of ‘not offending anyone’ which meant that their satirical streak and comedy suffered completely. It is nigh on impossible to write comedy or satire without offending somebody, and this is the crux about socialist political correctness, it renders satire and comedy dead.
Sanitising comedy and satire basically removes the edge off it, from that point, the whole concept of satire falls through the floor, it is bleached out of existence. This is why Mad magazine died, and naturally, no one wants to read it any more, because there is nothing left to read. We also live in an atmosphere today of a youth who are not skeptical but have been indoctrinated in politically correct mantras from infancy and are nothing but NPCs who do not question anymore. These NPCs have no understanding of comedy, satire, or parody so why would they ever buy or read anything of that sort? They are certainly not like the skeptical generation that grew up with Mad in their back pocket.
To survive, satire has to address and question issues that others are not prepared to do.
Look at the cycles of MTV, and YouTube, which used to be edgy, have material that made the viewer watch it. From MTV’s Jackass shorts featuring one of the characters shaving their balls whilst being shot out of a cannon at 200 MPH, to a clinical stale platform where all media is controlled to portray socialist PC public service announcements declaring the benefits of being of a certain skin colour, open borders, bad white people, and encouraging infants to change gender, MTV is now just a socialist public service announcement agenda service playing banal template autotune R’n’B music 24 hours a day in between their indoctrinating adverts .
The same has happened to YouTube, where people could post edgy material without being censored when it first started out. Now, the PC leftist programmed algorithm demotes your video, shadow bans you, and demonetizes your channel, thus creating a sterile echo chamber of mobile phone review videos, and socialist justice politically correct detritus that is vomitously sterile Marxist indoctrination. Eventually these platforms will collapse just like Mad magazine because they lost their edge.
I salute the editors, writers and artists of Mad before the sterilisation and PC socialist agenda kicked in and you were kicked out. You were the real deal, and I enjoyed many an afternoon chuckling through your pages as a kid. Thank you for those brief moments.
Man City have been installed as the odds-on favourites to win the Premier League for the third time in a row next season. Pep Guardiola’s finished the 2018/19 campaign with 14 consecutive victories and that saw them pip Liverpool to the post by a single point. They have put forward a compelling case to be named the greatest team in Premier League history by securing the two highest-ever points tallies and playing some scintillating football along the way. Now they will bid to cement their dominance with a third consecutive title triumph, a feat that would match Man Utd’s record.
Yet Liverpool are expected to put up another ferocious challenge. Jurgen Klopp’s men earned more Premier League points than Chelsea, Man Utd or Arsenal have ever mustered last season, and still fell short due to Man City’s brilliance. Yet they went on to win the Champions League with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham, and they head into the 2019/20 season as kings of Europe. The bookmakers expect another two-horsed race between those clubs next season: the top rated sportsbooks make Man City 4/6 favourites, with Liverpool priced at 9/4, and then Spurs all the way out at 16/1, Chelsea and Man Utd at 25/1 and Arsenal at 40/1.
That makes a great deal of sense. Chelsea were third last season, but well off the pace set by Man City and Liverpool. They have lost star player Eden Hazard to Real Madrid, and they cannot bring in quality reinforcements due to a transfer ban. They will surely regress.
Man Utd were dire in the final weeks of last season and new manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer is yet to convince anyone of his credentials, while Paul Pogba wants out. Arsenal were abject in losing 4-1 to the Blues in the Europa League final, and they are strapped for cash, so it is hard to see them improving upon last season’s fifth placed finish.
Tottenham are the one team that could muscle their way into the title race, provided they keep hold of their best players. Christian Eriksen has been linked with a move away from the club, and that will worry fans, as he is their best creative force. Yet they have finally opened the chequebook, signing highly rated central midfielder Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon, and he should be a good replacement for Mousa Dembele.
However, it does look like a two-horsed race, and it will be fascinating to see who prevails. Liverpool’s players are in their prime, they are fit as fiddles and they have totally bought into Klopp’s relentless, hard-pressing style. Man City have a few more concerns, as Sergio Aguero and David Silva are seemingly on their last legs and club captain Vincent Kompany has retired, while Fernandinho is now 34. Those four have been the backbone of the team for years, and Man City will need a new spine.
They have brought in Rodri from Atletico Madrid and he looks like a fine holding midfielder, while Bernardo Silva continues to grow in stature as a creative talent. Yet they need a commanding centre-back, and it will be interesting to see if they sign a striker or place faith in Gabriel Jesus to compete with Aguero for a place in the team.
Liverpool look more settled than Man City and fans will dare to dream that 2020 could finally be the year in which they seize a first ever Premier League title. The one thing these Man City players lack is the Champions League, and if they really go for it in Europe then it could pave the way for Liverpool to seize domestic glory. It promises to be another fascinating season and fans will keep a close eye on the transfer market in the coming weeks as these giants of the English game strengthen their squads ahead of the titanic battle.
Unleashed into the EU parliament, MEP Ann Widdecombe, sniffed the fear amongst the assembled unelected eurocrats before debuting her venomous anti-EU speech to the assembled soviets in the EU Parliament.
Widdecombe’s choice of analogy and words hit the spot right on the bulls eye mark as she compared the unelected EU hierarchy as feudal lords, and the rest of the EU member states as slave serfs. There is truth in this comparison simply because there is a deficit of democracy in the EU, where officials are not voted in by the people but a close-knit politburo of other unelected EU officials.
Naturally, the Remain-centric press denigrated auntie Widdecombe’s furious words but it certainly hits home at the construct of a European Union modelled on soviet ideology which rejects democratic values and concepts.
Guy Maurice Marie Louise Verhofstadt, was seen cowering under his desk during and after the Widdecombe speech. The vitriolic words seem to have hit home with vicious accuracy.
