No more pacifism for an EU that gears up for war Will the EU command structure be any better than that of Russia? One prominent milblogger stated in a post published on March 5 (which has been viewed 1.7 million times as of this writing) that the Russian military command has no response to the sinking of the Sergei Kotov because no one likes to tell the truth to the military command and that the military command refuses to learn important lessons from past experiences to improve the military. Another milblogger emphasized that it would be very important for the Russian command to listen to the crew of the Sergei Kotov to improve and modernize naval vessels and defensive procedures in the future. Another milblogger responded to this assessment and claimed that the Russian command is extraordinarily unlikely to do so because of an ”administrative guillotine” in the Russian military bureaucracy that prevents such learning and innovation, as well as the command’s larger cultural proclivity to cover up mistakes instead of addressing them. Miroslava Reginskaya, the wife of imprisoned ultra-nationalist and former Russian officer Igor Girkin, posted on March 5 an archival letter written by Girkin in 2018 wherein Girkin complained about the incompetence of… Read more »

Remember this? ‘While the 9th Directorate of the FSB’s Fifth Service Department for Operational Information prepared for the occupation of Ukraine from July 2021, the 11th Unit of the Department for Operational Information, responsible for Moldova, was assessing plans for the next round of operations under the direction of Major General Dmitry Milyutin. In November 2020, the FSB’s strategic objective in Moldova was to bring about ‘The full restoration of the strategic partnership between Moldova and the Russian Federation’.’ FSB Outline of Operational Aims and Means, 21 November 2021. Here you go: ‘The Director of the Moldovan Intelligence and Security Service, Alexandru Musteata, stated that the Kremlin is conducting an “unprecedented level” of hybrid operations aimed at preventing Moldova from joining the EU and keeping Moldova in Russia’s sphere of influence. Musteata stated that the first stage of Russian hybrid operations began with attempts to compromise local elections in 2023 and that Russia intends to also interfere in Moldova’s upcoming presidential election in late 2024 and parliamentary elections in the summer of 2025. Musteata stated that pro-Kremlin Moldovan politicians with ties to the Kremlin, either directly or through Russian and Moldovan organized crime groups, will try to promote pro-Russia policies… Read more »

The headline is incorrect, which is ‘disturbing’

‘Donelan’s department said that it had paid the damages and legal costs when asked who had done so, adding: “This was subject to all the usual cross-government processes…’

Reports of abuse of Palestinian prisoners are quite established and unfortunately can accompany any military.

The Knesset is debating whether to conscript the currently exempt orthodox Jews into the military. Bringing their religious zeal to the battlefield may add an effective fighting force but at the risk of an increased level of savagery. This year is the 30th anniversary of the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre. People do like celebrating anniversaries.

I thought the whole point of the News Round-Up was to provide readers with a selection of interesting news stories every day.

I didn’t know that the journalist providing these news items was obliged to include every single news story he could possibly find on one conflict thousands of miles away.

Are the terrorists’ Useful Idiot yobs that pollute our streets every weekend and constantly prove to be a disruptive nuisance just using this latest conflict in the Middle East to demonstrate how anti-West they are as opposed to merely antisemitic? Personally I think it’s both, and have called them out as traitors from the beginning because that’s exactly what they are. They are using the fact we are a democracy ( supposedly, anyway ) here in the West, to illustrate how anti-democratic they actually are; ”The main reason for the politcization of the conflict between Israel and Hamas is therefore relatively straight forward: it reflects the culture war taking place in Europe and the West overall. The left-wing progressives’ embracing of Palestine and by extension Hamas coupled with an equally keen rejection of Israel should not primarily be seen as an outburst of antisemitism, but of anti-Western sentiment. That is, Israel is not being opposed because it is a Jewish state, but rather because it is a Western one. This anti-Western sentiment springs from an alliance between Palestinians and Western left-wingers, progressives, academics, and journalists which goes back decades, and is grounded in the belief that the Palestinian fight against… Read more »

Excellent. 100% concur. ‘Jew-Haters R US’, this is for you; ”No one else will say it, so I’ll say it. Criticizing the Israeli government has always been as legitimate as criticizing any other government. That being said, if after October 7th you don’t stand with Israel in its war on Hamas, there’s something I have to tell you and I’m sorry to be the one to say it, so maybe sit down for this. You. Are. An. Antisemite. That’s right. There is no scenario in which you side with Hamas after what it did and what it wants to do over and over and you can claim you don’t hate Jews. Not possible. It’s really pretty simple. Hamas wants all Jews dead. They don’t hide it. They are proud of it. If you support them, you support another Holocaust. That makes you an antisemite. Oh, and while on the topic, if you don’t think Israel has a right to exist, that means you don’t think the Jewish people deserve to come home to their homeland where they are indigenous. So let me get this straight. Christian countries? Sure. Muslim countries? No problem. One tiny little Jewish state? Nope. That’s too… Read more »

I do not hate anyone but I think it is disgraceful, abominable and inhuman to bomb refugee camps. Ditto for the destruction of hospitals and civilian infrastructure. Ditto for the murder of mothers walking with children while waving white flags, the murder of ambulance personnel trying to rescue children or remove dead bodies, and the murder of starving citizens trying to reach food supplies. How callous must one be to be able to perform such crimes?

Two wrongs do not make a right. There is no justification whatsoever for killing 15,000 children. In my opinion, Israel is in self-destruct mode. There will be an end to all these crimes at some stage, and then Israel will turn around and discover the world has become a very lonely place.

What a pity. Here I thought your comments were often so interesting and informative, if a bit obsessed with a conflict thousands of miles away that has nothing to do with us.

Now you are pulling the “antisemitic” card and hurling it in everyone’s faces triumphantly, like some sort of Spanish Inquisitor. Yes, it is true that various commenters have taken one side or another over this conflict thousands of miles away, but that’s Freedom of Speech, for which Toby Young founded the Free Speech Union and the Daily Sceptic.

So please just wind your neck in, and continue to provide interesting and informative comments about matters more important to us trying to deal with the deliberate destruction of western civilization.

“Stop being scared of Islamophobia. Start worrying about ‘Anglophobia’” – All over the U.K., there are bright, talented women being held back by a system of patriarchy we that have unwittingly imported, says Allison Pearson in the Telegraph What Pearson is taking about there is the religious oppression of Muslim women in the name of Islam. Pearson doesn’t mention the societal oppression of British men in the name of feminism. And, it seems, is incapable of connecting the dots: silencing decent men by telling them all that they are evil, ignorant, dumb, murdering rapists, allows actual evil, ignorant, dumb, murdering rapists to thrive. We can ignore the blatant hostility against white men that has pervaded all media for decades, we can ignore that white boys are failing in a female-bent educational system, we can ignore that it’s now ok to say “you can’t even apply for this job because you’re a white male”, we can ignore the drowning amount of socially acceptable discrimination from the trivial to the heart-breaking. We can ignore it all because there’ll always be sisters that need defending you see. And, anyway, who gives a flying sh*t about British men? I mean, what did they ever do… Read more »

I too was disappointed to see that her definition of Anglophobia only refers to women and, on first glance, thought it was going to mention the whole ‘white men bad’ propaganda currently being forces upon us. And let’s be honest, patriarchy as a social and political construct is just as bad for men as it is for women; it’s also irrelevant in a time of rampant oligarchic hegemony that, as one of its strands, is attempting to destroy the biological imperative of binary sex as one of its weapons. Move on, Pearson, love: the enemy isn’t men or women, left or right, it’s shadowy elites (of both sexes) who want to destroy cultures, nations and freedoms for their own nefarious ends.

Well said. I’m a bloke and the women in my life have what I would regard as normal, healthy attitudes to issues like the “role of the sexes”, men’s common failings etc (a certain wariness of some men in some situations seems sensible to me) – they focus on being themselves and living their lives without feeling they have to conform to anything.

‘Now is the time’ for the King to apologise for role in slave trade

No, it isn’t, and never will be. The grifters and their Marxist-Redistribution-of-Wealth Enablers are forgetting that the King is a Christian, a faithful Protestant as he swore in his coronation oath. And as Claphamian so astutely pointed out yesterday on here, Christianity demands that you repent your own sins, not the sins of others. Especially not the sins of others centuries ago.

Any Christian who demands or gives apologies and reparations for the African slave trade is violating their Christian faith.

Any Muslim or Jewish person who demands it must offer reparations for the White Slave Trade, which has been going on since the 6th century.

Anyone else who demands it is either a Third World Parasite or a Communist Traitor.

What is also interesting regarding the king & other senior royals is that they’re missing in action. Where are they? Very strange that the 4 most senior royals in the country suddenly withdraw from engagements along with Edward, the death of Prince Michael of Kent’s son & the covered in black standard being trooped down the Mall by guardsmen on 2 black horses & 1 white, the white one representing the monarch, the day before Rothschild’s death was announced. Princess of Wales hasn’t been seen in public since Christmas Day, was announced & then quickly redacted that she would be present at Trooping of the Colour in June. Very strange times.
None of this is being covered ATL. This is our constitutional governance going absent. Surely that deserves some investigating? And not just in the MSM.

Yes, you are right that something strange is going on. Since the Globalists want to get rid of every monarchy, and their plan is to put an African on the throne to finally destroy the whole concept of the UK and especially England, I wondered how they were going to get rid of the other six royals in the line of succession so they can crown Harry’s sprogs. It seems like they’re taking a medical route, convincing various royals that they have lethal diseases, and hoping no one remembers that there is a vast difference between being “diagnosed” with cancer and actually having it. The royals should not trust any Third World “doctors”. Remember that Muslim doctor in Michigan, Farid Fatah, who gave false cancer diagnoses to over 500 patients, and is now serving a life sentence for it, I think. It’s the chemo & radiation that kills people, and King Charles is right to search for alternative herbal cures.

I wondered also if someone was blackmailing Thomas Kingston to further dismantle the royals.

The Rothschild ritual down the Mall you described is truly sinister. Thanks for that chilling info, with zero MSM coverage, so nobody knows about it.

The royals are relatively lowly members of the cabal. I suspect that they’re just following orders. Many of them have been photographed with their hands making a 4 sided shape in front of them which is a symbol to the higher members of the cabal. Camilla did this at the coronation, Kate has done this at various engagements. Weird stuff going on.
The photo published of Kate being driven by her mum is weird as the mole over the right corner of her upper lip is absent….

Don’t fall for those tactics. What is happening in the Middle East is horrific & we should be condemning the sheer scale of deaths, the starvation of a population & the involvement of the UK in perpetuating it. The war there is just another psych op to push towards a world war to perpetuate money laundering, impoverish the people & make us easier to control. Sadly for those caught up in the middle of it, is awful. But then we already know that the deaths of civilians is insignificant, even welcomed by the… Read more »

A quiet coup is handing control of Britain to the lawyers

The principle that Parliament is supreme is being subverted. Should we adopt the Iranian system of rule by a Council of Guardians – wise Ayatollahs – who oversee what elected representatives must, may and cannot do, to ensure government policies accord with the Ayatollahs’ interpretation of sacred texts…” writes Peter Lilley, crucially exposing the Globalist attempt to force a “Judocracy” = “Rule by Judges” upon the entire world.

This also relates to two other articles in the DS News Round-Up about the unjust prosecutions of our own military for doing their jobs. It is outrageous legal harassment.

This also relates to two other articles in the DS News Round-Up:

“Soldiers could face charges over the death of a suspected jihadist” – Five serving SAS soldiers are facing possible murder charges over the death of a suspected jihadist in Syria, reveals the Mail.”

“Former SAS soldier in his 60s jailed for six months” – A former SAS hero is to be jailed for refusing to appear at the inquest of three members of an IRA ‘death squad’, reveals the Mail on Sunday.”

I’ve just discovered that the Tories allowed the Catholics to neuter Boris Johnson’s legislation to end all Troubles prosecutions. He was trying to balance the outrageous total immunity given to the IRA terrorists by also giving immunity to the Protestants and British troops, but the final legislation has set up an “Independent Commission for Reconciliation & Information Recovery (ICRIR)” headed by Irish Catholic judge Declan Morgan. And they are going to spend decades niggling over “immunity requests”, and hounding British Army veterans and serving soldiers like the SAS. The whole thing has been subverted by Ireland on behalf of the Vatican.
