It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

The Epping Protesters Have Had Enough of Being Ignored and Lied To Fri Jul 18, 2025 15:00 | David Shipley
Last night's violence in Epping is the desperate cry of people who have been ignored for decades, says David Shipley. Violence must be condemned. But if the state doesn?t change course, and fast, we will see many Eppings.

Why is Modernity so Ugly? Fri Jul 18, 2025 11:00 | Joanna Gray
Why is the modern world so unremittingly ugly, wonders Joanna Gray. As yet another interchangeable block of beige bricks springs up in town, the contrast with the glories of the structures our ancestors built is damning.

Jump To Comment: 1 2the vote in the commons yesterday of course followed the technical "democratic" bit of Q&A which I linked to last night - then just about the stage of almost everyone in Westminster giving the green light to more Brit nukes - the Liberal Democrats raised a topic I haven't spotted on my radar in 2 years.
the SBIRS ( which is a US missile shield system read about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SBIRS )
Blair's defence secretaries of course clucked clucked "anyway anyway" that there are no plans on the table at the moment for the US to be allowed use British facilities as part of that shield. Indeed - the neocons want them out in the former warsaw pact. Which is dear reader one reason they want you or more specifically members of Congress in the USA to believe that Iran wants nukes. (remember ye are not members of congress - remember ye like me are scum - though probably most of you are higher paid scum than I am)
Touching the "non-subject" of SBIRS confirmed for those who read Jane's weekly (an august newspaper for army and special services types not a porn mag) that the British nuclear deterrent is "more independent" than ever before. OH yes. quite. ribbid. gurgle.
Then I remembered monday's space launch from ESA control centre on the north South American coast. Yes! the skynet system which got up there at a cost of £3.2bn. Skynet ought remind most of you the computer system in the fictional sci-fi series of movies "The Terminator" which of course were so good Arnold Schwarzenegger is now governor of California. Skynet will further ensure that the Brit Hun army and its nuclear deterrent continue to be ever so more "independent".....without technically saying or declaring that they are. Blair has not needed to a De Gaulle renegotiation of NATO - on the contrary the more independent of NATO HMG-UK becomes - the more control over NATO HMG-UK exerts.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6434773.stm
I'll not go out on a limb & speculate on the future use of this technology or of a Brit Hun nuke incident for the moment - save to say - I have long maintained that the HMG UK's (meaning the true ruling class not the elected meritocracy) interest was served by the Iraqi invasion in several ways -
(1) it ensured the discredit of new labour.
(2) it put the US where they wanted them - in a mess.
(3) it meant the discredit of the UN and its irksome burdens and limitations of imperial action for their own HMGUK "brit hun 21st century". As I said I'm not going out on a limb with this - most of it comes from having known etonians at various points in my life & noting how they think - in hundred year time spans. Suffice to say - The Brits have more Nukes and more tech to use them and less moral inhibition on thier use than at any stage since Mr Fuchs passed the Abomb secrets first to the Soviets & then to.....
Aside from C.A.A.T. (& pals) and Janes Defence Weekly (told you above that's a specialist journal not a porn mag) no-one really watches defence expenditure. Makes it very easy to bill wrongly, run up false labour costs, & make a packet. With money which to be quite frank .:. ought go to the 3rd world and poor of the realm & peace bonus funds for the Basques.
the MOD (UK HMG Ministry of war) accepted the idea of building 2 Skynet satelites. Just in case the one which didn't get launched on March 11th (I'd find a war system particularly offensive on that date) but the next day - got effed up on the way.
A lot of reasons why it would get effed up on the way. ESA isn't HMG UK property. Quite a few people would like to see Skynet effed up before hand, on the way & once it's up there. There are some aspects of its design which push the envelope on strategic technological balance. Which I dear friends am agin. I'll tell you about the militarisation of space another time - maybe some day my idea for an indymedia global space site will be taken up. Anyway..............
If Skynet goes squeeky tick tock like clockwork - it is supposed to pay for itself over the forthcoming years by leasing out part of its bandwith. Not to you or me. It took "us lot" years to get satelite space by which time there were thousands of religious telly channels competing with porn movies coming down to us from space. The who and why of the leasing of that bandwith is........ too big an issue to touch on here......... I'll tell you more soon enough........(in a sunday papers). But just to give you a quick visual idea of the market who will be pitching (& it is a closed near cartel - almost all in the hands of one of the few lady US billionaires) here's a reminder of the Lebanon war - I asked you to consider whose telly war that was & to thus appreciate how important telly and other communication satelites are to us. That war began ostensibly over a border soldier hostage incident you'll remember. Low tech stuff - they never came back either :-
