Here is one telling of the events of early August. Victims of terror violence in Britain were used to being handled in a certain way. This was ‘Controlled Spontaneity’: a choreographed spectacle of compulsory togetherness, activated whenever a tragedy of this kind occurred.
The objective of Controlled Spontaneity is to create enough display, theatre, and, above all, noise to displace any natural feelings of grief or reflection among the victims. The crashing cymbals of brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, the ‘chicken burgers’ of James Corden. Huge bodies of people are immediately dropped at the scene of the crime to crowd out the bereaved. After the London Bridge attack of 2017 “a hundred imams” were dispatched with speed to the borough of Southwark.

Don’t Give Governments Total Power
Bonfire of teenagers – Morrisey
And the silly people sing: “Don’t Look Back in Anger”
And the morons sing and sway: “Don’t Look Back in Anger”
I can assure you I will look back in anger ’till the day I die
Great stuff!
If Reform play their cards correctly, we should, hopefully, be witnessing in May 2025 scenes similar to those playing out today in the provincial elections in Eastern Germany.
Just ‘Don’t mention the war!’
Rodney is so hopelessly out of his depth that car crash is rapidly segueing into comedy gold.
Just about as entertaining a watch and arguably less expensive per hour than watching the splendid England cricket team at Lord’s
Eastern Germany – AfD not in power, because 60+% voted for left wing pro-immigration Uniparty parties. A better performance than Reform, as in France, but not enough. In the US if the world is lucky the “right” might get more than 50%, but it will be close. White people are still voting in their millions across the rich world for their own destruction.
Germany is coalition power. AfD beat the CDU in one election, level in the other. It can be the major coalition partner.
All the left wing parties (including CDU) will form a coalition without AfD.
As seen recently in France.
The power of the ballot box is an illusion unless the outcome agrees with the borg.
Not entirely
Brexit and Trump – but even the results of those votes have been watered down
If Ms. Giggler and the DNC don’t steal the election, it won’t be for lack of effort on their part.
When the GOP wing of the US Uniparty win, they take office. When the DNC wins, they take power. (Steyn).
If someone is shoved, the natural reaction is to shove back. I strongly suspect that is what will happen in many areas which Labour won on 4 July, but where Reform came second with a sizeable vote.
I don’t live in those areas – but I have some sympathy for the protesters (not the rioters) and, when Two-Tier-Keir started his Stalinistic war on free speech, my reaction was to join the Free Speech Union.
I’m not at risk since I don’t use social media, so my sub is intended to help others who ARE at risk from Keir Stalin’s tyranny.
Same here, not on social media but joined the fsu to backup those that need it
ditto
ditto as well….
I also threw in a few quid to help Toby fund the judicial review he’s fighting the mothballing of the already passed Free Speech Universities Act by the ideologue Phillipson.

If the Southport killer had turned out to be a Syrian, on Mi6 watch list, who’d arrived recently on an inflatable dingy, would the Facebook posters & tweeters still have been locked up? Or, if yes, would they have been locked up for shorter time?
No. Longer. Why would Starmer fear Rwandans more than the Syrians and other RoP adherents, who he resolutely supports?
It is my view that it was the riots in Leeds, with the burning of multiple vehicles and the abject failure of the police that led to the Southport and subsequent riots, coupled with provocative policing which was not evident in Leeds, nor at pro-Palestinian marches.
Provocative policing is the same catalyst which was used during anti-lockdown protests, where the additional technique of kettling was employed.
Yes the Police love the game of agent provocateur against anyone right of Corbyn.
Apparently agents provocateurs wear the same shoes so they can identify each other. Has anyone else heard this? Would make sense if so and a simple thing to look out for.
You only had to look at the difference. They ran away in Leeds. Refused to arrest wrong doers in the Hamas marches. But with every white working class protest they are instantly out in full TSG riot gear shoving people with the shields, people who have only shouted but who will instinctively shove back if they feel they have done no wrong. The snatch squad then goes in to take the shover out, one more ‘thug’ arrested and if a member of the snatch squad breaks a nail, even better because then we have a wounding a member of the emergency services charge as well
I wouldn’t dismiss the persecution of free social media as a superficial distraction. I think it is really the key battle and the future of our society rests on it.
Whether we like it or not, all of us are programmable beings. We begin our programming as children and it continues throughout our lives.
The story of civilisation is the story of how rulers managed to programme the masses to do their bidding, with religion, with ideology, with political ideas.
What rulers fear the most it seems to me is when the population gains the ability to programme itself and tune out the brainwashing of the rulers.
The Internet and social media, like the printing press hundreds of years before, provides people with the means to chose their information. And if that is allowed it will absolutely and without any doubt cause enormous disruption, just as like the printing press did.
We are seeing only the beginning of the that process. How successful the ruling apparatus will be in taking control of the information on the iInternet remains to be seen. In China, control is complete. They’re trying it over here. Whether they’ll succeed remains to be seen.
I’m pretty sure it’s the battle of our times.
See image. It’s nicely recursive given the message AND the fact Elon is then doing his usually, speaking his mind by retweeting, knowing there will be some who are driven to distraction by the fact he has every right to do so.
Agreed. They are terrified that so many are now refusing to pay for, are ignoring and are therefore not brainwashed by, the BBC and other MSM.
A point the comedian Leo Kearse made was that Chinese totalitarianism is based on loyalty to the state, a kind of enforced patriotism. But with the Globalist leaders in the West, we seem to have totalitarianism enforced ‘against’ patriotism.
This is a very good article, marred by one point I feel – and this is just in my opinion. And that is the critically central story not mentioned: Tommy Robinson. The most interesting aspect to all this is how for many people, the realisation has grown, that Robinson is not the person the state has designated him to be and through X, another bette-noire of this administration, the country at large is getting to understand that fact. The state needs a lifelong thug who regularly beats people up and hates minorities. But it rather seems the man has been judged on his accent and youthful football yobbishness he rapidly grew out of. The man they really have is someone who far more than any of the establishment is thoroughly with the people, including minorities, and who is, contrary to his accent, highly eloquent, and who – and this is the source of their biggest misjudgement of all – is highly intellectually curious and flexible. More so, I venture to add, than the average MP. He held a rally in London, and worse for the state, has become thoroughly wise to how state-actors will be sent in to cause violence precisely so it can be blamed on a (actually largely mythical) far right and riot police can then be sent in and filmed. He has called persistently for calm and order and peaceful protest (not the rabble rousing message the state would like to see). He ensured anyone in masks was welcomed away from the rally (thus blocking false flag state actors) and waddaya know, the protest was entirely peaceful.
There are three videos I recommend watching ragrding Robinson, the first of which has now been viewed over 45 million times. The first is pinned to his profile page. The documentary “banned by the courts.” (Only he is banned from showing it, not us from watching it) If you haven’t seen it and believe the establishment narrative and think it was banned because he libelled the kid in the documentary, ask yourself if you believe that after watching it:
https://x.com/trobinsonnewera?s=21&t=AY3dxo4CPswl6wmndLEhaw
and then there is a two part interview he has done with Jordan Peterson.
https://youtu.be/FatHBNcpiRE?si=9W4Z7FE6lVs6GFqU
and
https://youtu.be/Bv0TW2LF_dE?si=7zgyQR2oDaU1eHeN
In the second one he discusses the recent riots. All make for exceptionally compelling viewing. I never had the view most people had of Tommy Robinson, having heard an interview he did with James Dellingpole some years back. However, now with these videos, it has become clear to me he is not only brave, but is emerging as a true folk hero and is likely to go down in history as a Robin Hood like character. The state have clearly misjudged him and picked the wrong man to designate as a stooge for their far-right, fascist and ’hate’ labels.
I realise in writing this I forgot to relate it particularly effectively to the article. Robinson was of course the central, but always offstage, character in Starmer’s operation. Starmer himself didn’t mention him, as far as I am aware, but there was a number of people who did issue a set of apparently coordinate messages about him. And there were a series of stories planted and repeated about the riots being led by the English Defense League – an organisation Robinson used to lead, but that has not existed for over 12 years. Chief of the anti-Robinson media crowd was Piers Morgan. His efforts to insert a narrative with regards to Robinson, his careful curation of just the ‘right” kind of lies about him (perpetuating the Fascist bogeyman myth), IMO displayed a level of sophistication and wilful disinformation that mark him out as more than a pundit. I have no proof if it, but there were things he has said that he must surely know were lies, yet he said them anyway. So it then seems to me he has immense trust that the establishment narrative will maintain sufficient cover for him to do a knowing and carefully calibrated “hatchet job.” Except with X it isn’t sticking any longer. I therefore found Piers Morgan’s performance deeply sinister and disturbing, I no longer believe what he is saying is entirely of his own volition and I now believe he is to some extent an organ of the state.
“…he is to some extent an organ of the state.”
I gave up on Piers Morgan years ago seeing him as nothing more than a gobby trouble causer. Quite possibly your conclusion is correct and there is a security file on him bigger than Encyclopaedia Britannica. Whatever, I don’t give him the time of day.
Yes I gave up on him during the Lockdowns too. Even if I was high profile figure, I would reject even talking with that Globalist stooge.
I have followed Tommy Robinson for quite a few years and I have to admit I never saw the man the media portrayed. Robinson always came across as a true British patriot, a man desperately concerned for the future of this country and someone prepared to make his case. Furthermore, unlike any political figure currently operating he was prepared to suffer the injustices of false imprisonment for his beliefs. Basically, a very brave man.
I attended the Freedom Rally on July 27th in Trafalgar Square and uplifting and heart-warming doesn’t come close and I doubt I was on my own with my feelings. There were two “incidents” that I witnessed on the day, one a couple turned up in masks, the silly blue things and they were spoken to by our security staff and politely told to remove the masks or leave. They removed the masks and stayed. The second incident was a lone protestor who crossed the front of the stage waving a Palestinian flag and shouting “Free Palestine.” He was firmly ushered away by two of the event security. That was it.
A fabulous, friendly, patriotic day which had been brilliantly organised.
Whatever his faults Tommy Robinson fights for Britain, British people and the British way of life. I respect the man. Nobody else in this country comes close. There are many admirable speakers such as Peter Hitchens, Matt Goodwin, David Starkey, Jordan Peterson, Mahyar Tousi, Katie Hopkins and others but only Tommy Robinson has gone to prison for his beliefs. I don’t know how he perseveres.
Respect.
Funny how Robinson & Hopkins never seem to get invited on GBN. It’s almost as if they pander to free speech in name only and their management are full of wet lefties. Ofcom had them over a barrel over Steyn, if they had stones (like proper men) they would’ve stood up for the man.
Exactly. Robinson in particular is the unwilling actor in a state sponsored role. What they have done to him is very dark indeed. And what it demonstrates is morality has nothing to do with it. In which case they are prepared to do it to any of us. They are not upholding truth. And now Starmer is in charge things are going to get a whole lot worse.
I totally agree with you Ron. I always take GB News with a pinch of salt. And that’s when I can be bothered.
The more I see of TR the more I support his determination to speak out about what’s happening in our cities. Perhaps that’s why TPTB want to suppress him by whatever means necessary.
I agree. Without a doubt.
I’m reading this late in the day but thanks for bringing this up and I appeciate the comments on it. I have an open mind about TR’s activities and motives but he shouldn’t be ignored. His persecution by the authorities and vilification/cancellation by the MSM is sinister.
AfD – the ‘Far Right’ Party in Germany had made great gains in two regional election much to the dismay of the elites.
Dark Lord Starmer had urged his oppo Scholz to do all he can to stop the AfD.
Meanwhile the Far Left coalition is moving to impeach Macron who refuses to accept the appointment of a PM from the majority coalition.
Interesting times.
It has to be observed that no one is ‘driven’ to acts of crime. This is a choice. Theodore Dalrymple has described how prisoners use formulas of words to deny their agency in a violent act: ‘The knife went in’, they say. As if the knife wielded the carrier.
Only recently, if rather belatedly, the Archbishop of Canterbury was urging all faiths to ‘come together’ against the ‘far-Right’. As if Jesus of Nazareth, a provincial, wasn’t opposed by an educated metropolitan elite and the Roman state. What do they reach them in the Church of England these days? Organised spontaneity is still to be deployed.
Given the almost complete media blackout on the pro-Palestinian protesters who aggressively besieged Labour candidates in the General Election and the election of five such pro-Palestinian candidates, ‘right-wing populism’ might be the least of Mr McSweeney’s and Labour’s worries. The ‘far-Right’ – the assortment of individuals swept up as by a dragnet by the police and brought with speedy efficiency before the courts for their uncontrolled spontaneity – were a breeze to deal with. Overcrowding in prisons? No problem!
This demonstrates that determined policing and custodial sentences are not only effective to quell crime but that the police and courts are still able to perform the functions for which they exist. It’s just that everyday crime doesn’t challenge the authority of the state. Nor inconvenience its ministers with their levels of personal security.
And the difference between the state locking up a granny carer for months as if she were an incendiary danger to the Reichstag on the one hand, and on the other the prosecution of just a handful of the men responsible for the gang rape of an untold number of girls after the servants of the state had turned a blind eye to this horror for years, is that difference in how an colonial government deals with different peoples; negotiating with the tame leaders of some while mounting punitive campaigns against others less in receipt of imperial favour.
Meanwhile, after all the captains of controlled spontaneity and the kings of togetherness depart, what of the bereaved? What of the parents who must live without their beloved child, falling everyday into a bottomless well of emptiness? What of the mother whose son was murdered, stabbed in the neck – the now commonplace and signature modus operandi – while riding his bicycle, whose husband died of a heart attack upon seeing his dead son, and whose second son committed suicide out of despair? Is she still weeping everyday? What an ocean her tears must have filled.
Many thanks for such an erudite albeit bleak post.
I’m not intelligent enough to understand the article, but it’s probably not aimed at people like me, but regarding the headline, he may not have “total power” but he has succeeded in imprisoning quite a few people for just saying stuff, without no outcry from the mainstream, and most importantly this will make everyone a lot more careful about what they say in future. Job done.
“most importantly this will make everyone a lot more careful about what they say in future. Job done.”
More than likely tof but there is a downside for Kneel and his treasonous associates – everybody knows when they are having to watch what they say. So while Kneel may think he has put a lid on dissenting views the reality is that the dissension only becomes further entrenched and likely to spread amongst the like-minded. So, his sticking plaster solution will be a failure.
Kneel is no more in charge of this country than I am but his handlers, chiefly Bliar are too far removed from daily life to know how to deal with simmering dissent and inevitably it will grow. In fact dissent and expressions of it will as the months pass actually become more sophisticated in the ways it is spread and numbers involved will increase. So, ‘job done’ but only temporarily.
Hope you are right – it’s not like you to be more optimistic than I am 🙂
🙂 😀 😀
I do hope you’re right.
Dr Gary Sidley – always worth a read – at TCW with an excellent short article outlining how the government manipulates terror events and the responses to them.
Once we become aware of how stage-managed these responses are even an unmanaged incident will be tinged with suspicion.

I FoIed Number 10 3 weeks ago. A simple request
“Please list the Far Right groups involved in the recent troubles in various towns”
They have till September 9th to reply
Also another asking them to provide the business experience of all Cabinet members, and the positions and responsibilities of those who had any,
Will report back as and when…
Excellent.
I thought the police had been renamed Starmtroopers and I for one will not call them anything else from now on until they return to being the citizen guardians of law and order rather than a government goon squad. I was on the anti lockdown marches with other women and children and I saw the disgraceful way they behaved then. It’s obvious they deploy like soldiers on the orders of the government so they are troops on a battlefield, not police sworn to keep the peace.
I don’t know that KS has failed. Time will tell. Nor do I know that things are quite as in the picture J Sorel paints. On the whole, I find Miri AF (miriaf.co.uk) and UK Column (ukcolumn.org) my best sources of information on these things.
Miri is always worth reading and UK Column should be on every Sceptics reading list.
Reading and watching list! Glad you agree.
