What is David Cameron Doing?

Former British prime minister and new Foreign Secretary, David Cameron is a warmonger, of that there can be no doubt. In the supplied link, Peter Hitchens looks at his track record and wonders what he has in store for his second appearance at the rodeo:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-12913015/PETER-HITCHENS-David-Camerons-job-safe-intent-rattling-sabre-again.html

Yet the person...(who, it has to be said, lacks any great record of achievement in any area of life, apart from the feathering of his own nest) is now Foreign Secretary. And what does he do? Is he chastened by his past blunders? No, he has got out his sabre and is rattling it. While the rest of the country settled down to turkey and plum duff, he gave an interview in which he growled that Iran must be sent 'an incredibly clear message' that its current behaviour 'will not be tolerated'. He proclaimed that Britain would work with allies to 'develop a really strong set of deterrent measures' against Tehran.

2024 Dangerous Times

We could go the wrong way or the right way. Wrong would be underestimating Russia and keeping on prodding the bear. Wrong would be backing Israel any longer. Israel has lost the plot and needs to be brought to heel. Wrong would be thinking another scamdemic would do the trick, and that we need more government oversight, controls and lack of bodily autonomy.

The right way would be to seal borders against illegal migrants, stop trying to start WWIII, stop with the crazy climate catastrophe nonsense and give people back their lives.

2024 is the year we'll find out which way we're headed. We are likely headed for a financial collapse, world war, and another takedown of the western world through lockdowns and other stupid measures. If this does transpire, will people take it this time, or will there be revolution? We came damn close in 2020/2021.

If Trump Was President Again

Would things be any different if Donald Trump was President again? Well, there would be fewer wars.

Stephen Fry Cancelled

I'm not normally one to accept the culture of cancellation, but on this I have to say it is justified. Britain's so-called 'national treasure', Stephen Fry spoke against what he saw as a culture of anti-Semitism becoming the norm.

I haven't seen his broadcast, but did he also mention the atrocities being committed by Israel in Gaza right this minute? If he spoke about one, and yet failed to condemn the other in the same sentence, then as far as I'm concerned, Stephen Fry is an apologist. We see you Stephen Fry, we see you for what you stand for and what you are.

Following his “Alternative Christmas Message” on Channel 4 today, Mr Fry - who is of Jewish heritage - has been accused of spreading propaganda for Israel as they continue their retaliatory bombings of Gaza following the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7. The TV star pointed to a huge rise in antisemitism in the UK following the attack, and claimed it was the “one acceptable form of racism”.

His critics fiercely accused of him of “playing the victim” and ignoring the suffering of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza. However, others praised the “beautiful” message and its stance against antisemitism.

King Charles 2023 Christmas Message

What was that? I've just seen what I think is the worst Christmas message given by a reigning British Monarch. I'll have to see it again, but just off the top of my head after having sat through this nonsense:

Charles hardly ever mentioned the Commonwealth (I think I heard it said once). 

Did he mention his own family? They're probably there, I'll review but if you blinked you missed it. [Upon review, he never mentions any of his children or grandchildren by name, but he says the word family a couple of times and shows pictures of them doing stuff.]

I heard the word conflict once, genocide seems to be something you don't talk about these days. 

When it comes to religion, bear in mind this is a Christian festival, honouring the birth of Jesus. What I've just witnessed is a pseudo Christian message spliced with woke, the new religion worshipping the Earth. In this woke world we can be better people from within ourselves, forget about the will of God.

Charles never mentions his own journey, and of his relationship with God. That, I think, is the biggest omission, is Charles even Christian?

He's got to go, this is no King.

Did Ukraine Lose and the Media Fail to Report It?

Speculation is mounting that Russia is now demanding the complete surrender of Ukraine. Russia won, and if Ukraine do not surrender, it will be completely destroyed.

This could all be bollocks, however the amount of activity by Russian forces along the frontline has ramped up in recent days, suggesting they are about to mount a big push. 

Remember, I called the invasion real and the time of it back in 2022, right when MSM were saying it wasn't going to happen. 

This is a really simple, if grisly equation:

1. The Ukraine ran out of young men before Russia ran out of young men;

2. Russia is militarised;

3. When it comes to equipment, form follows function, and everything Russian is designed for the task, while the western aid has come up short. NATO equipment is too fiddly, too techie, typical well engineered crap.

4. Russia can supply itself, whatever it wants, whenever it wants and the sanctions are an act of self harm on the part of NATO and its allies.

It'll be interesting to see how the US choose to spin this. Coming right after the loss in Afghanistan (which was the biggest ever loss by a Great Power since time began), this will be a massive fail. The world will no longer trust the US and NATO. 

https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/russian-special-flight-squadron-lands-in-dc-ukraine-war-to-end-russia-lays-out-terms-of-surrender

The terms given to Washington, DC for Ukraine are:

Complete Ukraine surrender.

Complete surrender of all military equipment.

Russian territory will range from Karkhov to Odessa, and gives Russia complete control of Black Sea coast.

Western Ukraine cannot join NATO, or have __any__ military aid.

Russia does not care who controls western Ukraine, and have openly offered it to Poland.

Christmas and the Birth of Jesus

Is December 25th the birthday of Jesus, or a date in September? The December date coincides, broadly speaking, with the Roman festival of Saturnalia. Many of the Christmas traditions are derived from Saturnalia.

The following video maintains that Jesus was born in September:

Detroit Pistons - Sell the Team

Who owns the NBA's Detroit Pistons? They could beat the single season worst run of losses. They sit on 25 straight losses right now, after going down 119-111 to the Utah Jazz. Two more losses and they're on their own as the worst losing run in history in a single season. And they're four losses away from setting the worst losing run in history when considering adjoining seasons.

C'mon, the Pistons have won titles, they're not perennial losers like the Clippers. The owner needs to sell up, he's clearly got no idea how to put together a winning team.

Excess Deaths

Life expectancy in the US has taken a sudden dive. Why?

Meat is Essential

Everyone in New Zealand knows this. The loony Greens know it, they just choose to lie.

Prince Harry's Win

It is a win folks, I read a lot of people saying it wasn't, but nah, he achieved a significant win.

I embed the below video as I think it is balanced. But, I'd add by saying that once you go down this road, there really is no going back. The press will now be after Prince Harry, they'll be predatory and he can no longer expect positive stories about him or his family. All these journalists know one another and work alongside each other, they marry one another and work for whoever pays them. It is like a tribe and only a few are in it. I suspect this is why the British Royal Family never, or very rarely sue. It becomes a downward spiral, when positive news is what is sought.

Cook Strait Connection

With the government refusing to fund the cost blowout of the proposed upgrade to the Cook Strait ferry service run by KiwiRail, is it time to revisit the idea of a Cook Strait tunnel?

I addressed the feasibility of such a project here: https://kenhorlor.blogspot.com/2016/01/cook-strait-tunnel.html

The government has turned down KiwiRail: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/504650/interislander-ferry-fleet-project-to-wind-down-after-being-denied-further-government-funding

New Zealand is a funny little country at times. It always chases the newest fad, and ditches the old quickly. Problem is, when the fad is no longer viable or is proven to be a dud, nothing is left to revert back to. This is what has happened to NZ's transport network. Rail and coastal shipping have been left to atrophy while the country got carried away with road and air transport. Now, the chickens are coming home to roost. NZ needs to think longer term, keeping all options available for a robust system. This is vital as the country has many rivers, and a long thin country made up of many islands. Keeping the country connected means juggling everything, not just relying on a few options.

2020 - What Happened?

New Zealand Ministry of Health Data Leak

Things are starting to unravel in New Zealand - finally. There has been a whistleblower leak data from the Ministry of Health, Te Whatu Ora that shows potential issues with regard the thing that was rolled out to deal with the other other thing from 2020.

The whistleblower has been arrested, charged and appeared in court. For those wanting to get the issues raised in court, now here's your chance. Just hope that the person charged doesn't plead guilty. 

The following is a link from X describing what is going on: https://twitter.com/JimFergusonUK/status/1731287721350439260?s=20

Elon Musk Being Elon Musk

I just wish Elon Musk would make a decent car and rockets that don't blow up. But on this I have to say, boycotts don't usually work, they make space for competitors instead.

(Elon Musk did appear to agree with a post on X that was clearly anti-Semitic)

Thomas Markle's Letter - Remember That?

The letter Thomas Markle Jr wrote to the British Royal Family is starting to look very accurate. Considered nasty at the time, it turns out he knew his half-sister rather well.
