British Media Gloating Betrays Masterminds Behind Kirillov’s Killing

The reveling by the British news media over the assassination of a top Russian general in Moscow is revealing in several ways.

The reveling by the British news media over the assassination of a top Russian general in Moscow is revealing in several ways.

First of all, it is a sickening display of wretched so-called journalism. The celebratory tone in British media outlets at the sight of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov’s bloodied corpse lying in the snow speaks volumes of a despicable lack of respect. It says something about the depraved depth of British culture.

By comparison, the reporting of the assassination by American media outlets was relatively mundane and matter-of-fact.

Not so in Britain. The British media were almost euphoric in their reaction.

The Pentagon’s response was significant. Spokesman Patrick Ryder denied any U.S. involvement in the killing. He said the Americans were not forewarned about the assassination and he added that the United States did not support such action.

Of course, such denials should always be treated with skepticism.

However, while the Americans had the decency to remain reserved, the British were giddy in their ghoulishness.

The London Times editorial board declared that Lt Gen. Kirillov was a “legitimate target” for assassination.

The Daily Telegraph ran an oped piece by Hamish de Bretton-Gordon with the headline: “Putin’s chemical weapons henchman Kirillov was a truly evil man. He deserved to die.”

Meanwhile, the BBC blithely used the Foreign Office’s description of Kirillov as a “notorious mouthpiece for Kremlin disinformation” to convey an implicit justification for murder.

Over at the Guardian, their Russophobic reporter, Luke Harding, abandoned all pretense of journalistic standards by glorifying Ukraine’s military intelligence service (SBU) for its “success,” adding: “The agency has cemented its reputation as an outfit that administers its own form of brutal extrajudicial justice. It is an abrupt and swift form of vengeance, delivered as if from the heavens.”

Leftist Officials Move To Delay British Elections As Their Approval Ratings Collapse

One of the most revealing narratives that surfaced during the 2024 US election campaign was the argument from establishment journalists that the Constitution and the voting system might be allowing “too much freedom” for the general public.  How can this be true?  Progressive activists claim that voter choice can be manipulated by abuses of free speech (disinformation) and that without controls on that speech the Constitution essentially has a built in self destruct mechanism.

Outlets like the New York Times made these arguments specifically in reference to the presidential bid of Donald Trump.  Trump, leftists assert, represents the rise of “far-right fascism” in America and the normal rules of the democratic process no longer apply.  They argue that he must be stopped at all costs.  

One could dismiss all this rhetoric as the coping and seething of sore losers, but it goes well beyond that.  

The self destructing democracy theory would be interesting, except that it’s driven completely by the arrogance, elitism and biases of political leftists hellbent on keeping power for themselves.  When a group of people believes that they represent the totality of the “greater good” and that their ideas should never be questioned or challenged because to do so is akin to heresy, that’s what we call zealotry.  This is exactly what progressives have become – So much so that across the western world they have deemed themselves righteous enough to delay or sabotage the election process.

As the madness of “Net Zero” accelerates, time has already run out for many of UK’s most vulnerable citizens

Not long ago, the UK’s Office for National Statistics (“ONS”) asked an interesting question: how has climate change affected the number of people who die from temperature-related effects in the UK?1

Their analysis opened with helpful speculation on scientific topics outside their area of competence: “Climate change is a substantial threat to human health in the UK…Heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, floods and severe storms – accepted to be linked to climate change – have increased globally in recent years. The Met Office found that the period 1991 to 2020 was 0.9 degrees Celsius warmer than the 1961 to 1990 average, while the 10 warmest years recorded occurred since 2002…Mental health is a growing concern linked to climate change.”

Of course, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”) have found no such link between human activities and the supposed climate threats they list2, the majority of Met Office weather stations from which the “10 warmest years” claim originate are discovered to produce “junk” and “super junk” data under international quality classification criteria3, and the mental health crisis is the consequence of institutions like the ONS peddling scientifically illiterate climate misinformation.

The results were horrifying – for climate catastrophists.

We found relatively little increase in deaths caused by warmer weather and a reduction in deaths caused by cold winters, leading to a net decrease in deaths.

Over the period 2001-2020, which was about 0.9 degrees Celsius warmer than the 1961 to 1990, 555,094 fewer people died from temperature effects.

Bank of England announces it will keep the names of non-bank financial institutions it bails out a secret

On Monday, the Bank of England announced it will hide the identities of any pension funds, insurers or hedge funds bailed out to avoid the stigma.  This new policy of secrecy to protect banks’ identity will begin in 2025 when the central bank launches its Contingent NBFI Repo Facility.

Also in 2025, the final parts of Basel III will be implemented.  Basel III introduces bail-ins, where account holders rather than the government bail out a failing bank.

But that’s not all. In the “second half of this decade,” i.e. any time from 2025, is “the earliest” the Bank of England would issue a central bank digital currency.

In the past, wars and oil embargoes have been used to justify implementing new global financial systems.  Could we be seeing signs they are preparing for a crisis that they won’t let go to waste?

WWIII Warning! UK Military Head Says We’re In “A Third Nuclear Age”

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the most senior officer in the British Armed Forces, warned the world this week that humanity has entered a “third nuclear age” where the threat of an all-out thermonuclear war is more possible than ever before.

Speaking to the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI) think tank on Wednesday, Radakin discussed the current state of England’s nuclear security.

“The security outlook is more contested, more ambiguous and more dangerous than we have known in our careers,” he stated, telling members of RUSI that “a third nuclear age is upon us.”

Radakin, who currently serves as the UK’s Chief of the Defence Staff, described the Cold War as the “first nuclear age” that was allegedly managed by leaders with “the logic of deterrence.”

The “second nuclear age” came in the 1990s when “nuclear non-proliferation” contributed to a safer world, according to the UK admiral.

He then blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for the current nuclear age, saying, “From Russia we have seen wild threats of tactical nuclear use, large scale nuclear exercises and simulated attacks against NATO countries, all designed to coerce us from taking the action required to maintain stability… Putin believes in a historic fiction.”

However, Radakin suggested Russia would likely not launch a direct attack on the UK because the NATO retaliation would be “overwhelming.”

Mystery craft seen swarming over secretive UK airbases feared to have ‘sinister motive’

An expert has described the latest wave of drone activity over NATO‘s nuclear airbases in the UK as “particularly sinister.”

Over the past year, US military airbases have been plagued by several incursions from mysterious unidentified craft. Starting with a swarm of mysterious drone-like objects over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia over Christmas 2023, the spate of bizarre drone intrusions has reached a peak this month, with dozens of sightings over bases both in the US and here in the UK.

The UFO community has been running wild with speculation about extraterrestrial visitors, focusing on the fact that many of the military sites targeted store nuclear weapons. But there’s a much more plausible – and much more worrying – explanation. That’s according to Professor David Dunn, a lecturer in political since and international studies at the University of Birmingham.

He says that the most likely cause of this rash of UAP sightings is drones being flown by operatives of some hostile power who are attempting to demonstrate the vulnerability of NATO bases, as well as to intimidate service personnel working there.

Speaking to science filmmaker Simon Holland about the nightly flights over NATO bases, he said: “It’s disruptive first of all it’s demonstrating and signalling vulnerability and capability and it’s also about preparation and signalling that preparation. In particular, he says, the drones are not only hovering over aircraft on the ground at these bases, they’ve also being seen lurking near servicemen’s married quarters at bases such as Kirkwall.

He added: “This is not just one or two drones like in Gatwick airport a few years ago. This is a coordinated incursion by a whole variety of different drones that are clearly part of a plan by a sophisticated actor.”

Arla’s Bovaer food additive is not food, it is a drug

The UK Food Standards Agency is insisting Bovaer is “safe.”  A spokesman told MailOnline: “Milk from cows given Bovaer, a feed additive used to reduce methane emissions, is safe to drink.”

On Monday, The Standard said,  “On 26 November, Arla announced a new project that it hopes will cut the UK’s methane emissions.  Methane is a greenhouse gas and contributes to climate change … The initiative is part of Arla’s wider commitment to reduce the environmental impact of its dairy production. The organisation is aiming to reduce its CO2 emissions by 30 per cent by 2030.”

Using the excuse “to reduce methane emissions” and “CO2 emissions” and then tying it to Agenda 2030’s deadline of 2030, should raise an immediate red flag to anyone who has done even a little research in the last few years. 

There is no anthropogenic climate change crisis, and, as we mentioned in our article last week, methane is an important part of the biogenic carbon cycle.  As we all know from primary school lessons, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the elixir of life, supporting plants since the world began and making virtually all life on Earth possible.

The whole false anthropogenic climate change narrative should have disintegrated in 2009 when the Climategate emails were released.  But such is the determination, and money, of those who want to keep the UN’s agenda alive.

British farmers to protest again over increasing burden of government’s anti-farming policy on agriculture

Last month a convoy of tractors rolled through Dover and thousands of farmers gathered in London to protest against changes to inheritance tax rules as announced in the Labour government’s recent Budget.

The protests were sparked by the proposed 20% inheritance tax on farm assets worth £1 million or more, set to take effect from April 2026.

British farmers argue that the policy, combined with the fast-track withdrawal of the Basic Payment Scheme, increasing farm employer costs and a carbon tax on fertiliser, among other policies, could force families to sell land to cover tax bills, breaking up livelihoods and generations of UK farming businesses, Farmers Weekly reported.

There are also worries within the industry over the impact of future trade deals, substandard food imports and the recent removal of farming grants.

The potential introduction of chlorinated chicken and hormone-fed beef from the US undermines the UK’s high food standards and is a major concern for farmers.  The government’s decision to remove or stop farming grants and funding for promoting British food abroad has added to the industry’s woes.

“There’s a decision about an American trade deal, which is a massive problem for British farming. It is unsurvivable. We’re back looking at the horror of chlorinated chicken and hormone-fed beef. 

“Obviously, the inheritance tax is another assault on farming.

“What is more, the government has removed or stopped a lot of the farming grants and pulled the funding for promoting British food abroad.  What we’re seeing is a real aggressive move from this government to end British farming,” founder of Save British Farming, Liz Webster, said.

Muhammad is The Most Popular Name For Boys in England & Wales

Exemplifying demographic changes taking place due to mass migration, the most popular name for boys in England and Wales last year was Muhammad.

The Arabic name, which is shared with the Prophet Muhammad, overtook Noah to become the most popular name for boys in 2023.

Although it is being reported that this is the first time Muhammad has topped the charts, it would have actually come in at number one in multiple previous years had all the different spellings of the name been combined.

“In 2023 there were 4,661 Muhammads born across England and Wales, up from 4,177 in 2022,” reports the Telegraph.

“In contrast, only 4,382 Noahs were born in 2023, down from 4,586 the previous year.”

Podcaster in UK Faces Prison For Saying “Young White Girls Are Being Raped by These Grooming Gangs”

A podcaster in the UK faces potential prison time after being charged for making “grossly offensive comments” in a YouTube video in which he stated, “Young white girls are being raped by these grooming gangs.”

Yes, really.

Carlisle Crown Court heard that 41-year-old Derek Heggie made the comments in two YouTube videos in early August during the rioting and unrest that took place across numerous cities in the aftermath of the Southport murders.

Heggie had been set to stand trial on a charge under the Malicious Communications Act, but instead “pleaded guilty to sending communication of an offensive nature.”

Prosecutors said Heggie’s comments were “particularly inflammatory” in the context of the riots and he is still being remanded in custody as he awaits sentencing later this month.
