Propaganda Effect

Bad News, History

This was a letter sent to the Daily Mail:

I feel my whole world has turned into a dystopian nightmare. What prompted me to write was that video made by Dawn French. She put on a babyish, whiny voice to mock the agony Jewish people are going through, and reduced the horrors of October 7, 2023 to ‘a bad thing’.

It was so awful it actually made me cry.

Every day I see celebrities such as Benedict Cumberbatch signing letters of protest saying Israel has no right to defend itself – and, honestly, it’s intolerable. Do they all hate Jews so much?

All sense of security in my life has disappeared. Who I once was has gone. This is being a British Jew today in the UK.

My mother’s family goes back five generations in England and I am a typical Yorkshire lass – and Jewish. Now I feel like a stranger in the only country I’ve ever known. Just because of my DNA.

Old friends start to withdraw, get too busy to see you or just ghost you. Other friends, in all industries, are losing contracts, not been hired, ignored by workmates, abused on social media.

You switch on news reports you know (first-hand) are at best biased and at worse false. Politicians such as David Lammy and many Labour backbenchers clearly hate Israel – which is the Holy land of the Bible and the Torah. Everywhere we Jews are lied about and (even worse) narratives are changed to fit centuries-old lies.

I have a friend who is a secondary school teacher. After October 7 she endured daily racial slurs by her students. Her union and the administration didn’t support her, so she felt she had no choice but to leave her job.

I know of two people whose clients have left them as they ‘can’t work with someone who supports that country’. Israel, the elephant in the room for all Jews. Whether we feel connected or not, wherever we live, we are all judged by that.

Worldwide, Jews like me are now realising just how the Holocaust happened. A constant drip of misinformation and prejudice set the groundwork for Kristallnacht and the camps. I still cannot believe that this is happening to us – to me – as British as Les Dawson and Yorkshire pudding. But it is.

Jewish friends constantly discuss where they will go when they have to leave Britain. Where would we be safe? This in 2025 in the UK. I am so afraid, depressed, let down, stateless and terrified for the future – especially for my teenage child.

“Jews like me are now realising just how the Holocaust happened.”

Says it all, really.  What was once pretty much a “German” or even “European” thing is now international.

As for me:  anger does not begin to describe how I feel about all this.  And I’m not Jewish.  All I can say is what I’ve always said:

If you come for the Jews, you have to get past me first.

Added:  you motherfuckers.

And by the way:  don’t bother telling me that your beef isn’t with Jews, but with Israel.  That little bit of maskirovka  doesn’t work any more.

News Roundup

Bad News

There’s no time for self-pleasuring or any of that nonsense, darling;  it’s
time.


...keyword:  “if”.  And “if” I win the lottery, there will be a huge increase in the number of “climate scientists” murdered by contract killers.


...I’m so old, I thought that the Nimbus was a broom model used by witches and wizards to avoid traffic jams.


...ahem:

But enough panic.  Let’s get busy with the important stuff, like Sex News.


...in the good old mid-20th century days, this was known as “Kraft durch Freude”.

In :


...a.k.a. stopping the Global Cooling Climate Warming Change© insanity from screwing up an entire state.

From the Dept. of Tourism:


...as had the Titanic.

In our new Riots & Mayhem Dept.:


...pity the fools.  My only problem is that the TexGov has pre-emptively mobilized the Guard, thus depriving me of some potential sporting activity.


...that bad apple hasn’t fallen far from the poisonous tree, huh?


...wait a minute:  how can the rioting / burning cars thing be happening in Britishland, too?  They’re not deporting anyone.


...that’s because the Irish Gummint isn’t deporting anyone either.

And in Global Jew-Hate News:


...took them long enough.  Even Egypt recognizes that the MuBros are a bunch of filthy terrorists.

And in an opposite move:


...too bad all those old Nazi refugees are long dead, because it would have been so much fun to watch their anti-Semitic asses do an Eichmann at the end of a rope.


…

From the Education Dept.:


...and apparently the bonkee is “depressed and lacking self-worth” as a result of her counseling.  JHC, what a precious little snowflake.

Once more down :

...because one week, you’re in — and the next week, you’re out:


...in-out-in-out:  I have no idea what that means, except that she’s not bad for a semi-centenarian.

Which makes it a good time to end this silliness.

Endless Capitalist Fun

Entertainment

I’ve had quite a lot of fun with the Monopoly board game on this here website over the years.  In case you’re new to this back porch, or your brain is as old-fartish as mine, see here for an explanation of Poor Man’s Monopoly, here for Feministical Monopoly, here for some updated Chance / Commmunity Chest cards, and of course we have our old favorite, Black Monopoly:

Now we have this kind of Monopoly:

Going back to the original Monopoly for a moment, we now discover this seldom-exercised yet official rule:

“Whenever a player lands on an un-owned [vacant] property he may buy that property from the Bank at its printed price. If he does not wish to buy the property it is sold at auction by the Banker to the highest bidder.”

I’m interested in the terminology “…it is sold at auction” — it doesn’t say “can be sold”.

Does this mean that the auction is mandatory?

I invite the Powdered Wigsters among my Readers to debate the jots and tittles, in Comments.

Smart Move

Culture, Health, Immigration

To many people, this little move would be astonishing, nay even incredible:

France will ban smoking in all outdoor spaces frequented by children, including beaches, parks and bus stops, the country’s health minister said.

The restrictions will involve creating a perimeter outside schools where members of the public will not be able to smoke a cigarette.

“Tobacco must disappear where there are children,” Catherine Vautrin, the health minister, said in an interview with the Ouest-France newspaper.

The freedom to smoke “stops where children’s right to breathe clean air starts”, she said.

The ban on smoking outdoors will come into force on July 1.

As one of many who has had to endure the clouds of smoke from the Gitanes/Gauloises that form a permanent fixture of any French establishment, I first asked myself:  The French?  Of all people, the French?

It’s like asking them to have only one kind of cheese, or banning wine.  C’est incroyable!

But they’re sneaky, the Frogs, as any old doughboy or G.I. will tell you.  Note this little wrinkle:

Café terraces will be excluded from the ban.

So that lifestyle choice — essentially, involving most of the places outside the home where Frogs would be found smoking — can carry on as before.

It’s the “outdoor spaces frequented by children” that’s the kicker.

If anyone loves them a good strong cigarette more than the French, it’s the… Arabs.  And where there are Arabs, you’ll always find hordes of screaming ill-behaved… children.

If you put those two facts together:  I think that this smoking ban is a subversive move to get Arabs to leave France in disgust.
