HARBINGER

Lockdown commenced on March 23  , June 30th marked Day 100. Today July 20th is Day 120. Peter Hitchens , In Proportion and dozens more have taken on the heaviest of burdens ans Social Media is still a shifting battle field on Covid-19 - the pandemic that never was... it would have been futile for me to have ( with no access to a PC - I'm Public Library dependent) to have attempted to blog throughout this period.Most importantly I have re-allocated my strategic blogging fully onto twitter @louiskasatkin . After one solid year of blogging on getting Brexit done,the whole Coronavirus Medieval Superstition craze was one topic too far. THIS BLOG " Harbinger" is now ARCHIVED. It remains fully accessible.

During this inprecedented time of incipient hysteria and general state/elitist led panic,it's worthwhile for one's sanity's sake to seek out what the vouces of readon and common sense are saying on this issue. Peter Hitchens,Laura Perrins,Ron Paul and Matt Walsh are the ones I follow across social media.There are many more;find them and read what they have to say whilst you're still allowed to and can.

This is seriously pissing me off. The wholesale reintroduction of popular and populist superstition ,the cretinous depths of which would've embarrassed the thickest Medieval peasants imaginable. And yet here we are 21st.Century industrialised advanced democracies wallowing in a ruling metropolitan elitist contrived wave of existential panic that comes straight from the script of " The Crucible " . Quasi-martial law restrictions of civil and human rights have already been implemented or are about to be in countries across Europe.Germany,Italy and Spain of course are getting out and dusting off their tried and trusted totalitarian playbooks from the 1930's. Nothing reassures their citizenries more than the comforting echo of jackboots parading in front of the Reichstag. If CoronaVirus were only a revolutionary political movement then global corporate capitalism would actually have something better to replace it almost overnight. All of a sudden thrusting,dynamic c...

The global corporate finance-capitalist system and great swathes of its social superstructure appear to be undergoing some kind of existential crisis at the moment. The culprit is a new type of virus ,Covid-19 aka Coronavirus. And it has set the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons. Millions of once supposedly educated and sophisticated citizens of late industrial 21st century society have succumbed to the kinds of rumour and superstition that even  medieval peasants would've been ashamed to have been taken in by. Stock markets are taking a battering with mendacious financial-capitalist speculators and chancers doing what they do best ;making money out of a perceived "crisis". And the global market price of oil has plummeted to around $30 a barrel. None of this is sustainable over any length of time. People are not falling like flies to Covid-19 and yet major ,especially western governments are ramping up their rhetoric that seem to ineluctably point towards immin...

It's deja Vu all over again! as one footie commentator famously once said. It wasn't so long ago that Russia,Turkey and Iran had arrived at a realpolitik  accommodation over the Syria imbroglio. A workable  modus vivendi that isolated the US and its militarily rapacious NATO satrapies from inflicting further chaos and carnage on an already near-cataclysmically volatile area. It remains a matter of fact in international law that the Assad government ensconsed in Damascus is the internationally recognised legitimate government of Syria.The forces of Russia and Iran and its clients are assisting Assad to restore its territorial integrity and sovereignty. All other countries and their armed forces (covert and otherwise ) on Syrian territory are in gross violation of all precepts norms and rules of International Law.They are de facto committing war crimes. That's the US and all its NATO allies even including Erdogan's Turkey who are on their own idiosyncratic mission ...

On April 4th, the Labour Party will have a new leader. Starmer, Nandy or Long-Bailey. The smart money is on Keir Starmer -chief Remainer,who has promised to campaign for the reintroduction of the EU's freedom of movement for labour. Given that to all intents and purposes Johnson's government has already pre-capitulated to the corporate globalists' agenda, Starmer's quixotic utterances on the issue are wholly inconsequential. The substantive debate among the leadership contenders has been on the conjoined areas of gender and identity politics. Whereas once upon a Class analysis of society time,Labour would address unemployment and poverty they are now consumed by men claiming to be women ,the "rights" of individuals to indulge in whatever sexual practices that they wish to and demand full public respect from the rest of society for doing so;  ad infinitum .  And on this egregious and wholly otiose basis some 600,000 individual party members will have th...

Labour MP sends Twitter into meltdown over comments babies are born 'without sex' LABOUR MP Dawn Butler received a furious backlash on Twitter after she claimed "a child is born without sex" during a heated exchange with Richard Madeley on Good Morning Britain. By  SVAR NANAN-SEN PUBLISHED:  08:15, Tue, Feb 18, 2020  | UPDATED: 09:00, Tue, Feb 18, 2020                     Ms Butler clashed with Mr Madeley over their definitions of transgender. The ITV  Good Morning Britain host stated that when a child is born "they are identified and observed in a particular way." The Labour Party politician hit back saying "a child is born without sex." I don't post blogs much as I used to and particularly so in the wake of the triumph,somewhat delayed of Brexit from the the shackles of the EU tyranny. Three and a half years of railing against the EU funded seditionist procrastination and the attendant Sor...

There comes a time in the affairs of nations when the past ought to be put behind them.History was ever thus;if it were otherwise then we in the UK  would be stranded in a perpetual imbroglio of recurring grievances and hatreds. Which of course certain areas such as the Balkans or the Middle east are and are not likely to emerge from them merely by the counting of years and decades as they pass. Were we something like them,then the offspring of the Roundheads and Royalists would still be embroiled in antipathies and conflicts related to their original struggles in the 1640s, which they are not. 72 hours ago,on Saturday 8 November,Ireland held its General Election and things will never be the same again. Sinn Fein irrevocably emerged as a major player in Dublin politics,one that will have important and lasting consequences for the future structure and coherence of the United Kingdom itself. The UK having gone through its own recent GE2019 in December still under the antiquate...

Donald J. Trump tweeted :- @realDonaldTrump Big WIN for us in Iowa tonight. Thank you! ………………………………………………………………………….. In the wake of an untimely and unforseeable(?) technical/administrative cock-up ,the commencement of the Democratic Party’s process to elect its candidate to challenge Donald Trump in November’s Presidential election,got off to a lamentably worse start than could ever have been contemplated. Media is everything and Social media is hegemonic;you look bad across its platforms and the stench lingers for a very long time afterward and becomes a kind of urban myth,a legend that is told and retold-where the cause of its initial telling becomes just one more source among many. Not that the Iowa Caucus or whichever candidate is announced as its winner truly matters. Donald J.trump will be re-elected President come November. Lies,lies and bigger lies wrapped up in a  paranoid conspiracy theory involving the government of Russ...

Thus spake  Guardian Online  : At the stroke of 11 p.m. on 31 January (midnight in Brussels), the UK ceases to be a member of the EU. The divorce is sealed. The only way back is an application to rejoin. The UK enters an 11-month transition period to allow time to negotiate a new relationship. That means staying in the EU single market, its customs union and paying into its budget.  A more significant moment could be 1 January 2021, the UK’s first day outside EU rules. Under the  Brexit withdrawal agreement,  that day could be delayed until 2022 or 2023, but  Johnson has ruled out any extension of the transition period . Postscript: 17.4 million British Voters altered the course of History on June 23 2016. Three and a  half years later,after the most virulently egregious political campaigning seen in Europe post-1945,the democratically expressed Will of the British electorate to Leave the EU shall come to pass. After all the vituperative l...

I tweeted that Davos 2020 was where the harbingers of the Antichrist are meeting ; or as more sober conformist sites would have it :- The  World Economic Forum  ( WEF ), based in Geneva is an NGO, founded in 1971. The WEF's mission is cited as "committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas". It is a membership-based organization, and membership is made up of the world's largest corporations. The WEF hosts an annual meeting at the end of January in Davos, a mountain resort in the eastern Alps region of Switzerland. The meeting brings together some 3,000 business leaders, international political leaders, economists, celebrities and journalists for up to five days to discuss global issues, across 500 public and private sessions. Soros funded media sensation Saint Greta The Afflicted of Thunberg is there - the show pony nonpareil of the Climate Eme...

My feelings toward the current Labour Party leadership farrago are the same as those I have toward the European Union. I hate,loathe and despise the European Union, ditto the Labour Party, and all that it stands for and does.  Keir Smarmer ,Rebecca Long Tall Sally,Clueless,Thornbush,Nando’s and Jessflips. Good luck with those;the rest of the lifeboats have got even bigger holes in them. I read journalist and commentator Peter Hitchens’ touching commentary in the  Mail on Sunday  making a rather compassionate case for the Labour Party somehow to be revived and restored somehow along the lines of what it once was perceived to be. Well bollox to all that .Labour and its  “sister ” parties all across the continent of Europe,including the German SPD, have for quite some years now been undergoing a kind of existential entropy. It’s History’s way of telling political ideologies,movements and parties that the Cosmos has moved on. Strangely enough when the post W...

We do indeed live in interesting times. And that's cold bloody comfort for the 99.999% of human society who are at best mere spectators of the events unfolding in the Middle Eastern imbroglio aka Iran /Iraq /Syria. Having brazenly violated recognised tenets of International Law as well as long held diplomatic norms and conventions, POTUS Trump as Commander-in-Chief threatened in the most egregiously graphic terms to annihilate Iranian cultural sites should the government in Tehran consider some of retaliatory action against the US for its assassination of General Soleimani. Even the most reliably docile and compliant lickspittle NATO lackeys of the US were moved to point out that Trump's apocalyptic threat,if enacted,would constitute a war crime. Trump and his coterie of war-mongering Neocon hawks -Pompeo et al blithely acknowledged this a couple of days later and muttered something about of course the'll be obeying international law on this matter. Meanwhile, ele...

There is no need for a disquisition on this matter.Brevity will suffice. On the third day of the beginning of a new decade,POTUS Donald Trump ordered the assassination of Iran's leading military Commander General Soleimani. The drone strike took place at Baghdad International airport in Iraq. You could argue that several ,what are considered inviolable,tenets of International Law were violated. One head of state ordering the killing of a prominent general of another state whilst they are not at war with one another, on the territory of a third state is indisputably gangsterism. Then again, the conservative Republican neocon faction and their liberal Democrat overseas interventionist counterparts in Washington DC are the very bedrock of US imperialist foreign and military policies.They are both the authors of chaos and the harbingers of cataclysm. The Rubicon has been crossed. The only scenario left to ponder is,when it will be deemed expedient to eliminate a Chinese or ...

And so it goes...this is my final blog of 2019. A year of consistent achievement,innovation and progress seen on my many fronts -some personal,some of wider significance.And at the centre of them all,Wakefield. Google #WakeyLit19 ,checkout all 3 of the articles published by Wakefield Express , go to the #WakeyLit19 facebook page. As a pioneering project on its first test run, it succeeded in proving that its underlying ethos and theory works. Mary Creagh back in May 2019 however wanted nothing to with it.This from her email to me :- "I must admit I felt some surprise when I received your email, given you have made several negative comments about me on Twitter and Facebook. I attach a couple of these but, as we know, there are many more. I hope you understand my apprehension about your request following your comments on social media. Using language like ‘traitor’ ‘shill’ and ‘paranoid delusions’ to attack me on a personal level makes it difficult for us to work together co...

This should be my final blog posting for 2019. If nothing else the year brought to mind the time worn adage,attributed to Karl Marx, that History repeats itself,first as a tragedy then as a farce. 2019 is drawing to a close with the US House of Representatives voting to have President Trump Impeached.The so-called impeachment trial will take place in the US Senate,who it seems from a party partisan perspective will in effect nullify the charges which the Democrat party controlled House of Representatives have passed against POTUS. The Democratic Party's insidious Long War to overturn the 2016 Presidential election result enters what are,its final stages. The malevolent,anti-populist campaign that sought unceasingly to slander,defame,denounce and vilify Trump's upset victory over the odds-on favourite,globalist,deep state warmonger champion Hilary Clinton has now gone on for so long that the constitutional electoral cycle is now prepping for the 2020 Presidential electio...

Well,that's one great big effing surprise if there ever was one!! A 70+ seats overall majority and Labour's worst result since 1935. Considering that my own best guesses were centred around a small Tory majority or essentially a hung parliament - you can never be too pessimistic when it comes to Election outcomes ;after all where would the overwhelming joy & mood of celebration be in the wake of a really great and unexpected triumph if  you had confidently predicted precisely that beforehand ? exactly; relief is part of joy,the thrill of the ride. There was also the added bonus,the doubleplusgood  frisson of Schadenfruede  :- # GeneralElection2019   # Wakefield   # MaryCreagh  It's carnage time at the twitter coliseum Steve McQueen announces "14 Years A Constituent" -follow-up to "12 Years A Slave".in which the ordinary folk of #Wakefield are liberated from their patronising metropolitan Labour Remoaner slave -vote owner #MaryCreagh in #Gener...

#YellowRose #NotinMyName  are the latest hashtags -the flotsam and jetsam of Soros' deep pockets to fan the flames of a EU orchestrated make-believe persecution complex about the supposed fate or otherwise of EU citizens working and sojourning within the borders of the UK.   For those who genuinely haven’t the foggiest notion as to how the world came to have such a thing as an ” EU citizen “,it maybe worth noting how this quasi-legal abortion came into existence. Via the 1992 Maastricht treaty as it happens. Which is :-   The  Maastricht Treaty  (formally, the  Treaty on European Union  or  TEU ) undertaken to integrate Europe was signed on 7 February 1992 by the members of the  European Community  in  Maastricht ,  Netherlands . [1]  On 9–10 December 1991, the same city hosted the  European Council   which drafted the treaty. [2]  Upon its entry into force on 1 November 1993 during the  Delor...

Yes indeed, things can go from bad to worse and from fraught situations to terribly fraught situations in the twinkling of an eye. With just over a week to go of the General Election 2019 aka GE2019, NATO held their Leaders'summit in London,the occasion also marked the organisation's 70th. anniversary of coming into existence. Supposedly predicated on the axiom of one for all and all for one,the truth is it hasn't been doing a terribly good job at even maintaining some sort of superficial yet agreeable pretence that the rule of law or some such ludicrous notion actually operates within NATO. The US and Turkey's machiavellian machinations in the Syria imbroglio is the prime case in point.France's President Macron reiterated with the typical verbal elan oft ascribed to his countrymen,that NATO must be brain dead and that what Turkey was doing in Syria vis a vis the Kurds was not acceptable. US President Trump on the contrary demurred in his customary,erm,style...

Thankfully this is the fifth and final blog post of mine in November on the topic of the General Election . It really is turning out to be as ineluctably otiose as I'd predicted and feared that it might be. Amongst the most prominent of hashtags on twitter this morning for example are :- #bbcimpartiality and #labourlies. And that about sums up the state of play in this more than usually cantankerous campaign. GE 2019 is managing to be even more intellectually indolent than the voters' accustomed expectations of yawning vacuity and cant from all the parties. No policy statement ,issue of genuine public concern or aspiration for the future has escaped being drowned in the deluge of partisan hyperbole and misdirected drivel, the speakers of which were hoping to make sound something akin to statesman-like rhetoric of great import.Which of course none of it is. It's way past time that the entire process underwent a Bonfire of the Shibboleths.
