Keeping It Simple
A couple of things that caught my eye. First, à propos further revelations re "Russiagate" from the Durrrrrrrrrrrham Report - actually, from the Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrham Annex - Michael Ledwith thinks it confirms something called "the Steyn Rule" that I apparently articulated a bazillion years ago:
One of the lessons learned by the Clintons back in the Nineties is that, if you're gonna have a scandal, have a hundred of 'em. And then it's all too complicated and just gives everyone a big headache, and they go back to watching 'Friends' or 'Baywatch' or whatever it was back then...
Well, early Clinton scandals were certainly "complicated" - something to do with vacation properties and cattle futures and a savings-and-loan collapse and Travelgate perjury ...and that's all years before Monica first dropped to the broadloom.
So yes, there was a lot to stay on top of. But, with due respect to Mr Ledwith, I don't think the phony-baloney Russia investigation is in that sense Clintonian.
As I wrote over seven years ago: The investigation into foreign interference with the 2016 election was created as a cover for domestic interference with the 2016 election. That's it; that's the whole enchilada.
And everything that has emerged since fits into that summation.
In the Clinton scandals, individuals who crossed them had an unfortunate habit of dying prematurely in unusual ways, like being hit by a train on an abandoned rail track on which no locomotive had run for years.
Again: odd, but complicated. Whereas, as a consequence of America's corrupt "Intelligence Community" subordinating state-to-state relations with a nuclear power and a member of the UN P5 to the Democrats' political needs, thousands of people die every week.
So we are way beyond the usual impenetrable Beltway bollocks.
In a civilised society, John Brennan & Co would be dangling from gibbets, but at the very minimum it is necessary for someone with a CNN contract and a book deal to go to prison. Otherwise they will do it again - say, in November 2028.
The simplification of everything is something of a worldwide phenomenon.
The invaluable Dr Clare Craig, a great friend of the Steyn Show, thinks we're living in Oppositeworld: Boris "the libertarian" took away our liberty. Rishi "the fiscal conservative" spent all the money. Keir "the human rights lawyer" removed our human rights...
Wherever you live in the west, it would not be hard to find your local equivalents.
In pursuit of his own ambition, Johnson did more than any of the other crap transient prime ministers of the last decade-and-a-half to destroy Britain.
He was "libertarian" only with respect to his penis - and certainly not with respect to any other man or woman's penis: it was his ministry that under Covid restricted the right of residents of Zones C to E to engage in congress with residents of Zone A or B.
Yet, despite the wreckage piled up by his feckless premiership, sixty per cent of Tory voters remain rogered senseless. Likewise, Keir Starmer's commitment to "human rights" does not extend much further than the human right of fetching Ukrainian twinks to move to the UK and work for escort agencies that specialise in the more fashionable parts of North London.
But I would like to simplify things a little more.
I forget whether it was my former colleague Neil Oliver or his missus who first advanced the proposition that whatever is happening is happening because they want it to happen. Or to put it another way: The consequence is the intended consequence.
This story caught my eye because, although it is many decades since I have lived in the United Kingdom, in the days when I did, Warwickshire was one of the two counties in the English interior that I knew best.
It has changed somewhat:
A Afghan asylum seeker rape case highlights police deception
Anger is growing over a 'cover-up' after two Afghan asylum seekers were charged with the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl, but police advised authorities not to reveal their background.
Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, was charged with the rape of the girl in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. While a second man, Mohammad Kabir, also 23, was charged with aiding and abetting rape, as well as strangulation and kidnap of the girl...
The girl is now receiving specialist care.
"Specialist care"? Is that specialists in being raped by blokes called Ahmad and Mohammad?
Good to know they're not like every other specialist in the NHS, where it takes eight months to get an appointment.
But just in case you needed confirmation that the British constabulary have chosen a side, and it is not your side...
Sources told the Daily Mail on Sunday that Warwickshire Police advised local councillors and officials not to reveal the asylum seeker background of the two suspects, for fear of 'inflaming community tensions.'
The Neil Oliver rule
In my day, Warwickshire Constabulary were certainly Brit Wanker Coppers, but they did not regard their priority as lying to the public in support of the Official Narrative.
So:
- The Government imports sex predators every night of the week, and then settles them at public expense deep in the interior - overwhelmingly in England, but with enough in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to underline that there's nowhere to hide;
- If you're the parents of a twelve-year-old girl seeking to assess the likelihood of your daughter being able to walk to the shop to buy a Mars Bar and return home in one piece, the corrupt and evil police will deny you the knowledge to make that assessment.
I mean, it's not as if this isn't happening every single day now:
The refugee billionaire
Morgan McSweeney, "Chief of Staff" to Keir Starmer and the sort of backroom boy the court has always loved, is now making a pretty penny off the asylum seeker crisis.
He's getting paid for facilitating the importation of sex predators.
The police crack down on protest
The large protest of brave mothers outside of the Britannia hotel in Canary Wharf, are now sat on the pavement and road chanting "stop the boats!"
Absolutely agree with them.
Government(s) have let women and girls down.
A new week begins
It is interesting to see the dominance of the English flag - the Red Cross of St George - in the above footage rather than the Union Jack.
It's almost as if the citizenry are beginning to discern that Britishness is a supra-national identity that, applied as it currently is, has provided a useful cover for the English people's dispossession in their own homeland.
By the way, the video of the arriving "refugees" and the women's protest have been so effective that the dirty stinkin' rotten corrupt Metropolitan Police have invoked emergency powers to prevent it happening again.
Outrageous.
The police have now allegedly enacted Section 42A, which bans protestors from demonstrating outside the Britannia hotel for 28 days.
Women peacefully protesting is causing "distress" to men in the hotel.
Antisemites and Islamists in London every week is fine.
So one can see why it would cause "distress" to Ahmed and Mohammed glancing out the window from their penthouse suite.
Presumably denying ladies the right to protest is now one of those "British values" the depraved political class is always boring on about.
This is happening because the people in charge want it to happen.
Precisely why they want it to happen is a subtler question we shall address in the days ahead.
