Trump Declares Wants to Liberate Britain – Loony Quislings Cheer

The slavish devotion the Reform-supporting far right have to Donald Trump has been amply demonstrated by a video on YouTube of a pro-Trump demonstration in London. The Orange Generalissimo, or at least, one of his leading minions, had announced online that Trump would like to liberate us poor Brits from the evil tyrannical rule of Kweer Harmer, the Kiddie Starver. Now I admit that I should be very happy indeed if Starmer and his cabinet of Thatcherite deplorables – Angela Rayner, Wes Streeting, Jess Philips, Rachel Reeves, Liz Kendall and the whole damned lot bag and baggage out of No. 10, out of parliament and into such lucrative and well-paid jobs as flipping burgers for a pittance, like the ordinary working people they despise. But I definitely don’t want Great Britain and its awesome people(s) to be ruled by Trump in a transatlantic Fascist dictatorship.

Trump’s support seems to me comes chiefly from his position on immigration and his socially conservative stance against ‘wokeness’. His supporters like his crackdown on illegal immigration and the mass deportations of illegal immigrants, and would like the same policy over here, implemented by his mini-me and wannabe viceroy, Nigel Farage. They love the attack on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and the clampdown on the Pride and trans movements. Government departments have been ordered to take down Pride flags and Trump has signed an executive order declaring that there are only two genders. It’s fair to say that all this would also enjoy considerable support in this country, especially in constituencies inhabited by the left-behind and minoritised White working class.

But Trump isn’t for them. He’s for the already bloated mega-rich, for whom he intends to give even more tax cuts, paid for by more cuts to public services, America’s welfare state and further assaults on the rights, wages and working conditions of hard-working, middle class Americans. A little while ago Kyle Kulinski of the excellent YouTube channel Secular Talk itemised all the cuts and assaults Trump’s government had made on ordinary working people. It was a list as long as your arm, and included the tens if not hundreds of thousands who had been thrown off Medicaid and, thanks to his reforms, could no longer afford their medical insurance. According to Bernie Sanders, the President America needed but didn’t get, 40,000 people die in America every year because they can’t afford their medical care.

Trump’s supporters also seem to regard him as someone kind of pillar of democracy, contrasting him with Starmer and Yvette Cooper who do seem to be concerned to impose even more restrictions on free speech. Those two are authoritarians to be sure. Starmer wants to be able to peek into the bank accounts of welfare claimants, while Cooper walked into Apple’s British headquarters wanting to be given the keys to their customers’ encrypted information. She was politely shown the door. And Trump’s courtiers have pointed to the imprisonment of people like Tommy Robinson and those who went online to praise or inflame the race riots against Muslims and asylum seekers after the Southport murders. This reached ludicrous proportions last week when Trump’s matey, J.D. Vance, went on about it online and, when questioned about it by a journalist, declared there were more political prisoners in Britain than in Putin’s Russia. You have to wonder what planet he’s on, because it sounds like he’s been using the pharmaceutical products featured in such recherche magazines as High Times and Weed World.

And whatever else The Donald is, he’s definitely not a democrat. Not when he’s said he’d like to rule like Hitler, with everyone in the government agreeing with him and that he’d send in the armed forces against peaceful protesters.

From what I’ve seen on YouTube, Americans are already starting to go off Trump now that his economic policies are beginning to bite. People like an IRS worker who apparently voted for him, only to be laid off as part of Trump’s push to slim down the government. This has also led to massive incompetence in other departments, such as the lay off and then rehiring of 23 workers on nuclear missiles. Getting rid of such specialised workers maintaining such immensely powerful weapons is suicidally dangerous. A moment’s thought is all you need to realise that if these weapons aren’t properly maintained, they could go off in cataclysmic explosions. For one thing, nuclear bombs have to be kept at a certain distance from each other in case the radiation emitted from one sets off its neighbours. There was a scare in Pakistan in the ’90s when inspectors came to see how their nuclear arsenal was stored, and was alarmed to find that they had been placed dangerously too close together. Biden got criticism and ridicule for hiring as his nuclear disposal expert a non-binary identifying man, who frequently appeared in dresses and was arrested for stealing women’s luggage at airports. But however bizarre this guy’s behaviour and sexual identity was, at least they knew all about the safe storage of nuclear material.

I doubt very many of the buffoons cheering Trump today would really like to live under his rule, or that of Gauleiter Farage. Not if they got laid off or their business failed, and they suddenly found that the welfare state, which they’d been told just supported idlers and scroungers, wasn’t there to support them. Because in the eyes of Trump and the state, they were the idlers and scroungers. Or if they got sick and suddenly found they had to pay for their medical treatment. And it’s not cheap. A friend of mine used to be a pharmacist. She told me that even a packet of cough sweets of the kind you can only presumably get on prescription can set you back £50.

But the Quisling right screaming for Farage and Trump either don’t realise this, or don’t think it’ll happen to them.

There can only be one message:

No to Trump.

No to Farage.

No to NHS privatisation and the destruction of the welfare state.

Stop the War Coalition on the Munich Security Conference, the March Planned for Today and the Trial of Chris Nineham

I got this yesterday, so apologies as it’s a bit belated.

‘Newsletter – 14/02/25

As the Munich Security Conference gets underway Trump, and his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have made clear their intension to rip up the Atlantic alliance and end the pretence that the US is committed to any ‘rules-based’ order.

European leaders find the US is no longer primarily focused on European security. Rather its focus is further east, to the Pacific region and China.

Although Trump presents himself as man of peace, and he may indeed bring an end to the Ukraine war, his actions in the Middle East have shown peace is not his real goal. What we are witnessing is a realignment of imperialism as we move from a unipolar to a multipolar world, and an America First desire to shift the cost of policing the world on to its allies – hence Trump’s demand the EU increase military spending to 5% of GDP.

Here in the UK we must resist our government’s appeasement of Trump and copycat tactics towards refugees and migrants, we must push back against increased defence spending and Europe’s desire to keep the Ukraine war going, and we must stand up to Trump’s plans for Gaza, and Starmer and Lammy’s unconscionable support for Israel, as the ceasefire hangs by a thread.

This is why tomorrow, Saturday 15 Feb, we march to the US embassy.

Trump says the US will ‘take over’ Gaza to build the ‘Riviera of the Middle East’. His ethnic cleansing plan is a crime against humanity. His comments this week have emboldened Netanyahu, and all indications are that the ceasefire will breakdown at any moment – Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to resume the bombing and US president Donald Trump declared ‘let all hell break loose’.

Meanwhile Israel continues to terrorise Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank, and this week conducted a raid on the Educational Bookshop in Jerusalem, attacking the cultural and intellectual hub of the Palestinian people. 

This is why we march on Saturday, coincidentally, as Lindsey German pointed out, ‘the 22nd anniversary of the biggest march in British history, over the Iraq war– and the signs are it too will be a very big protest.’  Let’s make it huge!

Get to London, assemble midday on Whitehall and march to the US embassy. 

Speakers include Palestinian activist Iyad Burnat, Zarah Sultana MP, Michael Rosen, author, poet and presenter, journalist Owen Jones, Palestinian activist, Jeanine Hourani, Eddie Dempsey, RMT senior assistant general secretary, Jeremy Corbyn, MP, Hamza Stitan, Palestinian activist, Lindsey German, convenor at Stop the War coalition, Ben Jamal, director of Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, and the Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Husam Zumlot.

Palestine – Defend the Right to Protest

Hundreds protested outside Westminster Magistrates Court on Thursday as Chris Nineham and two other Palestine activists appeared before the court following their arrests at the Palestine protest on 18 January. MPs, actors and activists gave powerful speeches linking the need to protect our right to protest to the Palestine solidarity movement. Actor Juliet Stevenson told the crowd what she had witnessed on the day in question.

We were delighted that the judge saw fit to drop the bail conditions initially imposed on Chris Nineham, which prohibited his attending Palestine protests. But that is not enough. All charges must be dropped. As Lindsey German said, ‘The right to protest is under attack, and in particular the right to protest for justice and freedom.’  

Chris returns to court in July. In the meantime we must continue our campaign to defend the right to protest. We have a number of meetings taking place up and down the country. Please get along to an event in your area, and help support the campaign.

The immediate outcome of Trump telling Europe that it must look to its own defence now that America has other priorities is that Ukraine’s president Zelensky has called for the creation of a united forces of Europe. Something like this was called for ages ago by Delors or one of the other European federalists. Nobody had much enthusiasm for it, and the Brexiteer right have a conspiracy theory about such a plan, in which it is going to be the military wing of the EU to occupy Britain. This bizarre idea briefly appeared again on one of the anti-immigrant YouTube channels, which claimed that Labour was in favour of it and so going to be betray Britain.

As for Trump’s stance as a peacemaker, this was shot to pieces by the excellent Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk. I was taken in by it, as it really seemed to me that Trump was genuinely against the deployment of American troops in the Middle East. He wasn’t. He was originally all for it, but only changed his tune as a way of gaining popularity over the other Republican candidates the first time he went for the presidency. He’s just as bloodthirsty and militaristic as the rest of them. On the other hand, Libertarian Repug Rand Paul stood up in Congress this past week and said that he didn’t want America wasting its treasure and the blood of its courageous soldiery to occupy Gaza for Israel, so perhaps there is still some genuine opposition to Trump’s imperialism among similar Republicans.

Secular Talk on Donald Trump Breaking Wind During Rally

Okay, it’s not big, and it’s not clever. But as this is Donald Trump, who has no qualms about launching ad hominem attacks on his opponents, it is funny. In this clip from Secular Talk, host Kyle Kulinski talks about Donald Trump very audibly breaking wind at campaign rallies and elsewhere. He posted other videos about this issue several months ago following speculation among Democrats that Trump may be incontinent. This apparently resulted in the hashtag #diaperdon. He speculates whether it’s due to old age or amphetamine abuse, as the drug can make people lose control of their bowels. There’s a story here that Trump was in a restaurant in New York in 1983 and passed gas, and the smell was so foul that some of the other diners asked him to leave.

I’m posting it up as some of the other material coming out about Trump is grim. Kulinski has also posted a video in which Trump goes on about the importance of genetics. He declared that murderers have bad genes. Trump, on the other hand, says that he’s a winner and therefore has good genes. They’re German genes, ‘excellent stuff’. This, Kulinski comments, is pure eugenics. And if you take that genetic determinism far enough, you end up getting rid of the welfare state, because nothing you do will help those with bad genes. He also says that Trump declaring he’s got good genes a homage to the Nazis. Well, the Nazis would certainly have agreed that Trump is a biological superior man with good genes because he’s a millionaire businessman. Even though the only reason he is, is because his dad bailed him out something like four times. He also claimed that he’s good at English, which is highly questionable given that his staff were told not to give him documents with more than a page of text and use lots of diagrams. He also attacked Kamala Harris for wanting to house and feed people, which is what the government should be doing for people who are too poor eat for reasons beyond their control.

A few days ago Now This Impact, an American left-wing site, posted a text piece in which the producers of the American version of The Apprentice blamed themselves for presenting the misleading image of Trump as a successful entrepreneur. At the time they launched the show, he definitely wasn’t. In fact, he’d been bankrupt four times. But for the sake of the show, they needed to pretend that he was.

Trump wasn’t the great businessman he claimed to be. His administration in the White House was chaotic and incompetent, but it took money away from America’s hard-pressed blue collar folks and gave it to the megarich. So he can’t really complain if people start wondering about the state of his bowels.

Secular Talk: IDF Troopers Deliberately Shooting Toddlers

There are a number of videos about this atrocity by Israeli soldiers. This particularly snippet comes from Secular Talk, presented by Kyle Kulinski. I’m not an atheist or a secularist, but I respect Kulinski and his show as an alternative, left-wing news channel. It gives America and the world the news that you are not going to see on the mainstream news channels.

In this video Kulinski discusses and comments on clips from MSMNBC and some of the other mainstream channels of American doctor, Mark Perlmutter, talking about the scale of civilian deaths in Gaza. The official estimate of 40,000 is too low. He puts it at 118,000 although the Lancet estimated it at 186,000. He also talks about two cases in which a child was brought to him having been shot twice by high velocity rounds. They had been expertly shot in the chest, exactly where he would put his stethoscope, and then shot in the temple. No expert sniper accidentally shoots a child twice. His testimony is backed up by a letter from 20 other doctors stating that they have seen the same thing.

Kulinski asks how much evidence do people need before they realize that this is a genocide. There is the deliberate destruction of civilian buildings and the killing of civilians. There are concentration camps where civilians are tortured, and Israeli politicos making genocidal remarks. And now, according to polls, the dominant attitude among Americans is that Israeli is being too harsh. When the war started,, this was very much a minority position. Now it’s the main one. Only 18 per cent of Americans want military aid to Israel increased.

The video also includes a clip from a campaign video set in 2040 as people around the world commemorate the genocide in Paris, Berlin and other places. The genocide memorial consists of black monoliths with the faces of the children who have been murdered by the IDF. This is followed by small children asking their grandparents what they were doing when all this was going on.

Powerful stuff.

Kulinski also asks whether this is caused by generation trauma. Is Israeli wiping out the Palestinians because the Nazis attempted to wipe out them, in the same way that abused children may go on to become abusers themselves. And all the time the Israelis hide behind victimhood, and confused anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism.

Israel’s enormities have no reached such an extent that Biden, who was previously trying to bribe the Israelis not to commit them with increased funding, has now made some kind of murmurings about cutting aid to Israel.

Italy has been so angered by the Israeli attack on the UN peace keeper base in Lebanon and the killing of two UN troopers that the Foreign Minister has made a public statement denouncing it. He said it could not be considered just retaliation and ordered the Israeli ambassador to convey his remarks to his minister. The Italian foreign minister concluded with the statement ‘The UN and Italy do not take orders from Mr Netanyahu.’

Bravo.

Meanwhile, how is our 100 per cent Zionist prime minister going to respond to these atrocities? And what do they make Howard Jacobson, who doesn’t want Israeli atrocities reported in case they incite anti-Semitism?
