When General Dwight D Eisenhower liberated the first Nazi death camp in 1944, his immediate order was to gather every photographer in the region and take frank, no-feelings spared photos of everything his forward Divisions had discovered there.
Asked why he was doing it, Ike wisely replied, ''Because sooner rather than later, some apologist son of a bitch is going to claim this never happened''. How right he was.
Sovyet dictator Josef Stalin's Gulags would have remained largely unknown if brave couriers close to Solzhenytsin hadn't smuggled the Russian dissident's manuscript One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch out to the West.
The first thing any paranoid psychotic leader of a totalitarian State ensures is that only the squeaky-clean glowing historical version of his reign emerges. As the saying goes, ''History is written by the victors''.
Until the late twentieth century, this was relatively easy wool to place over the eyes of the People. Digital media, film/photo/sound production and the arrival of the internet changed everything.
At first, digital was heralded as a sort of global Truth serum that could cross borders and show up every fake. It was used to remaster and clean up the gunshot recordings and echoes at JFK's assassination, and show that at least two guns from at least two directions had been involved.
But overall, three things have happened since. First and foremost, the ability to make any and every fake almost undetectable has raced ahead of the methods that suggest an image might be counterfeit. Second, digital makes censorship easy....especially if both the old, new and social media can be bribed or threatened via circuitous ownership. And finally, digital ''entertainment'' distracts a public already hopelessly dumbed down by forced equality in education and a total lack of any questioning approach to civics, awarding less and less value to liberties our ancestors fought hard to get.
Today we live in the world of Giga-apathy, summed up by ''Yeh, whatevva''.
If the risible course of the Covid19 enquiry continues down its current cul-de-sac of looking solely for incompetence (ignoring every conspiracy) then we can safely assume that knuckles will be rapped, systems will be altered on the surface, lessons – we'll be promised – shall have be learned....and nobody goes to jail.
Meanwhile, in biolabs all over Ukraine, shredders are working 27 hours a day; in Brussels, damning agreements signed in secret with the Pharma monsters are being changed to something less corruptly commercial; in the US, the CDC, FDA and very probably the CIA are doctoring test results, claiming they never said Covid19 was naturally occurring, while dishing out baloney in all directions to point the finger at fellow-travellers....and kicking the trail around to cover up all tracks.
Josef Goebbels – minister of propaganda under the Nazis – said, ''The bigger the lie, the better and the more it will be believed. We hate the Jews and the Communists, so we tell the masses that all Jews are Communists and vice versa. It never fails''.
Those working hard for the New Normal have been, for much of this century, telling whoppers to make Geobbels tumescent in his grave. The sole purpose of the operation has been to keep the plebs (be they comfortably off smuggies or roadsweepers) at the mercy of fanatics destroying their certainty about any kind of reality in a three dimensional universe....such that, in the future, they can sell them any old bollocks...and fulfill the prophecy of The Slog: IABATO – It's All Bollocks And That's Official
But the ability to do this convincingly was only possible if they erased and/or changed the past. ''We're simply following the science'' the Bad Guys claimed on a daily basis about Covid19. But this was science that either didn't exist, or was quietly changed across the board to create a New Normal. The definition of a pandemic, the levels of acceptable vaccine efficacy, the use of locking-down, the wearing of masks to reduce spread, the rationale for vaccinating anyone under twelve years old, the stability or otherwise of mRNA in the human body, the ridiculous idea that twice-yearly ''boosters'' would be necessary for many decades, new strains and mutations are appearing every month...none of it was science, and almost all of it was wrong.
Covid19 in the end has been statistically proved to kill 20 human beings per 100,000, 78% of whom are aged over 75, with 60% of these already having other pathogens to weaken their resistance. This is way, way below previously accepted definitions of a pandemic. Yes, it was a cull: every year there is a cull, and most of We The Empiricals call it flu.
All of this explains why, from here on, the focus and emphasis will be on saving the real Past so it cannot be used as a malign weapon to destroy liberty in the future.
I think the sentence highlighted above answers, in two lines, why the unelected secret State launched Covid, and the spineless political and monied medical bureaucrats went along with it. Examine if you will the effect of draconian Covid measures throughout the countries of all three worlds:
- The near destruction of hundreds of long-haul destinations crucially dependent on tourism
- To over time lay the foundations for culling Kissinger's useless eaters: well, the grand old man of Weltpolitik may well have just kissingered his own ass goodbye, but his grisly legacy remains
- Dramatic increases in over 80% of national debts from the US via the UK to almost all of Africa
- Consequently, the continuing rise and rise of the IMF in particular and the bourse/banking sector in general. And so...
- The same old, same old: a growing sense of being overwhelmed by wars, social violence, disease and chaos among the tribe Homo sapiens...and thus the rapid strengthening of the case for World Government by global Big Brother, run entirely by those deluded Warmists, greedy neocons and surveillance control-freak ideologues and a hundred organisations whose megalomania is given away by their 100% use of the descriptor 'World'.
If anyone doubts even this avalanche of evidence, I would ask them one further question:
''Can you identify any sane reason why the British political State under Rishi Sunak is signing onto electoral suicide by importing a million unfiltered and potentially activist migrants, the overwhelming majority of whom have no job skills, no housing - only belief systems that are Jihadist, anti-Semite, anti-Infidel, anti-women and generally antithetical to our Island values?''
Compare the current boats madness and the human influx it brings with the UK's past record on immigration levels. Surely the same conclusion emerges: he is obeying orders from elsewhere.

It's been a long time – some 22 years - since my original anti-globalist email substack was started, gave way to Not Born Yesterday, and then in turn emerged [involuntarily] as The Slog.
I'm probably getting a bit past it now, but I hope I am myself still capable of rational analysis. And that analytical honesty tells me that – over that two decades or more – this site and its readership, alongside millions of others, have seen almost endless 'stop the rot here', 'call their bluff in the Rhineland not Poland', 'Remove the civil Right to a promised State pension and let loose the neolib dogs of social war', 'The Rule of law is being dismantled', 'This really is the last-chance saloon' appeals ad nauseam and seemingly ad infinitum.
Well, these opportunities were given and then ignored by enough of the population of Earth to ensure that the Global Big Brother Comfort-blanket is now probably no less than 2-1 on favourite to be the future World Order our grandchildren inherit within five years.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of Evil is for many good men to do nothing
The real story of this, the first quarter of the 21st Century, has been a series of tests and studies undertaken by hollow people, their key internal missing element being a soul.
My boomer generation will all be dead very soon. If you reran the Brexit plebiscite today, there would be a sizeable majority in favour of going back into the den of thieves.
So my only real aim from now on is to sabotage their systems, and make it as difficult as possible for them to achieve what they most crave: an eradicated past to create a dystopian future. Because there is still a chance – albeit a slim one – that a return to healthy Radical Reality might be revived if, at any time, the World Order over-reaches itself.
Please don't dismiss further new posts here as nostalgia. The only useful job I can do as a writer in the time remaining to me is to leave behind a very clear record of how and why the mutualised mixed-economy humanitarian approach to life gave me a once-only chance to look up and reach for the sky....an opportunity being ripped from the grasp of all but the most privileged going forward.
Today's edition, by the way, also offers two newly updated page versions (about what the overall Slog strategy is) below the main masthead.
Thanks for reading. Back again soon....
