Home Guard will protect us (politicians)

'Home Guard' to protect UK from infrastructure attack?

Thousands may be recruited into a civilian force to guard vital facilities such as airports and nuclear plants under proposals for 'pre-war era'

Please BBC et al, stop telling us we are in danger of a Russian invasion. The Russians are far too canny as to want to try and control an island nation of over 60 million football hooligans with nothing other than fish and chips in the form of resources to offer. Of course we are not all hooligans but it would certainly be difficult without deploying thousands of foot soldiers to permanently control a country like ours. The risk of us retaliating with atomic weapons is enormous. There is bluntly nothing to be gained.

One weak argument would be to establish a north sea base, rather the way we command the entrance to the Mediterranen in Gibraltar but it would hardly be worth the effort. The Russians will also have realised that they are not capable of successfully invading a border sharing neighbour let alone an island nation thousands of miles away.

So why the rush to create a home guard?

It really is so simple that even the thickest of labourites should be able to see through the ploy. Starmer and Co are not afraid of the enemy from overseas but very much afraid of the enemy from within.

There may be some really stupid people who can envisage a French invasion in retaliation for the loss at Agincourt or more likely to force access to our herring and mackerel resources but we cannot believe that even the French would risk a bomb on the Eifel Tower.

Germany? Let's not forget the Bosh as the French often referred to them, who are in dire straits after their major source of income from the motor industry is visibly wilting and other than some woodland, a tiny quantity of coal, some iron ore and uranium in parts of Northern Bavaria so minimal that it is not worth anybody's efforts to mine it.

Germany's population is so split on any issues that the thought that they might have appetite for the Fourth Reich is unimaginable. Added to which the German 9 till 5 armed forces, we don't fight at weekends with our von der Layen broomsticks, will never be a match for even a handful of our special forces.

So why should small bore Starmer, who by many on social media sites such as X or even in the mainstream publications refer to as the sellout traitor, consider we need a latter day "Dad's Army" home guard.

It doesn't require a great deal of imagination and of course the term conspiracy theorists will be used to defame any that have already seen through the ploy and are calling a spade a spade.

Louise Perry* interviews David Betz* on Youtube pointing out the real dangers are from within. That for example the politicians were actively trying to subvert the Brexit referendum results.

He talks about post nationalism

We are too rich, too old, too fat for a civil war Louise says

We Brits believe we are OK, a self conception. Not reality, no longer true. National Myths.

David Cameron said society was fractured and multi culturalism was a disaster for the country Leading to a society that was ghettoised into competing communities that had little relation with each other. He says Angela Merkel had said the same thing six months previously.

We are in serious economic decline. We have increasing individual and group acts that target the divisions within our society. Significant the "industrial" rape gangs which will increase

Louise says "Grooming Gangs" does not capture what is really going on. The perception is that this was permitted by the State and the state has allowed this to happen to its own people.and is continuing to do so.

David says there is a triumph of identity politics and also the most factionalised societies are not prone to civil war because there is no single group to dominate and coordinate revolt on its own.

This is why the security agencies are actually more concerned with white identity movements because ideas have mass potential within that community. In the literature it is often when an earlier dominant group appears to be losing that dominance. Considered to be a highly important factor.

It will start he feels as a latin American dirty war but will metastasise rapidly into a broader civil conflict which will have a Rural versus Urban dimension. The method will be to collapse the major cities through physical infrastructure. Creating mass chaos. He explains this in The Coming British Civil War - David Betz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gid48FgiHho

We wonder if the power cuts in Spain and Portugal were caused by some subversion or possibly an attack from a foreign state. Certainly few observers believe the official version that it was caused by temperature differences.

He feels it will echo the peasant revolts of the distant past more than the leftist more recent revolts

A city is a conglomerate of people unable to support itself food-wise; cities have life support system from outside. You only need a small group to attack the infrastructure of a city and this could cause a city to collapse and this infrastructure in UK is unguarded

An example would be the gas delivery and it is highly explosive. Electrics the same are easy to attack. Also psychologically it is easier to get people to attack stuff than other people.

In the discussion on legitimacy he uses ULEZ as an example of trying to keep control but this control can easily be brought down by switching off electricity. Opposition groups have just been going round smashing the cameras.

We will become heavily policed society which due to the costs will be very much poorer
