Treason Is In Season

My goodness, but there is a lot of it about at the moment.

The Independent Orange Order and the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, or at least the House of Paisley, appear to have renounced their allegiance to the King, holding him to have been deposed by his having prayed with the Pope. Orangeism, to which it should be added that the late Ian Paisley never had any affiliation, is not Unionist as a first principle. It exists to maintain the Protestant Ascendancy, and on that basis it opposed the Union of 1800, accurately predicting that it would lead to Catholic Emancipation by the uncomprehending English.

That it is the origin of the epithet "Hun" is contested, but there is no doubt that the opponents of Irish Home Rule conspired with "Protestant Bill the Kaiser". Far from having decommissioned its weapons, Ulster Resistance has never so much as declared a ceasefire. And here we are. Right when the Raise the Colours fraternity, which has amused some of us no end by making parts of Consett look like East Belfast, has been expressing its scorn for the King because of his environmentalism and his perceived Islamic sympathies.

As reported in The Times, so the spooks want the centrist middle middle classes to know it, Christopher Berry and Christopher Cash were strong opponents of the Chinese regime, if not particularly well-informed ones, who were engaged in disinformation with a view to fomenting "regime collapse". By contrast, both the Government and great tracts of British business would be guilty of the straightforwardly treasonable act of trading with the enemy if China were any such thing.

Showing how much survived the Cultural Revolution, the poisonous regime in Beijing has identified Five Poisons, although so far as I can tell it has not identified each of them with a specific one of the ancient Five, none of which could all win, several of which could only do so by destroying several of the others, and all of which are active in Britain, but not on behalf of our own State. Tibetan separatists are close to the King personally and that needs watching, while Uighur Islamists are of course backed to the hilt by the Saudis to whom are rulers prostrated themselves. But both, and Taiwanese separatism, and Falun Gong, and "the Chinese democracy movement" (read the small print), are maintained here, as everywhere, ultimately by and for the CIA.

Although the Americans also have to explain why they therefore allowed the Chinese to own key American infrastructure and to flood American homes with Chinese produce, that is where the motivation, including the money, will have come from for Berry and Cash. And for how many more? They are probably little more than Walter Mittys, and they are certainly being hung out to dry because they got caught, but it is inconceivable that they were the only such characters of whom such use was being made, making this country, their country, a target.

Not that they have been alone in doing so. The Wagner Group would have had no interest in paying two-bit South London drug dealers to set fire to an East London warehouse if our Government had not been sending the Starlink satellite equipment that it contained to Svoboda, Pravy Sektor, the National Corps, C14, the Azov Brigade, the Aidar Battalion, the Donbas Battalion, the Dnipro-1 Battalion, the Dnipro-2 Battalion, the Kraken Regiment, and all the rest of them, including the Freedom of Russia Legion and the Russian Volunteer Corps.

Nathan Gill's former teaboy could not be elected at Caerphilly, and while Russian aircraft do enter NATO airspace as is bound to happen occasionally, it is Ukraine that has attacked Germany, Hungary and Romania, so far. Other NATO members have their own reasons, but Britain can do nothing because the whole world knows that three Ukrainian rent boys set fire to Keir Starmer's rented out house, to his old flat, and to his old car, just as the whole world knows that Starmer is the father of Jenny Chapman's child, that he is separated from his wife, and that he has been having an affair with Lord Alli.

And then there is Israel. There is always, always, always Israel. Now the Shadow Foreign Secretary, Priti Patel was once sacked by Theresa May as International Development Secretary because Patel had attempted to divert overseas aid money to a Golan Heights field hospital that Israel had given to the so-called Islamic State. But Patel has won in the end. On Tuesday, Shabana Mahmood deproscribed Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham. Instead of that, we need to worry about those blind wheelchair-users and octogenarian clergywomen in Palestine Action, which was proscribed by Mahmood's predecessor, Yvette Cooper. Cooper granted visas to every foreign speaker at the Unite the Kingdom rally in support of an Irish citizen resident in Spain, who in recent days has nodded obediently as his paying hosts told him that Britain had "a special place in Hell". How would Stephen Yaxley-Lennon have reacted if a Muslim had said that? His response would have contained the word "treason".
