I don’t trust Nigel Farage. But that doesn’t mean he is wrong on everything. He is not wrong, for example, when he says that the Russian incursion into Eastern Ukraine was provoked by the West. Nor is he wrong that the only acceptable solution is a negotiated peace settlement.

But that still doesn’t mean we should trust him. This is the same man who, during the fake Covid pandemic helped promote the psyop by allowing himself to be filmed banging his pots and pans for ‘Our NHS’. And the same man who urged that Tony Blair should be put in charge of the operation to roll out those safe and effective vaccines now bowling over his constituency like ninepins.

So what are we to make of it when so blatant and slippery an Establishment change agent suddenly spouts something that makes such obvious sense? Are we to go - as so many Reform voters are saying - “Well he may not be perfect. But at least he’s preferable to the Sunak/Starmer uniparty.”

No, he is not. For Farage, too, is a card-carrying member of the Sunak/Starmer uniparty. His role is merely to offer the gullible the illusion that the rigged voting system offers any alternative other than the uniparty.

It’s not always easy to work out the strategy behind the antics of Deep State players like Farage.

But if I had to guess as to the rationale behind his Ukraine comments I would say they served two main purposes.

The first is to serve as a warning to any other ‘public figures’ tempted to speak out of turn. So, for example, in the Mail on Sunday, you had political editor Glen Owen declaring ex cathedra that “The appearance of Russian appeasement was not a good look, and represents the first major misstep in a campaign which threatens to destroy the Conservative Party.” You had Rishi Sunak - currently prime minister, apparently - accusing him of ‘playing into the hands of Putin.’ And in the Telegraph letters section - not a genuine representation of what Telegraph readers think but of what the Telegraph’s letters editor wants you to think they think - there have appeared various letters claiming: “As a disgruntled Tory voter I was thinking of giving Reform a chance, but…”

Farage’s role here would not be dissimilar to the one played by fellow Deep State change agent Alex Jones in the confected Sandi Hook trial. “That’s a nice career you’ve got there. You sure you want to jeopardise it by asking questions about forbidden subjects?”

The other main purpose of Farage’s comments, I suspect, is intelligence gathering. When you’re trying to whip the populace up into a pro-war fervour, you need to gauge at intervals the extent to which your propaganda is working. The last thing you want is mass refusals to fight and ‘Not our war’ demos.

I don’t want to offer too many crumbs of consolation because I think They are going to get Their war, willy nilly, just like They do with all Their wars. Still, I do get the impression that we, the useless eaters, are not quite as hungry to send our boys and girls to the meatgrinder in order to die for a coke-snorting puppet best known for playing the piano with his penis as They might have liked us to be at this stage.

One clue is Twitter (aka Elon Musk’s intelligence gathering operation for his Deep State backers). When Toby Young, for example, puts out another of his ‘we need to escalate the war with evil Putler now’ tweets, the ratio is massive. The ‘only people’ supporting him are intelligence services bots.

Another slipped out by accident - I’m sure it was by accident because he is one of theirs too - in the Sunday Telegraph column of yet another of my old friends from the days before I saw the light, Daniel Hannan. Dan - that’ll be Lord Hannan to you - was reporting back from the General Election campaign trail. He had been canvassing in the Home Counties and had kept a tally of the reasons volunteered by former Conservatives for switching.

“They include assisted dying, HS2, Just Stop Oil, aid to Ukraine and the badger cull.”

I’m surprised that that ‘aid to Ukraine’ made it past the self-censor but somehow it did. And though the phrasing was vague, I think we can take it than none of the disappointed ex-Tory supporters Hannan doorstepped was furious that more money wasn’t being spunked on the Ukraine forever war. And if not even Home Counties Tory voters are hot for war with evil Putler, then who the hell in Britain is?

One more thing, entirely unrelated to this subject, but worth mentioning. Hannan also let slip that not a single person he canvassed mentioned Brexit. This surprised him but I don’t think it will surprise anyone here. Brexit was just another psyop. A total con. Nobody, not even the Normies, is buying that one any more.
